I recently ordered takeout from Prince's Umberto's while checking into an Airbnb, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The delivery was fast, the food arrived hot, and everything was packaged with great care. I ordered the Chicken Piccata, and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The addition of artichokes elevated the dish and complemented the flavors perfectly. It was outstanding. We also ordered two pasta dishes: the Mushroom Sauce Pasta with Chicken (spaghetti) and the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken. Both were excellent. As someone who is very particular about Alfredo sauce, I can confidently say this was one of the best versions I've had--rich, creamy, perfectly balanced, and incredibly flavorful. On the side, we ordered a Caesar salad, broccoli rabe, and sautéed spinach. Every single item was fresh, well-prepared, and delicious. The bread deserves a special mention as well--it was phenomenal. Considering the quality, portion sizes, and overall experience, this was a 5/5 meal across the board and an incredible value for the price. Prince's Umberto's delivered restaurant-quality food with excellent service and attention to detail. We will absolutely be ordering again. Thank you! read more

Ordered veal milanese. it came covered and drowned in red sauce. thought milanese was served breaded and fried... crispy. this had no crispness whatsoever as it was drowned in sauce. read more

The pizza is disgusting! From the dough tasting not fully cooked to the sauce that came directly out of a can!!! The sausage tasted like parks sausage and almost as small If that's the best pizza you can produce just so making it remove it from your menu. read more

I've tried all the pizza places in this area and haven't been really happy with any of them. Then I tried Prince Umbertos in the shopping center, 2 pepperoni slices. This is excellent pizza. It reminds me of the Umbertos in New Hyde Park...very good pizza ....good ingredients ...great crust ...highly recommend. read more

Amazing delicious Italian food . Great appetizers.Fantastic desserts a must try by all. Lee& Joe

I love love looove that Prince Umbertos participates on the To Good to Go app! That's actually how I found them. Basically the apps partner with local restaurants to eliminate food waste. You purchase a surprise bag and show up in the hour/half hour before closing to pick up your surprise so the restaurant doesn't have to throw the food out. I got 4 slices of pizza and a rice ball. Not too bad for $4! And guess what? All delicious. I have a Sicilian slice when I got home and my family gobbled the rest of the goods the next day. I hope more restaurants get involved with the app, so happy to see some local spots. They were great at following covid protocols and really friendly. The pickup was a breeze and the man at the register was patient and helped me in the right direction. Yum and fun read more

1 star for taping the pizza box. Similar to the NYC dollar slice. Got 4 slices to go about an hour ago, and it was pretty bad, not even average. Small slice, zero taste, hard(not crunchy, just hard) crust. I will absolutely never go back here again. Garbage pizza read more

I don't remember my take out date. I remember ordering food for lunch while I was at work because it rained really bad and I do take a walk in most weather but tried to go outside and just couldn't. I didn't want to come back drenched and still having to work for a few hours with no change of clothes. I was impressed by the gluten free options it's exciting to have gluten free calzones and gluten free mozarella sticks on the menu. However when I got my food it was just okay. I wouldn't say it was awful but I wouldn't rave over it either. I definitely give them props for having so many gluten free options. read more

Prince Umbertos - Pizza Near Me - Franklin Square, New York

I've been coming here my entire life starting in the 80s & I've always been beyond satisfied, so f Dave Portnoy! Whatever you get is great & I've always enjoyed the sausage & peppers hero, calzones, chicken roll, regular pie & potato croquettes. Get a side of sauce and you won't regret it! read more

Pretty solid pizza. Good amount of specialty slices, calzones, stromboli and rolls in the display counter. Nothing to complain about but nothing out of this world either. Chicken vodka and chicken marsala slices were both good. Had the stromboli, chicken roll and sausage roll in the past and they were good as well. They have a tent set up outside to accommodate outdoor dining which seems like it takes up a fair amount of parking, but it was just too damn cold to sit outside. Definitely not worth making a 3 hour drive to visit, but if you're in the neighborhood, there's nothing really you won't like. read more

Prince Umberto's doesn't disappoint as expected for some quick take out pizza. Hot, fresh and delicious. Can typically never go wrong with any of the Umberto's restaurants but I particularly enjoy this one for ordering out. read more

About two weeks ago my wife ordered over the phone a pie with half plain & half barbeque chicken pizza. The plain half was ok, but the barbeque chicken half had big chunks of dry chicken embedded in cheese and almost no BBQ sauce, making it pretty much tasteless. She also ordered 4 pints of gelato. The plastic cups in which gelato came were definitely smaller than a pint, and there was a lot of empty spaces inside between ice cream scoops. Today she called in and ordered a pie with half meatball & half pepperoni. There wasn't much meatball on the pie and the pizza looked like it was made without care. She also ordered 4 pints of gelato, and she told the girl who took her order about the fact that the last time gelato came in much smaller cups than a pint. Again, 3 out of 4 gelatos today were much less than a pint each. I feel that we're being ripped off here, being charged for a pint of gelato and getting much less than a pint. We will not be ordering from Prince Umberto's again. read more

The bomb white bean and escarole soup. absolutely delicious. perfect with bread dip.

the food is descent. It's the service.....went there for my daughter's 9 bday.....order and ate dinner and paid 53$.......We brought a small very small cake as a celebration When we took the small cake the waitress said they will charge us. We said ok, she said let me ask the manager....she comes up with a 3$ per person...for cutting a small personal pan size cake ..... ...........that's not a good way to do business.....i refuse to pay 3$ person after having a 53$ family dinner read more

I went here after grabbing boba from swan crepes deciding that some pasta and pizza would be a fantastic addition to swap up my night. All in all, we ordered penne a la vodka with chicken cutlet, rigatoni with Alfredo sauce and shrimp, and baked ravioli with extra marinara. All parties involved, including the pickiest person of our group,was satisfied. We were able to have outdoor seating, and those heating lamps made SUCH a difference!!!! In addition to great food, they did boozy lemonade and blue raspberry slushees for us!! We'll be returning, 100%! read more

Very good food! spaghetti and meatballs are delicious! This service is very nice and friendly.

I used to go here for lunch all the time. Ordered delivery tonight. Yuck. No flavor whatsoever. Got potato croquettes and they actually tasted like soapy ? No flavor. Potato and egg parm hero. Yuck. No potatoes and no flavor. Pizza blah. Guess they lost their spices. Just totally disappointed... what happened to this place? read more

I was looking to order a grandma pie on short notice and tried Prince Umberto's instead of my normal pizzeria. I'm highly dissatisfied with the look and taste of the pizza. This is not what a grandma pizza is supposed to be and one piece of basil on each slice is simply just not enough. I ordered through DoorDash but if I had picked this up from the restaurant itself I would've brought it right back. It's safe to say I won't be ordering again. read more

Great relaxing atmosphere with good Italian food. Try the Grandpa pizza and an antipasto! Veal Michael is a superb dish.

Pizza for DELIVERY is reheated. Third time it happened. Crust was like a rock and the bottom was coated with oil. Look at the residue after throwing out all but two slices. If you want pizza from there pick it up or have it in house do not order pizza for delivery especially during busy lent season. You will get old reheated pizza. read more

Prince Umbertos - Reheated pizza. Oil residue covering bottom of the box - Pizza Near Me - Franklin Square, New York

I came in on the late afternoon and stayed to the early evening, because I felt so welcomed,, this establishment has been owned and operated by the same family for nearly 50 years, they are the original owners,, and the food the weathers tasted the way that's prepared. It's almost like you were invited to somebody's house, and they are cooking in the kitchen,, Half of the restaurant has a pizzeria on one side, and the other side is the formal dining room with Bar,, It was a pleasant experience with Mary Jo.. she was fantastic. Service was great, her personality, very friendly, very warm, by the time the night was over, you feel like you've known her for 20 years, they have many locals that come to this establishment. Often, I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce who has been eating there for over 20 years,, all the food was delicious. there isn't anything I would change the food was very good, they even have traditional tripe, which a lot of restaurants don't have,, stop by eating here you feel like more that you're at someone's house as a guest, rather than eating at a restaurant,, The meatballs were absolutely juicy, tender a lot of taste, love the sausages,, I ordered stuffed peppers for an appetizer and I ate the whole thing,, The chicken cutlet all of vodka was fantastic, the sauce was creamy, With mushrooms and peas, really a meal within itself,, loved the tartufo ,, come by to this Franklin Square institution. If you haven't already, you won't be disappointed, five stars all around the decor, the service, the food and the ambience,, I even noticed the owners who were there very kind of people you could show they take. Pride and ownership read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this amazing gem. I am a gf gal and often do not have high hopes for gf options when eating Italian. The gal at the entrance had me at ravioli when she started listing MANY options that I could eat. This was the beginning of a new fav for me. I also ordered gf meatballs to go with. I was really hungry that day and I was greatly satisfied. I even got a spoon to finish off all that deliciousness. You can taste the Italian love. Prior to leaving I ordered garlic knots and a meatball roll to bring home for my son. Needless to say... "Molto bene!" Y "Grazie" read more

Ambiance and wait staff: this place is the traditional pizzeria and Italian restaurant attached to it. You can order a few slices or sit down with wait service. They redid the restaurant portion fairly recently. We came and just ordered a few slices and sat in the pizzeria. This place is a mom and pop shop, everyone in there is always speaking Italian and grandma is always sitting in the back, I love it ! Food: we ordered the regular triangle, white slice, rice ball, garlic knots with sauce and a vodka slice. The white slice is amazing. Had big chunks of ricotta, so good! And their regular slice is very good too! The sauce isn't too sweet, it's really cheesy and delicious! The rice balls are good, just rice and cheese inside and crisp on the outside, very good! The knots are okay, I like them super dense, they were a little more of the fluffy side. Will definitely be back for pizza and maybe to sit in the restaurant area. Happy eating! Nicole read more

'FRESHER IS ALWAYS BETTER!" Prince Umberto Pizzeria & Restaurant 721 Franklin Ave, Franklin Square, NY 11010 Today 10/26/2023, I took my Honey for lunch for the first time to Prince Umberto's in Franklin Square, NY. We both love good home made Italian food. I read some nice reviews, checked out their menu online and saw items we both like to eat, so to not far away Franklin Square we went! It was about 2;30 pm when we got there, the pizzeria side was busy but the dinning area side was wasn't busy at all, and that's exactly where we wanted to go. Our waiter and server Johnathan greeted us and sat us at a nice comfortable table. I ordered something for my Honey and I to drink, nothing with alcohol, while we looked over the menu. I told Johnathan we were going to first try a few appetizers, and after that, if we were still hungry we would order something else. I asked Johnathan, please, DO NOT bring us all the food at once, as so many other restaurants seem to want to do! All that food at once just overwhelms you, plus sitting there, the food just gets cold before you get to eat it. Johnathan said, not a problem, tell me what to bring you, and I will bring it when you tell me, YES! We started off first with Littleneck Clams on the half shell, then we had whole backed clams that were just made, nice and piping hot, and so, so, delicious. Next we enjoyed a nice size pot of mussels cooked with white wine and garlic, Johnathan brought us their just baked HOT pizza dough bread with butter on the side, it was excellent especially when we were dunking the bread into the mussel juice! After that my Honey and I had to try their Trippa Napoletana, we both love tripe! This tripe with the sauce made at Prince Umberto's was so good, my Honey had to take some home! It had no potatoes, no peas, just tender cooked tripe in a delicious mild sauce, which I was also enjoying on the hot pizza dough bread too. Just delicious. Wow! While were eating, the owner, and the chef came over to us a couple of times to ask if everything was okay and to our liking, and if we needed anything else, which was very nice of them to do. We now were both pretty full, but I had to check out their dessert menu first, before we left. I spotted their Italian ice cream Tartufo, and my Honey spotted the Tiramisu. We suddenly found a little space to tackle dessert, OMG! They both were so yummy! Now as far as prices go in this day and age of high prices, this restaurant has very, very, fair prices for quality fresh food! And I might add, this is one of the very few restaurants that is not charging any extra fee for using your credit card, I hope they can continue doing that, we shall see? We shall return for sure. Their food was so good, and freshly cooked to order, just as if we were home, it was a delight to go to Prince Umberto's in Franklin Square today! Johnathan did an excellent job taking good care of us. And if I am going write an honest review, which I am, I have one wish, we both love clams on the half shell, ice cold. The clams on the half shell we had today were really fresh, but they were room temperature and not cold at all? I wish they can serve them ice cold, the next time we come. All in all, Prince Umberto's still gets 5 stars! One tip for all, go for lunch or early dinner, You will have plenty of space in their dining room! read more

So I'm not about leaving bad reviews especially when folks are having such a hard time during covid. The food was tasty tasty didn't have an issue there. However 15.99 for a a couple dollars worth of pasta and some sauce is a bit much. So instead of having a customer that will return you have one posting a poor review and will likely not return. I have no-issue paying if I'm getting what I payed for. An extra bit of pasta would have netted a return customer and likely a positive review. Before tax delivery fee and tip this was 26 dollars and change after adding fees close to 42 read more

This is the best pizza I've ever had. Period! I'm 73 and the Sicilian pizza is just a spectacular creation ! I've had pizza all over the world but this is divine . A perfect crust with ample tomato sauce and delicious fresh mozzarella. We order it with an appetizer of meatballs (2 per order) And then the calamari .. arrived hot and fresh . Sorry, I can't give you a wider menu review .. but I ALWAYS order the same things. I just moved here from California and have tried many delivery restaurants . This is at the top of the list read more

Horrible service. People were rude and talk very freely. Not my favorite pizza place and the food is just ok.

Whoa, back to back takeouts for us. The Sicilian pie hasn't been a hit at home. Our daughter also liked their mini pie and the garlic knots. Her words: not super garlic-y so that's good! Quick delivery with everything still piping hot. Quality ingredients that shine with each bite. Glad we decided to check them out. We are fans! Looking forward to trying out the rest of the menu and maybe getting a bite of one of the knots if I'm lucky! read more

Prince Umberto's is the best Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria! We have been going here for many years. We love the food, the management and the staff. Everyone is so nice and friendly. The lasagna, penne alla vodka, chicken marsala, pizza, potato croquets, salads, calzones, are some of our favorites. The food is always fresh and delicious! read more

I used to buy food from here all the time and their pizza sauce was one of the best I've tried as well. However, my past two experiences have repulsed me enough to never order food from here again. I found hair in my food on two separate occasions and I'm so disappointed. They need to fire whoever is in their kitchen! read more

We are very fortunate to have Prince Umbertos in our neighborhood. No one else comes close to the quality of food and service!
