My food Order got mixed up by delivery boy and my order was sent to the wrong house and being eaten by another person that the delivery guy sent it to. So now I was told by pizzeria that I need to wait for another order to arrive. One hour for initial order, then add another 45mins for backup order. Almost two hours before I ate it, me and my wife were starving. At least tell me I get 20 percent off my order for the inconvenience. Nothing. read more

Just finished having a great dinner at Pizza Classica! The food was delicious and the service was wonderful as well.

The food is expensive on the menu, the portion size is smaller than expected, and the service needs improvement. The hostess has an attitude. They are just fortunate that there aren't other restaurants nearby to compete with. read more

Very good pizza, friendly staff and great sit in setting as well. I got the cappriciosa as I am a vegetarian and loved it. It is lean, it is tasty and could grasp the authentic Italian style. The place tends to get really busy, so expect a wait time. But the wait is worth it. I will come back to try more dishes. read more

Love there food! This place has amazing eggplant parm hero!!!! Seriously. Im not sure of it the sauce or what but it os outstanding!! Also their white bean. And escarole soup is AMAZING!!!! You gotta try it! They are always busy, which is a great sign! So next time go to stop and shop and you are tired from all that shopping go get a slice, because you deserve it! Namaste! read more

Whether you are having appetizers, salads or a hot dish - it's all fresh and delicious! Generous portions and convenient parking -can't go wrong here. read more

Disgusting experience. Large BUG in a Classica salad, over salted soup, poorly cooked & inedible stuffed artichoke. Rude waiter who refused to get a manager and said he was in charge of the section. I suggest not eating here, ever. Note: there is one star because I can't leave a post otherwise. read more

I love this place!!! I come here every week and they never fail. I swear they have the best mozzarella sticks around. Every pasta dish, wrap and pizza slice is great I especially love the eggplant pizza. My mom loves the calamari. EVERYTHING is good! read more

Greatest pizza and pasta in the neighborhood (by far!) Great service when you go there to eat. Gave it 4 stars for two reasons: 1. If you don't call ahead for take out you will be waiting a while for your order when you go pick up and 2. the parking situation is horrible but if you find a decent parking out front everything else is awesome. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. The pizza is great, but the entrees are to die for. My family and I drive from Williamsburg, Brooklyn to eat here regularly. The staff is always friendly and the service is great. We are a huge fan of their Arancini. I promise, you will not be disappointed. read more

This is the worst restaurant. My friend and I ate there August 2nd. The artichoke had to be sent back as it was hard as a rock. My friend had a salad with a huge bug in it!!! The server was rude to boot. Don't eat there. It's awful read more

An amazing place, The pizzas are amazing just wow, last week i went there with my gf, to sit down and have lunch and ordered appetizers and spaghetti with rib eye steak it was sogood, Just love this place. Anything your going to order will definitely taste amazing. read more

A party of five black patrons did not get seated but countless parties of caucasian groups got seated before them...... shame shame As a white man watching this I made my party get up so they could eat African american seem to not be welcomed here it's a sad day read more

Best place in fohi. Great pizza and entrees. They deliver. Everything is fresh and tasty. Lots of parking as well.

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. Was not expecting such high quality at first glance, but it's definitely one of the few good places, overall, that I've been to in recent years read more

Exceeded my expectations, dont let the takeout slices fool ya, the pizza here is delicious and thin when ordered at the restaurant. We shared a couple of appetizers, and pizzas and the portions were great and the service was exceptional. The restaurant has good ambience, and will return. They also have a room for private events which I will consider. read more

Hit or miss and really depends on the time of day you go, if the pizza sits out too long, it's not good. If you catch them around 11-12am it's great. Chicken rolls need more chicken. This is the type off place you can tell is literally counting the strips of chicken they put in their chicken rolls. The quality of their pizza chicken is poor but they use good cheese and the pizza crust and sauce is good read more

Pretty busy here. I always call ahead. Great pizza and rice ball. Did not give 5 stars because sometimes I am left on the phone forever and I have to call back. Customer service when I pick up order depends on who is there. Some are nice, some are not. read more

Where do I begin? This place needs a major attitude adjustment. As I was getting ready to leave work tonight, I decided to place an order to be delivered to my home. I called from my work phone since my cell phone was dead. I was greeted by the as always nasty girls who answer the phones there. I'm sure your all familiar with them. They asked if the food was going to the address associated with the phone number, I explained it was not and gave the address to my home. I assumed since I've ordered from there many times that my personal phone number would be associated to my address the same way the address is associated to the phone number. Could i be wrong for assuming that? Maybe. Was the girl wrong for not confirming my phone number? Absolutely. I was told it was an hour wait for delivery and I was fine with that since that is very typical of them. Always an outrageous wait time with them. I arrived home, waited an hour, waited some more. Still no food an hour and 40 minutes later. I finally decided to call and see what was going and I was told that they were trying to call the number I called from for 30 minutes and since no one answered, the driver left. My immediate response was, well that isnt my phone # but if no one answered, why wasnt my bell rang? She said the driver rang my bell and a woman answered and said no one was there. Not possible considering no one rang my bell. I was told the driver would come back but my food was sitting in the car over 30 minutes at this point and I explained that if the food was ice cold, i would not be paying for it. The driver finally calls me to say he's outside. I go outside, no one there. Call him back to say i'm outside and i dont see anyone. Needless to say, he was at the wrong address. I guess that would explain why this unknown woman said no one was there when he originally rang the bell 30 minutes prior. I checked to see if the food was cold, which it was. I explained to the driver that i spoke to the girl behind the counter, she is aware of the situation and i'm not paying BUT i still gave him a $20 tip since it was not his fault. My bell rings a few minutes later and its the driver again saying that the girls called him and said i either have to pay or give the food back. At this point, I didnt even want the food but why would I give it back to them so that they can throw it in the garbage. I called to tell them that and the phone was handed off to a man who clearly does not have an ounce of training when it comes to speaking to customers. He immediately starting yelling and saying i slammed the door in his drivers face ( i guess the kid failed to mention i gave him $20) and i'm refusing to pay for the food, i was told "i'm not allowed to order from them anymore" and i "better never call back again". Not to worry, i have no desire to spend my money in a place that has zero concept of customer service. The place is overpriced, the workers are rude. Yes, the food is good but you're in Glendale not Manhattan. Lets take the high and mighty attitude down a notch. Contrary to what they may believe there are other pizzerias in the area equally as good and I will most certainly be taking my business elsewhere. read more

In the 10+ years I've lived in New York, I have NEVER encountered what I will deem as the worst (attempted) dining experience ever. Let me explain. My boyfriend and I walked in around 7:05 PM on a weeknight. There's no hostess or anyone to greet us. Several people wait on booths however, between the steady stream of patrons on the takeout side of the restaurant and a large (family of 6+) waiting directly when you enter, there is no where to stand that is out of the way. A couple enters behind us within a few minutes of our arrival and is approached by an older man wearing a button down (I'll assume GM / owner) and asks them their party size to which they reply, "3" and he says, "right this way" and takes them to their table after garnishing a few menus. I grow irritated and walk around the restaurant to see if there is a formal hostess. There is not. The said employee approaches me and asks "How many?" to which I replied, "two" and explain that we entered the establishment more than 10 minutes ago and were waiting to be seated. He said it'd be 10 minutes, said sorry and then took my name down. We waited a few minutes and decided to do takeout instead (we informed him to release our name for respect for other waiting guests). Takeout Side We browsed slices and then waited for someone to ask what we wanted. Out of the 4 employees behind the counter, not a single one approached us and offered assistance. One employee was in fact using vulgar language and asking "where his marker was." Apparently that's A) Appropriate language for a "family-style" establishment and B) more important than cash-yielding, hungry customers in front of him. Needless to say, we walked out and went to Dee's less than a mile away where we had a fantastic, delicious and well-serviced experience. You can dine at your own risk however, I was completely and utterly turned off to the idea of spending my hard-earned money here. Dee's is a better experience and even California Pizza Kitchen has friendlier staff and delicious food. Avoid being taken advantage of from places like this and spend your money elsewhere where service, quality and professionalism is delivered. One star since Yelp won't allow for zero stars. read more

Excellent food...whether you are coming for pizza (upside down sicilian is THE best) or other Italian dishes...good location with parking and a Stop and Shop in the same strip... read more

Food burnt to such an extent you can't eat .The owner is RACIST hi said you don't speak English well don't call ore come to my restaurant.

Love this place! I usually call ahead to place my orders because it'll be about 30-45 minutes to get. So if you're really hungry and want to try this place out, I highly recommend calling and placing your order ahead of time! The penne vodka with breaded cutlet is amazingggggg. read more

I went here on my husband's recommendation when looking for a place to host a large party of people ~ for a meal after my father's funeral. From the outside, this place is easy to miss and once found, from its location in an out-of-the-way mall, not too inspiring. When walking in, it's also kind of easy to also dismiss - the place is divided between a pizza-shop style informal side... but then, there is also a really nice and modern restaurant style with a bar and faux fireplace side. Yes, it is a nice place to dine. The owners were super nice and accommodating, and worked with me on a 'family' menu that would both honor my dad (seafood dishes) and make happy the 'chicken only' folks. More good stuff: when we got there the service was prompt and curteous. The portions HUGE (folks got to take stuff home), so great value there. The best: seafood pasta fra diavolo was sooooo good. Great calamari. Eggplant rolatini melted in the mouth. Super yummy baked clams (you could taste the white wine broth on them). Excellent sangria. Can't speak for the the chicken dishes, but those who ordered those loved. Did I mention we were there with little kids? Yes. No one made a fuss about my son running around and hiding under tables. And we were given pizza for the kids - on the house. Do I love this place? Yes. Highly recommend. read more

AMAZING!! I am so impressed with this place. Being from out of state (Texas) and visiting, I was looking for some real Italian food. I googled looking for a restaurant near me and this was one of the places listed. I was not sure about it but the positive reviews convinced me to go there. And they delivered the goods!!! Then there was Rudy. This guy made me feel comfortable immediately! His service and the way he took care of us was impeccable! Folks across the board need to take a page from this guy and see how it's done. Period! We had a large crowd of 12 and broke the rules and sat us ASAP. If this guy ever showed up in my neck of the woods (ATX), you can bet that I'm making all the calls to get this guy taken care of. I highly recommend this place big time! The place was immaculate, the food was hot and authentic and all the sauces were like ma's kitchen and the taste is what I call, "EXPLOSIVE". You won't go wrong here, I guarantee it. Plus, his staff were friendly as it comes. Very well run place and you bet I'll be coming back here. Rudy, all I can say is a wholehearted "Thank you Sir"! ..... until we meet again amigo. read more

Love this place! I've been dining here since they first opened. I was happy to see when they extended the dining area and it's nicely done. It can get noisy from so many people in one space, but it's still cozy. I usually order the chicken marsala and it's so good, but almost everything I've had there is good. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

I'd like to re-write my review for Pizza Classica and remove my previous reviews/updates because I felt like I didn't give the guys here a fair shake. After looking back on my past reviews, I realized I was a bit unfair and overly nitpicking at the negative things. In all honesty, I've lived in Forest Hills for over 15 years and ever since Pizza Classica opened up, I was here from day one way before they expanded. Probably not as frequent as my sister when she lived here but I do come here often enough to say that they serve up good food. I've tried just about every pizza joint in our area and I've been coming to Pizza Classica the most out of all of them. Dani's House of Pizza is good, they make a good crust but I truly hate driving through Kew Gardens' shitty ass roads and then dealing with the hassle of looking for parking spot on a side street or on Lefferts Blvd. Nick's pizza is floppy, Portofino's is a jungle if you enter during the wrong time (kids from the catholic school across the street), and A&J is not even worth mentioning in my book. What I do and don't like about Pizza Classica. Pros: The toppings are great. They really don't cheap out on the customer when they request for toppings. Good cheese and good sauce. The sauce isn't as sweet as Dani's but it's still a good sauce for sure. It's nice and robust, it's not too acidic or sweet. It hits the spot just right. After the renovations, they've created a great ambiance for a dine-in experience. Cons: The crust. I like the pizza but I just don't like their crust. I find it too bready and soft. It's not buttery or crispy. If it came with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, then that could probably change my mind but the crust for the way it is alone, it's too soft and bland in my opinion. After coming to Pizza Classica for years and also shopping at Stop & Shop for years as well, I never used the coupons behind Stop & Shop's receipt until recently! I always knew it was there, I just never thought of using it. A pal of mine also told me about their family special. I ordered it once and it's well worth the price! Large pizza, wings, mozzarella sticks, salad, soda, garlic knots. You really get a lot for what you pay for, and on top of that, the coupon from Stop & Shop's receipt still applies. It's a deal you can't refuse! Among the other things I've tried in here besides pizza are Linguini w/ clam sauce, fried risotto balls, just about every specialty pizza they have on display, all of their rolls, steak sandwich, and more. Linguini w/ clam sauce - Absolutely bangin'. This alone is worth coming for. The portion is reasonably large for it's price and for the amount of clams it comes with! Like I said earlier, they do not cheap out on you when it comes to toppings! Fried rice balls - This stuff is fried crack. Asians love rice and fried stuff and they managed to bring the best of both worlds into one fried ball stuffed with rice and cheese. Crispy on the outside, mouth watering on the inside! Specialty pizzas - Grandma, buffalo, sicilian, and more. They're all pretty good but it can get a little pricey when you get choosey and select too many different types of specialty pizzas for one meal. Chicken and Sausage rolls - Not a big fan of them and it doesn't apply only to Pizza Classica. I find most rolls from most pizzerias to be dried out and bland. The good part about Pizza Classica, they give you a side of marinara for dipping which is really nice. Steak sandwich - I've ordered it once for my old man. He said he didn't like it, I tried half of it and I agree. The bits of steaks in the sandwich were overcooked, dry and hard. Verdict - The top picks in my opinion if you want the best bang for your buck is their family special and their linguini w/ clam sauce. That linguini w/ clam sauce is dynamite! It beats every other linguini dish in Forest Hills and puts Portofino's to shame for the price they charge for the portion they serve! The neighborhood seems to love PC and watching them grow over the years has been something amazing and special in this neighborhood. Several businesses in our area have closed and were replaced with Urgent care clinics while PC succeeded and expanded. My wife and I has chosen PC pretty much as our primary pizza stop and the service has improved significantly since the expansion. read more

See all

Tucked away in a grocery store parking lot, PC Classica used to be my favorite pizza & comfort Italian food restaurant in queens. Despite the fact they would never cross queens blvd to deliver to me, I've had dine in and take out from there 1-2 times a month for the past 3 years. However, once the restaurant expanded, the service has declined more and more each time to a very unfortunate incident that happened Saturday night by which the server and manager absolutely did not handle correctly. Saturday night, I dined in with my mom around 7pm. After a 20 min wait, we were seated and promptly ordered. We first got the hot appetizer to share which was disappointing and over priced. For $14, we got 2 eggplant rollatini rolls, 2 small stuffed mushrooms, 2 baked clams and 2 tiny stuffed shrimp. The sauce on the dish was excellent and we loved the eggplant rollatini so we excused the very small portion and just wouldn't order that mix again. Next we got our entrees. my mom got the stuffed pork chop and I had gnocchi alla vodka. The vodka sauce was very watery and missing a lot of flavor but the homemade pasta made up for that. My mom was enjoying her very large and flavorful pork chop when suddenly she found a 1" shard of bone in her mouth which luckily did not cut her gums or break her tooth. She politely put it on the side of the plate and let the guy we thought was our server know. He took the plate but never apologized or asked if she wanted anything else. Our server then came over and asked if we wanted dessert but did not address the bone in her food. When he bought our check, he said he asked his manager if he could take it off the bill but the manager only would take an $8 discount off the check. This was completely unacceptable and we asked to speak to the manager who finally came over, 30 mins after the incident, and was the 3rd person to not apologize or ask how he could rectify the situation. We let him know the concern and that she left the bone on the side of the plate and showed the waiter who turned out to be busboy. The manager claims the busboy didn't tell them but still never apologized. We let him know that we didn't think $8 off was fair since the bone could have done serious damage or worse and that we had been long time customers there. He very rudely said pork chops have bones. This was no where near the bone. Finally, he said he would take it off the bill and hastily grabbed my credit card out of my hand. Not one person apologized or asked if we wanted another meal. The waiter blamed it on the manager, the manager blamed the busboy. This is no way to run a business. As a paying customer, we did not feel they had any respect for us or for the fact that my mom did not get a meal. She had only 1/4 of the pork chop before this happened. Further, not once did anyone ask if our appetizer or meal was ok or ask if we wanted a refill of our beverages. We had to alert them that we never received water or that we needed a water refill. The last time we ate there we also had an inattentive server but saturday nights experience was the worst. I used to recommend this restaurant to every one I knew in queens and couldn't wait for my own next meal from there but after Saturday night's disrespect from the manager and waiter, I never expect to return again and would not recommend any one else going either. read more

Been going here for quite some time now and have had a number of things from the menu, ceasar salad pizza, fruti di mare, lobster ravioli, rosemary ribeye, just to name a few and everything is well prepared. Highly recommend going with fried calamari appetizer. Hidden gem if you asked me ! read more

Two hour delivery for a sicilian pie. Burnt black crust upon arrival but also cold. Sent it back with the delivery guy. When I called for a refund they told me I could just order again and a credit would be issued to my number. I told them not to bother I am never ordering from this place ever again. read more

My go to place for pizza. They do such a brisk business, their ingredients are always fresh and tasty. Best Grandma slices I've ever had. Also the mushroom pizza is so flavorful and they don't skimp on the mushrooms. However, I was disappointed by the eggplant pizza because the eggplant, although fresh, was underseasoned and bland. If they had just salted the eggplant a bit before frying them, they would have been super tasty. I try to stop in whenever I'm at the Super Stop & Shop next door. I usually order at the counter to eat there and then order extra slices to go when I leave. The pizza guy who makes the pizza is very friendly and accommodating. read more

Amazing food and service! I ordered catering for my company a few weeks ago from here and the food was incredible and the helpings per tray were very generous considering the low cost. They were very helpful on the phone what with figuring out how much to get and of what, and cooperative with my special requests. The orecchiette broccoli rabe with sausage was probably my favorite dish but the pasta bolognese was incredible too. I can't wait to actually go here and try out more of their delicious food. read more

I fI could give them less than 1 star I would. I am a great customer and order frequently. The last two orders were over cooked and tasted like cardboard, I discarded the food and took the loss. I decided to give them another chance today. I had company. I ordered a pizza and a Stromboli. I received the pizza but only a slice of Stromboli. The manager told me he could correct the order in an hour if they have a driver available.! Then proceeded to let me know it was my mistake because a Stromboli is 40.00 and did I know that?? I told him it is a ridiculous statement to make . Why would I order just a slice and if so why would they assume with an American Express card on record that price is the issue? Why assume anything? The manager was rude, condescending and it will be the last time I order their subpar food that is served with THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE in this area. read more

Pizza is great and so is the food! Buy from here every so often for a good pizza or slices. Prices are I think a bit over priced. So I don't buy as often as I would like to which I think is a good thing lol. Definitely stop in for a slice tho, I think it's better than Dani's pizza in queens. read more

Best vodka sauce! Great service fast delivery . Love the pizza they always have nice specials

PIZZA!!! I love their pizza. it is very consistent in the sauce and amount of toppings on their pizzas. and the menu has also a good selection of italian food. My friend said the meatballs were very tasty and even took the leftovers home because they were really good. Going grocery shopping to stop and shop is always a reason to stop by Pizza Classica. =) read more

Hugest slices of pizza I've ever had! One slice is more than enough and keeps me full for hours. They have so many different types of pizza to choose from. My favorite is the Buffalo Chicken slice, which is loaded with chunks of hot buffalo chicken. If you love buffalo wings and spicy food like I do, you definitely need to try this pizza! Other than pizza, they have a full menu of pastas and sandwiches and other Italian food. There is a section to sit in if you want to have a server and order from the whole menu. You can also just go up to the counter and order your pizza and bring it to a table to sit at and eat. There are a few tables outside, which is great for the spring and summer when it is nice out. The service is always great. A little slower when it's crowded, but that's expected anywhere. It is the perfect place to stop into when you're really hungry and want something quick that'll keep you full. I have never sat in the area with waiter service but I definitely plan to sometime in the future when I want to have a full sit down dinner. read more

The food is just amazing!! It's my to go pizza and everything on menu always comes out delicious! I love it

I ordered linguini with clam sauce which was delivered with the wrong sauce. They said a replacement would be sent quickly, but an hour an a half later it still didn't arrive. Bad service! read more
