My last meal in brooklyn. As soon as I stepped in, I immediately recognized the entrance. I haven't confirmed with them, but I am fairly certain that my friends grabbed a pizza from here one night and I walked in with them. I think it was just a cheeser pepperoni back then, but it was definitely good. Fast forward to now, before my train left, my sister want to bring me here for a meal and we dined in. Pizza was the move, and at first I was indecisive about which one I wanted. But then our waitress mentioned the special for the day and I got it. It had chilis, peppers, spring onions and much more... And with the flavor of that crust, anything could go on the pizza and taste great. Unfortunately because of the long train ride, we were somewhat rushing, but it all turned out wonderfully. I would love to come back when I have more time to fully enjoy everything. The drinks look nice too. read more

Where would we be without chili oil? Nowhere is the answer. If you like thin crust pizza, would definitely recommend this place. We really enjoyed our Pie's, the chili oil and would come back again. The server was kind enough to offer what turned out to be an excellent wine selection. This place is another example of how people find ways to maximize small spaces in NYC so I would definitely recommend snagging a seat at a table. The bar seating looked to be quite crowded and busy. read more

Santa Panza is dangerously close to my house--like, "should I start eating pasta every night?" close. Bonus points that it's right by the J, so I can justify it as convenient, not just indulgent. The food? So good. The spaghetti special came with mussels in a white sauce that was straight-up divine--slurped it up happily. The corn cacio e pepe felt like Italian elote, really good - covered in parm. The salmon was also yummy but watch out for the hot cherry tomatoes (they may burn you when they pop). Ended the night with an affogato made with espresso ice cream. Should I have chosen vanilla ice cream? No, I have no regrets. Coffee on coffee on coffee. The service was good, nothing exceptional. The entire atmosphere is surprisingly beautiful. Restaurants right off the J aren't usually the cutest but she's cute! read more

Super nice Italian place in Bushwick. Here's what I loved: - Great atmosphere - Nice patio on back - Friendly and attentive waiter - Good drinks - Cute menu design - Yummy ravioli What I didn't love: The ramp risotto. It too salty and too watery. Wouldn't order that again, but will be back for sure! read more

Santa Panza is quietly one of the best restaurants in the neighborhood. Excellent salads, arancini, pizzas and homemade pastas. Don't sleep on the secondi, either. They usually have some slow-braised meat and it's always delicious. Cocktails are also very well made, including spritzes and Negronis. The bartender made my partners mom a skinny cosmo because she's diabetic and she said it was the best cocktail she's ever had. Also, house-made gluten free versions of pretty much everything like pizza and pasta -- all awesome. read more

We decided to try this spot for a girls night out. It was definitely worth the experience. From the host, to the waiter, to the bartender. Everyone was just very welcoming and a pleasure. The food was top tier. It has been added to my go to spots in the neighborhood. read more

Santa Panza has always been one of my favorites. Charming in its own way and very chill vibes with a cute backyard if you choose to sit outside. Staff is always friendly and make you feel welcome. The food is exceptional with some new items on the menu. They use fresh ingredients and everything on the menu is amazing including their brick oven pizza. Places like these puts Brooklyn on the map for great culinary eats. I love this place! read more

Santa Panza is so good! Decided to come back for my birthday with some friends. Made reservations ahead of time, but I think we could have done a walk in and got seated. Honestly, everything we ordered was amazing. From starters to pasta/pizza, everyone was super happy about each item. The Agnolotti was incredible! Everyone loved the Queen Mary! Definitely will come back again! read more

Best Italian food in Brooklyn, hands down. The executive chef, Mr. Guido Moltisanti, prepares his dishes using his very own family recipes. The Agnolotti was the finest meal I've had in the United States: handmade pasta stuffed to the brim with braised beef. The craftsmanship and passion that clearly went into this dish is simply incomparable. Bravo! Grazie! read more

How does one begin to praise a particular pizza above others in New York? And yet, the wood fired dough, perfect amount of toppings and interesting flavors would put the pies here at the top of my "should return and order again" list. The relaxed atmosphere and excellent service were just what we were looking for. And the panna cotta with watermelon? Perfectly captured summer in a dessert! read more

Ordered for delivery when there was a bug on the dinner I made! Absolutely delightful. Really great sauce, great crust, one of the better Neapolitan pizzas I have had in nyc-- even after delivery in 7 degree weather! read more

Intimate Italian spot with unique flavors. The crispy brussels sprouts came with a cold tomato sauce. The caesar salad was pretty light on dressing and the parmesan was fluffy and soft. I was not a fan of the marinated/pickled onion slices that came with the burrata but the accompanying focaccia was crispy and delicious. For my main, I had the mushroom pappardelle. I absolutely love the texture of the mushrooms and sauce but the noodles were really thick for pappardelle (almost whole wheat-like) and some had congealed/stuck together, which was disappointing. read more

Ordered take out. We had Corn Cacio e Pepe, Short Rib Agnolotti, Sweet Corn Ravioli, and Mafaldine Ragu. Also got the Watermelon Sangria. Everything was delicious!!! Order arrived quickly and hot! I will absolutely order from them again and def visit in person! read more

Although I've only been here twice, years apart, I'm always thinking of it. It's cozy intimate space for single diners to small groups. I myself dined alone once, my favorite pastime. What made me love it was that they didn't rush me out. I can dine in for hours so that was a huge win for me. Any place that lets me take my time to pig out has a small piece of my loyalty:) On my most recent visit I finally convinced someone to try it out. Many people don't like eating by underpasses/trains/highways so spaces like these are hard to venture to. Even several years later the food was still amazing. That being said they have a pizza with onions on it, that one would be tasty if it had flavor (and some caramelized onions instead). Although the person that ordered it liked it they said they didn't love it and after three (small) slices they were over it. Overall a quaint spot for tasty meal or quick pizza bite any season. read more

Santa Panza - prosciutto e funghi pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Easily top 5 meals I've had this year. When the weather isn't too hot and humid, the back patio is lovely! Very cute with lots of plants. Gotta love a place that does reasonable happy hours and I am more than likely to more than one glass of wine. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations while keeping our glasses refilled! The fried eggplant appetizer was tops! The sauce on the side was a tomato aioli and was a very interesting pairing but very tasty. My first time having chicken milanese, and that was a server recommendation that totally blew us out of the water. Delicious and crispy salad with tons of cheese with incredible sauce over a giant cutlet of chicken - WOW. The pizza we got was the prosciutto and mushroom, that was such a fantastic bite. The crust was that perfect spongy but crispy fire grilled crust. I would absolutely come back any time they are open. read more

I will give them a second try but this first try, I'm not impressed. I ordered a pizza via ubereats. The restaurant was responsible for delivering it. I don't know what they constitute as being a pie but what I received wasn't a pie. It looked like they threw slices in a box and sent it on its way. There was also barely any cheese. I have had margarita pizzas before. I don't know what they think this was but it wasn't it. I will give them another try in the future but as far as first impressions go.... They failed. read more

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and thoroughly enjoyed the Santa Panza pizza, so much so that my husband ordered a second one after we finished the first. He really like the ambiance of watching the pizza come out of the brick oven and the servers were very friendly and accommodating. read more

I have a feeling that someone here is in the Ops/Leo family, because there are some telltale signs: a cannellini bean appetizer, chili oil on the side, and a long list of natural wines on offer. But this may be my favorite of the trifecta. Not only did the unexpected location under the rattling of the J train please my sensibilities, but there were some true standout dishes. In particular, the aforementioned cannellini bean dish - here, mashed with lemon and garlic - was scrumptious in both flavor and texture. And my absolute favorite of the night was the Queen Mary pizza, which had one of the sweetest, most pleasing tomato sauces I've tasted, and one that gradually blended with the straciatella into a delectable pink sauce. Highly recommend! read more

Santa Panza is amazing! It doesn't look like anything special from the outside, but once you step inside the ambiance is cozy and inviting. We went for their happy hour at 6pm on a Friday, and took advantage of their happy hour deal on draft beers and pizzas. The service was kind and helpful when answering questions about the wine options. Our group of 3 ordered an app, 2 pizzas and a pasta dish, and had a few slices left over. Food rundown: Whipped Ricotta - Our go-to appetizer. The bread, ricotta, olives and peppers combine for complex, delicious flavors. Spring Ortellana Pizza - I usually like meat on pizza, but this rich, savory pizza blew me away. Highly recommend. Santa Panza Pizza - meaty, smoky flavor. I recommend using the chili oil with this pizza. Cacio E Pepe Pasta - Just ok, won't get this again. The quality of the food and service is top notch and we'll be back again and again. 10/10. read more

Santa Panza is one of my favorite places in Bushwick. Everything on the menu is a hit. My go tos are the Salame Piccante pizza, Pomodoro, and Cozze e Vongole. They currently have a seasonal Rainbow Trout on the menu that is to die for. They only make about 4-5 a day so catch it while you can! My favorite cocktails are the Espresso Martini (chef's kiss), Margarita, and White Negroni. The staff is always super friendly, attentive, and actually have real opinions and can offer great guidance on the food. I love to sit at the bar and chat with the bartender while watching the kitchen staff working their magic. Highly recommend, 10/10. read more

AVOID this place like the plague! I was the BIGGEST fan of Santa Panza and gave them RAVE reviews. I also referred them to everyone I knew as the best vegan and gluten-free pizza in NYC. It was very pricey, but worth it. But the last two UberEats orders were horrible! The first one have so much sauce that the pizza was soggy. They made it right by sending me one later, so I trusted that I could try them again and that had just been one off day. So to celebrate New Years Day 2023, I ordered again. They sent over a vegan, Margarita pizza with like 50 cold cubes of nasty tasting, unmelted vegan cheese and no basil, despite me asking for EXTRA basil. It was like the pizza had never been put in the oven!! When I opened the box, I called the delivery guy because I thought he left me with the wrong order! When I called to have the situation rectified the person that answered the phone was rude and obnoxious. He claimed I "just don't like their pizza" despite me telling them how much I loved it numerous times in the past! I even called them previously after my order arrived to rave about how yummy it was. Plus, who orders from restaurants that they don't like?? When the rude moron on the phone claimed I "just didn't like their pizza", I told him this was far from true and that previously I had raved about them and they were losing a really great, regular customer. He claimed there was nothing he could do. They ruined my New Year's Day lunch with my favorite food. I will, unfortunately, never order from this awfully run place with their nasty food and rude staff ever again! read more

I never knew such a hidden gem existed. The food was my favorite! The pasta was hand rolled and the salad was perfect too. The pizza takes about 10-15min to arrive but it was wood oven made and had a nice Smokey flavor. The first time I was here, the service was amazing! It was on a weekend and very busy on the patio. Tuesday night was pretty packed too on the patio but service was subpar. Lambrusco went well with the meal but it is a little sweet. One of the best places to go for Italian food! read more

Returned for the gluten free pizza crust and it did not disappoint!! In fact, it's likely the best I've ever had. The crust has the perfect texture and wasn't too dense or doughy-- so much so that even my picky friends without restrictions were able to enjoy. It's also egg and nut free which worked wonderfully for my allergies. This is my new destination for gluten free pizza. Definitely give it a try! read more

i never leave yelp reviews, but this place blew me away. the food was insanely good... like, REALLY good. our server had great recommendations and didn't lead us astray once. highlights were the pesto burratta (some of the best pesto i've ever had) and the caesar salad (really fresh and lemony) and the queen mary pizza, which had a really unique and delicious tomato jam. the ambiance on the back patio was stunning and honestly unbelievably quiet for being right off broadway. this place definitely is going to become a regular spot for me. read more

Greet pizza delivered quick with Uber eats - the Santa Panza was a very tasty fennel sausage and special cheese pizza.

I love this spot. The food is great and the menu has something for everyone. Also the staff are incredible and add to the experience. I order from here regularly the margarita is beautiful-perfect in my opinion, and the gem lettuce salad with watermelon radish and chives, is what a farmers dreams are made of:-)! For dining there I love the backyard garden it makes you forget you are in Bushwick in the summer in August :-) and is still cozy in the winter. The mussels are so good the broth is really special and the chef was nice enough to make it without pork stock for me. They also have a reginatti with fresh vegetables that is worth the calories. Love Santa Panza ! read more

Delectable, scandalously delicious and so fresh! Ordered a Margarita pie and Little Gem Salad and wow oh wow was it amazing! The pizza crust was perfect and had fire marks so I know it was made fresh! Sauce was cooked well so no acidic quality, sweet tomatoes and vibrant basil - and of course fresh fresh MOZZ! The salad was also yummy and a big enough serving for 2 hungry peeps! Will return for more of everything read more

After looking at the reviews/photos I was excited to try their margherita pizza. First, it is clear the ingredients used are high quality, and the flavor of the sauce is excellent. The crust's edges were chewy and well cooked! But ultimately, the pizza I received was also drenched in sauce, the cheese pieces unmelted, and from the excess sauce, the slices were wet and floppy on the bottom. I'm giving four stars still because I can tell from the quality of ingredients as well as prior reviews, this seems a one off experience. I will definitely try them again, perhaps in person for the full experience! read more

Delish italian place! The food was delicious, loved everything we had. The Burrata was interesting in a good way, loved how it was served with slices of oranges and pickled i don't know what. It felt light to eat this way vs. with bread. The pizza was crunchy, very yummy and savory. The risotto was also amazing! The place isn't huge inside and it was a bit crowded - even the waiter was having problems moving around! Our waiter was also very nice and attentive. Enjoyed my visit and def recommend! read more
