the outside of a restaurant
Steve S.

In continuation of my boycott of La Pizzeria (horrible service, overpriced menu, sub-par food), I decided to grab a quick bite to eat tonight at Roya Kosher Pizza in Great Neck. This hole in the wall pizzeria somehow continues to survive however anyone's guess as to how is still a mystery. With the except of Saturday Night and after Yom Tov's (when they are smart enough to open) this place is usually pretty dead. Being tucked in the back of an outdated shopping center doesn't help their case either. The service is always slow. The guy working here (he looks like Ray Romano) somehow happens to always be there also, either by himself or on the rare occasion he has some help. Tonight he was alone. There were two people in front of us and we still stood there for about ten minutes while he scrambled around to complete their orders before taking ours. The place is pretty dirty and could use some new paint, a floor polishing, and to have the guy from hoarders come and trash half the old crap they have around the store. The pizza ($2 a slice) from here is hit or miss. Depending on what time of day you come and which day of the week will determine it's age. Tonight we were lucky. When he first said the slice didn't need to be heated up I was reluctant to take it however it was the perfect temperature and came out quite good. The dough has just the right thickness and has that almost laffa-e kind of taste. The sauce is OK. Not too powering but tomato enough. The only thing lacking is the cheese. It didn't really have any flavor but I have come to realize this is the standard for Kosher Mozz. The best thing to get at Roya's isn't the Pizza though. It's the Veggie burger. I am not sure what it's made of (maybe mushrooms?) but it's the closest thing to meat in a veggie burger that I have seen. Often times when you get a burger you feel like you are eating a potato and corn sandwich but these are far from that. It's the best veggie burger I have ever had and I highly recommend them. The $4 price tag also makes it amazing. They put a whole slice of tomato and onion on it and it comes out so juicy after eating it it leaves you wanting another more. We asked for falafel tonight but they didn't have any so I can't tell you how it was however I have had the spicy fries here before and they are also good if you want a side to go with your meal. The mozzarella sticks are kind of weird here (they look like corn dogs but with cheese inside them instead of meat) but they taste alright. Overall a nice cheap meal if you are in Great Neck and don't want to take a mortgage out just to have some pizza (La Pizzeria I am talking about you). I definitely recommend this place if you are in the neighborhood!

If I could give the 0 stars I would. They have a crappy and unprofessional service. They don't get the order right and they feel no shame.

I've eaten here/gotten takeout a solid 25 times now. My husband & I LOVE, love, love the riceballs-…read moresoo crunchy, fried to perfection. I also love the caprese salad, it's so fresh and delicious. The prosciutto pizza is amazing, so is the margherita. My husband loves the chicken cutlet entree, it's so crisp, he gets it ever. single. time. Omg and the cannolis are outrageous, the best cannolis. No exaggeration. They have maybe 10 tables in the back and a few outside. Nice atmosphere, clean, and friendly service,

This is, by far, the worst service I have ever experienced…read more I was really pulling for this place. I wanted it to succeed. I told everyone about it, that it was some of the best pizza in New York. I gave them so many chances. Last night was the final straw. Made a reservation for Friday night at 8PM. We arrived at 8:05. The waitress who's basically always there, who sounds like she smokes about a pack a day, was the only waitress there that night. I felt for her, but also, not my problem. We didn't receive water or a full set of utensils and menu until about 8:15. At about 8:25, she took our order, and we ordered a few apps and calzone and pizza. I had to ask for my coke about 4 times until she remembered to bring it. Water was NEVER refilled. We were never asked if we were ok. Around 8:50, we finally received our apps. It was ok, they've made it better in the past. Ambiance was starting to die down as the restaurant was clearing out. We felt a bit bad for her, but also, this wasn't our fault, that they were unprepared for a Friday night rush (her words). By 9:15, we were furious and our moods were ruined. We sat down at 8:05, ordered before 8:30, we were the only ones left and our pizza and calzone were yet to be found. Shortly before 9:30, it arrived. And again, it was pretty good, but not wait over an hour for it good. I wanted this place to succeed. The pizza maker from Italy deserves a better crew. The waitress doesn't know how to be a waitress, at all. No apologies, not taking anything off the check, not checking on us. There's no busboy, no one dedicated to take out, no manager. It seems that everyone plays each others roles, and quite poorly. They've lost a loyal customer tonight. We will NEVER give this place another try.

What a turnaround! My prior review was from 3 years ago when the restaurant was called Sandro's and…read morebefore the renovation. We would not have come back except we had plans with friends who wanted to meet here. So glad we did! My main complaint before was the acoustics. The renovation with added decor to dampen noise did the trick. I didn't even notice that the restaurant was full. We ordered different dishes and ate it family style so got to try a few different dishes. I didn't order so don't know the specific names but we shared a salad, a spicy calamari, egg yolk ravioli, black linguini with seafood, catfish, and a veal parm. I especially enjoyed the ravioli. Flavors were nice on all the dishes. I don't know if it was the company but I didn't notice a lapse in service. The servers were attentive. The parking was still ample. I'm glad we came back and a little regretful that we waited so long.

Let me start by saying this was hands down one of the most exceptional dining experiences I've had…read morein a long time. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was truly next-level. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and every single person from the host to the bartender to our server and everyone in between played a part in making the night feel special. The attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine kindness did not go unnoticed, and it set the tone for the entire evening. We were first greeted with warm bread and olive oil, which was absolutely delightful and the perfect start. Our server, Paulino (I hope I'm spelling his name right), guided us through the menu with such care and knowledge, which made the experience even better. We started with the mussels Bianco and baked clams both were outstanding, easily a 9/10. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For our entrées, we had the branzino and a pasta dish that was nothing short of amazing. The attention to detail like freshly cracked pepper added right at the table made everything feel elevated and thoughtfully done. To end the night, I mentioned that my mom had just passed her real estate exam and that we were celebrating her. They went above and beyond by bringing out an apple crostini with a candle, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. And yes, we devoured the entire thing. It was that good. Truly a 10000/10 moment. What made this experience even more meaningful is that it came after a long, stressful day at the ER. Walking into such warmth, care, and genuine hospitality meant more than I can put into words. Thank you again for the incredible service, attentiveness, and overall experience. I truly wish I could remember everyone's names because each person we encountered was a pleasure. Please let them know my mom and I are so grateful. We dined on April 3rd around 9 PM, and it's a night we won't forget.
