As bad as it was before COVID. This was my second visit, and the pizza restaurant, tables and floors were in urgent need of upgrades. There were unsanitary pizza boxes stored at the back of the restaurant and service was less than impressive. I will definately not be back

The guys behind the pizza

They say since 1975 My first time. Overall good Large selection of Pizzas I had square grandmas Upside down The sauce and cheese combo was tasty My thought was that the crust was overcooked some as I prefer a softer base To the pizza The Rosas staff were friendly overall But would return again

Cheese & Sicilian Pizza. SATISFACTORY. Preferred the Cheese Slice over the Sicilian Slice 'cause it was more flavorful with the emphasis being on the Cheese taste. The Sicilian Slice tasted more like Bread with Tomato Sauce and the Cheese flavor seemed nonexistent. Thought the Cheese Slice was larger where you got more Bang For Your Buck. I would come to ROSA'S for the Cheese Slice and skip the Sicilian Slice. RECOMMEND.

So good

I was already done with dinner. Then was asked by a friend if I wanted to try their favorite local pizza joint. Who in their right mind would say no? Of COURSE I WANT TO TRY YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL PIZZA JOINT. This place is what I think of when I want a slice of New York in my belly. Go try it.

Sicilians, Grandma, Pepperoni Slice

While I would still give the upper nod to the Maspeth and Ridgewood locations, Rosa's of Astoria is certainly no slouch in the pizza game. Given the expansion of the Rosa's empire, I am actually really jonseying for one to open closer to me. If I still lived in Astoria, I'd be very pleased to patronize this location often. And yet, I still find myself here more often than not. 21st is not riddled with great eateries, so when I'm in the area and it's late and I'm hungry (#1), I'll knock out a couple of slices when I get a chance. Unlike the other locations which look like they're stuck the 80s (#2), this location is the newest, hence it's updated with lots of seating, an open kitchen, and a TV playing in the background. Who doesn't love Rosa's signature inside-out sicilian? While I still love the slices, I find it to be just a tad saltier than the ones I'm used to. Grandma slice is also quality and I could get down with the ravioli or margherita anytime. And like any good pizza, this stuff is still rock solid when eaten at room temperature. The guys who are behind the counter are friendly and courteous. They are really good with the delivery and are fast about getting slices out to folks. One advantage the Astoria branch has is that it takes credit cards, which is a big win. I'll keep coming here as long as they keep serving pizza, which I hope is for many years to come. ____________ (#1) Which happens a little *too* often. (#2) That is a compliment. Really.

They offer a lot of good looking pizzas and sandwiches. I ordered a plain cheese slice and it was really a very generous size slice. It had just the right ratio of sauce and cheese plus their crust was light and crunchy. Next time I am definitely taking a sandwich home.

Good pizza with fun toppings. A lot of variety. Food: I usually get there ravioli slice which is really great but super heavy, so only eat it if you are really hungry. The vegetable slice is great and veggie packed. The spinach ricotta slice is not my favorite Bc the spinach tastes raw. The baked ziti was ok, wouldn't order again. Price: reasonable prices - regular slice is $3 Service: quick friendly service Ambiance: done outside seating but no heated seating. More of a takeout place until indoor seating opens

yuuummy Chicken Roll & Grandma Pie Large 18"
Bart M.

I go back with Rosa's Pizza to my high school days in early 2000s on Metropolitan Ave, and now the one in Astoria. The review is for both locations as my experience has been very good with both. The pizza slices are big, cheesy, greasy and delicious. My go-to's are the chicken and tomato, garlic knots, grandma's, and chicken rolls. The slices are very flavorful and have enough wetness and crisp in them that every crunch feels like you're being filmed on a pizza tv commercial. Last time I ordered the 9 slice grandma's pie, I ate 7 slices in one sitting. Worth it. But hopefully you get the point of how delicious their food is. The only downside I have is that doing cardio to burn it off requires alot of effort, but I'll handle it. Anyway, if you're looking for good delicious pizza thats been around for longer than most people in this App gives Rosa's a try. You wont regret your decision.

Ants in pizza box
Keshia C.

Liked the pizza from here. Ordered 3 times, but on 4th order my freshly delivered pie had ants crawling all over the inside of the pizza box. I couldn't understand, but figured that maybe where the pizza boxes are stacked in the restaurant could have an ant issue in the area. Either way I had to throw out the pizza. The gentleman who answered the phone didn't seem to care one way or the other when I called to let the restaurant know.

I've been coming to Milkflower for literal years and everyone here has consistently been so accommodating and attentive to my partner's vegetarian restriction. Today we were done working early and called at 3:30 to ask what time the lunch special (salad and a pie for $18) ran until. The woman who picked up said it ran until 5. We arrived just after 4. Once seated we asked again about the special - she confirmed it was still running and let us know that the salad was currently a Caesar salad. When we asked about the salad dressing, she told us it was vegetarian. The problem? It contained anchovies (the name of the dressing is lemon anchovy, printed on the menu). Even more concerning, our server appeared not to know what an anchovy was. For anyone with dietary restrictions, that's not a minor oversight -- it's a serious issue. If staff members are answering questions about ingredients, they should have a basic understanding of what's actually in the food they're serving. She went on to say there were no actual anchovies in it, that it was "just the name of the dressing." She again insisted there were no anchovies in it. When I pressed her further, she finally admitted that anchovies are blended into it. Again, I explained that means this dressing is not vegetarian, as literal fish are in it -- whether whole or blended, the dressing contains fish. When we explained the issue and asked about alternatives, none were offered. Not a different dressing, not a simple olive oil option, nothing. The complete lack of flexibility or effort to accommodate a reasonable dietary request was astonishing. She continued to offer the dressing on the side to my partner, which he cannot eat. 15 minutes later after ordering the salad with no dressing, the waitress came to our table to tell us the lunch special had actually ended at 4. We told her we called ahead and the woman we spoke to (presumably her since no one else was working, and since she herself believed it was still running when she sat us) said 5. There was no apology, no accommodation, no attempt to honor what we had been told over the phone -- just a shrug. For a restaurant that values customer service, especially for repeat customers, this was incredibly frustrating. We left without eating here. Mistakes happen. Phones get miscommunicated. Staff don't always have every answer. What made this experience so disappointing was the total absence of customer service at every step. We were given incorrect information, served misleading ingredient information, denied any reasonable accommodation, and offered no solution despite being loyal customers. Milkflower has always relied on its neighborhood reputation, but experiences like this make it difficult to justify returning. There are too many restaurants that value their customers and take dietary concerns seriously to settle for this level of indifference. If you have an actual food allergy (specifically seafood) please do your due diligence. If Milkflower management is reading this, please educate today's server that an anchovy is a fish, not just the name of a salad dressing, and that your lunch special ends at 4. Or hire a waitress who isn't so clueless.

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!

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.
