SMACK MY TUSH AND CALL ME CHARLIE! THIS IS INDEED THE BEST GOSH DARN PIZZA IN TOWN!!!
Danny T.

I just had the best Sicilian slice, regular plain slice, garlic knots, and buffalo chicken slice of my entire life at R&R Pizza Connection. I can't even begin to describe how amazing and orgasmic and delicious and delectable and scrumptious this pizza is. It's like a symphony of flavors in my mouth, a masterpiece of culinary art, a gift from the gods. Let me start with the Sicilian slice. Oh my god. This is not your average Sicilian slice. This is a thick, fluffy, airy, crispy, cheesy, saucy, savory, sweet, spicy, tangy, umami bomb of a slice. The crust is perfectly baked, golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside. The cheese is gooey and stretchy and melts in your mouth. The sauce is rich and flavorful and has just the right amount of acidity and sweetness. The toppings are generous and fresh and add a nice contrast to the cheese and sauce. I had pepperoni on mine and it was crispy on the edges and juicy in the center. Every bite was pure bliss. Next up is the regular plain slice. This is what New York pizza should be like: thin but sturdy crust that holds up to the weight of cheese; tangy tomato sauce that balances out richness; gooey mozzarella that stretches as you pull away from your mouth; slightly charred edges for extra flavor; foldable yet crisp enough for some crunch; big enough for two hands but not too big for one mouthful...you get my drift? It's perfection. Now let's talk about those garlic knots...oh boy! These are not your typical dry or bland or greasy or hard garlic knots you find at most places...these are soft yet chewy yet fluffy yet moist yet buttery yet garlicky yet herby yet salty little pillows of heaven! They come hot outta oven with melted butter drizzled over them along with minced garlic & parsley sprinkled all over them...they're so good they don't even need marinara sauce (but if you want some they'll give it to ya). And last but definitely not least...the buffalo chicken slice! This might be my favorite one outta all four (and that's saying something). It's got everything I love about buffalo wings: spicy buffalo sauce mixed into creamy ranch dressing spread over thin crust topped with shredded mozzarella & chunks o' tender white meat chicken breast tossed in more buffalo sauce then finished off w/ crumbled blue cheese & chopped scallions...it's got heat it's got tang it's got creaminess it's got crunch it's got umami...it hits every note! But wait there's more! Not only does R&R Pizza Connection serve up some o' da best pizza around but they also have an amazing atmosphere & service too! The place itself has this cozy vibe w/ exposed brick walls decorated w/ vintage signs & posters from old movies & bands playing classic rock tunes overhead while friendly staff greet ya at door take yer order quickly bring yer food promptly check on ya often make sure yer happy offer refills clean up after ya thank ya sincerely wish ya well as ya leave...it feels like home away from home! And did I mention how affordable their prices are? You can get two slices plus drink for under $10 bucks which is unheard o' these days especially considering quality quantity variety freshness taste value convenience location cleanliness hospitality etc etc etc... I could go on forever about how much I love R&R Pizza Connection but words can't do justice until ya try it yourself so do yerself favor n' go there ASAP n' thank me later!

Nice family pizzeria along the Astoria/LIC border, not far from Steinway Street. I thought the pizzeria had a cool atmosphere and services and slices were decent. Would I come back? Yes!!

The Vodka-roni was the crowd favorite and the meatballs and penne were unbelievable as well. They made me look so good and were so easy to work with. We are out of town but wish this was our neighborhood pizzeria. If you can, make it a regular stop!

Best Clam Pizza! The…read morebest clam pie prior to Andrew Bellucci's was Frank Pepe's but this version with fresh shucked clams totally rocks. At $60 per pie, yes it is more than FP's version but the clam essence is front and center. The only way to eat this is as soon as you get it which is what I did. It was still flaming hot when I opened the box and I was sure I was going to burn my tongue if I went asap. The slice structure was totally intact, no flop, have to love a slice that can hold its own. Each slice was adorned with a lemon wedge at the edge but it was totally unnecessary. In hindsight I would have sprinkled some red pepper flakes but I powered through 4 slices pretty quickly before I realized the red pepper was on the table. :-) This was without a doubt, best clam pie ever. Can't love the fact that I've got to order the day before but one bite and I definitely deal with the one day notice. The ambiance was like any other pizza shop, clean and efficient. The staff were great.

Appetizer we had the Burrata, wow it was delicious, melts in your mouth so good with the tomatoes & pesto great to also dip the bread into. Main dishes I had the Gnocchi Gorgonzola e Tartufo, yumm this was so good fresh tasting gnocchi , excellent flavor to this dish one of the best truffle dishes I've had in some time, so good Hubby actually came back the next day & got me one to go! Hubby had the Agnolotti di zucca very good as well, great tasting sauce & pasta. We manage to have room left for desert we had the Pistachio & Strawberry gelatos both very good & just the right amount of sweet to end our meal. Restaurant is a good size, nicely decorated dimly lit inside good for intimate date nights, service was good. Price wise on the high side but doable, everything we had was very good, worth the try we enjoyed our meal.

The decor is simple but cozy, it seems like a place you find yourself in, in the middle of the week. The food: Anchovy Special with Arugula and Orange Supremes- Shocking how good this was, the anchovy was cooked perfectly, they were incredibly tasty without being oily. It went nicely with the arugula and the freshness of the citrus. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=WXs8evyJarabbHv9XVj6fw Melanzane alla Parmigiana- breaded eggplant, mozzarella, tomato sauce, basil. This was basically an eggplant parm and the eggplant was cooked perfectly, the cheese was ok but the sauce made this dish really tasty with the nice homemade focaccia they give you in the beginning. Branzino Special with Cannelli Beans and Swiss Chard. This was the winner of the evening. The cripsy skin was amazing. The fish was cooked to perfection, the cannelli beans I thought were going to be weird but it added a nice creaminess to the fish. Lastly the swiss chard was crunchy on the ends and nice and tender on the leaf. This should be put on the regular menu. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=xNVfJCmf89OOY-1ME3FY7Q Controfiletto- grilled prime angus N.Y. strip steak served with roasted marble potatoes. I hate to say it but as good as the steak was, the roasted potatoes was the star of show. The potatoes were amazing. Pappardelle alla Bolognese- housemade ribbon pasta, meat sauce. This was good but came off a bit plain. The pasta was homemade but it was almost to a fault since the pasta came out too soft. The flavors were good but I felt this would have been a better, reheated the next day kind of dish.

**The Coziest Spot with the Best Food Ever!**…read more Okay, I need to tell you about this little family-owned restaurant I found. It's technically a pizza place, but honestly, it's *so much more* than that. The vibe is super cozy, like you're eating at your Turkish grandma's house (if I had one). Their pizza is amazing, but what really got me were the homemade meals. They have these dishes that taste like someone's been cooking them all day just for you--like perfectly seasoned meats, fresh salads, and stuffed flatbreads that are out of this world. Everything feels so fresh and full of flavor, it's unreal. The family that runs it is SO sweet. They make you feel right at home from the second you walk in. And the best part? They're open all the best hours. Whether you want lunch, dinner, or a late-night feast, they've got you covered. It's honestly wild how good the food is here. If you're looking for something cozy, delicious, and totally different, this is the spot. I'm obsessed!

Restaurant was out of a menu item but didn't tell us until after the food was supposed to be ready, then refused a refund and sent a dessert. Caesar salad came already dressed, way too much dressing, lettuce was wilted and croutons were soggy. It's NYC and there's pizza available everywhere. How dare you charge me for this garbage. Never again.

If there was music, I didn't notice it. A must-try in Queens, especially if you're visiting the neighboring Museum of the Moving Image.

The walls also resemble subway tiles that feels like an extension of the lower level of Grand Central's oyster bar. The food was really satisfying, hearty southern Italian style pasta and pizza. The red sauce is more tangy than sweet, which I appreciate. The pasta is good, and the free bread is top notch. The prices are fair given the large portion size. The service is prompt, and the waiter will make recommendations if asked. And the ambiance is unique and interesting (see the first paragraph). Would love to host a party here, there is a large backroom that can hold about 50 people. Definitely stop by to see the decor and get some classic NY Italian eats!
