Ordered a pie and a sausage and pepper hero and I was very happy with it. The pizza was very good, not dripping with oil. The hero was outstanding as well. Since it was a delivery, I can't really comment on the place itself but hope to drop by sometime soon!
From every visit I've had at Galleria this place deserves nothing less than 5 stars. Best pizza in LI imo, but possibly I've ever had and I've had lots of good pizza in Queens and BK
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???
5/14/26 - We planted our garden today, and in no way were we cooking. Nor did I want to clean anything up, so we went a few blocks away on a Friday night. It was packed. The owner, Ciro, who took over when his dad died, has done a great job with the place. Changing the dining room table layout made the ambiance even nicer than before. And they just got brand new pizza ovens. Each of the 3 waiters, including our main one, PJ, worked perfectly in tandem. They'll make anything for you, even if it's not on the menu, which is reason enough to go. They now offer a choice of salads included with most entrees. Hubby got the garden salad, and I got the Caesar salad. Both so good. I could have gone home satisfied with just that. But no. I got rigatoni with sausage and rapini. I had 3 delicious bites before I couldn't eat anymore. Husband got a Fettuccine dish with a side of meatballs. I honestly like my meatballs dry and these were moist. I'm weird that way and it wasn't my meal so no harm, no foul. When we left, the line was almost out the door for counter service and all tables were filled. That should tell you a lot. We're so happy Galleria is our local restaurant.
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!
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!
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.
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!!!
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!
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.
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

Galleria of Merrick is a solid Italian spot with a really nice ambiance and, most importantly, very good food. Everything we ordered was flavorful, well prepared, and definitely the highlight of the experience. The atmosphere makes it a nice choice for dinner whether it's a date night or just a good meal out. The service was a little lackluster and could have been more attentive, but nothing that completely took away from the night. Overall, the quality of the food made up for it and I'd still come back. Worth checking out if you're looking for good Italian food in Merrick. read more

Galleria in Merrick has street parking available, which wasn't too bad since we went later in the evening and there weren't many cars on the road. When you walk inside, there's a pizzeria section up front and then a separate dining area in the back where you can sit down and be served. It feels more like a restaurant in that section, with waiters assisting the tables. The service was definitely a highlight of the visit. The staff were all great, and we were helped by Joey, who was very nice and very accommodating throughout the meal. The first thing brought to the table was the bread, which was similar to garlic bread. It had a good amount of garlic and salt and was honestly one of the most flavorful things we had that night. For our meals, I ordered the Caesar salad and the vodka slider, which is basically a large garlic knot filled with vodka sauce, Mike's Hot Honey chicken, and mozzarella cheese. My daughter ordered the kids' baked ziti, and my man ordered the grilled chicken hero with balsamic vinegar and peppers. While everything was good, the overall flavor was a bit more subtle than expected. The vodka slider sounded amazing on paper and looked great online, but it didn't quite have the "wow" factor I was expecting. It was good, just not very heavily seasoned. My daughter enjoyed the baked ziti because it had a lot of cheese, but it also could have used a little more salt. The chicken hero with balsamic and peppers was decent as well solid, but nothing that really stood out flavor-wise. Overall, I wouldn't say I wouldn't go back. I'd probably try a few other items on the menu next time. I think my expectations were just a little high from seeing all the Instagram posts, so I was expecting a bit more flavor than what we received. read more
I stopped by Galleria recently and had their chicken sandwich with peppers and mozzarella. I'll be honest...I'm not really a peppers kind of guy, so I took those off pretty quickly. But once I did... oh my God, the sandwich was actually really good. It wasn't the most flavorful sandwich I've ever had, but it was definitely filling and easily covered my protein needs for the day. The restaurant itself is very tidy and neat. The vibe is interesting. It feels like a pizzeria, but at the same time it has a bit of an Olive Garden-style atmosphere. It gives off the impression of being a small, family-run place, which I personally liked. Service was prompt and pleasant, and the waitstaff were very nice and welcoming. Overall it was a solid experience and a nice spot if you're looking for a satisfying meal in a clean, friendly environment. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

I had high hopes after hearing great things but Unfortunately, the delivery order left me underwhelmed. I ordered the chicken parm dinner with a side of pesto rigatoni and a side salad. The salad came in what looked like a 2 oz container--barely three bites. Honestly, why even offer it as a menu item? The chicken parm was disappointing: barely any cheese and a mushy texture. The sauce was solid, and the pasta tasted good, but the portions were small. The real kicker? No bread included with the dinner. How do you serve an Italian entrée without bread? I wanted to like it, but this was a one-and-done experience. read more

Where to start?? Everything from the service to the inside or the place is perfect. The food is out of this world. I mean literally i have never had food this good. It is not of this planet lol. You are missing out big time if you don't eat here. read more

The pizza is okay; crust is a bit thicker than usual. And this is peculiar to me because their slices are about the smallest I've ever seen. Keep charging more and now shrink your product...not nice practice. Check out my photo which shows that my hand is about the size of a slice of their large pizza. I mean, obviously we New Yorkers do not like to patronize chain pizza shops like Domino's, but the galleria clearly has started to make their slices and pies the size of those tiny ones. read more

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.
The owner, who passed away a year or so ago, left the restaurant in his son's very capable hands. They had a full redo of the inside and decor. The menu has certainly been expanded as has the way they reach out on social media, fundraisers with the…
