Solid 4! We haven't been inside here for years. Yesterday we stopped by after a day at the pool and it was honestly just ok ... 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. read more

I am a born and bred Astorian, still residing in Astoria, and I absolutely cherish and adore my Rizzo's Pizzeria. 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! read more

Rizzo's Pizza - Square Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Astoria, New York

There's nothing wrong with Rizzo's pizza, but it's really just okay. There are so many other stand out pizza options in the area that have far surpassed this place, and it feels like Rizzo's has just been left behind. Before coming here recently for their dollar slice promotion in partnership with GrubHub recently, I hadn't been to Rizzo's since I first moved to Astoria in 2011. The shop itself is an absolute time capsule. Nothing has changed save for the updated menu board. The ambiance here is outdated pizza place which would be totally A-OK with me if the pizza was really outstanding. I think for me the real hang up is the crust. It just has no taste to it at all, and it's pretty dry. Sauce and cheese ratio is perfectly fine. I would come back to try some of their more interesting looking topping combos. Service was pleasant enough. read more

Loved visiting this shop that's been around since 1959. Employees were super nice and helpful. I tried their classic square and it was a bit dry, but had a nice sauce. There are a number of tables inside for seating, typical pizzeria atmosphere. read more

I have been going to Rizzos pizza for over 50 years! I ate dinner there tonight and the pizza was better them ever! The sauce and cheese were perfect on every slice! Simply the best read more

Good price for tastefully pizza, people are very kind and patient and have well manners.

The pizza is literally a big cracker with cheese and sauce. I like thin crust pizza but this is ridiculous.

I've eaten from this joint for over 30 years. Best pizza ever. Thin crispy crust homemade suave quality mozzarella. Small family open joint. Best ever and an Astoria icon. Don't listen to the naysayers. read more

I would say not my kind of pizza, but the crust was not it to the point where I'd question if they're using pizza dough. The most rubbery chicken I've ever eaten, and the garlic knots were alright. read more

When I was in Astoria, NY visiting, we got delivery and this pizza was recommended and I know why! This was my second time having NY pizza in NY and it didn't let me down! The crust of both our pizzas was crisp, flakey, chewy and amazing! We stuck to the basic pizzas vs specialty this time, but I would try a bunch of the others in the future! We got a classic pepperoni and a cheese with chicken and basil pesto. Oh yes and garlic knots! I wish I was back in NY to have more! I will be back and definitely recommend!!! read more

Came here on a whim. Ordered their cauliflower personal pizza. The pizza was okay but nothing spectacular. The service was quick. At the time we were there, plenty of tables were available. No bathroom. I wouldn't come back unless I am in the area and dying of hunger. Probably better pizza elsewhere. read more

Rizzo's Pizza - Cauliflower personal pizza - Pizza Near Me - Astoria, New York

I've been going to this pizza place anytime I'm on steinway. Its small so on a packed day you will not get a seat. I used to love that they had RC cola, the most delicious soda ever. I was excited to see that they deliver now. Their pizza I admit taste better fresh out of the oven. I recommend dinning there rather than order. I gave them 5 stars because I know that the pizza is better in person. But don't get me wrong it was still warm and taste fresh. The people who work here have always been very nice to me. This really is one in one of my top 10 pizza places in Queens. I've been going to them for a little over 30 years now. You definitely have to get the square pizza its by far the best one you can eat. They do not have a bathroom on site or rather I never had to use one when I was there. read more

Yato was pleasured to find that the pizza wasn't bad. Yato found out the place was under new ownership. Yato was worried, as the past few times Yato ate here, it was DISGUSTING. Yato thinks maybe they gave him soggy pizza from the dumpster of Gyro Uno. Crust seemed too thick to be their own leftovers. But this time? Solid. Nice amount of cheese and the pepperonis. Yato was surprised. He ordered expecting at best mid, and this was a solid night. Yato could almost shed a tear. Pie was still too small for the $20 price tag, but Yato took the bullet. If it was editable, Yato isn't going to complain too much. Yato will order again soon and see if it was a fluke. Be prepared for an update. read more

Rizzo's has been one of my fave pizzas in Astoria for years and they evolve w/ the times offering gluten free and vegan options They have a gluten free cauliflower crust that's crispy and can hold lots of toppings. And vegan cheese if you want it. The gluten free crust feels like it's homemade and has herbs in it. My only beef is it's price $25 for a speciality gf pizza which has toppings and about $20 for a gf cheese pizza and it's only about 10 inches The staff is always nice. I usually do pick up so can't speak about delivery read more

I I had this delivered :) enjoyed their cauliflower crust pizza! It was very tasty and the sauce was perfect. I got the eggplant and ricotta pizza. Very much enjoyed it. Their Arugula salad was also really good and filling ! read more

I stopped by Rizzos today and they were offering the square slice for 62 cents. Yes, 62 cents including tax! I ordered 2 of them and the total was 1.24. This was a pleasant surprise since I usually pay at least 2.50 for a regular slice. But note that's this was a special for today, it's not something they offer on a regular basis. It was ok. Tasty but I wish it had more cheese. The dough was good. Staff is friendly and the place has many indoor seats. read more

I ordered through Grubhub. Kept getting updates with a later delivery time. Finally after over 2 hours Rizzo's canceled the order due to a delivery problem. Why did it take so long? They couldn't even call or go e more Info. Getting too late to order from some place else because bt the time I get it it will be too late for me to eat that close to bedtime. I due to medical issues I need time foe my food to digest and have to get up at 6am If you want to wait all night and MAYBE get your food take a chance. Wish i could give 0 stars read more

If you're in the mood for pizza but don't want to load yourself up with carbs then this pizza place is for you. I was fortunate enough to try a few different slices and each one is unique in taste but all of them had one thing in common and that is their dough are super thin (and I mean THIN!!). This also include the crust as well. I also tried their pin wheel bitesize pizza (pepperoni and their spinach) and that was really good. I can see myself eating them for breakfast to be honest, esp with a cup of coffee on the side. Overall I like this place. With so much competition out there, their thin pizza slice does stand out so if you happen to be in the neighborhood and you're looking to cheat on your keto diet but don't want to feel too guilty about it, then this pizza joint is definitely one you should hit up. read more

I have been coming to Rizzo's for the last year or so and have been consistently happy with the quality of the food, the speed of delivery, and the efficient service. As far as delivery, i have always called and ordered from them directly and have had my pizza within the hour. If you go in and order a pie the wait is about 20 minutes. I always get the bbq chicken pizza no bacon and its so goooood. The chicken is sliced super thin and there's a good amount of sauce. If you want something to reheat maybe ask for extra sauce because it will dry out. The garlic rolls are UNREAL. Sometimes they're sold out so im always happy when they have them. The plain slice, square slice, and pepperoni slice are solid; but again the bbq chicken is so good, i always order a large of it! read more

I had a TGTG bag from here, and boy did they stack me up. They gave a range of white and red pizzas, and even 4 pinwheels. My favorites were the white/ricotta slice and the pepperoni cheese pinwheels (the slight spiciness was a nice touch). I would come back here for a full priced meal whenever I feel like pizza. read more

Got a regular cheese slice and a slice with bbq chicken and onions. They currently have a special for the summer of 2019 - 60 cents square cheese slices. They're a bit tiny so I decided to go with the regular slice. They have a lunch special every day from 11-3 for different slice combos with pizza. They are a cash only establishment that is undergoing renovations. They also offer Italian ices. Onto the actual review, the crust was so thin on the regular cheese slice that as I was eating it it kinda just broke into two pieces. Instead of being able to fold my pizza and eat it, I had to pick it up from the tray. The chicken bbq pizza fared a better in terms of the crust but the bbq sauce was not spread out evenly. Guy at counter was super nice though. read more

Rizzo's Pizza - Cheese slice with bbq chicken and onion slice total: $4.50 - Pizza Near Me - Astoria, New York

Good tasting pizza located on Steinway Street /30th Avenue. Not the best pizza or as great as the print media would make you think. Good nonetheless cause I could actually taste the ingredients. The lunch special I ordered was 2 pizza slices and a can of Coke for $8 . For some stupid reason I chose the buffalo chicken slice and my brother had a cheese slice. I regretted it and ordered a cheese slice expecting to pay full price with no problem. The counter person said you only have to pay a $1 more cause there is a 3 pizza slice deal for $9 and I already paid $8. The young lady appearing to be in her teens (JC) provided great service from the start. The pizza slices here are extremely small and thin. If you want pizza as a meal here I say no. As a snack or an appetizer I say yes. read more

Last night I ordered the Calabria Stromboli. If you love garlic like me - this is a must. It is filled with eggplant, roasted red peppers, cheese and garlic. It was so good, I hated that I only ordered one! I also ordered the Bandiera square pie, named that because it is made with the colors of the Italian flag : plentiful amount of delicious spinach, mozzarella and ricotta, and a rich tomato sauce. It was so good, and luckily only two of us were eating it so I have some leftover slices to enjoy today and tomorrow for lunch!!! So good! I have been a patron of Rizzo's for over 30 years from just the cheese slices which I still love, to all their gourmet pies. They have added alot of new things to the menu and I am excited to try their new selections. Also just wanted to comment on the delivery - I have never had a problem when I ordered through the phone (calling Rizzo's directly) which they are always very nice and will give you an ETA in when it your order will arrive and also you can order through the Rizzo's site which I did last night and had no issues. Delivery was prompt, took about 30 mins but I didn't order much. Anyway Rizzo's is worth the wait. Thank you for an amazing meal! read more

I cannot rave enough about this place. It is small...and so are the slices...I get it...but well worth it. I've been going here for about 30 years and my Parents event longer. That says something. The popular slice is square, homemade sauce, thin, and one slice of cheese. Extremely delicious. Plus to boot they have RC cola on tap. If you're in the area grab 2-3 slices. You will not be disappointed. read more

Overall, this was a good, thin crust pizza and I'm always appreciative of restaurants that offer vegan options. Rizzo's offers all of their pies with vegan cheese and that's awesome! Because the crust is so thin and they go fairly light on the cheese (both vegan and dairy), it was not very filling. It was all very tasty though, so I'd go back if I wanted to eat a somewhat lighter meal. Service was very friendly and the music was quite loud, so be prepared if dining in. Update: went back for the square pizza and really liked it! My friend and I did the deal for two square specialty pizzas for $26. I got the vegan primavera and she got something with meat. The crust is a lot thicker than the round and it was a lot more filling. We had plenty of leftovers! read more

Rizzo's Pizza - Vegan Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Astoria, New York

Ordered a pepperoni, ricotta and mushroom cauliflower pizza which is something that isn't common in Pizzerias but when I received it, $27.50 later (not including tip and tax), it was more of a personal sized pie than I expected it to be, so it didn't fill my partner and I up. Flavor was good which is why I am giving it 3 stars but it's pretty expensive for the size. Just something to think about if you crave a healthier alternative. read more

My first plain slice at Rizzo's was like the most beautiful memory of my first frozen pizza as a kid. How simple and slight in looks but remarkable in a robust taste. An excellent value at lunch. $2 for your pick of any slice and a small soda! They're remodeling. It's still basically a small takeout place but now there's freshly painted white walls, wooden booths and white tile accents. read more

Love the original square slices. Staff is very friendly. The location is a good spot. Restaurant has a few tables in it. Love the old family photos on walls reminding us of its rich history.

This is my childhood pizzeria and I still love coming here! This summer, they had such a great special, in which you could get 60 cent slices if you dined in house! I tried to go there as much as I could - because seriously - how can you beat that price?! If you come here, you're really lucky if you get a fresh pie straight from the oven. If you're just getting slices, be sure to ask for a corner! Plenty of sauce, and just enough cheese. Such a great slice! read more

Come here for the delicious thin crust, which is perfectly crispy on the outside and airy and pillowy on the inside. Sweet sauce. Just great pizza! read more

Disappointing service. 4 people behind the counter and takes 10 minutes to take my order. This being 9 pm also.

Greatest pizza in NY. After almost 20 years I finally was able to go back to Rizzo's and it was like a taste Time Machine. Great staff and very friendly. read more

Rizzo's is a dream come true for a vegan gal like me, whose fondest childhood memories include going to the local old school pizzeria in Ozone Park with her grandparents. They now have vegan pizza! I don't think you can get it by the slice just yet (go on, create that demand, vegans), but I'm one of those people that never gets slices if I can help it. Yeah, yeah, I'm not a real New Yorker. Get over it. Nothing like a freshly made pie and if you don't agree, I can handle not having that in common with you. I didn't ask what kind of vegan cheese it is. It might be Daiya, since it has that stretch. I like Daiya, though it's one of those polarizing brands for vegans (and many people can't, uh, stomach it). Ask if it's a big issue. They are so nice in here! I also got mushrooms, black & green olives. It came smothered in toppings. Love love love! Truthfully, I about inhaled the thing, so the cheese is a bit of a distant memory. Oh wait, the memory I have is of burning the roof of my mouth on it. And yes, it was worth it. And yes, I kept going. Testament to the perfect pie. Rizzo's has been slinging pies for 60 years in a vibrant, ever-changing neighborhood of Astoria. There's something to be said for a place with a tried and true business model willing to do something a little different. I will forever be a Rizzo's fan now. On that note, I just can't quit you, Queens. I may not live here, but I was born here (Jamaica represent!) and there's something about being back in this area that cues the nostalgia so damn hard. read more
