Amazing food and excellent crew too. My friend and I came here on a Wed night. I was mesmerized by the rotating pizza oven that made delicious pizza. Love this place so much. I cannot wait to come back for their other dishes. read more

If you're in this part of Astoria (were you at Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden, too?), I would recommend getting their brick oven pizza! As it was going to rain, after grabbing a drink at Bohemian Hall, my friends and I strolled into Macoletta. The beautiful brick oven pizza is hard to miss! We ordered a bottle of wine (Sauvignon Blanc) and it was fine, nothing spectacular. Then for starters, we asked if they had a meat and cheese board, but alas they only offered one or the other. The waitress insisted we get both, but since we only wanted a mixed board and it wasn't possible, we went with the most recommended app: the burrata salad. And well, you can't really mess up a burrata salad, so it was great! Then we ordered the Crudo pizza (san marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, arugula, grated parmigiano reggiano, prosciutto di parma) -- this was EXCELLENT! I mean, I'm always down for a prosciutto and arugula pizza, and even my Italian friend said that the prosciutto was of good quality (dragging an Italian friend to an Italian restaurant is almost impossible -- IYKYK!), so that was big. There were four of us, so we ordered the larger pie and we each got two slices each, though not as filling as we hoped. So we ordered a pasta, the rigatoni bolognese (homemade rigatoni, beef and veal slowly cooked in a classic bolognese sauce), and while good, wasn't really a lot. (Get the theme here?) For dessert, we were stuck between choosing the lava cake or the tiramisu, and when we asked the waitress, she again insisted we get both and was disappointed when we just went with one: the lava cake. Which was also just ok. So the ambiance was nice and cute, but combined with the pricey food and the pressure we were getting to order either two of the meat and cheese boards or desserts, we were a little put off. Buuuuut if I find myself near Bohemian, I could go for some brick oven pizza -- though I'll just stick with that. Cailin's Recommendations Crudo pizza ($34): good, but definitely pricey and not enough for 3-4 people (at least for my group!) read more

Came in with a friend for a quick bite. Our server was Tina and she is amazing and lovely. We had some giggles with her and is just on point, funny, and super good at her job. The pizza we ordered was absolutely divine. No complaints about ambiance or food. But today was all about our repertoire with Tina. She is so much fun. read more

Darby was kind, knowledgeable and outstanding tonight! Great to see the place has improved every year! Give her a Reward Walid!

Oh my GOD! The best pizza ever! I had the mushroom pizza and their truffle oil is to die for! Also, they have a guest singer perform on Thursday's at 8pm and her name is Emma...MY GOD she is a goddess! The red house wine is also affordable and amazing! read more

Delicious pizza, nice location, cool decor, and attentive service! The doors on one side slide completely open allowing to enjoy the nice weather (no outside sitting when we were there). We ordered Bianca and Mushrooms. Out of those two I really liked Bianca's flavor and pine nuts added that extra oomph. Mushrooms was ok, but not memorable. While the flavors were spot on, the size was rather small for the price. Giving 4* due to size of the pizza and it's high price. Street parking is another issue. read more

Lovely outdoor seating. I'm gluten and dairy free and am always apprehensive of pizza places but Macoletta surprised me with delicious GF pizza crust! It was flavorful, had the crust bubbles and didn't taste anything like the cardboard I usually get. The pizza I got was cheese-less so didn't try their vegan cheese but would def go back for another try! Only reason 4/5 stars is because waitress was kind of hard to pin down. Took awhile for anyone to bring water or ask if we want drinks. read more

Food was AMAZING the staff awesome this is the best pizza in the world they make it fresh right in front of you the margarita pizza is a try for sure it tasted so fresh Bobana is super nice she served us she is super nice the pizza was so quick to be made really really good this deserves a 5 stars /review by Aiza :) read more

Bellissimo, this is a great Pizzeria well worth the travel from New Jersey for the perfect pizza. The restaurant was busy but we were greeted by friendly staff, and seated. Placed the order and as I looked around and noticed the restaurant was very clean with nice decor.....and the pizza arrived in minutes very fast very efficient very personal, extremely tasty. We decided to try the desserts too, Mini Canolis & the Nutella Pizza. Definitely try this place out, you'll get to see your pizza prepared and cooked in the fancy oven it flys. Oh and location is very close to the subway too. Well done guys! read more

Love this new place! We sat at the bar and watched our pizza being prepared from scratch - what a superb experience! Their oven is a masterpiece (spins and goes up and down), so is the pizza coming out of it. Our Napolitana was cooked perfectly! The staff were great, friendly and professional. Loved the atmosphere as well. Highly recommend! read more

A nice small restaurant located on a more quieter street in Astoria. I went for lunch and the restautant was relatively quiet. The pizza was good. They definitely use very fresh ingredients. The crust was nice. It had a good char and the right amount of saltiness. The Charcuterie was pretty good too. read more

This review it's mainly base on the service,, the service was horrible, it took forever to take the order, the water never came, then the pizza show up 20 mins later , no plates , no soda just the pizza, order was wrong didn't even bother to tell them cause I assume it will take forever to get it back, I was told you were short hand but it doesn't mean you need to have attitude, no need for the attitude.. pizza was ok.. read more

My go-to restaurant! Everything here is so fresh and authentic, food is always consistent, and the staff are lovely. My favorites are the bufalina pizza, spaghetti pomodoro, meatballs, and the asiatico salad! Also an amazing place to hang out during all seasons (they have nice outdoor seating in the summer) read more

Great addition in Astoria! This place is right next to Bohemian Beer Garden. The resto looks trendy and big so good for groups/birthdays. I like the bar area where you can see how they make the pizza. We ordered Bianca (White). It was fresh and tasty. We also got to try their dessert like poori with Nuttela. They cut it in half and add nuttela inside with powdered sugar. Yum! Overall satisfied. One thing to note as of this evening, they don't serve alcohol yet. read more

My favorite pizza place in Astoria! I have not had a pizza here I didn't like (and I've had 8 of them). I've come twice during COVID-19 for outdoor dining. The pandemic is definitely messing up some supplies and they've been out of a few ingredients both times I came, but what they do have is on point! My favorite pizza is either the sweet and spicy diablo, or the vegetarian Cara. Or actually maybe it's the prosciutto and burrata pizza. I can't decide, like I said, they're all delicious! The pizzas in my pictures are all the "small" size, which is shareable if you split an appetizer or could be a whole meal for 1. The first time I came, I brought three friends and we split 3 pizzas between the four of us and it was the perfect amount for me. Service here is very friendly and the umbrellas that they have set up for outdoor dining are very strong and sturdy! It was raining when I came once and we managed to stay dry underneath them! read more

Macoletta is one of the best pizza joints in Astoria. Your experience could be a 4 or 5 depending on your preference for pizza. If you're into Neopolitan pizzas, then this is the place for you! I recommend the Diablo, a 5-star Neopolitan experience for me. The Diablo is a sweet and spicy pizza, packing large amounts of flava! In general, this joint has some of the best ingredients I've seen at a pizza shop. Their selection of meats and cheeses are of high quality! They don't go heavy on the sauce, but there is just enough, plus it is quite tasty. Also, this establishment is consistent - a critical factor if you're living in the neighborhood. They make every pizza fresh, just for you :) 5-star ratings for pizza are hard to come by in the five boroughs of NYC (plus LI and Connecticut). I cannot claim this is the best pizza, with so many amazing spots in the city, plus my ultimate bias for classic NYC slices being a factor. What I can say is that outside of NY, this place would be a 5, and in NY they hang with the best. Macoletta is delicious and definitely worth the trip! read more

Macoletta is a great place with a neighborhood vibe too it, there's a lot of study sidewalk seating and the inside is very cozy and inviting. I love that they offer multiple vegan options, including pastas and pizzas. I would love to see a vegan dessert too. There's also a great list to make your own pizza so you can have whatever you are in the mood to have! read more

Ordered a pizza for takeout through Yelp. The pizza was great, but either the manager or the owner told us when we picked up it that we should've called them directly instead, because these third party services charge 30%. Look, if you don't want people to order takeout through Yelp or grub hub, then remove the option yourself. I almost felt reprimanded for giving him my money. Do you want 70% of my revenue or 0%? Decide for yourself. read more

The pizza here is delicious. They have pre-set pies and make your own. The personal size is a perfect amount for a full meal. They even have vegan options too. The dough is thin but chewy. I really enjoyed my pizza. The service was friendly and the food came out fast. I definitely want to go back to try their pasta dishes too. The inside is fun because you can see them cooking the pizzas. Highly recommend! read more

The food was great! We got a couple pizzas (diablo was amazing), the meat board (the bread is INSANE) and tiramisu! It was a great atmosphere and is right by the subway station which is always convenient. The server was nice and food was great - highly recommend!! read more

The one star as for the food. Service is beyond horrendous. The staff messed up the drink order, did not place our food order, and went out of their way to be inattentive. My gf had to go get our waitress for a water refill and she literally placed the carafe on our table and left. The bill was charged in full and the staff serenaded us "Thank You!" as we left. Ignorance is bliss. read more

The menu pricing for the build your own pizza option is exceptionally duplicitous. We were encouraged to employ the 'build your own' option for our dinner as a way to avoid our allergens by our server. Nowhere on the menu does it indicate the build your own option pizzas come with a base price of $12-$14 before adding your toppings, which cost at minimum $2 per topping and max out at $6 per topping. My 12" pizza with prosciutto, capers, arugula and cherry tomatoes came out to $24!!! The same pizza on the regular menu with cheese cost $18. How does that make sense? And how does the menu not indicate a baseline price for the pizza when you build your own? When I complained to the staff about this, I was met with a blasé attitude, and no apology. Deliberate deception and bad business practices. Avoid at all costs. We will not be back. read more

Great pizza & pasta, really good drinks. They keep the menu limited and keep it all really good. Great spot for outdoor dining in a nice part of Astoria, too. read more

Outdoor dining doesn't get much better than this. The service was friendly and attentive. It wasn't busy at the time, so I was able to grab a table for 3 pretty easy, though they have plenty of seating. I had the Diablo, which was an explosion of flavors, very tasty but a little on the sweet side. My friends had the Algerino, which was also very good and a little more subtle. They provide alcohol on the tables, so that you can keep your hands clean. I will have to come back and try their other pizzas. The cocktails were delicious, also. read more

Macoletta - (SM) Algerino (SM) Margherita - Italian Near Me - Astoria, New York

Macoletta is an authentic Italian neighborhood pizza restaurant in Astoria. The owner Walid is directly involved with the business, assuring quality and customer satisfaction. The care and attention that goes into this restaurant is apparent throughout. The pizza is personal size, thin crust, cooked in a pizza oven, the design centerpiece of the restaurant. Some great local beers served as well. Macoletta has live music on some nights from an aspiring Broadway artist Emma Currie Smith, who apparently lives in the neighborhood. It's a opportunity for you to have some of the finest pizza in the whole NYC area, and enjoy a free performance from one of New York's rising stars. What's there not to like? read more

Macoletta - Crudo Pizza. - Italian Near Me - Astoria, New York

We can always count on Macoletta to have solid pizza. The first time we came here, we took advantage of their happy hour deals with the wine. I had the Bianka pizza and my boyfriend had the Algerino pizza, to which I think the Algerino was the best one we ever had at Macoletta. During our recent visit, I got the Diablo and he got the Crudo. The Diablo had all different kinds of taste, all complimenting each other. The honey balanced out the spicy parts. The spicy sausage on top was amazing. The Crudo tasted so very fresh, from the arugula to the prosciutto. You can get bigger sizes of one but we opted to the sizes good for 1-2 people, but honestly I think it's the perfect size for one hungry person! We can always count on Macoletta. read more

Macoletta - Italian Near Me - Astoria, New York

As a Queens native I've been coming to this corner in Astoria for many years, but just happened to go into Macoletta last night. This is easily the best Neapolitan pizza in Queens and would rival the best in the city. The Canvas Buratta was one of the best things I've eaten in the last year. The crust is amazing and the ingredients were super fresh. Service was great and the outdoor seating is very nice. Looking forward to going again. P.S. - they also have gluten free and dairy free options; I asked as I was leaving so I can bring my family in the future. read more

Fantastic eggplant parmigiana and brick oven pizza! Nice wine selection, and pretty solid staff. Highly recommend this establishment!

I really wanted to like this place but pizza was undercooked. Never thought I could get a bad brick oven pizza in NY. This one missed the mark but has potential. It was soggy. I ordered the mushroom pizza and another specialty pizza. I expected an exotic or specialty mushroom medley for the price. Instead it was just the average common unseasoned mushroom. I will say the waitstaff was incredibly nice and hard working. Two young women working their butt off for sure! I may give them a second chance during their weekday $11 special. Payed over $20 for their speciality pizza on a Saturday and it was not worth the price. read more
