white slice
Jason M.

Another pizzeria in the Bronx? Yes, another pizzeria in the Bronx. There's one on practically every corner so might as well add one more. This place caught my eye when my Yelp friends the Tasty Ladies gave it a good review, so my other Yelp friend Mercedes C and I decided to stop here for a quick lunch. So, personal gripe from the start - I'm not a fan of the name. It's too generic - sounds like the name of a pizzeria NOT located in the Bronx. But, that's just me. The inside looks like a typical pizzeria - the tables and chairs were wooden which was nice to see; besides that, nothing too special about the decor. Walking up to the counter, there were a lot of different types of pizzas, calzones, and pinwheels; mmmmm carbs. The white pizza looked exceptional, so I decided to have a slice of that with a diet Snapple. They also serve egg creams which was nice to see (I didn't try one though). The pizza was pretty good - the flavors worked. The crust was a tad too thick for my personal taste, but it wasn't too thick that I was drowning in carbs (though I don't mind drowning in carbs sometimes ;-). What makes this place stand out for me though is the service; this one guy especially behind the counter was super friendly and made sure we were taken care of - I really appreciated his attitude. Good place overall; it's not in my neighborhood so I'm not ready to call it my go-to pizza place just yet, but they definitely get respect from me for good customer service and an expanded variety of offerings.

The Bronx Pizzeria, stomped their way in Throggs Neck a Few months ago. And when The Tasty Ladies documented their visit, Jason M. and I, decided to try a slice and some refreshments. The name is synonymous with old-fashioned neighborhood pizzerias: typical yellow menu boards and wooden tables/chairs decor. It's flashback to that 80s-straight-up-Bronx-corner-pizza-spot! Nothing fancy and definitely, not the spot to grab an artisanal pie or slice. In turn, our slices were decent (thick for my taste, nonetheless, good): my Plain Slice, had a suitable amount of cheese and light sauce and Jason's, 'White Slice' looked divine. Service was warm and friendly and one of the gentlemen, hooked me up with a Vanilla egg cream that came together ok, with a good trace of fizz. Nice to see a family business, opening and thriving every step of the way in The Bronx!

What type of dough is this?

Lol where do I even begin? I placed an order through grub hub and decided to trust yelp reviews based on pizza places delivering to my address. This seemed to be the best one apparently. First off, that in itself is a major lie. Delivery time was fast which is always great. Once I had opened my box, I didn't expect to see what I saw. 4 small slices in the hugest box that has now caused my "toppings" to shift off the slices. I had ordered special slices and noted in toppings I wanted in hopes they'd understand that's the type of specialty slice I longed for. Judging from the photos posted by the business owner onto yelp, it's what I expected to get in the special slice. Instead, what I received was the complete opposite. They literally took the saddest plain slices they must of had sitting there and threw the toppings I wanted on them. For example, I asked for any slice that contained eggplant or veggies that they might of had available and they actually just threw a long thin by sliced piece of unseasoned eggplant onto the slice. They didn't even cut the eggplant into pieces lol. (See photos). The chicken on my chicken broccoli was a joke in the entire slice itself. The pizza dough was surrounded by crust that was now eating its way into my pizza so it was pretty much just crust. The dough itself was so paper thin (See photos) that it just tasted like cardboard. And the chicken was chewy and just not edible. To be fair, I asked for crispy but did not realize that today the crust would be paper thin causing it to just burn instead. The greatest part of this all is when I called the pizza place to complain about it, what I heard what he last thing any consumer should hear. I imagined it to be better like maybe say "I'm sorry that Your pizza didn't come out right", "I'm sorry for this, let us remake it for you" - honestly, a simple sorry would of been great. Instead, I have this poor, poor girl on the end of the other line dealing with me and the owner now. I could hear the owner in the back screaming at the top of his lungs. At first, I thought there was a game on their tv and maybe a customer was getting excited. As I listened closer, it's the actual owner arguing with me in the background about how I have shitty taste and how his pizza is the best I will ever have. Insulting me and cursing at me through this poor girl he has on the phone. Didn't even have the guts to pick up himself and say these things to me. To the owner, you are so rude and disgusting, so disrespectful that I am even surprised at how you even have a customer base. I'm actually even shocked that you've managed to gain 4stars on Yelp and maintain it. Wow. Your pizza is actually one of the worst I've ever had. I've had frozen pizza that tasted better than this trash you serve. At this point, I would've been happier with papa johns or lil cesers as much as it kills me to say that. This is the first and last time I will ever be ordering from this establishment. So much better to actually drive out of my way to get better pizza like Full Moon. This place is an absolute joke and a nightmare!

Over 10 different kinds of pizza!

So I went to review a new Pizzeria today in the Bronx. Like we need another pizza joint in the Bronx! It's taking the place of another Pizza place that went out of business, so I wasn't that excited. The Bronx Pizzeria & Restaurant has a full menu with over 10 varieties of pizza, fresh made calzones, pasta dishes, entrees, chicken wings, etc. Yada Yada Yada! I ordered about 6 different items to start and no I did not eat it all! Remember Bikini season is coming! I started with their famous "Grandma's" pizza. The sauce, the cheese and crust is top notch and delicious with fresh basil sprinkled on top! Plus on Mother's Day it will be 1/2 off for moms! ( $10 a pie instead of $20!!) I can understand why it's famous now! The Hawaiian slice was so flavorful with the ham and juicy pineapple! The sausage was great with big chunks of spicy sausage!! White pizza is not my cup of tea because I love the sauce, but this slice of white was really surprising! It was seasoned perfectly with gobs of gooey cheese atop and a crunchy crust! Onto the calzones, we had the chicken Parmignia ( of course) calzone that was stuffed with a lot of tender chicken, mozzarella and sauce in a crunchy shell. But my favorite has to be the Pepperoni Pinwheel roll !! These were amazing and put me right on the flavor train to fulfillment vile! You HAVE TO TRY ONE OR TWO!! The place is not fancy but owners Chris and Claire have jazzed it up with colorful pictures and one long runner that is very attractive! But you don't go to a Bronx Pizzeria for ambiance but great pizza, the best in the world!! And this Bronx Tastyladies NY should know being raised on great Bronx Pizza! Check out all their specials on their beautiful web site at http://www.thebronxpizzeria.com/ and their Facebook and Instagram pages! Delivery is free and they are also on Yelp24 and Grubhub for online convenience.

All the raw dough in my Pepperoni Roll. NOT CHEESE ! Trust me I tasted it

City Island Diner is one of those beloved neighborhood staples you return to again and again for…read moresolid, homestyle cooking. It has that classic diner setup - think stools at the counter, a full view of the flattop, and all the comforting sounds and smells of breakfast being made. I love grabbing a front row seat for breakfast and a show. They serve the best Bloody Mary in the Throggs Neck/City Island/Pelham Bay area. Honestly, it's a bit of a shame that they're the only spot around here doing it right -- freshly made, well-balanced, and packed with flavor. But I'm glad they've cornered the market, because it gives me another reason to keep coming back. The food consistently hits the mark, always hot, fresh, and satisfying. I've been here countless times, but on our most recent visit, we stopped in for lunch. We had a burrito filled with carne asada (generous and flavorful), and the pork and broccoli rabe hero. And let me tell you, that pork sandwich was elite. If you ever spot it on the menu, don't think twice. Order it. (Or don't, so there's more for me.) The service is always on point, attentive without being overbearing. The staff achieve a great balance and are always happy to help. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or just a killer Bloody Mary, City Island Diner delivers every time.

Great specials! Always great service!!…read moreGreat bloodys! Love the charming classic countertop diner! We will def be back! Cheers!
