New Yorkers are picky about pizza, but for us out-of-towners, any pizza here is probably better than pizza we get at "home". Forest Ave is no different. It operates a lot like most places where you can go in, select from their myriad of slice options, and they heat it up in the oven where it gets a nice, crispy bottom. I'm assuming you can order pizza pies to go as well, but for lunch and "by the slice" options, this place was pretty good. Staff was friendly and the pizza was good. The slices look bigger on the plate than they do behind the counter, so you might regret getting 2 slices! read more

I stop here anytime I'm in the area. The caesar salad with grilled chicken and grilled shrimp never disappoints. They also give a complimentary piece of bread which is always warm and soft. read more

Forest Ave Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Glen Cove, New York

Pizza selection & assortment was good, had the ziti slice. It was very good, not too much sauce or cheese. The ziti was plenty and heated up well. The inly issue was one person put it in oven to re-heat and then he got busy & never took my slice out until someone else looked in oven & saw it. So it was too hot to eat & I had to watch the time. Other than that as this was my first time there, I saw a lot of people coming in and out, so will definitely be back. I did ask for a Sicilian slice to be cut into bite size pieces as I was bringing it to someone at nearby rehab. He cut it up perfectly, so really appreciated that read more

I was in the neighborhood with my significant other and we came across this pizzeria. It looked super fancy in the outside so we came in hoping for some yummy pizza and that's what we got. I had a square slice and my boyfriend had the eggplant parm slice and the chicken and broccoli slice. We enjoyed our slices very much. The mozzarella sticks were terrible, worse than those that are microwaveable but the pepperoni bite size rolls were really good, I like how crunchy it was and not so oily. read more

Pizza was great...other food wasn't...we had calamari, baked clams, garlic knots, chicken wings..recommend the pizza.

My family switches from Vito's to here. Because we all like the simpler, mellower, less greasy and thinner cheese pizza here. The dinning area seems always clean neat and spacious. The lady behind the cashier was nice when I went to pickup my pie. read more

I've been eating this pizza for 25 plus years and I am sad to say that after the last 4 times, I'm officially done. I ordered a regular cheese pie on a Friday night. I got there and it was ready on time. I was charged $20.85 (cash) for cold cardboard, full of cheap cheese that was dripping with grease. The sauce was too sweet and it hurt my teeth to chew. It's gotten worse each time, yet I went back for the familiar faces, hoping it was an off night. Sadly, it was not. Just another place cutting corners and raising prices. I gave it 2 stars for the food being on time and for the free garlic knots that became my dinner. I'm sorry Forest, I want a divorce. read more

Great pizza. Great staff. These guys have been nailing pizza for years and years. Some fool walked out and left a bad review because the staff changed the tv channel in their own business. I just wanted to report that the quality of the food was not affected by the tv. read more

Good pizza, terrible politics. Stopped in with my partner on the way home from Downtown Sounds, ordered some slices, and everything was good until one of the workers from behind the counter switched the TV channel from the Olympics opening ceremonies to FOX NEWS, where they were broadcasting Mango Mussolini at his Turning Point USA rally. We left and we will take our business elsewhere from now on. Stupid move on the owner's part. Tell your friends. read more

This is arguably my favorite pizzeria in the glen cove area. in addition to great pizza, they also have a better interior environment, making it more suitable for a relaxed 'dinner feel' than other fast-food style pizzerias. like most king island pizza, the crust is thin snd a but on the floppy side (which I'm totally fine with). read more

I live in Glen Cove and tried every pizza place in town. This place has the best pizza in the neighborhood. There is no other Pizzaria that comes close. In addition, the interior is clean and beautiful, the pizza moves fast so it's fresh and the counter people are very nice. They are the best, hands down!!!!! read more

Once upon a time when you walked into a pizzeria & heard the chefs speak Italian you were sure that the sauce was made from fresh tomatoes and garlic. The pizza was good if not Great! It's Not the same scene anymore. The next generation is all about the bottom line. Everything is purchased in bulk. The dough is mostly Frozen. The sauce comes from a can. Even the Ricotta and Mozzarella are sub standard. All this is a recipe for a huge slices-genormous portions but below average Pizza and everything else. The white spinach pizza today was simply awful!! read more

this is decent NY Pizza, but your socks will stay on. a little too much cheese, slightly floppy crust, and light sauce. But it beats Dominoes and most everything West of Jersey by a mile. read more

Personal califlower crust pizza with a sausage topping was $14. I believe a typical personal pizza is $8.50, but the extra $5.50 was from the topping and the specialty of the califlower crust, a little expensive by handmade fresh to order by Italian chefs! read more

Forest Pizza food is excellent. The person who delivered did not call, text or knock when they arrived so the food sat outside until I was like "where's the food" and it was barely warm. read more

Pizza / Pasta Wow- I was totally in need of something to suck up the remnants of the day out with the gang and it was getting a little late - Forest Pizza to the rescue! Great pizza that was the perfect end to a great day out! Big area to eat dinner there if you desire - I had takeout so not sure if they had waiter service or not. Parking lot. read more

When in Glenn Cove visit elsewhere. Forest Pizza is a nice enough restaurant laid-out with what seemed like there was no plan. Beverage refrigerators opportunistically placed and no thought was given it seems to what the customer would experience. Too bad because otherwise the space is nicely renovated with warm earth tones. Upon my entering from the parking lot, there was no indication of whether is was your run-of-the-mill self-service pizza joints (it was) or if there was table-side service (there wasn't). The two folks behind the counter seemed to me as though they were the owners. They seemed uninterested and aloof and were successful despite themselves. I must have been sitting at the table at least ten minutes before I got up to ask whether or not there was any wait staff (I made eye contact with the folks behind the coutner several times) but not before I was first asked to give them a minute. Next to where we sat ourselves was an unbussed table. We placed our order and waited patiently all the while staring a the unbussed table wondering when it would be cleaned. Alas our order of a large pie with half sausage and a side order of sauteed broccoli rabe was ready for us to pickup from the counter. While ambiance and hospitality are important when I provide my opinion on restaurants I'm mostly concerned with the food (despite that I barely mentioned the food yet). So here I go: the pizza was horrible in my humble opinion. The ingredients were low-grade, the crust was way too thick and bready and while sometimes I like thick pizza the crust didn't taste good. Moreover, the out-of-the-can sauce and ordinary sausage didn't help the experience. Both were just low-cost and low grade. The sauteed rabe was half-cooked, clearly not blanched, tasted too bittler and seemed that it was quickly thrown together last minute rather than properly cooked. The only redeeming quality was that they didn't charge us much lending to the old adage tha you get what you pay for. The last time I had similar pizza it was at some gritty NYC neighborhood--the type that movies are made of (think "Fort Apache: The Bronx"). So if they ever decide to do a screenplay about Forest City Pizza I propose they call it "Low quality, lack of service and low price: a recipe for disaster". read more

We're from Cleveland & my hubby is Italian from NY and he LOVES this PIZZA!!!! We order every time we come to visit!!!!! Delicious. Out of this world!!!!! read more

Their food and their service is great! We specified that our order was for someone who's pregnant and you can tell that they put extra love and care into our order! We really appreciated that! And of course, we enjoyed our food haha read more

Eh, not as good as Delicious (okay, I have no idea what their new name is, if they even have one, but the boys at Delicious are like family to me) BUT these were the only guys that were open right after Sandy hit - and they literally worked themselves to exhaustion, feeding everyone as quickly as they could, until they ran out of the food. oh, the pizza was okay too. The food...I feel like I can't really fairly judge their cooking after the hurricane of that kind of destruction, so I'll have to go back, but their work ethic, service, and compassion for their community gives them 4 stars to ME. and obviously, my opinion is what counts. read more

Always love the pizza there! Just wished they delivered! Everything is always perfect and the owners are nice. They always greet you right away. read more

I really enjoy this pizza place. I don't usually eat anywhere else except the Pizza places in Brooklyn, Brooklyn pizza is the best. But since I live right next to this place and I order from here all the time they are really good. The staff is nice and always greets me, very kind and friendly. The place is very clean and looks beautiful. Very good food! read more

Best thing about this place is the HUGE PIZZA slices. AND THEY DON"T FALL APART! aka Awesome crust. I tried the linguine with white clam sauce. I really liked it. You should try it. Definitely a must. This place was open during hurricane Irene. Thank goodness. read more

I had great experience here. Sicilian slice was perfect- just how I like my pizza and the plain slices were just the right amount of doughy and not too saucy. Tortellini soup was a big serving size- it took me and my boyfriend to work on finishing it. Tasted great, the staff there knew my boyfriend as a long time customer and they were extremely friendly and very pleasant. I'll definitely come back! read more

OK so i have been eating here for almost 30 years !! Best buffalo wings anywhere Best Sicilian Pizza in Glen Cove Best Pepperoni Bites Best Panini Bread in Glen Cove read more

Amazing Grandma's Pizza, and the sides are also underrated. Nice folks, great food, and very quick service.

Unfriendly place. I seldom order a pizza pie here and sometimes the quality is meh but the customer service is always quite bad. The other week, we ordered $45 worth of food and one of the pies had a piece of a STEEL BRISTLE BRUSH on one the pizza slices which my mom had just ingested. I called the pizzeria and was received with minimal empathy - "Oh, that's good she didn't choke or have any problems" ... they decided to compensate with -2 slices any topping next time you come in- and were not budging on anything including a refund. A week later, I show up and another gentleman at the counter actually had the nerve to ask for physical proof of the steel bristle. He gave me the pizza begrudgingly but it must have been from overnight because it was dry and the crust was rough. Pretty bad over all, giving customers an air that they really don't need their business. read more

This is probably my favorite pizzeria in Glen Cove so far. They have a very nice selection of stuff. Their coupons are great. For $20 you can get a plain pie, wings, and garlic knots. You have to dip the wings in the buffalo sauce, as they come plain but I don't mind. I also really like their Sicilian and Grandma slices. read more

According to my husband they make the best buffalo wings in Glen Cove . I like the Sicilian pizza.

This place was my childhood staple and continues to serve excellent pizza. (Beating out most of the NYC places I've tried since moving.) The owners operate the establishment and are always friendly, attentive, and considerate. I had not visited in a long time but they remembered my family and were genuinely concerned about them and their wellbeing. They gave my mom free garlic knots. Wonderful family centered business. I will be a patron for many years to come. read more

My issue with Forest Pizza is that the meatballs are grey inside. I have ordered them several times but they do not add enough beef to them.

Best pizza place in Glen Cove hands down. It's the only one I go to. The chicken rolls are perfect. Get two sauces on the side, they usually only give one! read more
