    Spicy Rigatoni Burrata
    Cristina J.

    First time eating in and it was absolutely delicious! I'm super picky with Italian food. My mom's food usually wins over anyone else's :) lol but anywho this place was delicious the fried buratta and the pistachio fettuccine were different and super tasty. The service was very friendly and helpful. I wish they had some Italian music playing as they had some bachata music playing instead lol my only complaint is NO DESSERT MENU!! Whyyyy???

    Chicken Delizioso hero
    Danielle A.

    Galleria is perfect for a casual weekday lunch which is exactly what we had here. Upon entering it's a typical pizzeria. There is a separate section for table service. It was a bit awkward because we weren't greeted or directed to sit anywhere in particular so we just seated ourselves. After a minute or two, a waiter came over and gave us menus. We decided on the Chicken Delizioso hero and the Vodka chicken slider which is served on a giant garlic knot. The food came out fairly quickly. It was pretty decent. We also ordered a margarita slice to split and I have to say that was quite delicious. They have a vast variety of slices to choose from both round and Sicilian. I do recommend!

    Philly Cheesesteak Hero
    Amirah W.

    Overall rating: Actually way above the scale, 12/10! Attended 06/15/2025, So picture this, it's Father's Day and I've lost my father one year to date. I have spent the day at the cemetery with my family. For months we've been meaning to stop in over here and today is a day more than ever that I need comfort food. As it goes with viral restaurants you hope to receive the allure and experience as it seems from the media you consume. Let me tell you, the feeling of family radiates from every inch of this place and every member of the staff. Ciro is genuinely a lovely chef/owner with a ton of heart. Without even knowing the hardship my family and I came in there with, he and the two young servers that assisted us today were so gracious, warm, & kind. I'm beyond thankful. For eats we had: Fried Calamari- which had such a beautifully seasoned unique breading. Great portion. Mussels Bianco- automatic win for seafood lovers, be sure to scoop up the sauce, large quantity! Spicy Rigatoni Burrata- WOAH okay, this is next damn level. Next LEVELLLL!!! All dishes are large enough to share, this though, is so good you may not want to share haha. Cheesesteak- I know it's considered a Philly but I'm petitioning to change it to Ciro's Cheesesteak LOL it's just too good to be compared to Philly. That luscious steak, cheese with the seeded bread!!! I couldn't get enough. Tortellini Alfredo- Absolutely bussin', more understated than the rest but the real know that if the flavor is right, it don't need all the bells and whistles. Sausage and Peppers Hero- A classic by all means elevated to another level by the personal touch of Galleria. We also had a few cheese slices and a grandma slice- which were perfectly crispy and delicious! Pricing was beyond fair, everything we had was more than delectable, literally no complaints. Bonus! We were gifted these lovely layered mason jars that we ate when we got home, S'mores & Reese's flavors. I am normally not a sweets person and this was THE BOMB DOT COM. I would actually crave these. Big thank you to Ciro & staff! Happy Father's Day to all the fathers. Ciro you carry your family legacy with pride and it shows in your food. All reading this review- go check them out!

    Vodka Slider
    Danielle J.

    Very clean restaurant with an old school pizzeria vibe when you walk in, with the booths on the side, but no menu over the oven. Paper menus are given & orders are taken at the front whether you are dinning in the restaurant area or not. The food was brought out to up nice & hot, the burrata pepperoni slice was delicious. For the main reason I came to this place, the vodka sliders.. they are huge, get one! Solid garlic knot & chicken cutlet, but I would have like a little more salt. Overall great meal if in the area.

    Korean bbq chicken
    Heily P.

    Great food and customer service so a 10/10. I had ordered in the past and always enjoyed my food but had never been to the actual store until yesterday. Got a vodka burrata slice and a Korean chicken slice. The vodka slice was delicious!!! I got another to go for later. The Korean slice was a little salty for me but had great flavor. I also for a vodka chicken parm sandwich to go and it was also really good. I think I found my new place!!!

    Chicken Parmigiana and Farfale
    Vivian L.

    Best chicken parm I've had in my entire life! The farfalle and perfectly al dente. We had incredible service! I've definitely got to come back and try more!

    John J.

    Came here once and now it's a must go often place. I ordered a couple of things. I enjoyed the garlic knots. Soft and garlicky. The thing that I would like to talk about most of their giant garlic knot chicken Ala vodka sandwich. This sandwich was delicious. I have been telling friends how great it was. Service was fairly fast and was nice. Place was a decent size as you can get your family in for dinners. Nice and clean place. Well be my go to place when I'm around the area.

    Omg. Can you even go here without getting that amazing vodka chicken parm hero? Don't think so. Once you try that, I challenge you to return without ordering it every time. Though, I'd like to return and try the chicken Sorrentino. It's my fave.... Maybe I've found a place that'll turn it into a hero as my local spot that used to do a special order for me had closed during the covids.

    Aside from this place being absolutely amazing. I'll tell you a story. We ordered take out. They missed some orders on our take out order. But the owner himself called me and refunded the entire thing. Now the money doesn't mean anything don't think this review is about that. It's the service they provide. He didn't have to do that but he did. Aside from their food and ambience here being amazing, I truly believe in great customer service and that's what Ciro provided me with. Amazing food as always. Thank you again to this establishment. It speaks volumes to his character.

    Fettuccine Alfredo
    Susan M.

    Party of 3 arrived and we were able to sit. There's ample seating on the side. Service was quick and attentive. Servers are young. Food was amazing! I found out about this spot through tik tok and tried the chicken in garlic bread. I was told it was small for me that happily could have been my meal. It is hearty. We tried three different pastas and they were all delicious

    Baby side Caesar salad and 1/2 Dozen Garlic Knots
    Jackie O.

    Excellent food! Ingredients are top notch and remind me of Italy honestly! Service is very good. Lots of young staff waiting on tables. Ambiance is nice just like a regular pizza place! Absolutely delicious! A must try if in Merrick

    Danielle A.

    This is a great little Italian spot in Merrick. My boyfriend found them through a viral tiktok and knew we had to try them. The service is super fast and friendly, which I really appreciated because they were busy even at 1pm on a Saturday. However, the food still came out fast and was delicious. Also, the portions are huge. My boyfriend and I were in a food coma after our lunch! Do note that even if something is not on the menu, they can make it for you!!

    Garlic Knot chicken vodka slider
    Guadalupe E.

    I went to Galeria Ristorante in Merrick after seeing a TikTok video featuring their garlic knot sliders with chicken cutlets in vodka sauce. I was genuinely excited, expecting hot, fresh, made-to-order sliders like in the video. When I got there, the sliders were pre-prepared and then reheated, and unfortunately, they weren't even heated all the way through. The chicken cutlet lacked crispiness, and the vodka sauce, which could have been a standout, was totally overpowered by an excessive amount of hot honey. The balance of flavors was completely off, and for $11, the sizes weren't consistent either. Honestly, if these were made to order hot, crispy, with a balanced sauce to honey ratio, they could easily be a 10/10. Instead, they tasted pre-made and disappointing. I'm giving it a 5/10. I left feeling frustrated. I went in excited and left wishing I'd gone somewhere else.

    Did the ownership Change at Galleria Pizza in Merrick? Its def not the same, and I mean it like, I'll probably never go back.

I understand that not every place is child-friendly, but this is a pizza place! We are excited to introduce our kids to a variety of cuisines from a young age, and we thought pizza would be a good choice. They aren't chicken fingers and fries kinda kids . The food was decent; I wouldn't go as far as to say it was the best pizza I've ever had. However, the meal was overshadowed by the hostess's attitude. Throughout our visit, she kept glaring at us every time one of the kids made even the slightest noise. It felt incredibly unwelcoming. To make matters worse, they do not provide high chairs. When we mentioned that we'd still like to stay despite that, since our one-year-old can sit in a regular chair, it felt like a battle just to get one. It was clear that the hostess was eager for us to leave. Our meal felt rushed, as if we were being timed on how quickly we could eat. Her continual glares were uncomfortable, especially since we were seated right next to the hostess stand. It's unfortunate how much a bad hostess can negatively impact a dining experience. I genuinely hope the management realizes this and considers better training for their staff. Overall, this experience made it clear to me that I won't be returning. They really need to work on creating a welcoming environment for families. Especially because of the town they are located in.

Better light than too much but good to know for the people that might get freaked out. Pizza is thin so that's a plus! Crust not chewy and fluffy but is smaller than others so I guess that is fine since we get more toppings? It's similar to how we make neapolitan to maximize the middle even though we practiced to master the fluffy chew. My favorite pie is their mushroom. The balance of mushrooms, cheese and flavor is perfect. Pasta was not snapy but that might be because we did take out Brussels sprouts were also taken to go and surprisingly remained crispy! You can tell it's deep fried by the amount of oil immersed in each bite you take. Overall for the surprisingly reasonable price they charge (~$15 a pie), it's worth it to not make it at home.
