This has to be up there with one of the best pizzerias in Staten Island and arguably in all of NYC. I got the truffle potato pizza, margherita, and spicy vodka chicken parm, and all 3 were outstanding. The truffle potato pizza was especially good. You rarely see this style in the US but I know it's popular in parts of Italy. Highly recommend giving it a try. The Margherita was fantastic, and the spicy vodka chicken parm was excellent as well. I believe they make their own bread which made everything even better. The crust on the pizza is reminiscent of a croissant. Super light and flaky. I have no idea how they were able to do this. Honestly, that alone should be enough to get you through the door. Highly recommend this place. I'm definitely coming back and I'm really glad I gave it a try read more

What can I say? It's good pizza with prominent signage in a good location. If you drive along Richmond Road you will notice them easily and daydream about what it's like eating there. You will not be disappointed. They have a wide array of slices and rolls, all of which taste great. Customer service is polite and fast, as it should be. I will be back, and so will you, because... it's so noticeable. read more

Yes! I saw on yelp that my favorite pizza place on Staten Island was closed but it turns out they just moved locations and have a different yelp page now! No better clam pie in all of Staten Island. Plus if you're with someone who doesn't want clam, the other half of the pie can be any white pie. Try white pie with mushrooms its amazing too! Not mention the appetizers are still the same leveled-up like the Garlic Soy Calamari or the Truffle Mushroom Arrancini. read more

We had such a great experience here! The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and quick to make things right when needed. We ordered the upside-down personal pan pizza with pepperoni, and it was absolutely delicious, crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor. The linguine with meatballs and marinara was also amazing, topped with creamy ricotta and fresh basil. For drinks, I had the red sangria, which was refreshing and perfectly balanced. My friend had a strawberry Limoncello spritz that she really enjoyed. We also tried a pistachio latte (so good!) and a Nutella cappuccino, both worth ordering again. The only thing that missed the mark was the cannolis; they were supposed to be pistachio and cookie butter but didn't really taste like either. However, our server was fantastic and immediately took them off the bill, which we really appreciated. Overall, between the great food, drinks, and outstanding service, this place deserves five stars! Highly recommend. read more

I love a good low-pressure hangout and this is what Rustic Pizza is all about. I decided to try Rustic Pizza on a Friday night and they seated me and my party of 8 immediately. The picnic table style creates such a snug and home-like vibe as you're enjoying/waiting for your meal. I ordered the eggplant rollatini for myself and the ricotta was seasoned so well, I couldn't get enough of it. I also split the Fig and Prosciutto Pizza with my boyfriend, which was the perfect balance of savory and sweet. However, my favorite of all had to have been the few buffalo calamari bites I tried from a friend's appetizer. Definitely recommend this place for a good comfort meal. read more

I came here on a whim with a group of 8 people because our other option was too busy and I do not regret it one bit! Me and my girlfriend split the fig and prosciutto pizza and the eggplant rollatini and they were both phenomenal. I also tried some of my friend's garlic knots and buffalo calamari and they were both also above average. This place lives up to its name and contains a very rustic vibe inside which is something very unique for a pizzeria. I found the service to be very efficient and the workers seemed to mostly keep to themselves but weren't hard to reach if we needed something. Not to mention everything here feels very reasonably priced and they have such a creative menu. As far as eat-in pizza places go I would have to give Rustic Pizza flying colors and I would recommend them over almost any eat-in pizzeria! I will be coming back for sure read more

Rustic Pizza & Pasteria - Fig and Prosciutto Pie - Salad Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I went there first time and got a cheese pizza that tasted better than most of the other pizzerias in Staten Island. It had a good mix of tomato sauce and cheese. I then ordered online a few weeks later, a Classic personal pan pizza. I pick it up and go home to eat it. This was the worst pizza ,if I can call it that, that I've ever tasted. It was mostly almost an inch of doughy crust ,topped off with a thin layer of cheese and tomato sauce. It was like eating regular bread. read more

Food is excellent and the service is always right on spot. I especially enjoy the rice balls and the salads with pistachios. More than a pizzeria and the prices are pretty reasonable. read more

First time trying this place and wish I had it sooner! We went here after Lee's had a 1 hour+ wait, but I'm going to look forward to eating here more. The setting for one is really nice. I love how older wood style (there's the rustic part). And the food itself- excellent. We weren't too hungry and only had the pictured upside down pizza and garlic knots. But they were the best garlic knots I ever had. Pizza was not bad at all itself. Go here on an empty stomach! read more

This place has great food tonight I had chicken parm with posta and fresh Mutts with Vodka Sauce. The chicken was so tender you could cut it with a fork the posta was cooked perfectly and as always the Vodka Sauce was to die for. The staff here are so pleasant I never had a bad experience. The Dine in area is done up real nice with a bar for those who need a drink. I will eat in one day with my family for sure. Don't miss this new place.! read more

This is a fantastic new-not so new-pizza restaurant in my neck of the woods, which I would recommend to anyone visiting or living in Staten Island. A genuinely warm, welcoming atmosphere, with fabulous service and absolutely delicious food and drink. I've visited several times with brothers from my church and I can honestly say I've never had a less than stellar experience. With so many legendary pizzerias closing in this borough, it's worth visiting a restaurant that still serves fresh, mouth-watering pizza. read more

Went to their new restaurant the other day. My wife had the pear salad which she loved ,I had the pork parmigiana, which was very good, sauce and pork were fabulous, BUT, the cheese was lousy. It looked like white paste, and was tasteless. Service was excellent, the restaurant is beautiful and spotless. Parking lot is tiny and you need a plan B in case you can't park. Love the place, if they see this review, PLEASE use a better cheese for parmigiana, or a blend, with a slight char on the cheese read more

The vodka pie is always delicious! Thin crisp crust, nice amount of cheese and sauce. The fried galamad is one of the best on the north side of the island. The hot hero's are also really good. I've been going to Rustic since they were on Lincoln. Everything is always fresh. read more

Fabulous place that has become a favorite. The food is delicious and always fresh. When dining in, the service is very attentive and prompt. Great addition to the neighborhood. read more

You can't go wrong with this place! I always stop by with my family and we're never disappointed. The pizza is amazing and my personal favorite the personal cheese pie is too die for! Keep it up I love it here! read more

Ordered for first time. Meatball pizza, white pie ,eggplant parm hero and zucchini fries. Pizza was awful. Dry and tasteless. $80 and we threw it out. Was very disappointed in the food. May be different eating there but only thing we didn't throw out was eggplant. Zucchini fries were just breadcrumbs and oil. But will say girl who took phone order was extremely polite and friendly. read more

Great service and absolutely top notch food. New location is super cozy and clean. Great place for a small gathering or a party, they have family style options which is great. My fave is vodka, chicken parm and they have the best fried calamari. read more

ordered a traditional Grandma pie at 2pm, right in between the lunch and dinner rushes. Crust was nice and crisp, but no delicious garlic taste, sauce tasted jarred, cheese was very rubbery. for $29.00, we were disappointed in the quality. We picked up pie, so it wasn't sitting at all. Pizza lacked taste. read more

Love it there and amazing team members, very friendly as well. Pizza is great too and I love how classic it looks

I went to Rustic Pizza this past Sunday, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was top notch friendly, attentive, and quick. I ordered a small white pie, and it was absolutely delicious. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside yet soft inside, and the blend of ricotta, mozzarella, and garlic created the perfect balance of creamy and savory flavors. My boyfriend had the small pistachio pizza, which was unique and packed with flavor the pistachios added a great crunch, and the combination of cheese and pesto was spot on.To top it all off, we had two cherry ices for dessert, which were the perfect refreshing treat to end the meal. Rustic Pizza truly exceeded our expectations, and I can't wait to go back. If you're looking for high-quality, flavorful pizza with great service, this is the place to go! read more

The new location is great! I used to walk in and get slices all the time, now me and my family can't stay away from that dining room!

Service and quality of food is excellent. Decor is very inspiring and comfortable. Portions are SMALL for the price. At Goodfellas you get twice for the price but quality lacks. read more
