My partner loved elevenB's pizzas when we lived in the East Village. He would order a pie or two once in while. So are his parents who live just two blocks away. As a celebration for his birthday (two weeks ago) and for us getting married, he wanted to gather the family at ElevanB. We ordered a few pies of pizza (some plain and some with meat), baked zitis and garlic breads. I recommend these. I would not recommend the soup though because I think it's from canned soups. Overall, Vincent the owner took care of us. He also recommended BYOBs as an option to save some money. We didn't do it but that was a nice option at 11B if you go host a gathering. The inside of the restaurant is also very nicely decorated, and homey. This restaurant has been around for 18 years, and I hope it goes on as East Village has gone through so much gentrification in the last two decades. I hope it will stay for a while. Best of luck!! read more

The dough is completely white like they never heated the pizza; they increased the slice to $4 and my hand is bigger than the slice; the sauce of the pizza needs more flavor. Servers can't take constructive criticism to make the business better by letting their employer know, instead they pretend like the business is theirs and tell you to go somewhere else. That's why every time I pass through there it is empty only 1 or two people are there. It's so bad they are not even on Google Maps I suggest people to go to Barata basil on Avenue a, or Village Square Pizza or Pops Pizza on Avenue B 13th St. read more

I come here with my family for lunch on weekends after football practice and it never disappoints. The food is good, the restaurant is beautiful, and the staff is very friendly. This place has two area, on the corner is the dine in area and then on the side they have a small to go counter. They also have outside seating. They have a bar and they serve wine and beer but no liquor. Will be coming here again. read more

Ordered delivery: They had a menu item that they currently don't serve, they were polite enough to ask if I wanted to substitute but didn't change the price (my substitute was cheaper). I also ordered their meatball parmigiana plate. 1) they slice their meatballs, which is really to their detriment as it looked like gray silly putty, 2) they serve their pasta on the side (and NOT spaghetti, actually overcooked smooth rigatoni shoved into a soup container making it a soggy brick which was INEDIBLE!) If I could give them zero stars I would. read more

Very cozy spot. I think the TVs they have there should be given historical artifact status-- I don't think they sell them that small anymore. But they were perfect for the ambiance, had football on but wasn't turning the homey-feel into a sports bar. My roommate and I went here and service was fast. I got the arugula salad which was fantastic, the ziti with broccoli not so much... I got it with white sauce, which ended up just being broth/stock. The dish itself tasted fine, just nothing special. But the portions were huge so I'm excited to use the leftovers and remake it my own way. My roommate got the chicken parm and really enjoyed it. We both got cheesecake and that was super good. Because it's so close to where we live and reasonably priced, I'll definitely be going back to try other things than the ziti with brocoli. read more

Thank you for being the one restaurant that I've ever ordered chicken parm from to understand the assignment when I said extra sauce and extra cheese. After a bad day, this delicious meal made me feel better. Delicious, excellent portions, hot when it arrived, everything was perfect. I want every chicken parm I order to be like this. I guess I know where to go from now on. Thank you 11 B. You da real MVP. Sorry my picture looks messy, I couldn't wait to eat so it's kind of a halfway through situation. So good. *cries in yummy* read more

Ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana, and was very pleasantly surprised! For $15 it's an absolute steal, large portion, fresh and homemade, very tasty! Could be the best bargain left in the East Village! read more

Wonderful food, incredible service the owner is so welcoming, must try east village spot!!

A group of three of us came for lunch today (Wednesday) and were warmly greeted by the owner, Vincent Sgarlato. We enjoyed large portions of the meatball parm and felt welcome, as other reviewers commented, just like family. If you're in the East Village and want solid, tasty Italian dishes, make sure you stop here! read more

Eleven B - Vincent Sgarlato, the restaurant's owner, treats his customers like family. - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

The manager snuck us in a bit early to the restaurant side to allow us to take a breather from the summer heat... the pizza was top notch!!! Will be back to try the wine section of the restaurant (open in the evening) read more

I live in this neighborhood (for 35 years) and have brought groups to 11B several times (our son's school is a block away.) The owner has been hostile every time, and has grown more combative. He actually yells and picks fights with me. I am not one to argue, ever. It's more than an anger management issue. I can safely say he is a homophobe as he has treated other gay people with hostility. It actually seems like mental illness. I actively discourage anyone from going to 11B. The food is certainly not worth it and I have never been treated with such disrespect. read more

Old school New York pizza spot. I say "old school" meaning g their pizza is made the way it should be. Phenomenal taste all around- sauce, cheese and crust. While pizza only has these three components we all know it's easy to made a bad pizza- this family as been in the business over 50 years. Definitely a pizza spot you should try read more

As a gluten-free vegetarian, I was thrilled to stumble on this place with friends. The gluten free pasta is great. They were very nice about answering my questions about what was in the sauces (I ended up having red sauce and broccoli). It's the next day, and I would have felt symptoms by now if there was even a little gluten, so I trust they keep a safe kitchen. Got some fries for the table too. Crispy and nice. Prosecco was fantastic. I liked the outdoor seating area. Really nice service, ambiance, food, people. read more

The food and service was great. The rest of this is a response to the "homophobia" allegation by Yelper "Bill B." posted "10 days ago" mins I was going to send it as a message but I figured why not just post it. To Yelper "Bill B." Hi, This is a response to your review of 11B. I wanted to let you know that my GF and our two friends, a gay (and interracial) couple, went tonight so we are reporting back. "Homophobia" is a very serious indictment, it is serious enough to be worthy of looking into. I mean,i anyone can have whatever beliefs they choose but if someone is running a business in my neighborhood they better be cool and keep negativity to themselves. After reading your review we devised a test (chatting with Vincent), they started talking to him and wanted to see if Vincent would be pleasant. The guy also (when given a bonafide chance) sent a drink back (wine "too bitter"), they made sure to report the issue to Vincent himself. As far as the guys themselves, you could definitely tell they were gay; affectionate (not "PDA" level) and one was wearing a kinda loud/flamboyant Commes Des Garcon shirt, a floral pattern. The guy was very friendly, semi-chatty with them even, in fact my friends forgot the test and just enjoyed speaking to him. My friends verdicts were "no apparent homophobia" and "zero out of five on the homophobia scale." As I said above "homophobia" or other such accusations are very serious to publicly proclaim. If the guy didn't actually even actually say anything outwardly homophobic it is bordering (arguably more than bordering) on being libelous. By proclaiming (I'm not questioning it) that you are "gay," you are strongly implying that you have a heightened perception, more experience and better skills at identifying someone who is a "homophobe." It kind of makes the reader (me) feel that you are pretty much "expert in the matter," so if you personally believe it, it must be true. Right? Like I said, I don't know the guy but if you are going to review on Yelp and places in our neighborhood you should hold yourself to a higher standard. Perhaps there is a common denominator, maybe you are unpleasant, bad chemistry or maybe you are he has psyche issues but you can't fault someone for a medical condition- it's actually pretty insensitive. By the way, my party did not detect any psychological issues in Vincent, if we did we (which we didn't) we wouldn't post it in a public forum. Thanks for your time, Kerry read more

I have gone into the express eleven b for pizza several time. Always a great experience. I have a service dog and we went in this last Sunday to just grab a quick slice that takes about 5 minutes to run in and out. I have been in with my dog several times and the owner hasn't said anything. Suddenly I get yelled at that he has too many people to have him in there. Only 3 people and one Uber eats pick up driver. The owner was very hostile and took me aback. I didn't feel the need to go into the fact he is a service dog, scared to receive more hostile response. He gave me a slice but made a scene about us standing in the back. Simply we weren't an issue, and would of just been right up the near the drink and window area causing no problems. If there is a policy say it the first time in there. Secondly I'd happily come back to show you his papers but will be giving my business elsewhere. If he just simply said I'm sorry no dogs I would of understood. Don't let me come in several times and then scream at me about my dog. A very unfortunate sad experience I threw away the slice I was so taken aback a lost my appetite. read more

The owner makes the pizza! Nice hard-working guy, apologized for the fact that their main dining room didn't happen to be open on an early Sunday afternoon, but all the same we had a great pizza outside on a sunny but mild August afternoon. Good pizza, good value, great attitude. No complaints. Support your local! read more

We've been ordering from here since I was a child. It's the best pizza in the neighborhood. my mom is constantly ordering from there because she enjoys their great food and amazing service. I had dinner there with my family and it was a great family dinner. read more

Eleven B - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

The Quick: Definition 3.5 stars for me. BYOB (amazing), food is pretty good, atmosphere/decor great, staff is wonderful, location difficult to get to. If you are not planning to drink, I wouldn't bother, but great for boozy night with friends or a date if you're semi close by. The Details: I dined here as part of a large group with a fixed menu. $50 for family-style meal including tax and tip. There was more than enough food to go around which was great. Salad, antipasti, pizza, chicken parm and rigatoni. (Gluten and dairy free options, just ask your waiter). The food was good, nothing to rave about but good. It was BYOB so we brought multiple bottles and had a lovely time. The price seemed a bit much for the food we had, but if we would have paid for drinks it would have been a fortune. Once again, the staff was extremely accommodating, I'd probably have a party here just because I know they'd make sure everything went smoothly. If you live in the lower East side, it's a great spot for a big party. The Damage: See above. Normal menu prices were very reasonable. read more

Appreciated the service --nice, efficient, not overbearing. I enjoyed my burger. Pizza looked good. The wine was not overpriced. The cheesecake was great. It's a good neighborhood spot. Id come here to get a pizza and wine, sit outside and watch the NYC dogs walk by. read more

Could be worst pizza in all of New York City - Really bad all around. Have lived in this neighborhood for 30 + years and have not had anything as bad as this thrown together, gimme your money, pie!!! Avoid at all costs. Wow! Others sharing this miserable pie with me have added: "gives cardboard a bad name" "I was suspicious when they said "10 minutes". "the only thing worse than this pizza is this year's super bowl" "it's bad" read more

Eleven B - Pathetic Super Bowl Slice - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

On April 20, 2024, I bought a slice of pizza at 11B pizza. As usual, I took a seat at one of the outdoor tables. No sooner than right after I took my first bite of pizza, one of the owners named Vincent Sgarlato, approached me and told me I could not sit there but did not give me a reason. When I asked him for a reason, he said that was because I only ordered a slice and not a meal. Please note, that from the time of the pandemic when this business added outdoor seating, I would just buy a slice and sit outside unbothered. This was the first time that Vincent told me I cannot sit there and eat my pizza. I was in shock. He pointed to a sign that said something like "tables are for customers only". I was a customer because I paid for the pizza. It was not as if I was loitering and just sat there without buying anything. Neither was I being a nuisance. The sign did not say that customers who only buy a slice cannot sit there nor did it say that the seats were for customers who ordered a big meal. Vincent, you need to learn how to read and write. You should have spent more time in school than trying to impress the gals at the disco. The outdoor seating has never been used for waiter service. Only the indoor seats in the restaurant proper are supposed to be used for waiter service. Vincent lied and said that the outdoor seating had waiter service. Vincent started to become very belligerent and behaved in a threatening manner. He yelled that he was the boss and it was his business and started to wave his hands in my face. When I told him to keep an arms distance from me, he yelled and said "that is why I hate you people". He also accused me of being "woke". I am not "woke". Even if I were "woke", that should not have mattered. I believe Vincent really wanted to fight me. He was saying things, like "yo, you think you so tough". Mind you, I am an older woman with a disability and barely 5'2" when I stand up straight. Sure, I'm from Brooklyn too and stand up for myself. However, I did not get nasty until he got nasty with me. It doesn't matter, Vincent is still a bully and a coward. I have witnessed him bully disabled or elderly people. He would never fight a real man because he is a coward. He is pretty much nasty to anyone he believes is beneath him in looks or social standing. Which is a joke because he is uneducated and uncouth. In the looks department he looks like one of those guys who try to dye their own hair and hang out at mixers with women who can be his daughter. He just got lucky in life to inherit his family business which he is running into the ground. His actions towards me were pure targeted discrimination because there were two other tables of young white women who did not order anything but Vincent did not ask them to leave. I have patronized this business for the last 5 years and supported them through the pandemic and this is how he treats a loyal customer. I have heard from other people and read Yelp and Google reviews that Vincent and his brother were racist, homophobic, ageist, and also violated ADA laws. Vincent and his family are really nasty people. Vincent's unhinged behavior during this exchange caused customers to leave without ordering. This guy deserves to go out of business. Response to Vincent's response: Vincent, your sign only said "for customers only". There were no signs that indicated that the tables were reserved. If I bought a slice of pizza, then I qualify as a customer. You know very well that you are the one who became belligerent first and I was forced to defend myself. You also know full well that yesterday was the first time that you took issue with me sitting outside. You also lied when you said that I refused to leave. I got up to leave as soon as you started yelling at me to leave. It is disgraceful how you treat a customer who supported you during the pandemic when so many businesses were forced to close. I am sure if someone treated you the way you treated me, you would not be able to handle it. read more

This is probably the most disgusting place I've ever been to. We ordered salads and the mushroom app and NOTHING was fresh. The beets and tomatoes were old and I immediately felt sick after. The mushroom app sits on a bed of arugula and tomatoes so it's pretty much a salad. The beet and arugula salad was beyond gross. The beets tasted really sour and awful and we asked to take away our dishes because we couldn't stand to eat them. We also ordered the Caesar salad with chicken which came with zero dressing. This place needs to be shut down or the staff and cook needs to be replaced immediately. Do yourself a favor and do not come here! ***In response to the owners comment, we DID NOT eat our food. Last thing I want is a stomach virus. Also we were going to a comedy show and came in to this place to grab a quick bite. The owner is making all this up and was not even there that night** read more

I eat the pizza here every Saturday and look forward to eating here the rest of the days. Solid eggplant. Best Sicilian in all of NYC. Great vibes. Vinny's not too bad either. He tends to flicker his eye lids when he's cracking jokes. read more

Very tasty Friday night meal. It would be 5 stars but the prices were high especially with BYOB, and I guess, as an Italian restaurant, I expected bread as a precursor to the meal. I had meatball parmigiana and it was delicious. My friends also devoured their lasagna and manicotti. The server was very nice, but once it got busy, was less attentive and I believe he was the only one taking orders. I would go back - I'll like to try their pizza. read more

Walked in on a whim.... Great service - the owner runs the place which is always a good sign. Had the mushroom salad and the eggplant parm -- great! The wine was good too! Wonderful neighborhood joint. We shall definitely return. read more

Eleven B - Ave b - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Came here with a group of 6 of us total and the place was packed for a Friday night. We ordered our food and had to ask repeatedly where the food was. It was an hour to an hour 15 later that we finally got our food. We complained and we were able to get the corking fee removed from our table. While I thought the food was delicious, (pepperoni pie, olives and veggies pie, lasagna, baked ziti), the poor service overshadows my one time experience here. read more

We ordered delivery which came in about 25 minutes, which was great. I'm just not sure how a place can deliver such inexcusably inedible food. Ordered 2 chicken cutlet panini w/fries. We received 2 chicken cutlet wedges on STALE BREAD with fries that were *at least* an hour old. They were rubbery, flaccid, and not even warm. The chicken cutlets were probably frozen and microwaved because they also had that weird rubbery texture. One bite into the sandwiches [that weren't what we ordered in the first place] and my friend and I looked at each other horrified at the weird texture and staleness. They were truly inedible. Waste of money. Avoid. ----- RESPONSE TO OWNER'S COMMENT: There was no problem at all with the time in which we received our order. The food itself was disgraceful and as the owner you need to have several words with your kitchen staff that allowed those "fries" and microwaved cutlets out the door. read more

Eleven B has two outdoor patio areas for dining and open air dining inside the restaurant. They're on a great corner for people watching! The food is fantastic. We got the chicken parm and eggplant platters, baked ziti, the mushroom appetizer and the pasta e fagioli. Everyone needs to try the pasta fagioli it's comforting and delicious! We brought our own wine and the cooking fee was very reasonable! Vincent, the owner, was hilarious and made our brunch even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back soon! read more

Perfect dinner spot for any occasion! Enjoy a quick bite or leisurely dinner with a neighborhood feel

A great local spot! Love the fact that it's BYOB too - food and service was amazing. Will be back for sure

BY FAR the absolute WORST pizza delivery experience I have ever had! They said 25-35 minutes to deliver.It took almost two hours and four phone calls to deliver one cheese pizza three blocks away at 4 o'clock on a weekday?!!! My family will never order from here again. We strongly suggest you go elsewhere for your pizza. ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC. read more

Cheap food, BYOB, get trashed on the cheap. Food: Food was average. Got the chicken parm and the grilled portobello mushrooms. Chicken a little dry reminded me of the my college hang out. Price: very heap, entrees low teens. sandwich burger below 10 Atmosphere: nice atmosphere, candles, open seating. Great for chilling with friends. Service: very helpful, refilled our wine promptly read more

Strolled across this place one night with some friends. I have to say we weren't very impressed. The atmosphere is cute, menu seemed to have good options, but the food was mediocre and service wasn't great. We had Cold Antipasto to start. Pretty good deli meats, veggies, cheese. A little hard to mess up! For meals I had a Chicken Caesar salad, couldn't say it was anything out of this world. The pizza was about average and the burgers were very disappointing. I wouldn't recommend ordering a burger here- very small patty compared to the bun and lacked flavor. The Cheese Ravioli had good reviews from my friend though! Although service was slower, when they did come over they were very nice and accommodating. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect with Eleven B and I was more than pleasantly surprised with my experience. The restaurant is small so make a reservation to guarantee a table. The feel is very rustic and has an old school charm. The restaurant is BYOB which is great especially for large parties or special celebrations. Service isn't rushed either so bring lots of alcohol and enjoy a long dinner and catch-up. The service was also great with the servers being attentive, friendly, even going to extra mile to keep our champagne on ice. The Italian food was also decent with a fair price range. A shared appetizer among four people and one entree each came out to $25 including tax and tip. All drinks were brought out from outside. read more

I've been to Eleven B a few times and the food was just as good as I remembered! This is the type of restaurant where you want to bring a big group of your loudest friends and have a party! It's BYOB with a small corkage fee, but honestly worth it. They bring you a bucket of ice for your wine - really excellent. This time I shared the cheesy garlic bread which is a hero stuffed with cheese and garlic (amazing.) I also shared the chicken parm and pizza, both of which were great and huge portions. The only downside to the restaurant in the service. While the owner was incredibly friendly and accommodating, I had to ask for the check countless time. Once we received the food, we never saw the waiter again. I will definitely return, but look for a less busy night! read more
