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.

My husband and I come here a LOT - it's our favorite pizza place in the neighborhood... However…read morewe've been having some very bad experiences lately that I can no longer ignore. On Tuesday, we came in and ordered a total of 3 slices. We waited for about 15 minutes and realized we had been waiting for waaay too long (especially since we saw the 2 people who ordered after us enjoying their slices). Turns out they forgot to prepare our slices... So we waited longer while they began to prepare them. The employee apologized and gave us an extra slice on the house, so we left it at that. HOWEVER, we're back here again today (not even a week later) and guess what? They forgot to prepare our slices AGAIN! Twice within one week?? And, sadly, it was different staff this time. Seems like there is a HUGE issue with their system... Not sure how they're keeping track of the orders as they take them, but whatever they're doing isn't working. We walk an extra distance to get pizza from here as we really do love the food, however I am so tired of the staff constantly forgetting to prepare the food we've paid for. Looks like we'll be taking a break from here for a while.

I feel like it was subpar.

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.

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.

This particular slice has a thick crust, which is not very common in Astoria. The crusts they use vary between slices - some have thin crust, others have thick crust. It's a good balance of options, especially if you're with a group of people who are picky and need some variety. My husband and I have been here multiple times since moving into the area, and the guys behind the counter are always nice and get your slices out fairly quickly. Plus, they're open fairly late, which is a bonus when we're in the mood for a late evening slice. Worth checking out!

The pizza was too thin for my liking, the extra cheese was odd and the pepperoni wasn't even crispy ... all in all the service was good and they have a whole menu aside from the pizza. We got two extra cheese slices, a slice with extra cheese and pepperoni, an order of garlic knots and 2 cans of coke for $18. I would definitely come back for those garlic knots though! Crispy and garlicky... that's the way to my heart. Thank you Rizzo's! You are a staple in Astoria! Period.

I have beautiful memories of mom picking me up from elementary school and bringing me a slice (corner, of course!) of my fave Sicilian slice. Nothing compares to Rizzo's for me and I'm so grateful that my daughter who is now 20 has also had the privilege to eat their delicious pizza while growing up! She used to love their shaved Italian ices in the orange flavor :) during the summer months (not sure they still offer that as I live down by ditmars). You guys are truly the best and thank you so much for still being around! Cheers to many more years to come!

**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!

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!
