Living in downtown Manhattan, we have endless options when it comes to Italian food, but for our Super Bowl party we decided to try Il Mattone for the first time -- and wow, were we impressed. We ordered several pies, and every one arrived hot, cheesy, and absolutely delicious. I was thrilled to discover such a fantastic gem right in our area. A few weeks later, I ordered entrees when friends came over, and again the meals were outstanding and very reasonably priced. Last night, my husband and I tried the Chicken Parm and Chicken Marsala. He loved the parm, which secretly made me happy because it meant I didn't have to share the Marsala! Everything was beautifully cooked and full of flavor. Il Mattone has officially become our go-to spot. Living in a large complex in Battery Park, I've been recommending them to everyone -- although many people already seem to know how great they are. Looking forward to many more exceptional meals from Il Mattone! read more

Terrific neighborhood pizzeria that is currently a little hidden by scaffolding on a relatively quiet street in Tribeca. Solid pizza slices and great lunch specials that change each week. Especially like the Chicken Parm with Pasta which I have had a number of times. Friendly, efficient service. Worth finding! read more

Food: classic italian american. Hits the spot. Service: quick and easy. Ambiance: smells amazing and no frills. Respect. read more

Consistently good and reliable. Wish there was proper seating but this place is great for takeout lunch or for foods for events. Best vodka slice and vodka chicken parm sandwich. Service is friendly and kind. read more

3.5 stars. Totally acceptable slice of pizza. A slice of cheese is $3. You won't be blown away, but it's good enough, especially if you are on a budget. I'd eat it again. read more

I came here in a Tuesday Afternoon since this is the closest pizza place to Pier 25. Not sure if it was end of day or what but the pizza was average. I didn't even tasted the sauce. I did like the cheweness of the crust. The guy at the counter was curt and not too friendly. There is no space to sit. The chicken parm smelled good though. The lunch special menu looks good but I came around 6pm and the dishes were $18 instead of $12. read more

This spot is OFFICIAL! Definitely a Tribeca gem iykyk. Small but beautiful inside old New York vibes. Little Tv mounted above the prep station playing baseball. Wooden floors. No non sense staff. The chicken parm looks scrumptious. Made me kinda wish I ordered something else. read more

Il Mattone - Plain slice with a coke - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

So I was downtown and I needed a quick bite and my homie Mel from Bubbys told me about this spot. He said their Pizza is official.. So in NYC that means something.. So off I went to Il Mattone. I looked at their Pizzas on the counter and it did look official. So I copped me a slice.. And I must say.. This spot is a hidden gem down in this Tribecca neighborhood. I eat a lot of pizza and let me tell you... This spot will not disappoint! I mean I had to order another slice! That's how you know if a pizza is good. The slice had the perfect cheese to sauce ratio. The crust was crispy which I love. The sauce flavor was perfect. I could definitely taste a bit of oregano. But not overwhelming at all. It was so good. You can order slices, pies and they have other plates you can order. Service was good. It's a Pizza shop. Guys were super cool. It's a small spot so not much going on other than orders being taken and they have one 2 seater table.. It definitely came in handy as I sat down and enjoyed my 2 delicious Cheese slices. So if you're in the Tribeca neighborhood and you are craving some pizza, this will definitely do the job! Definitely will not disappoint. Will grab yourself a slice or something down here. Have a great one everyone ! read more

Amazing pizza and Sicilian. Their chicken Milanese sandwich is so good and a large enough to share . Don't leave without taking home a portion of chicken/spinach lasagna with vodka sauce - so good!!! read more

Il Matone serves up an amazing thin and crispy New York slice. There's a lot of construction scaffolding near the entrance, so it's kind of easy to miss if you're just walking by. The slices are well balanced with melty cheese and flavorful toppings. These slices have no flop. If you like your pizza thin and crispy, stop here for a slice or two. There's not really anywhere to sit, but eating a slice on the sidewalk adds to the New York experience. read more

Il Mattone - Pepperoni - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

This was one of the best chicken parm vodka sandwiches we've ever had. I loved that it had a perfect amount of sauce ratio where it was dripping all over me but plenty for the sandwich and you could still taste the flavors of the cutlet. It's a to go place just fyi. read more

Il Mattone - Chicken Cutlet and Vodka Sauce sandwich - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Not a huge pizza fanatic, unlike dh, but we drove allllll the way down here to try the pizza on a recommendation of a friend. It's a small, old-school pizza shop with NO lighted sineage and a handwritten menu board. The staff was friendly, New York friendly, so if you are from outside of the tri-state area, suck it up, Buttercup. Dh got a Sicilian and a slice. I opted for the Hawaiian. (YES, PINEAPPLES BELONG ON PIZZA!) Husband loved his pizza and is raving on his yelp as I type this. Personally, I've had better Hawaiian, but what I did love was the quality of the crust. The pizza crust was firm without being too hard to execute a proper New York pizza fold. It also held its form and didn't flop (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially with a piping hot cheese pizza) The pineapple on this slice was obviously canned, and it wasn't grill charred like you can do with fresh pineapple slices. Because of dh, I know we will be back, so I'll try a basic traditional pepperoni or plain cheese slice and try it. I'll give it 3 because Hawaiian pizza isn't as easy to pull off, but the crust was good, and it tasted good if you don't know what a Hawaiian is supposed to taste like. read more

Nestled away in Tribeca really good reliable spot, also on Too Good To Go they give a lot of slices! Very nice staff/owners, give my dog pepperoni slices when we walk by read more

Fantastic pizza joint with great service. Wife and I were in the neighborhood and stopped by to grab lunch. She got the vodka slice and I got a regular slice and they were fantastic. We also split a sausage roll and loved it. On top of that, the service was great and the prices were awesome. Will definitely be back read more

This place really hits the spot! It is real small but has amazing food. Came here to get some lasagna and it was delicious. Friend got the lobster ravioli and said it was good too. I would like to come back to try the pizza. Everything is very reasonably priced. read more

The next day we ordered a pie with a grubhub delivery. First off they delivered it way quicker than I could have walked there and back. Next, it was nice and hot. Well worth whatever it cost. The pizza itself was awesome. Tons of cheese, sauce and sausage. They did a nice job on the pizza. I highly recommend this pizza shop. Very consistent. Good yesterday and good today. read more

Il Mattone - Store Front - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

A literal hole in the wall you might miss with all of the scaffolding. Today I was craving an old school ny slice for lunch and il mattone hit the spot. Some tips: if you use credit there's a 4 percent surcharge. A slice is $3 cash. There's literally one chair and one table if you plan to eat there. They offer $10 and $14 lunch specials which in Tribeca is quite the deal. I'll be back. read more

Il Mattone - Slice of pizza - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Small intimate, old style pizza joint. Limited seating is available on the outside of the restaurant. Courteous staff. They make sure you have everything you need before leaving. I ordered a regular slice and a slice of Sicilian. They offer the standard selection of drinks, Coke, Pepsi, Root Beer, etc. The pizza was delicious, consisting of the right balance of sauce and cheese. The crust wasn't greasy or floppy. I definitely will return. read more

My boyfriend and I have been on the hunt for the best pizza in NYC for a couple months now. We've been to Soho. We've been to East Village. But did I ever expect to (potentially) find NYC's best slice in Tribeca?? The food: y'all the pizza is AMAZING. As with many places in NYC, you pick what you want from the counter and it gets toasted fresh in a matter of minutes. We decided to get a slice of the bacon pepperoni pizza to split, and it was revolutionary. The cheese pull was divine. The crust was CRISPY. They didn't skimp on the meat, and there was more than enough bacon and pepperoni to go around. Everything about this pizza just made sense. The only way I can describe it is like the best pizza dream you've ever had come to life. The atmosphere: this is the type of hole-in-the-wall place where you *know* the food is going to be good. There's a single table and chair inside, in case you want to sit down (but most people take their slices to go). There's some garlic and red pepper flakes on the side too, in a little self-serve station by the door. TLDR: If you're in Tribeca, Il Mattone is a must visit. This pizza joint is truly a gem, and one of the best kept secrets in NYC. read more

Looks closed from the outside, but it's a lie! It's actually open !!! Yummy pizza, highly recommend!

No frills, old school pizza and calzones joint. The staff is efficient and friendly and the food comes out hot and delicious. Try some of the specials and you won't be disappointed. read more

You would have no idea it's there and that's the reason I love this place . Somehow in this small corner they have for a kitchen they are cranking out some quality pies read more

Are you looking for NY pizza? Your search is over. This place is amazing! I've been eating NY pizza my whole life and this is exactly what my mima brings home when ever I fly back to NY. I was here for a week and ate here 4 times. I went to other places but nothing satisfied the way this does. The owner or main person reminds me exactly of my uncle. I'll probably be making one last stop before the airport tomorrow! Highly recommend. Also, side note free delivery! I ordered to my hotel after a long day of work and my order was at my door no more than 10 mins later read more

Realistically 4.5 stars but rounding up because of the price and the fact that delivery is so reliable from this spot. I've ordered a bunch of times to the office and have been very pleased with my order every time - first of all, I'm no stranger to Seamless orders so I always appreciate the nuts and bolts of delivery (i.e. consistently confirms order quickly, delivers within or close-to-within the quoted amount of time, food isn't an absolute disastrous mess when it arrives) and this place checks every box. Furthermore, the price is more than right - pizzas, even with toppings, are super cheap, and can be split between a couple people. Onto the food - for the most part, phenomenal. I've gotten the calzones a few times and they're massive, filling, and delicious, with ample sauce on the side and a nice blend of cheese. The pizza is always delivered piping hot and is a good size for a small. My one and only big complaint is that this spot does NOT do barbecue chicken well, which is probably my all-time favorite pizza topping: they do a weird mix of barbecue sauce and red sauce that I don't like at all. Besides the barbecue chicken, however, I've been really happy with everything I've ordered. All in all, will definitely order again. One of my favorite, if not my favorite, spots on Seamless for pizza. Definitely want to try the pasta dishes at some point as well. read more

Il Mattone - Cheese Slice - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

This was a really excellent slice of pie. The cheese was oily, garlicky, and had just enough balance to bring in some freshness. The ingredients all tasted very high-quality and packed a very strong flavor punch. The crust was soft and chewy and played up the flavors of the cheese and sauce very well. read more

Il Mattone - Margherita Pizza - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

I came here for dinner after work on a Wednesday since I was in the Tribeca area and there were not many options. The place was pretty small and there was limited seating, like 2 small tables really. I ordered two cheese slices to go since the place was crowded. The pizza was made well. The slices were hot and fresh. It had a flavorful sauce and a lot of cheese. There was a good chew to the crispy crust. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They take credit cards, no minimum which was great. I would come back to try their other pizzas if I'm ever in the area. read more

Hands down my favorite pizza place in NYC. Try the pepperoni & jalapeño slice - you won't be disappointed.

My friends and I were passing around in this area and smelled great pizza! Even though we were not hungry, we had to try it out!! Pros: 1. Great pizza!! The cheese slice is pretty good; the right amount of sauce and the right amount of cheese. We asked for the pizza to be well done and it was perfect- neither burned nor too soggy! 2. Tried the chicken roll as well (since the name sounded interesting). Turned out to be pretty tasty! Was kind of a calzone filled with mozzarella and chicken and little marina sauce. 3. Accepts credit cards! (important since most slice pizza places in the city don't accept cards) Cons: 1. Very little space to sit. I think they only have 2 tables with 4 chairs per table. No place/bench to sit outside either. 2. The place is kinda small, so it can get crowded quickly. read more

I was craving some Italian food and opted for this spot because their prices are pretty reasonable. I got the chicken parm with a side of rigatoni pasta in vodka sauce, mozzarella sticks, and a side of broccoli rabe. The chicken parm and pasta was a good portion for a meal. The chicken wasn't too juicy and the breading wasnt crispy anymore but it was covered in sauce and the cheese was melted well on top. The rigatoni was a bit too thick but it was still pretty good with the vodka sauce. The mozzarella sticks weren't as good as I had hoped since it lacked that cheese pull. The sautéed broccoli rabe was pretty salty and cooked with lots of garlic but they do give a good portion. I also tried their garlic knots which were pretty good. Overall, pretty good Italian food and would order from here again. read more

I was in NY for work and was aimlessly wandering around the TriBeCa neighborhood when I came across this place. It's a small little joint but I was greeted with a warm welcome. I was that obnoxious new customer who wanted to read everything in their overhead menu before deciding on something basic, but they were very friendly and patient with me. There were many different pizzas on display and they even offered cauliflower crust pizza, but since I had pizza the night before, I opted for the meat lasagna instead. I was served a huge portion of lasagna along with some nice toasty bread. Let me just say, I definitely didn't leave hungry (I couldn't even finish my food). What I loved most was seeing the woman (I think the owner?) interact with the other patrons. Customers made sure to personally say hello and goodbye to her, she asked her regulars who they and their families were doing, and she even sat down with another customer to chit chat with him when there was a short break in the line. This place is ran by good, honest people serving their community. Seeing how the owner interacted with the patrons will definitely bring me back here when I'm back in town. read more

Got the penne with vodka sauce. Small portion, but granted given that it's the lunch special for $10. Ordered through the app Ritual and was able to pick up the order in a timely manner. Been coming here for a variety of menu items, but the penne vodka has always been a favorite among myself and my co-workers. Good place if you want authentic Italian food. Feels always like a hustle and bustle place given the small restaurant size and crowds during rush hour. read more

I love my neighborhood pizza spot but when I needed them most they let me down!!

Maybe it was seamless maybe it was their staffing but either at I was panicked with hungry kids circling me with dagger eyes. read more

Picked up lunch from here in late December and was very pleased. Order: gluten free margherita pizza with hot sausage, sun dried tomatoes, and spinach. As a celiac my #1 question is whether the food is truly gluten free - in my experience here it was. I was impressed by the quantity added for each topping and thought it was a terrific deal for the price - in any location, but especially in NYC. Will certainly come again next time I'm in town! read more

Il Mattone - Gluten Free Personal Margherita Pizza with hot sausage, spinach, and sun dried tomatoes added. - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

This was the first place my friends and I ate when visiting NYC for the first time. We wanted true New York style pizza and so yelping was obviously our go-to. We saw II Mattone and one other place that looked up our alley but the reviews and price here were just better. At first, when we pulled up, we were a bit confused because the inside was smaller than we imagined but we decided to go in anyway. Truly, we were not disappointed. You pick your slices and then they put it in the oven and serve it to you on paper plates. Nothing fancy here. We ate in the shop, as it was only us, but it got busy after we started eating. I ordered a white pizza slice with fresh ricotta on it, pepperoni and the square pizza. Oh. Man. It was SO heavenly. Each piece was cooked perfectly. The crust was crunchy and the cheese was cheesy. The flavors were all there. I honestly don't even know any other way to describe it but.. this was the best pizza I have ever had. I still think about it and I CANNOT wait to go back. PLEASE visit here. Inexpensive, delicious and the guys who work there are really nice. read more

Great food, especially the vodka sauce pizza! My new favorite quick Italian spot in the city

Don't order on seamless! Food doesn't come after restaurant confirms order and they don't answer the phone. Waited an hour and a half and never received the order. read more

The food is always cold . It's like they don't care about warming up your pizza. If I had a oven this would be a 2 star review because then I could actually warm my own pizza up. The service is okay, some people are nice but one guy made a comment to another about my weight and I heard it. Finally the ambience is awful and I'm pretty sure they are breaking some codes since they are just leaving cold pizza all day on a rack and using their hands to put it on your plate and then not even warm it for you without gloves read more

I love NY pizza! This place will renew your faith in what it means to be a slice of pizza in the city. There's no place to sit at II Mattone, it's just a grab & go place. I stopped in, ordered a couple slices and left. No fan fair, no ambiance, no special services. Just GREAT pizza at a good price. Exactly as it should be... Whenever I'm in NYC, I sample as many pizza joints as possible. The prices are all over the place and some places have lost their love of pizza and it shows. This place stay true to the pizza! read more
