    Half regular pizza half pepperoni
    Nataliya K.

    We stopped by to get my niece some pizza , and it was really good . I feel like Surf city is under new management . Their menu changed The service was attentive , the atmosphere was friendly . The pizza had very thin crust and tasted really good . The prices are ok, because you are right by the amusement park. We will be back

    It's across the street from Luna park on Surf Ave. It has an outside patio. They have more than pizza here which is awesome. Pizza is def good here. They also have what looks like a small bar area that can pass as a coffee bar as well. Upon entering it's a bit confusing if you get seated or you order at the counter. I'd suggest they'd put a sign up like "please wait to be seated or Seat yourself". Staff was cool and friendly. I'd def come back when in Coney. Beats the heat for sure.

    This was one of the worst and most humiliating experiences I've ever had at a business. I politely asked to use the restroom and clearly said I would purchase something. I really just needed to use the bathroom and couldn't hold it. Instead of responding respectfully, the employee physically pushed me. I told her not to touch me, but she pushed me again. Then the manager came over and started yelling at me as well, which made the situation even more upsetting. I was not being aggressive or disrespectful in any way I was simply asking to use the restroom and was ready to buy something. I have never felt so disrespected and uncomfortable in a place like this. No one should be treated this way. If the restroom is not available, that can be communicated politely. There is absolutely no excuse for physical contact and shouting at a customer. This was completely unacceptable behavior from both staff and management. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

    Surf City is the best restaurant after a half marathon!! It has been my 3rd year eating here after Brooklyn Half and it does not disappoint! Location: It is located in Coney Island. Right in front of Cyclone. There a lot of seatings inside and outside! Service: the staff were nice, they are very attentive and give us recommendations. Food: The food is always good! 3 years I have been going here and everything was delicious. PENNE ALA VODKA with SHRIMP: it is probably my favorite! The pasta is cooked al dente and the sauce was just delicious! They topped it with grilled shrimp and it was the perfect addition to the sauce! MARGHERITA PIZZA: best type of pizza here for me! The crust is crispy and cooked properly. The sauce and mozzarella is delicious. 1 slice and I'm already full. SPAGHETTI with MEATBALLS: very authentic! The meatballs is juicy and flavorful inside. The sauce is af course tomato base and tangy. The pasta again is cooked al dente! Price rating: 6/10. To be honest the price is not bad for authentic Italian food. I will definitely come back here to try other food!

    The table at the end is where I was sitting, no one is sitting there when I was walking out. Reserved?

    Their food is ok I mean nothing special definitely can find better pizza in Brooklyn. Price wise 2 regular slice and a can coke $10. It's Coney Island whatever in the colder/ cooler months they are cheaper I think. I guess that's the only way they can survive in Coney Island price goes up in the warmer months and cheaper in the colder months. I am local in the neighborhood I get pizza here when I don't want to cook. Do I really sit and have pizza? No since my house is close by. However it will be LAST TIME EVER coming to this establishment. Today 5/17 Brooklyn half marathon since I have something to do on surf Ave. and I had some time to eat before I go run my errands. I decided to go get pizza and sit down since it was a warm day. No seats were available so there's a few bar tables no chairs tho. But whatever I stood there ate few bites I saw an empty table walked and sat down. I was just going to eat and get going. If I didn't have plantar fasciitis (permanent heel pain) I wouldn't mind standing and eat. The bus boy manager, I believe or whatever he is cause this is a self serve establishment, like fast food restaurant . Did a waiter served me ? "NO" did a hostess bring me to my table with a menu "NO" this SURF CITY employee came to me and said this table is reserved can you sit somewhere else? I am like where am I sitting ? He points at the bar. I got up and walked to the bar with my pizza and soda . I asked him since when pizzeria have reserved table ? He goes with his lecturing tone of voice this is a restaurant and u are one person that's a 10 people table am I going to lose 10 customers cause of one customer. I was literally in shock how he spoke to me. I am not at a fancy 5 star restaurant I don't expect no superior service. In other words I was kicked out of my seat cause I was by myself, a minority female or cause I am not the ideal privilege group in their case is their annual tourists or marathon runners, orrr this establishment need to train their worker. The next time I go to a pizzeria I will ask if the bigger tables are RESERVED for bigger groups only and there are no smaller tables available. There were no big party waiting for a big table, If party of 9 came to ask if any body was sitting on the table that I was I would have gladly let the other party sit there. Still in shock this establishment allows their employee speak to customer like this. Lost a customer I will make sure my friends and family know about this. Their food is ok there's plenty of better pizzerias in the area that have way better pizza, but for that treatment no thanx i can't even say customer service was bad cause wtf it's f*+*cking self service, a fast food joint. MANAGEMENT PLEASE don't leave a reply saying we are sorry it happened and I should give your pizzeria another try. Other customers saw what happened so did the manager/owner. One star for the manager/owner who tried to convince me not to be mad and gave me a beer I wasn't there for beer tho, I was there to eat my pizza drink my soda minding my own business and be out. Probably woulda took me 20 mins to eat the pizza drink my soda and be out. The picture of the table in the back I was sitting at, when I left still no one sitting there I guess their reserved party still didn't arrive yet

    Super cute pizza place that matches the whole Coney Island vibe! Pizza was great! Service was friendly and helpful!

    Ice cold beer

    They no longer have the ice cold beer. Came twice specifically for it, yesterday and about 6 months ago. Both times they indicated that they don't have it. The ice cold beer is definitely the draw, without it, it's just another NYC style pizza place.

    Not a bad spot for pizza and Italian eats in Coney Island. Located on Surf Ave across the street from the boardwalk it's an alternative to grabbing a slice at one of the many small food joints here. A little pricey but it's a full restaurant experience with a nice setting as compared to walking around with a slice on a paper plate.

    Food here is just okay. It is very easy to get to as it is just off the West 8th St/New York Aquarium station on the F/Q lines. You could also walk the extra 5 minutes from Coney Island/Stillwell Ave station on the above lines, as well as the D/N lines. They sell pizza here, and the pizza is solidly okay. The slice has a nice marriage of cheese and sauce, but it could use to be cooked a little longer. It is a floppy slice and the crust is a bit too chewy for my liking. I also got a potato and egg hero. This was pretty filling! They basically use eggs and French fries and combine the two of them to form a delicious sandwich. It is a big sandwich and contains a lot of both potatoes and eggs. I was surprised at how big it is. For that nice summer evening after a day at the beach, if you want a change from Nathan's, this will work nicely. Especially if you do not like hot dogs. Just keep it in perspective, and you will end up satisfied.

    Food came out in no time, the issue for me was the delay in getting my check.. I had to ask for it several times and then when I finally got it, it was someone else's check and my ride was already waiting. This is a convenient location for a quick meal, I'd rate the food a 7, but it was perfect coming from the aquarium, less than 5 minute walk.

    Great Pizzeria located in the picturesque Coney Island area right across the street from the infamous Cyclone. It offers a vast selection of all kinds of very appetizing looking pizzas, calzone, stromboli, rolls plus many of traditional Italian dishes. Interesting ambiance, very courteous and friendly staff, young bartender was kind enough to show me all sorts of exotic beers and spirits they have in stock and advised a great one-"Fat Tire" which I never had before but enjoyed tremendously and it was a perfect compliment to the slice of the magnificent Margherita pizza I picked also following an advice of a very pleasant pizza maker plus traditional Italian chicken & cheese roll which was huge and was served with a side dish of the delectable house made marinara sauce. Pizza was delicious-flavorful, scrumptious with an amazing crunchy but soft crust and lots of yummy cheese, so was the chicken roll which was so enormous, I wasn't able to eat it all and took the 2nd half home. All in all-great dining experience, definitely recommend to everyone visiting Luna Park and Coney Island beach to drop by for a refreshing drink and a hearty meal. P. S. They have this intriguingly looking machine with an ancient fortune teller-Zaltar that reminded me of an old movie with Tom Hanks "Big" where similar machine changed young boy's life forever so I couldn't resist and paid Zaltar for the reading, hoping it will change my life too. https://youtu.be/Q6RK4479XD8

I think this is what Detroit pizza should taste like (haven't been to MI) but it's one of my favorite types of pizza besides classic NY or Sicilian.

She got me set up and ready within 10 minutes. The shop was busy at 11pm to closing and everyone looked like they were having a good time. It's a bar pizza shop in the heart of Williamsburg.

It has become my go-to whether I'm fueling up before a night out or attempting to resurrect myself the day after. The food comes out quick and consistently punches above its weight,easily some of the best in its class. The staff are super friendly and nail that perfect balance between attentive and laid-back, which fits right in with the spot's chill 90s vibe. And do yourself a favor, order the root beer. It comes in a frozen mug and is probably the most uplifting thing you'll ever put in your mouth. Fair warning:,the place gets packed, If you can make a reservation.

Not sure what the menu currently says, but the menu from just 3 months ago said it's 18% for a party under 6. Maybe they've changed it. Not sure. This is the first restaurant we've been to with 20% auto gratuity for a party under 6. But the borderline dishonest part is that the check that you sign tells you in tiny letters that tip was already added, but has huge font for additional tip and written out tip calculations, so it is very easy to tip 40% without noticing. Sometimes I do tip extra generously, but I don't want to feel like I was tricked into doing it! Looking thru reviews here, I see other people also experienced this, including people in small parties who were locked into the 20% when it should have definitely been 18%. :/ So close to a good experience, but ruined by tricksy billing.
