Walking in really reminded me of old school pizzerias from the '80s. Don't misunderstand. I'm not saying it looked outdated. It just had a true pizzeria vibe that I remember growing up. The wood on the walls. The floors. The red bench seats. All old school pizzeria. None of this new fancy art Deco stuff. I was simple. I ordered regular cheese slices. There are so many specialty slices offered. If you go. Be adventurous. I didn't go old school and get a fountain drink, I got a bottle Snapple. The pizza had a slight snap of the bread when folded. I miss thin crisp Pizza with a snap. The pizza good flavor in fact I had two slices and went back for a third. The other thing I noticed is the breading didn't have added sugar. It's not easy to find a pizza place that doesn't add sugar to their dough. I had to ask to confirm and I was told no sugar. I really appreciate that. The slices were served hot without any burnt or hard parts of the pizza. It was crispy warm gooey where it needed to be and chewy. Delightful slice read more

Southdown pizza has been here since we were kids. When we moved back to huntington with three kids we tried all the places. We didn't go here much and it was not our favorite. We moved away and the place got new owners and the place is much better. Comments from our party were: the sauce was very tasty, chicken in chicken parm was dry. Eggplant was tasty, but it was sliced so thin that the overwhelming flavor was bread crumb. I don't understand why most places do that. Cooks faster? Garlic knots were nice with a good chew. Pizza was thicker than the original Southdown, but better with a good chewy crust, good sauce and tons of cheese. read more

Southdown Kitchen - Southdown kitchen outdoor seating - Pizza Near Me - Huntington, New York

I wanted to make some claim like "you can only find good pizza in the north", but I feel like such a blanket statement would let the Southdown. Besides, why make a blanket statement when this summer is wayyyyy too hot to be using blankets anyway. Really good Long Island Pizza available at Southdown Kitchen, and that's what I usually come here for. It's dirt-cheap for slices and they're very tasty indeed. Not my fave slice in Huntington (that honour goes to Little Vincent's), but definitely top three and definitely one of the better ones on Long Island. Easily Five Star Pizza. There. I said it. And: I really have got my "uncouth" down And I'll show you while we eat Southdown Just take of your undies And I'll take off my onesies Then relax while I slide my big mouthdown. read more

Tried this place for the first time because we got one of those coupons in the mail for a cheese pie, a meatball hero, a dozen garlic knots and a baked ziti for $30! That's a great deal in any inflationary era where gas is over $4/gallon. While the pizza could have used another minute or two, the sauce was good. The knots were ok, but kinda doughy, the baked ziti was the worst of the bunch as it lacked flavor, as bland as boiled ziti without sauce, but! ......the meatball hero was off the hook! Excellent meatballs, great flavor, good texture and tasted great! I'd go there just for the hero. I'd never go back without the coupon though. Broadway pizza is better for their pies. read more

Been going to this pizza place since I was a kid and junior high school and I love it. Still taste as delicious. Very happy that they are still in business. Good food, good people. read more

Worst pizza I've ever had. We got this pizza because we saw it on the cover of Newsday... we were so excited and it unfortunately was not what we expected. The Big Mac pizza was clearly not a Big Mac but cheese burger ingredients on a piece of pizza dough. There is no big mac speciality sauce taste, and the cheese is clearly just squares of Kraft thrown on it. Way too over priced!!! We wanted to have a closer pizza spot to us but we will be back to American Pie Bar in East Islip for theirs!!! read more

Southdown Kitchen - a slice of cheeseburger pizza - Pizza Near Me - Huntington, New York

Sorry but the pizza here is not good. We got 1 plain pie and 1 pepperoni pie and I've never been so disappointed in pizza in my life. Tasted undercooked without any flavor. We also got garlic knots which should have just been called "knots". They were completely dry and had no garlic flavor at al. read more

THANK YOU to Southdown Pizza! Yesterday, my very confused, 90 year old mother called and placed an order with them and the owner and staff were so kind to deliver her a meal "on the house". When she told me that I called them to find out what had happened. They said that she was very confused and the owner was worried about her so he told them to go over and check up on her. That was so kind of them. It's nice to know that there are still, thoughtful and kind people out there that do the right thing. I hope that anybody reading this will support this little business in our neighborhood. They are the best! read more

Best Pizza in town! Southdown Pizza Kitchen is the best most convenient pizza place in the village of Huntington with its own parking spots right in front and the only pizza places that delivers and delivers pretty quickly. When you walk into the shop it is clearly and old school pizzeria feel just like it used to be back in the day. The pizza here is true to NY with a thin crust, high grade cheese, and homemade tomato sauce. In addition no one beats their lunch special of two slices and a soda for $5. When I come here i usually get a hero, salad, and a few slices. I tend to stick with the regular pizza but they do have few unique slices which are delicious also. For the heros they are all good and there is a hero of the day that they rotate through. My favorite is the eggplant parm and the Milani which is chicken breast with provolone and the works on it and the cook it in the oven till the cheese is gooey goodness. I need to stay little healthy though so I get the anti pasto salad which is made with meats,veggies, mushrooms and its packed to the top. This place does not skim out on portions. In short: - Delicious pizza,heros, salads - Friendly staff - Delivers read more

Amazing food!!!! Our local spot. We've had just about everything on the menu and it hits every time. Not one miss.

I love this place. I ate here almost every week for more than thirty years. I don't live on the island anymore and this place is one of the things I really miss. In fact whenever I come back to Huntington I make a point of stopping in to see the crew and have a slice and some garlic knots or something else. I love the heroes and calzone. The salads are good too. Give it a try! They offer great service and delivery and over fifty years serving the community. read more

Stopped in to this lovely pizza place and ordered a sweet and spicy chicken slice. They even entertained my obsession with spicy food and drizzle some pepper flakes and buffalo sauce on top. I didn't make it home and ate the entire slice in the car great customer service also. read more

We order every Friday for the past 4 years never had a problem Tonight we order a salad with grilled chicken well done and warm and a pepperoni pinwheel What we got was cold grease and practically frozen chicken when we called they said nothing They just lost a good customer read more

This place continues to get better each year. They're polite on the phone and they deliver which are both huge positives. But most importantly, the food is good and decently priced. Their regular pizza is delicious and their garlic knots are great. Also good hero's. But they also have a rather extensive menu which I look forward to trying! I recently tried their mesclun salad with Gorgonzola and walnuts and it is suburb. I'm happy Southdown has upped their game, they've been knocking it out of the park recently. read more

Mediocre pizza and terrible customer service. Ordered two pizzas with toppings. When I got home, the wrong topping was on one of the pizzas. I called in to address this, and I was told that I had indeed ordered meatball and not mushroom. I explained that I have never ordered meatball in my lifetime. She responded by saying that meatball was written down (note that anything written down was by them - not by me.). I thanked them and told them that I was new to the neighborhood and would not be coming back. The woman hung up on me. read more

After having my weekly 2 slices here at Southdown today and then later on have some little V's I have come to make up my mind that as far as "Classic" style pizza goes, Southdown has the top slice in Huntington and more than likely the surrounding areas. Their slice here is super crisp, thin and made with a good quality flavorful cheese. Again being said this is not a shiny new looking place with all sorts of crazy slices that cost $5 per slice, this is a throwback pizza joint, but the slices are great! There's something as well that they add in the pizza dough that gives it a extra crispy but not chewy texture? Almost flakey-ish, perhaps butter or olive oil? Anyways really a great place in a totally unassuming hole in the wall joint, yes this is a classic pizza joint! Great! read more

It's almost like this food could be good if they served it a little bit better! Everything we got delivered was cold, flavorless eggplant, except for maybe the personal pizza. It has a good flavor but when it gets delivered cold you can notice how bad it gets and then it's not worth reheating read more

Great local spot, they do a "vegan pie" now, the only ones in town to my knowledge!! Prompt pick up and friendly staff--wish their knots were vegan too--maybe one day?? Overall, stop in for some fresh, delicious pizza and more--vegan or not, the place is great! And they serve quality beer and wine at reasonable prices! read more

Customer service was terrible and so was food. The guy at the counter actually asked me, "Can I help you?" I tell him what I want, then the phone rings he takes that order, then goes in the back and disappears. A co-worker smiled and shook his head in disgust at the guy and then ended up helping me clearly knowing the other guy was an idiot. Regardless, the deal-killer was the pizza sucked. There are many better places in Huntington. read more

kinda disgusting. They put their hands all over your food, and I actually witnessed: the guy from the back unpacking boxes, bring them to kitchen & put on table where they put raw food. and then. and THEN he HANDS the other guy a slice of pizza to put in oven! That's with a customer at the counter, I don't even want to know what happens when no ones aroung. the pizza kinda sucks too. read more

After just eating what feels like the thousandth disappointing baked ziti dish in NYC, I decided to finally give some internet props to the place that made me who I am today. Southdown EFFING Kitchen. Pizza's great. Meatballs are great. Everything's great. But I grew up on their baked ziti. Ohhh my sweet JESUS their baked ziti. The sauce is absolute perfection. Thick but not chunky. Sweet, salty but not too much of either. Distinct and unique, for sure. They put NO ricotta in their baked ziti. I love this. Everywhere else loads it in, making the dish dry, bland, and mac n' cheese-like. Also, when you ask for extra mozz and well-done, they LISTEN. Even without the modification, the cheese has bubbly brown spots, but I like it super brown. The mozzarella is delicious, salty and stringy. If i had to give constructive criticism, I'd say the pasta can at times be a little overcooked. But seriously, everything else about the dish is so amazing, I don't give a shit. If it weren't probably close to 1000 cals, I'd get it every time I went home to my parents' place. But damn right I'm getting it this weekend! Oh, and get a meatball or two on the side. Nom nom nom. read more

Some long time employees have take over ownership and REALLY breathed some new life into this old school pizza joint. It's nice to see that a passion for cooking has re-emerged, and the new varieties of pizza, and pasta are excellent. Every time I go back I see they're fixing something new, or hanging up new pictures. I expect to continue to see great things from this place. And with some exciting new heart, behind a long list of already superb recipes, I think more great things will come for Southdown Kitchen Pizza. read more

Been my go to pizza place for six months. Nothing has ever been less than five stars with them. Great food, great staff, fast delivery.

I have noticed something in pizza quality in general ......Some places have the smoother & lighter cheese that goes down easy -- and some have the too-elastic cheese. I guess , the later is cheaper quality? Well Southdown uses the elastic cheese that takes forever to chew. Sorry but Huntington has like 35 pizza parlours (the best is Portofino !) so no reason that you can't find your perfect inner-cheese and I prefer mine soft. read more

First time there i had the stuff shells. I dont eat meat but they had a chesseburger pizza with pickles loved really good. But my food was so good. On my goodness, delicious. Will be back. read more

One and Done. What a disgusting and awful meal I just threw away. Southdown Pizza says it's been in business since 1967, I wonder if that's how old the piece of chicken I got was. Service was not friendly, I didn't get a "Hello" or "Can I help you" when I picked up my food. The words "Thank you" were also missing from their vocabulary. The chicken parm hero I got was dry, and actually looked like it was previously frozen. It was about the same quality as a high school cafeteria. My wife got pasta and meat sauce but there was no meat in it. Zero!!! It was once of the most bland and bitter sauces I've ever had. We had to throw our food away and go back out again for dinner. My hard earned money down the drain. I would have passed on reviewing Southdown Pizza and just called to return the food, but unfortunately the service was so uncaring it would have been a waste of time. read more

I'm giving this review two stars, because I really like their Mac n cheese pizza. Sadly my experience tonight started off with them being out of it. I was a little bummed out, but you can't expect to get everything you want during a pandemic, right? You should atleast be able to have some friendly service though! My boyfriend and I were the only two people in the store and a young guy came up to take our order. He took the slices my bf ordered and put them in to heat up and didn't come back. So I waited patiently, so I could add on my slices. While I'm waiting another lady walks in and the woman working told me very rudely that I needed to move so the lady could order. I tried to explain that I was actually in the middle of ordering my slices, but the guy hadn't come back to finish our order. She then yelled at me that the lady behind me needed to see the slices so she could order, to which I responded, but I'm here trying to do the same. I'm in the middle of my order. She then yelled at me that I needed to go sit down over there and could look at the pizza when the other lady was finished. When I sat down my bf asked what was wrong and I (slightly upset) explained to him what just happened. Once he stood up to say something the lady half ass apologized and said the woman ordered earlier (if that's true why did I have to move for her to choose pizza?) Decided to try to just brush it off and I went ahead and ordered two slices. They only gave me one of them... wtf?! At this point I didn't want to waste anymore time for just mediocre cold pizza. I left and went and got my slice down the street at DiRaimos where the pizza is always tasty and the staff is always friendly! read more

The worst food I have ever had. Burnt chicken parm, sauce on pasta which I told them not to do. No sauce on chicken parm. Burnt veal that you couldn't bite into. When cut it was like eating rubber. First and last time. A waste of money, all went in the garbage. read more

Cons: -Delivery took over 1hr on a Monday. -Pizza arrived cold---so cold in fact that the cheese could slide off in a solid mass and retain its shape. -Pizza did not come out of an insulated transport sleeve. -Fee of $2.00 for delivery. Pros: -One of the only pizza places that delivers in Huntington. This was the second time I ate from Southdown. I was underwhelmed the first time and decided to give the establishment a second chance. I will not try again. read more

Great sauce and cheese, overall excellent pizza. I eat only the cheese and the margherita - I'm a purist. The pizza is always fresh, and everyone who works there is fabulous. Excellent lunch special, too. read more

Southdown Kitchen - Dedicated parking! - Pizza Near Me - Huntington, New York

Southdown Pizza is a total Jem. Total barebones pizzeria. They don't make pizzerias like this anymore. I love their plain pizza.

The eggplant parmigiana delivered to my door last night was literally the best dish of that kind I have ever eaten, and since that is my go-to dish whenever I eat Italian, that says a lot. I don't think I have ever had eggplant parmigiana that felt like it melted in my mouth, so tender and tasty. Compliments to the chef!!! Speedy pleasant service too. read more

The chicken Parmesan hero was horrible, we decided to order after receiving a coupon for buy 2 heroes get 1 free. The bread was not fresh, the chicken was dry, and it tasted like it had been reheated. The sauce wasn't that good (probably from a can) and the cheese quality was poor. read more

Lots of speciality pizza. Most of them gross. I had the "chicken dijon" and it tasted like it had sugar in it. Really disgusting. With all the pizza places in Huntington you can do much better. read more

Nothing like it! Not to mention it's owned by the best family around.

The penne a la vodka is one of my favorites. The sauce is incredible. Fast delivery, nice and friendly delivery guys. The pizza has always been delicious. I got a chicken roll there once and it was literally bigger than my face and felt like it weighed a pound. (Lasted me for lunch for a few days!) You can customize what you put in most things, too. read more

My wife and I grew up in Huntington, and regularly ate at Southdown our whole lives. Whenever we come back to the island to visit, we always look forward to stopping in and getting our favorite eats. Lately, Southdown has really let us down. The baked ziti used to be saucy and cheesy, and a bit al dente. The last couple of times (we've been disappointed more than once), the ziti has been soggy, dry, and with barely any cheese. The pizza? Okay... We live in manhattan now so maybe I've gotten spoiled, but I do remember at least being able to finish a slice from Southdown... I can't now. The buffalo chicken slice is dry, bland, and also lacking cheese. I won't go into the fact that my delivery didn't even include everything I ordered. It will be sad to say goodbye, but we won't be coming back. read more

Want authentic NY style pizza? This is the place to go. I ordered the buffalo chicken slice and boyfriend had meatball. Really high quality, fresh ingredients used and the crust was perfect. Light and airy, not greasy at all. Cheese was creamy and melted in my mouth. Guys behind the counter were very friendly. If you're craving excellent pizza at a fair price check out Southdown kitchen. You can tell they put a lot of love into their pies. read more
