    Large Cheese
    Adrienne B.

    Picture this, it's New Year's Eve and you're spending it with your ninety-eight (98) year old grandmother who never has a craving for anything but now somehow wants pizza. You haven't lived at home I'm almost twenty (20) years and your go to place has gone out of business and your other standby is closed. Enter Grubhub and Sofia Pizza to save the day. I ordered a large cheese pie, garlic knots with a side of marinara and soda. Shortly after placing my order I got a call from Sofia Pizza informing me that I wasn't the only one wanting garlic knots and they were sold out. They replaced the knots with garlic bread and the wait for delivery began. Grubhub estimated at least an hour wait for delivery but the food arrived hot and fast in about forty-five (45) minutes. The pizza was absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of cheese with a crispy crust. The garlic bread was meh, but that pizza was phenomenally delicious. My grandma who we usually have to cajole into eating tore the pizza apart too so she also gives it two thumbs up. Next time I'm in New York, I'll definitely be ordering again and hopefully it will include garlic knots. :)

    Best food you will ever try from such a small location. The pasta ( pene alla vodka with grill chicken ) was so amazing. Pizza buffalo chicken nice and spicy. Food was good, fresh, warm, fast delivery.

    Apple Walnut Orange and Arugula Salad

    Love their pizza, but most of all their service. Always a pleasant experience. Yesterday we ordered 2 salads on their menu, the new Apple, Orange, and walnut arugula salad and Caprese Salad. One word-- Yum!

    Shrimp parm
    Lisa F.

    Baked ziti - 2/5 - Didn't really look like baked ziti. Looked more like ziti marinara. Barely any mozzarella or ricotta. But otherwise, ok. Fettucini Alfredo - 5/5 Creamy, perfectly cooked noodles, delicious sauce, a hearty portion - Absolutely fantastic. Penne alla vodka - 3 out of 5. Large portions. It smelled fantastic. They gave a nice serving of Italian bread on the side, but the sauce had an odd taste - like burnt plastic. I find this to be the case with a few pizza places in this area - not sure why. The pasta was cooked well, they gave ample sauce, and I loved that they even included a side of Parmesan without me asking. But the after-taste of the sauce just wasn't enjoyable, and it was far too tomato-based with very little cream. I'd probably opt for another pasta dish next time I come here, and pass on the penne alla vodka in the future. [edit] - I added some light cream to the sauce and it improved it 10-fold. Covered up the plastic-taste and I'm now able to enjoy my meal! Hurrah! But if you don't have cream at your disposal, expect to be slightly disappointed. :\ Caesar salad - 5 out of 5. For a family-run pizza joint, this Caesar salad is everything you'd expect. A nice portion size, croutons, Parmesan, and they don't skimp on the dressing (which is quite flavorful). This will be my new go-to spot for Caesar salads Spinach roll - 4.5 out of 5. Quite delicious. And they actually cream the spinach here, instead of putting whole leaves in the roll, which is always appreciated. They don't skimp on the cheese, which doesn't have a cheap taste, and the dough is well flavored and cooked perfectly. There's even some sauteed garlic in there for good measure! My new go-to spinach roll in the area as well. Garlic knots - 5 out of 5. They don't skimp on the quantity, and they're *super* garlicky and flavorful. I'm not sure why they appear green (perhaps parsley?) Either way - delicious! Shrimp parm - 3.5 (rated by my boyfriend) - shrimp is breaded and deep fried, good cheese distribution, bread is warm and crusty.. Only issue comes from a lot of mouthfuls of nothing but bread and sauce. Definitely could've used some more shrimp. Still, good flavor. Overall, outside of the plain slices (I find something a little off with them, but can't pinpoint what...), the lack of cream in the penne alla vodka, and the lack of ricotta and mozzarella in the baked ziti, I really like this place. By far the 2nd best Italian food options within delivery of my apartment (2nd to Anthony's on Ave. X - which pretty much blows everyone else out of the water). But I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get pizza in the South Brooklyn area.

    This place set up after the other place was flooded out during Hurricane Sandy
    Seth H.

    Sophia Pizza is on the block that was flooded out during Hurricane Sandy, so this place is relatively new. As such, there isn't much to tweak. It fits the mold of a reliably good pepperoni and buffalo chicken pizza place. The decor is basic and the pricing isn't posted (don't worry, there are to-go menus). A word on the pricing, the per slice cost is a little higher than I would expect for the neighborhood. This place is in the Coney Island/Sheepshead Bay/Gravesend area not the East Village, but two slices should be enough for a hungry person, so I guess volume wise the pricing is consistent. Maybe, I'm just a spoiled, hard-to-impress, Brooklynite? I gave it three stars because it is a good restaurant but not a place you would go to try something new, unless you were from out of town and categorically unfamiliar with the concept of a pizza-by-the-slice shop. $3 for a pepperoni slice? Yeah, okay.

    Wow. This is a review of Di Fara frozen pizza from Target. More specifically, Di Fara frozen pizza…read morefrom the Target Store in Richfield, Minnesota location. I tried looking up this pizza from Target Richfield for a review, but it sent me to the NYC location, so forgive me if this review is in the wrong thread. Anyway, wow. I've been to New York City and ate at the original Joe's Pizza. What an epic slice of pizza. Now back home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the great white north of snow that never ends, I finally tried the frozen Di Fara pepperoni pizza from Target no less. Sorry Joe's, but this is on par with your pizza (if it was frozen). Dave Portnoy was right with his high review. This pizza is very good. The thick cut pepperoni, great basil, and the crisp chewy crust was excellent for a frozen pizza. Nice under carriage as well. I cooked the pizza at 480 degrees in an electric pizza oven for 10 minutes, and the result was very good. I added a drizzle of hot honey, and it was spectacular (okay, I also added some fresh picked jalapeños as well). The pizza was hot and melted in the center, and the crust was very crisp, but still had some chew. Wow. This was the best frozen pizza I have had. Bar none. New York, you spoiled me when it came to pizza. Now I can get a taste of New York at home. Great job! I may or may not eat the last 3 pieces currently sitting in the fridge before bed.

He would pull the pans with his bear hand out of the oven and generously drizzle olive oil from a rustic copper container over every pie. He would then meticulously inspect the dough for bubbles. Then pop back in the oven for the imported olive oil to permeate and create a beautiful glistening coat. And once cooked he would then graciously cut basil on top of the pie. Dom has now passed but his legacy continues. I've always compared the then pie vs now. And like most things,, nothing beats the original. This is still a very good slice. I once rated them as the best in NYC. Unfortunately, its not at the very top but still on the podium. Coming back feels like you are saying hello to an old friend. If you haven't been, you have to try at least once.

We ordered a whole pie half plain and half pepperoni, which is only $2.50 more. What I notice right away is the zesty tomato sauce, which Has love. However, I must admit that the crust was a bit too hard for my taste. Yes! It was crispy, but biting through it was somewhat difficult. Overall a good slice, but maybe the dough was off a bit that day. Regardless, Luigi's Pizza is an institution and I will be back again next time I'm in the area.

Many pizzas do not reheat well due to rubbish cheese- not L&B- pop it in the oven around 400°F, and let it crisp back up! Also- the Spumoni- it keeps at a nice consistency in the freezer, unlike rubbish American ice cream- which gets like a rock. The only other Spumoni I buy is from Corona. They're both phenomenal in their respective rights. When asked by non-NY'ers which pizza is my favourite- this is number one for Sicilian- not heavy at all. The crust is light, airy, and flavourful. The cheese to sauce ratio is perfect- not swimming in greasy cheap cheese. I have the same standards for Neapolitan Pizza. We can discuss that elsewhere. Please never close shop- at least let's celebrate the centenary!

Fresh mozzarella, a nicely thin crisped crust, sweet tomato sauce, and fresh basil makes this simple pizza taste great. The fried calamari also impressed. It tasted notably fresh--light, clean, and not overly chewy like pre-frozen versions can sometimes be. While I can't say for certain, it had that just-prepared quality that makes a difference. The Caprese salad was a great way to start the meal, with fresh tomatoes, creamy burrata, and a balsamic drizzle was a nice light start. The atmosphere leans old-school Italian, which adds to the charm and character. Service was fine--nothing remarkable, but no major issues either. That said, my overall rating takes a big hit solely for the restaurants ridiculous tipping policy choices rather than the food itself. The automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill was frustrating. The menu does indicate that 18%, will automatically apply, or will be 20% for parties of six or more. We were only three people, so it felt inconsistent and unnecessary. On top of that, the added cost for credit card usage didn't help. I don't mind tipping for good service! In fact, I tip well--but I prefer having the choice and I'm old school so it's the principle of the matter. Being forced into it, takes away from an otherwise enjoyable meal. Bottom line: the food is strong and worth trying, but the billing practices leave a bad taste. If those were adjusted, this could easily be a higher-rated experience.
