Had the oddest experience ordering from this place. I recently moved to the area, and this shop is within walking distance. The Google reviews looked great, so I gave it a try. I called ahead to order, but the man on the phone seemed shocked--he even asked twice if I was sure I was calling Prima Pizza. Strange, but I brushed it off. Fifteen minutes later, I picked up my pie and garlic knots. The pizza was small with a hard crust, and the garlic knots tasted like freezer burn. Overall, not a good experience. read more

cold pizza , the taste isn't there , . owners are nice tho . wish the pizza was better and more options

definitely dont recommend the place we ordered delivery and we live like five minutes if not less away and they made us wait an hour and a half for the wrong pie. we asked for ham and pineapple instead got bacon and pineapple and the bacon tasted and smelt so bad like it was old and i called to complain and all he was saying is its not his fault but how hes sorry. they told us 30 minute wait and it turned into 1 hr and 30 minutes just for a large pie that we didnt even bother eating read more

Melty, cheesy goodness. A saucy affair. Ooey-gooey perfection. Crispy crust, heavenly bites. A slice of heaven. Mouthwatering, slice after slice. Sensational flavors in every bite. Irresistibly delicious. In other words; "Buon appetite" read more

Prima Pizza - "Junior" cheese pie - Pizza Near Me - Queens Village, New York

I've been going to this Pizzeria for about 3 years now. about a year ago it exchanged ownership. Nothing has really changed much. The Pizza is good, Entrees as well. I've had no problems with them, whether I run in for a slice, order a pie or other foods, never an issue. Fir the last year I've been using the SLICE app and I always get my food 20 minutes before it's due, nice and hot. The delivery guy always has a smile on his face and a thank you. My experiences have been good. I would advise to use the Slice app, it's great. Like that you can see the menu and add request . read more

Expect a hosh posh of subpar quality food. With our $50 order, came many faults; - Supreme pizza missing olives. (He offered a credit.) - Hawaiian pizza w Bacon Bits topping. (He claimed that they use only 'high quality bacon'. Last I checked, Bacon Bits aren't high quality bacon but OKAY. I also mentioned that under their Yelp profile a bacon pie photo existed in what real bacon had been previously used. His response was that he cannot control who uploads what photos and that it could have been a different establishment (SURE). - 2 orders of Garlic Knots (6): Received random assortment of 2 entirely different types of garlic knots. Consistency is definitely not their forte. No marinara sauce either. When the delivery guy arrived, was told they didn't have any condiments due to lack of fulfillment (from COVID). I get it, we are in unprecedented times. Which is why I even bother to look up new places to order takeout from so that I can continue to support restaurants in my area. However the amount of mishaps that came w my order was completely inappropriate. So despite feeling bad for mom&pop spots during this time, I felt it necessary to report how unsatisfied I was. What I received from the owner was zero responsibility on his establishments part but rather kept lamenting on how excellent his business is and that it's a shame I experienced what I did but that it's unheard of. Sure. Expect much narcissistic gaslighting laments as a response to the f*ckery of Prima Pizza. There is nothing PRIMA about the way this place serves their food, fulfills orders, and most certainly not their owner. read more

Figured I would leave a comment because the owner or guy at the counter was extremely rude to me when I went the other day. I saw a sign for dollar pizza so I went in and ordered 2 ; came out to 5$. and I asked him " but the sign , says 1 dollar " .( the sign is actually a giant banner ) And he tells me I was wrong and he just leaves it up, they don't do that and do i know how to read - . But Of course .... that's why i came in ..... ( because i can read) .. and the sign said 1$ When I told him it's false advertising and he should take it down because it's confusing who were expecting a dollar slice . he continued to get louder and be very rude . If he was nicer maybe I would have paid the five dollars . but at this point I'm Never coming back doesn't seem worth it. But this comment most def seemed worth it . read more

I ordered the Lasagna from Prima Pizza and a Diet Coke. The owner Joe was real nice while he took my order over the phone and my delivery info. The delivery driver was great and real helpful, the food came in about 30 minutes after I ordered. One of the best lasagnas I've had, they threw in some garlic knots and gave me a big Diet Coke also. I will be ordering more pasta from here, the tomato sauce is glorious. read more

Prima Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Queens Village, New York

Tuesday, 6:40pm, called in for pick- up. They said it would be about a 3o-35 min wait for a Baked Ziti pie, pepperoni pie and a chicken parm hero. When I got there the staff is always very friendly and patient. They always ask if you need plates/ napkins or utensils. I inquired about one of their Italian icee flavors and they offered me a free scoop to try it. Ziti slice was cool. Could've used a bit more seasoning in the sauce, but better than a few other surrounding places. Chicken part hero- no complaints. Great size for price and a part of the few meal deals they have. Plain/ pepperoni slices- Could use a crispier crust. Hits the spot if you have a pizza craving. Garlic knots- I would prefer a better side of sauce but at the same time - these barely need them. Sometimes I only come here for these. *They also sell Italian icees with a variety of flavors!* read more

Good little place with a selection of different types of slices. Prices are reasonable and its an old style pizza shop. Will be back again.

Not very satisfied. So I only ordered a pizza pie with mushrooms. I was delivered a plain pizza pie instead. I called about the error and they told me they would swap the pizza with the right one and throw in free garlic knots. Waited another half hour and I was delivered the right pizza but no garlic knots (darn). To top it off, I opened the pizza box and saw that they threw in some chopped garlic mixed with the mushroom! what???! Is that what they meant? I could have sworn I heard "garlic knots on the house." Anyways, pizza didn't wow me (especially when my teeth bit into those garlic. YUCK!). Lesson learned. Next time I won't be lazy and will make the trip to walk to Papa Johns instead (it's only 2 blocks away from my place). read more

Ordered pizza from here on Tuesday February 18,2020 based on some coupons they left in my building vestibule. Pizza: I got a large pepperoni and bacon pie. The pie has 8 slices which are all a good size. The pizza is very good and I'm only sad that I've passed this place many times without giving it a second thought. Wings: We got the bbq flavor which was good and they gave an even amount of flats to drumsticks. Cost: The deal was for wings and a 2 Liter soda for $21.99. The cost went up to $28 with the toppings. Delivery: The delivery took a while but I wasn't starving so it was fine. They told me the time frame to expect and the pizza came within that window. The delivery guy was very nice and professional. Bonus: we got some garlic knots for free wiith our order! They were so good!!! read more

i called to redeem my receipts for a special free pizza ..if you spent $140.00..which i did . i was speaking to the owner..as he was speaking with another person ..not paying attention. i patiently waited i explained i would like to have the pizza delivered he shouted you have to speed an additional $10.00 .i stated it does not say that on my reveipts the got louder and stated hey im working my ass off...and hung up . he is disrespectful to customers and employees ..he is starting to deliver orders late and old food especially pizza .this owner can't keep employees because he is rude and disrespectful to everyone .probably has mental issues read more

I wish I can give a negative star . What a horrible customer service . The fact that the owner never thinks he is wrong . Shocks me ! Not only do they mess up your order but the ask for the order back ... ew , makes me think they resale the pie . I'm from around the neighborhood and I talking to people who had the same experience does not surprise me . Will never order again . read more

We get pizza from this place often and every time I eat it it's super oily and the garlic knots are either a ball of oil or doughy. This pizza is like a wanna be classic New York style slice. Hopefully they improve read more

Just moved in the area this past week, decided to try the pizza since this place is walking distance, I got a meat lovers slice, and a Sicilian slice, Was VERY GOOD, Was very pleased and I will definitely be back again and again. read more

This is a solid pizza spot! I've been going here for years. My church is located across the street and they've always been very accommodating and offer pretty good prices. read more

This pizza place is so small but welcoming. Has been my neighborhood pizzeria since childhood. I like coming here and order their salads, wings and pizza. The one time I decided to try a shrimp Alfredo it was so yummy. The sauce was so tasty and fresh. The shrimp had the perfect amount of seasoning. Will be coming back definitely but maybe not for shrimp alfredo since it's heavy on the stomach for me but the wings are so yummy and juicy. They also give big containers of blue cheese for the wings. read more

I was on my way to Queens Village to pick up my godson and was STARVING!! After we got there, my boyfriend, who was also HANGRY at this point, spotted this little pizzeria and went to get a pie. It was taking so long I wanted to cry, but after realizing that we were waiting longer than usual, one of the guys gave us some fresh garlic knots to enjoy while we waited. When I tell y'all these garlic knots were DIVINE!! I don't use that word often, but omg they were so good! After devouring the garlic knots, we ordered some to go (12 for $3.50) and got our pie and were on our merry way. YOU GUYSSSSSSS when I tell you this pizza was so goooooooooddddddd! I live in Brooklyn, NY, about a 45 minute drive away from Prima Pizza, but I will definitely make the trip again just to get this pizza! They also have some amazing special going on for the rest of February so get it while it's HOT! read more

Been coming for 20+ years. Never gets old. Joe is the owner who usually is always at the counter and gives the best customer service! I usually call ahead an place an order for a pie and it takes no more than 15 mins. Love love love!! read more

Delivery man must have spilled my food. The panini was unwrapped the chicken was uncovered and sauce spilled in box. Accidents happen but why continue with the delivery? It was evident that the delivery guy tried to put the food back in their containers. I am waiting for a resolution. read more

Just gotta say... I came here a few months back and I was waiting on my order. The owner (Joe?) was sitting at one of tables eating. These 3 teenagers come in, one of them had his pants sagging down to his knees. The owner was like "Hey, pull your pants up! There's a lady in here!" LMAO XD Seriously, love this guy. Great sense of humor - and best pizza in NYC! Prima is #1! :) ~ By the way... to all the other reviewers complaining about the fact that the slices are $2 - DEAL WITH IT. Go to any other pizzeria in NYC and you'll be paying $2.50 and up, so $2 is actually a pretty good deal. This is 2015, not 1985! Get with the times! The prices here are unbeatable, especially for the kind of quality you're getting. read more

Terrible and should be shut down. Absolutely intolerable. Order took 3 hours and person on the phone hung up on me. read more

My cousin showed me this place, to show me what a classic NY pizza was like. I was amazed when I tried the regular cheese slice. It was simple and beautiful. It was packed full of flavor and undoubtedly the best slice I had in NYC thus far. It is everything you've seen in the movies as a kid, everything you would hope NYC pizza would be. This is my NYC pizza temple. For the record, I've had better pizza in Queens than I have in any other borough, people just don't know what they're missing out on! read more

The award-winning chicken wings of Prima Pizza is not only tasty but TENDER unlike majority of the chicken wings I had anywhere in the 48 contiguous States during my cross-country drive this summer 2019. No restaurant big, small, fine dining or cheap eats could match Prima Pizza's delightful chicken wings. It's THE BEST in the USA, and it is near my neighborhood. Given that the NYC DOT (shame on DOT) does nothing about the moon crater-like Braddock Avenue in Bellerose for a decade, it is advisable to approach Prima Pizza on 222nd St. read more

My family has had Prima's 3 times since moving here - delicious and generous pizzas. The cheese, the veggie and the Grandma Traditional are excellent. Joe gave us a complimentary batch of fresh, hot garlic knots which were a treat. We have enjoyed the neighborhood atmosphere when we eat in there; and my kids like the Italian Ices. read more

I grew up with Prima Pizza and they've been our go to for pizza and Italian ices since I was in first grade. In fact I even remember when they had $1 slices. But now when I'm 24 it feels as if that was Prima Pizza's golden era. Nowadays the pizza doesn't live up to the qualitative standards whatsoever. It really makes me sad because Braddock avenue hardly had any good food. This was the only place I loved and had memories with. But now it really sucks. I hardly go there anymore. Prima Pizza always used to stood out. They need to step up there game and go back in time to when there pizza was really good. read more

It's not as clean as it used to be but the pizza is still amazing and let's be honest, you want the pizza. For years it has been good and I'm glad that hasn't changes. The owner is still nice and the service is still great. Can't go wrong with this spot. read more

Always the fresh ingredients for their toppings, love to get green peppers, onions and pineapples. Also, got the meat lovers for a UFC party...gone in 60 seconds. They recently extended their menu for catering, order a whole pan of dishes for a party. Great place, great owner always welcomes you and by name if you call in. Wonderful local treat if you're in the area. read more

Food is good but there delivery guys suck I order food at 8:10 it's 10 to 10 and it's still not here and I'm two blocks away read more

They never get the order right, and the fat guy that does the delivery is clueless. My order was constantly late and in most cases wrong. Then they tried to ban my purchases because I wouldn't comply with paying the tip in advance. They denied my credit card purchase of $13 because I didn't pay the tip of $1 real petty for crappy service. read more

I grew up with Prima Pizza and they've been our go to for pizza and Italian ices for years. In fact I even remember when they had $1 slices. But it feels as if that was Prima Pizza's golden era. Nowadays the pizza doesn't live up to the qualitative standards whatsoever. Even though Joe tried to expand the menu with pastas and such, it's to no avail since the pizza itself has suffered in quality. It really makes me sad because Braddock avenue is already a desert of sorts when it comes to take out. Prima Pizza always stood out. And it does now too, because of Joe. Although I fear for what'll happen when he decides to retire. Generally fast service and delivery, crumbling quality of food. A neighborhood gem gasping for breath past its prime. read more

Just had a prima pizza supreme delivered by ubereats and it was great! Perfectly cooked. Slightly crispy crust. Everything tasted fantastic and Fresh! read more

Worst customer service ever. Me and my bf ordered from here and they forgot our soda. They delivery guy said he would come right back for it. 15 minutes passed and nothing, so we called back. They said the driver is on his way. Well guess what ??? They never came back!!! Never coming here again read more

Giving four stars cuz it's my local pizza spot and I have great memories here. When I was little their pizza was always delicious and they had great specials...like dollar pizza!! It was always a good time but not sure if it's the same. They got my order messed up over the phone twice and when we went to pick up the pizza it was messed up and they still made us take.the pizza and pay. The pizza was good so it wasn't that big of an issue...but still. read more

My local pizzeria conveniently located right across the street from where I live! Thankfully, the food is amazing! I am obsessed with their penne alla vodka with grilled chicken it's my go to, for the most part! The pizza is great too, but pasta is my weakness. I also love the hot sandwiches like the shrimp or chicken Parmesan! The service is great. This is a local business and the owner is usually always present and him and his crew are always nice and sometimes throw in extra garlic knots for the orders! If you're ever around the area, definitely try this place and again, I highly recommend the penne alla vodka and chicken parmesan, the portions are huge and don't match the price you pay it's totally worth it!! read more

Great pizza!! The only problem is when ordering through Grub Hub. When the pizza is delivered, the delivery person has no idea that the order was already paid online through Grub Hub. The delivery person needs to be informed of who has already paid and who owes money. It's awkward when you are getting food delivered and the delivery person is waiting for money when you paid already. read more
