The Pizza is always fresh and Always on point! the food is also a must try like the chicken parm dinner is my go to and it's always perfect every time. The reason why its not 5 stars is because imo They do need to work on customer service and try not to make the customer feel rushed when they are ordering slices. Other than that i believe this place is overall worth it. read more

Food was tasty. However, this place would work better as take out only, as their staff is not properly trained on restaurant etiquette. First of all, the cutlery placed on the table was partially wet, not wrapped in napkins and placed directly on the dirty menus. We requested a cup of hot water to sanitize the cutlery. We had to ask about the water 4 times before it arrived. It arrived after the main dishes were served. We also heard the table next to us requesting cutlery after their food was served. We ordered 2 appetizers and the main courses came out first. We were half way through our main dishes when the first appetizer came. We finished our main dishes and the second appetizer never arrived. We had to cancel it. My husband asked for napkins and the waiter brought 2 for him only. We were a table of 5. We had to specify that we needed napkins for the entire table. They need to work on customer service and invest in training their staff, otherwise they will lose business. read more

have been going to galleria last few months as we live in south merrick and always looking for a better neighborhood delicious pizza/Italian restaurant . from the first time we ate there both waiters are super attentive , efficient and actually remembered exactly what we ordered after just one visit ! the food is fresh , plentiful and tasty , pizza is one of best around ( we travel with red door dash bag) for pizza , the owner always has smile on his face and seems truly engaged with each patron! it is a gem ! last nite we were asked if we wanted the usual , we just changed the topping on our pizza and when the other waiter brought it over bc it was right out of oven he said " you guys went with meatball and not sausage tonite?"! if in the mood for good quality family feeling good give them a try ! read more

Bone-in vodka veal chop. WOW! The waiter rubbed my belly like a Buddha after getting through about half of it. The atmosphere and people were fun and everything we had was incredible. Highly recommend and will stop here every time I am in Long Island. read more

Galleria - Bone-in Vodka Veal Chop - Pizza Near Me - Merrick, New York

Absolutely the best pizzeria restaurant in Merrick. We took chef Ciro's recommendations and it was incredible. We ordered Meat Balls with Ricotta Vodka Sauce, served in a skillet and it came out nice and hot. The Pizza Crust special was delicious with Hot Honey. The Spicy Rigatoni with Burrata and chicken cutlet was my favorite of the night. The Sorrentino was very good too. Always check out their daily specials! Don't forget to try Ciro's mom's dessert. There's a nice dinning room next to the pizzeria. read more

Stopped in to try a margarita pizza. Everything on the counter looked delicious. The sauce on the margarita was absolutely delicious. Only fault was the tiny thin paper plates they gave us to eat this thick saucy pizza read more

Incredible place, will definitely be coming back. Everything we got was amazing - the spicy vodka rigatoni, the chicken cutlet vodka and pesto hero, and our favorite was the chicken cutlet with vodka sauce in a huge garlic knot. Best garlic knot I've ever had! The owner Ciro was also so kind and welcoming. read more

Regular cheese pizza taste just like nyc dirty pizza! Love it!! Their garlic knots are also good too!! Great place to come if you are craving a NYC pizza without having to travel to NYC read more

Went in specifically for the pepperoni hot honey pizza. Slice was way overpriced, with no discernable cheese, sauce or even honey. There was only enough pepperoni to say that it was a pepperoni pizza. Very, very disappointed, and will never go back. Everything online is just hype, and the food looks nothing like what is presented online. read more

I must have passed Galleria Pizzeria a 100 times. Finally went in. Only had apps but they were all delicious. Had the stuffed artichoke and the chicken scarp wings. The wings were prob the best I have had. Loved the sauce they were in. They had a veal chop special tonight pounded thin on the bone with vodka sauce or red sauce. Looked awesome. Artichoke also excellent. Nice and garlicky ! read more

Sadly not the same restaurant I have dined at since I was a child. The new decor is nice but everything else is not what it was. Portions are smaller as are the ugly plates they serve the food on. Always a big fan of their Marsala dishes but they are not nearly as good as back a few years ago. Even the presentation is not as nice. Side of ordered spaghetti came with spaghetti and some ziti in the same bowl. Used to come with string beans as a side as well but now that is an up charge. Bread basket used to be much larger and great with pizza bread and garlic bread but no more. Servers are ok but not like the staff they had years prior. Owner is very nice and always smiling but as someone who has eaten here for 30 years or more it's just not the same and is sadly out of our rotation of regular places to dine. End of an era for us. read more

Gonna be honest, came here after seeing the viral giant garlic knot chicken cutlet sandwiches on tiktok, after seeing the restaurant was only 20 minutes away, decided to see why the hype was all about. first of all, the staff is so unorganized that it's scary. this place should not have a restaurant side if they're going to neglect it completely. should've just been a casual pizzeria. the pizza was straight up just not good. did not feel like i was eating quality long island pizza. we ordered the viral garlic knot sandwich and it was burnt. we couldn't even cut it in half because of how burnt they were on the bottom. the chicken was flavorless, and the "mozzarella" was very obviously poly-o and not fresh, but the vodka sauce on it was so good. would maybe order again but from uber eats and would probably only get pasta. read more

I'm a little confused with their BOGO Hero. promotion. I went at 6:30 pm to order four heros but was told that they had no more bread. How can you run a special and run out of all things bread. I like this place and go here all the time and are never disappointed. Today they really dropped the ball. The manager who I know wasn't in SF o I couldn't complain. Will go back but will take it up with him the next time I see him Very disappointed read more

Had some Red Wine ! Some Calamari ! Nice Salad and the service Was awesome! Highly recommended!

My favorite pizza spot on Long Island. Not only is this place so nostalgic for me because I grew up getting pizza here always, but it truly has the best food! Everything they make is so delicious and amazing. They have a beautiful sit down area and great for takeout. They also have been doing amazing new things like a giant veal chop parm (that was incredible!!) and recently the Korean BBQ pizza that was so AMAZING!! Changing the pizza game!!! Keep creating more new pizza!! It is a must place to go to when coming to Merrick! The owner is always so nice and welcoming and definitely worth a trip!! read more

Galleria - Korean bbq pizza - Pizza Near Me - Merrick, New York

I had to check back in to highly recommend Galleria ! Yesterday i had the Sicilian with pepperoni, corner slice of course . Let me start with the delicious tomatoe sauce !!! It tasted different than that on a regular slice , with a slight delicious sweetness . perfectly cooked with a crunchy crust . Properly filled with very tasty pepperoni ! i was eating it with such enthusiasm i didn't take a photo ! I can't wait to try all their slices ! That may be my 2024 new year's resolution ! Service as always excellent , very friendly and welcoming ! Ambiance ... local pizza / sit down vibe read more

What a great vodka slice! Some of these slices looked like works of art, like the one with the big mozzarella ball. Also, I love that they are using the pepperoni that cups itself therefore making it nice and crispy!! The young man behind the counter seems like an owner as he was very friendly and seemed to care to greet us. I was super impressed. Oh, I almost forgot to say it's very nicely renovated. A nice relaxing pizza place. read more

PJ was very nice. AMAZING FOOD!! Best place around. Especially pj, he's awesome. Favorite dude everrr.....

Food is decent at times it's not consistent. Pizza decent not the same as Elmont pizzerias. But to call them is HORRIBLE!! The phone is constantly busy o called 35xs today and still haven't got through therefore it's time to find another pizzeria read more

This is our local go to Italian spot for take out, but tonight was our first time dining in and i must say the hospitality and food was amazing. I saw the new menu items on instagram from devour power showing off the Spicy Rigatoni with Breaded Chicken Cutlet and a Burrata on top drizzled with Honey, and babyyyyyyyyy it was the bomb. We also had the Scarpariello Wings which was delicious and a wonderful Caesar Salad. Thank you to our server who was attentive and to the chef/owner for checking in on us and for the lovely dessert at the end. The hospitality, food and love was greatly appreciated. Yall check it out and we will be back soon. read more

Since the father, Tommy, passed away and the son has taken control of Galleria it is definitely not the same. They have kids working there as servers and are clueless. While otter restaurants have switched over completely, except regular pizza, to fresh mozzarella for there dinners he is still using commercial mozzarella. The renovations look great but the quality is not there. The sauce has become acidic and lost the smooth traditional tomato taste. Our family had been supporting it since the restaurant opened, around 30 years ago. Unfortunately we will not be any longer. read more

Been going to Galleria for over 40 years, the food is the best. Especially on Wednesday when they have PASTA NIGHT!

Just like fine wine, Galleria gets even better with age. My family and I been coming to this spot for years, seriously ever since I was little and it never disappoints. The interior aesthetic gives homey Italian villa and the food tastes just like your nonna made it. The menu has a huge selection of fresh pastas, homemade pizzas, and classic Italian favorites that will blow your mind. The farfelle alla enza, the caprese pizza, and their signature grilled chicken alla galleria to name a few. If you love Italian food and immaculate vibes, I highly recommend you check out Galleria immediately! read more

This place is amazing. I drive 45 minutes to get food from here. The pizza and pasta are all incredible.

I'd passed Galleria many times and finally stopped in a few nights ago. to say it was disappointing is an understatement. When I asked of they had any mushroom slices, I was told no, but they could add some to two plain slices. I said fine thinking they'd put them on the slices as they were reheated in the oven. instead, they just took some raw mushrooms and threw them on top when the slices came out. Then I asked for Come and was told that of the five flavors in the dispenser, they were out of Coke. all they had was Diet Coke (yecch), Sprite and something else. The pizza was OK, not awful but not even close to the level of Umberto's in New Hyde Park. The worst thing was that every table in the place was dirty. Each one I tried to sit at looked like it hadn't been cleaned all day. I went with the least filthy option. This place was overall pretty sucky. With all the pizzerias on Long Island, there are dozens of better options. I will continue to just pass by this place in the future. read more

I loooove this pizzeria. Best one in Merrick. Their service is impeccable and their pizza is amazing. Always fresh and warm. Highly recommend getting the vodka slice! read more

I have been here 2 different times, and have tried probably 8 different specialty slices they have. Each slice has been absolutely delicious. Everyone inside is extremely nice, prices are standard, but the quality overall is great. Would absolutely recommend trying this place. Having the buffalo cauliflower slice now, something i normally would never try, but am in love! read more

Galleria - Buffalo cauliflower slice - Pizza Near Me - Merrick, New York

Been coming Galeria for a long time now. Used to live in Queens and took the trip once in a while to dine in. Moved to Lindenhurst Long Island 2 years ago and still going to Galeria. Haven't been there since they renovated last year. Place looks good, more dine in space. Food is still spot on. Ordered plain and pepperoni slices for the kids along with mozzarella sticks and chicken wings. Kids loved them. Adults had the rice balls (you have to try these), corkscrew shrimp, shrimp scampi, and eggplant parm with baked zitti. All amazing. Service was fast considering how bussy the place was. read more

It seems that "post pandemic" the quality of the dining room food has significantly declined. Even the bread they serve is terrible. So sorry, had always looked forward to dinner there in the past with the family in their crowded dining room. Not at all the same now including the crowd. HOWEVER, the pizza is the best in the neighborhood with the Grandma being my favorite. That is what all is the stars are for. read more

So - yet another pizzeria on Long Island - a dime a dozen, no? Not this place. How lucky is my family that we are a mere blocks away from some of the best examples of real NY pizza. My 7 year old son and I even make it a point to travel around the island and try pizza and garlic knots whenever we can. It's kind of our "bonding thing". We even submitted an application to be the "Chief Pizza Officers" for a recent contest. and you know what - every time, we have to compare the others to Galleria. They just do not match up. Ciro, the owner, inherited the place from his late father, who put the place on the map. Ciro, trying to make his mark, as well, has recently (this summer) renovated the entire restaurant - from quick slice seating on one side to the well laid out tables for a nice sit down meal on the other. Ciro has experimented with a wide variety of innovative slices - as well as a fantastic selection of traditional menu staples. The customer service - second to none - when you're there - you are treated like family. During the pandemic (and since) Ciro worked with us to create a few fund raising events for the local elementary school PTA. He CARES about the community. For the best pizza and garlic knots - crowned the best by my son (and me) ... you OWE it to yourself to grab a slice or a sit down dinner at GALLERIA of Merrick. read more

Hands down the best pizzeria in the general area if not across Nassau. Really good pizza but where they shine is specialty pizzas especially anything made with the vodka sauce and sweet/spicy pepperoni. Plus staff is always so accommodating for orders. With the density of pizzerias in the area, Galleria stands out read more

Amazing neighborhood pizzeria! Service is excellent, and a Family Favorite! Definitely try the Rigatoni Con Pollo Grigliata, it's our favorite Signature Pasta dish. Extensive menu with so many delicious dishes to choose from. read more

I'm actually sad to write this, but I was sitting in the restaurant - seated with a friend - waiting for 25 minutes or more. We were patiently waiting for our waiter to come and take our orders, and we understand how busy it was, but on the down side... he took that long to come over to us and tell us that if all we're going to buy is pizza then he has no time to look at what pizzas are available. I understand it was super busy but it takes two seconds to just look over to see. Me and my friend wanted a couple of pizzas for our order in the meantime however I was going to add something towards the middle of our stay and a possible dessert. It has always been my favorite spot for pizza and it still is, just disappointing - s'all. I appreciate the owner and his authenticity though! The waiter's approach was very nonchalant and just passive - like he was happy to take our menu away. It was a bit odd. read more

Food was very good and tasty but the reason for 3 stars is the service in the dining room. I will likely never dine there again and will just stick to takeout. The waiters seem inexperienced and leave tables hanging for a while. Our waiter took a water jug off another table and poured our water with it (never seen that in a restaurant before). Waiter did not seem familiar with the menu either. Overall food was good but like I said, I'd stick to take out. read more

Are these guys actually serious ? I have been coming to galleria for the past 15 years or more and I have not felt any disrespect until the last few years. Your main counter worker has absolutely no personable skills whatsoever and treats customers like garbage in restaurant standards. Every single time I try and give these guys a chance they absolutely BLOW it ! I don't care how decent the pizza is , it's overpriced , and the staff has a horrible attitude towards ALL customer. If you don't believe me go check it out for yourself. read more

Where to start the customer service was horrible when we walked in.. after looking through menu and figuring out what we wanted we ordered and waited patiently order consisted of two pasta dishes total wait was estimated at 20 mins which we didn't mind.. 35 mins in we ask and no one knows what we're talking about and no clue about order. One employee decides to check the back , comes to front counter and doesn't even acknowledge us second counter person comes up to inform us we have no more ravioli do you want something else.. will not be returning back was completely disgusted by the customer service! The employees need new management their all lost! read more

Another great dinner at Galleria. Service is great never rushed. Food is delicious. Generous servings, always some left-overs to take home. A small local restaurant, like a Billy Joel song. read more

Their vodka sauce, margarita & white cheese with mushroom & spinach slices are delicious. The owner & workers are very kind.

Such a solid place to grab some great dishes. Everything is so fresh and flavorful! The owner is nice, involved, and helpful with picking menu items. I went with Fettuccine con crema de Pistacchio and it did not disappoint! And the serving was HUGE! I could have easily shared this plate...but I didn't. Definitely get the house made garlic knots - you won't be sorry! read more
