We made a quick pit stop here before heading out to Long Beach to catch the sunset and some live music on a Friday night. Let me just say, this place absolutely hits the mark, whether you're grabbing a pie to go or taking your time and soaking in the lively, authentic pizzeria vibe. The ambiance is effortlessly inviting. When you step in, you're greeted by the smell of fresh baked dough, gooey cheese, and a friendly crew behind the counter. Even though we were in a rush, you could tell Saint James is the kind of place where locals gather, families grab an easy dinner, and pizza lovers unite over a hot, cheesy slice. The walls are filled with classic memorabilia, and there's just something homey and vibrant about the space. Now to the star of the show: the pizza! We ordered a classic cheese pie right from their Yelp page (super easy process, by the way! All the menu options are laid out with prices and descriptions, and online ordering was a breeze). The crust was that perfect balance of thin, crisp on the bottom, with just enough chew to make each bite satisfying. The cheese was plentiful, gooey, and rich, with a tangy tomato sauce that tasted homemade. We enjoyed our pie oceanside at the beach, and even after the drive it held up perfectly. No sogginess or limp crust! I can only imagine how fantastic their pies are fresh from the oven in-house. Next time, I'm grabbing a seat and trying the pasta, too.

Now this is Tucked away in the corner of the parking lot with lots of competition around so it may go unnoticed. But from the food and the service from the girl at the counter this was a great experience. The inside is very cool, they also serve alcohol. I loved the decor all over. Now it is a bit pricy, I paid about $7 for a buffalo chicken slice which is fine considering the amount of chicken they put on the slice! This slice was loaded. I asked for it well done and they delivered. The buffalo chicken slice was crispy, no flop at all and loaded with flavor. Absolutely great place, now granted my rating is based off just trying this once but it was outstanding. The girl who works the counter is super sweet and very very well deserving of 5 stars herself. When I'm in the area I am excited to come back and try some more of their pizza. Great experience.

They do a ton of takeout business so clearly it has an audience, but it's much denser than the inarguable classic NY slice. The grandpa slice in particular is like eating a loaf of bread. I wasn't swept away by any specialty slice across several visits so I'll stick to the regular slice for now. For the sit-down in the back, the sauce makes or breaks it, and I wasn't smitten. We overheard another table favorably comparing their meals to Italian in NYC, which sounded rather unfair. We both thought our dishes were among the weaker chicken options in the immediate area, nevertheless the city. We will go elsewhere for our classic dishes, but will come back when feeling adventurous.

I've lived in the area for about 15 years and had only tried Georgia's Pizza in Nesconset once…read morebefore--unfortunately, that first experience didn't leave much of an impression. Recently, I decided to give it another shot on two separate times, and some of their specialty pies: the vodka pizza with a garlic knot crust and the trio pizza (pesto, marinara, and vodka). I'll start with the positives--service was friendly and welcoming, which definitely made the experience more pleasant. And to be fair, the flavors across the pies were actually pretty good. The sauces complemented each other well. That said, the biggest issue--was the dough. It was noticeably undercooked which made the slices a bit doughy and hard to enjoy. On top of that, the pizza was quite greasy, which didn't help the overall texture. The undercooked dough stood out enough that it took away from what could have been a really solid pie. Another small note: the dining area looked like it could've used a quick sweep. Not a huge deal, but something that affects the overall impression when you walk in. I wouldn't completely write this place off, because the flavors are there and the staff is friendly. If I give it another try, I'd probably stick with a regular pie or maybe a Sicilian and specifically ask for it to be cooked well done. I think that could make a big difference.

It was so good that we knew we had to come back before heading home. Sure enough, our last meal before leaving New York was right back at Little Vincent's!

When a place is both your first AND last meal of a trip, you know they're doing something right! We'll definitely be back whenever we're in the area. Five stars from us!
