Ugh. Service often makes or breaks a first time experience at a restaurant no matter how good the food. While I was trying to be graceful to our server who was obviously very inexperienced, unfortunately service mistakes kept happening to not notice and started to get a little annoying. We had a birthday party of 7 guests. It was dead when we walked in. She was the only server. We were told to use the next table as a gift table and later she loudly told us what "we have to do" to get all the gifts off that table as it wasn't hers anymore... after a second server came on board and it got busier. She didn't help or make that transition smooth as a more seasoned server could have. Ex: "Hey, I'm going to just move these over here, my co-worker needs the table." Apps were out before we had to ask for more than 3 app plates we had. Food was out before we had to ask for large dinner plates. Empty dishware was not being removed as emptied. Our table was getting full and piled high with dishware. It was a struggle to lay 3 pizzas out, 4 orders of wings and salads with all the app dishes not removed. I ordered a bottle of moscato. She delivered it, cap on and dropped it on the table like a beer served at a dive bar busy night. For this alcohol I asked for a separate bill from the host of the birthday party. It became gift opening time and our table was full still... she had dropped checks off for the host and myself. I'm sorry, that is my biggest pet peeve. Do not drop a check when I have 3 dirty plates in front of me. I asked her to clear them, all the while being perturbed that we obviously had gifts to open and what if we wanted dessert??? We didn't bring a birthday cake! She said she'd get to it. We all just passed all the plates and stuff onto the table next to us so we could continue our event there and have space to open gifts. Lo and behold she's interrupting to get the checks paid from the host of our party. Had no idea how to apply visa gift cards, but at least she finally asked how to do it. Literally clueless to the social clues of letting diners enjoy their event until the end. As for my alcohol check on the little clipboard, I guess I wasn't fast enough to pay, a second one was dropped in front of me while watching the birthday boy open his gifts! I couldn't believe it. I did want dessert. At this point I was just so over it and didn't order. Sad. Even the birthday boy mentioned after that was the worst service he had ever experienced. And he felt so robbed of his moment to enjoy his family. I hate to write this kind of review but it needs to be said. Miss B, please learn some tips about serving. Management, please pay attention and train staff with the basics. Her attitude was sweet, but she is in need of more training. Meanwhile... I don't barely recall the food with all the distractions. The honey BBQ wings were great. My bad for not reading margarita pizza was red sauce instead of garlic and oil base. I was there as the restaurant of choice for the birthday boy. Would I go again? I don't think so. Management should have been helping her or at least a bus person. This is no mom and pop place, it's corporate. We expected more. Thankfully multiple other staff members brought out the food while it was hot. read more

Surprisingly disappointing.. pizza was not just bland but sauce was completely tasteless! And soda was watered down .. Solid crushed ice and maybe a few spoons of soda read more

First and foremost I have to give a BIG THANK YOU shout out to Boryana !! This young lady is absolutely wonderful , and she has a terrific attitude . She answered every question that my wife and I had asked ( And we asked a lot ) didn't rush us with our order , or make us feel like she had better things to do . Food , as usual is awesome . But for me , A great dining experience starts with the first person that you come in contact with , they set the dining mood to start , and that sets up the cooks too knock it outta the park with the food . The Manager Jeff there runs a fine store . Thank You. read more

It's sad when you move out of an area, then come back & visit your old favs & realize they've changed & not what they used to be. That's what happened today. It was 12:15pm & they only had one guy working the counter, the phones & all the tables. He did great in spite of it aside from starting to take our order, then walking away in the middle of it & not coming back for 5 mins...but we get it...he was the only one there. Luckily it wasn't busy, and he was impressive how he balanced it all. We did feel bad for him. If management is gonna schedule a skeleton crew like that on a holiday, just better to close altogether. The food, for the most part was still good (Wings, zucchini, and while the salad was good - they always had the best salads), I made the mistake of paying $16+ for a buffalo chicken salad & while the greens, cheese & dressing were great, the chicken was cheap processed cube like with a buffalo sauce that did not taste at all like their delicious wing sauce, but a mostly vinegar, very plain sauce. Those chicken cubes pretty much ruined the whole thing, even though there was so little of the actual chicken. First salad I ever had at NYPD that wasn't great. Then as we used to do, we ordered zeppole to go. Those have gone down hill too. Used to be light, airy & melt in your mouth. Now it's chewy, cake like & just not what it used to be. This location is still overall good food & great service, but also so disappointing! read more

What a terrible experience. I have been frequenting the McDowell and 7th Street location for years and the people and pizza have been great. I especially liked the Cauliflower crust pizza. I ordered two "cauliflower crust" pizzas and some wings via Uber Eats from this location. When it arrived we instantly noticed the crust did not look like or taste like the right crust. I called the store and argued with Isaiah for a long time and even went to the store with the bad pizzas. Bottom line is that NYPD pizza (at this location at least) changed the cauliflower crust to something doughy instead of thin and crispy. The line cook is the only one who owned up to the truth about the change. Isaiah just wanted to be right instead of helping a customer have a better experience. He could have simply said " we changed our supplier/recipe. Can we make something else for you?" I will never ever patronize this establishment and reconsider NYPD pizza downtown as well if these are corporate stores. UPDATE: Upper management actually did a real investigation of what happened and it was an honest mistake outside of the companies policies. I am really impressed with the level of customer service exhibited by upper management. read more

Don't let this review prevent you from trying this restaurant. It's usually very very good. This was just a one-off experience. I'm just sharing this experience, so that it doesn't happen to another customer. Ordered a create your own pizza and an additional pizza. My girlfriend went to pick them up. My pizza was made wrong. So they remade mine. But the one that they remade had at least a two and a half inch crust. It was like there was a myza just wrapped in a big ring of crust. It was also undercooked. Then after my remade pizza was finished, and they took it out of the oven, then they put my girlfriend's pizza and to heat up. So then my pizza started to get cold. I'm sure I will increase this to five stars after my next experience. read more

Great food and perfect service Chris is your best waiter We are happy and we will be back Not to mention they have lunch specials read more

Very casual but nice looking establishment from what I could see. We just did a pick up and my partner went in as I stayed in the car. My partner loved his pizza. I don't remember which one he got... it had meatballs and ricotta on it. The only thing he was disappointed was the amount of meatballs on the pie was very little. The wings were good, but we ordered with a side of blue cheese, and instead we got ranch. Even though the container was also labeled blue cheese lol we might get more food from this place again, pretty promising :) read more

We went here for a late lunch/early dinner so the place was not busy whatsoever. We had to wait to be seated by a totally uninterested server who needed to clean a booth for us. That was strike 1. We ordered a deep dish pizza and some fried zuccini. The zuccini was cut way too thick and we only got 7 pieces on a full order!!! Totally not worth it, so thats strike 2. The pizza came out and it was just like i always remembered. Very good!!! The whole time we sat there, i counted at least 5 dirty tables that needed cleaning. And whenever people came in, the waitress would make them wait for that!! Absolutely ridiculous!!! Our waitress just seemed like she didnt care about her job or her customers, with her unhurried sense of doing anything. Then she asked us if we wanted our bill, which we said yes. This took an additional 10 minutes for her to present it to us. Strike three!!! I tend to boycott any place that gets me this annoyed. I'm really disappointed in our experience. I like to spend my time and money on a place that cares 100% for its customers. There was only one person, a young guy, who seemed like he cared. Do better NYPD!! Hire some people who care, including a decent manager!! read more

I never write reviews.. I love this place. I've been going here for 3 years. their wings (were) amazing, and the pizza is still top notch. I don't know if they have a new chef but the last two visits I ordered $300 worth of pizza and wings and they didn't put the addition sauce I paid for on the wings (Hells Kitchen wings) they were undercooked with no flavor. And don't ask for more ranch..... to go with my 48 wings and 3 large pizzas lol Come on y'all! I want to come back. read more

This is a must stop for all pizza lover's. Outstanding food, management and service. The dining room was very clean and maintained. My husband and I visit the Arrowhead location. A hidden gem!!! Being a Chicago girl all my life, I must say the Vinny pizza was such a special surprise of enjoyment of flavor. Our server Isaiah was very attentive. We had the privilege to meet the store manager Robert and you can see how much he loves his job. He radiates happiness along with those smile. The cherry on the top was meeting the regional manger and having the opportunity to share our experience with him and where we were from. His kindness that he bestowed on us will never be forgotten. read more

Huge order made by phone w Robert for at home 40th birthday for the next day. Our home was outside of DoorDash delivery! Robert went above and beyond calling to secure a driver for the following day. Driver delivered HUGE order, brought it in house, and all on exact time requested! Hot food was hot, salads were cold, NOTHING WAS WRONG OR MISSING! That in itself is amazing. Even though I hadn't requested it, order included, service ware! And food was great!!! Party was a smash hit ... everyone loved all the food and were stuffed! Thank you, Robert and NYPD PIZZA read more

Love the food and atmosphere! You gotta try their subs, pizza, and spaghetti! Great people and great food!

Great Service provided by Issis A.! We really appreciated her energy and recommendations. The Sicilian was awesome and my little one really enjoyed her kids slice and scoop of ice cream. The kids slice is customizable so we didn't have to worry about picking toppings off of the more expensive pie. read more

We love NYPD pizza! The staff there is super nice and their food is delicious! It is our favorite place to go for pizza. We also had a birthday party there with about 18 people and they were very accommodating and did a fantastic job taking care of us! Thank you NYPD! read more

I would like to update my review since after a year the new management did the right thing and reached back out! We gave NYPD togo a try and it was pretty tasty although again some dressings were not filled up all the way, seems like an ongoing issue after a year but we did enjoy the food. They were sadly out of ricotta so I couldn't try the calzone but we will be back and dine in next time. Our favorite was the wings again! Thanks Melissa. Hope to see many more improvements under new management. read more

My hubby and I moved to AZ back in November 2022 (from California). When we come to the big city (we live in Wickenburg) this is our go-to Pizza place to eat! I don't know why more people aren't eating here, the food and service is always GREAT! My hubby and I are kinda in the Pizza industry, we make custom spice blends! So we know good pizzas when we have them and NYPD's pizzas are Yummy! The restaurant is always clean and has a great atmosphere! Keep up the great work New York Pizza Dept read more

This place never disappoints. The pizza is mouthwatering and so is the fried zucchini. The people who work there are polite and friendly and know how to greet you whether over the phone or in person. I wish all places of business would train employees how to treat customers like NYPD Pizza does. I highly recommend this place! read more

How hard is it to follow order requests? This is like the third time we ordered and food is made totally wrong. At this point you wonder do they even care and if it is done on purpose? Management needs to address this asap. read more

I called them about placing a larger order and spoke to the manager. He was very helpful and recommended I order the Brooklyn package (8 large pizzas of our choice) for the number of people we had attending, for a party celebrating my son's baptism. The food arrived right on time and nice and hot and the delivery man was so nice and friendly and provided great service! We were very pleased and the pizza and wings were both delicious! Thank you for the great customer service! read more

Made my second trip to NYPD.I got the Chelsea Chopped Salad and instead of the dressing that comes with it I got their blue cheese. Wow. Very good. I will definitely be back to get another salad. I did have their wings which were also good. Again the person waiting on our table was very nice and helpful. We did do this at lunch time and there was only a few people in the store. We will for sure be back. This place makes a nice place for a family meeting and eating together. read more

I walked in - wasn't greeted for a good five minutes, only to be told I needed to go behind the partition to pick up my pizza. The pizza was cold.... I put it in my oven to reheat it on low for 20 mins. It was alright ... I've had real New York pizza before - this doesn't compare and not really worth 30.00 On a brighter side the pizza is not greasy like real New York pizza read more

My fave place to eat PIZZA! There is something about that pizza crust that I like. The pizza crust is airy, but when you bite into it, it's crispy. I usually order Da Works pizza. The toppings and cheese are generous on the pizza. Also, the salad, bruschetta ingredients are fresh. The service is great and attentive--a perfect place to enjoy delicious meals. read more

Excellent pizza! The crust is crispy enough with just the right amount of chew. Not too much sauce and it wasn't sweet. The Italian sausage was fantastic! We ordered the Brooklyn pizza which was amazing! This was takeout so no comment on the service or restaurant. Would definitely order again! read more

NYPD Pizza is a Metro Phoenix local group of pizza restaurants. They differ from from the other groups of pizza restaurants because they have New York Type Water in their pizza dough. These restaurants are casual family friendly restaurants. They offer appetizers, salads, pastas, desserts and more. This location (Arrowhead Mall) has a bar and an outdoor patio. As we arrived we were quickly seated at a table. A friendly server took our order and about 30 minutes later our pizzas were served to us. I order a personal sized eight inch pizza that was topped with mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, garlic, tomatoes and seasoning and fresh basil. My pizza didn't have a crisp bottom but I can tell you the crust had a delicious taste that you wouldn't normally find from similar pizza places. I have to say my pizza was delicious. Every thing was tasty and my pizza was well seasoned. My husband also enjoyed his sausage pizza. We were checked on by much of the help and the manager during our stay. read more

I will never eat Dominoes Pizza ever again! I cannot believe how good this pizza was. Now I know what people are talking about! I ordered it via Uber Eats last night. I purchased the 4 cheese one and added pepperoni. I am a NYPD Pizza convert. It was so good that I over ate. read more

Lovely service by Tiffany who is one of the managers. Just came in for a quick birthday pizza and the service was just what was needed. I come here a couple times a year at the very least and its location here at Arrowhead Mall is very convenient. read more

The price and wings are the reason I gave it a 4 but the pizza is probably a 3. The crust had a great flavor but was a little spongy. The sauce and cheese were meh. Sauce especially was lacking. The Italian sausage topping was great, but the mushrooms were off. I would recommend getting the Honey hot wings. I was honestly surprised how good their wings were. For a medium pizza and 6 wings paid $25 which is pretty good right now. read more

Very good! We were out of town. No clue if it would be good. Chicken Caesar salad and the white pie pizza were both excellent! Highly recommend read more

This place was not good. Food was below average I got a small pizza it wasn't the size of my plate and and it cost 30 bucks. Unreal!

Staff are young and play too much. They consistently over cook their pizza. Would be good if they could cook a pizza right. I've tried to give them chance after chance, I'm done. Update: I changed my review from 1 to 4 star because customer service is great I called in and let the manager know and she was very nice and made it right. read more
