I've eaten at Pepe's, Sally's, and plenty of well-known Manhattan spots, and Stone's is now the…read moretop of my list. I'm a biker, and we're known for spending $25 on gas to find a great slice. Stone's is worth the ride. Outstanding food, friendly people, and a comfortable, casual atmosphere. I'm already planning my next trip for sandwiches and a pie to bring to my brother's house. If you're traveling Route 9 through Wappingers Falls, stop here.

I'm ready to make a bold declaration: Stone's is the best pizza shop…read more Not the best around. Not the best I've found in Wappingers. The best pizza shop. Period. I know. That's a ridiculous statement to make about pizza. I'm not Portnoy, and I'm not basing it on one bite and an 8.3. In fairness, I have 10+ reps here now--eating in, taking out and delivery--and at this point I'm ready to pour a little affection on this place. Stone's is just it. Want an exceptional plain slice? It's here. Want some of the best wings you've had from a pizza shop? They're here--and they're frying them in beef tallow. Want a carefully considered specialty slice that actually earns the right to be different? Pick one behind the glass. Want a sandwich? A pizza shop frankly shouldn't be making sandwiches this stupidly delicious, but apparently Stone's decided that was their lane too. The creativity isn't there for novelty. These guys clearly think about food. And that's really what separates Stone's for me: consideration. The dough gets a minimum 48-hour fermentation. The ingredients matter. The wings matter. The sandwiches matter. The sauces matter. The way a slice is constructed matters. There is a level of intention here that you can taste before you ever know any of that. But I probably wouldn't love Stone's this much if it were only about the food. I love the playful banter from behind the glass. I love asking about a slice and getting an answer from someone who is genuinely excited to tell you what they made. I love that on more than one occasion I've been sent home with a few tastes of something I hadn't ordered or hadn't gotten the chance to try. Those little interactions stick with you. The ownership loves what they're doing, they've mastered their craft, and somehow they've managed to make that enthusiasm contagious. There are plenty of places that make great pizza. Stone's feels like a great pizza shop. There's a difference. So, to the ownership of Stone's: keep going. Whatever you're trying to build here, don't stop. It feels inevitable that more people are going to discover this place. Watching that happen is going to be fun. P.S. -- Stone's may not know this yet, but they've developed a strangely loyal satellite market in Garrison, NY. It's basically two houses: mine and my neighbor's. We've figured out both how to make the Wappingers-to-Garrison run and, somehow, how to get Stone's delivered all the way down here. So if an order is making that unlikely trip south, there's a pretty safe chance it's headed to one of our houses. Consider us the unofficial Garrison chapter. Can't wait to watch this place grow. 5/5.

Giacomo's was THE place to get pizza growing up in Spackenkill. Everyone would go here with their…read morefamilies, their friends, order in from here, etc. The Spackenkill soccer team used to even have dinners here the day before big games. Giacomo's is definitely known for its pizza, but they have a bunch of other options from appetizers like fries or mozzarella sticks, to pasta dishes, to salads, they have almost everything. The huge problem with Giacomo's is the inconsistency. In the early 2000's, this place was the pinnacle of pizza. Everyone agreed that this was the best in town. However, over the years, their quality/service began to slip (especially delivery) and their pizzas were hit-or-miss and you could sometimes be waiting nearly 2 hours for a pizza delivery. Sometimes, you get the best pizza of your life and sometimes you get a really mediocre one. It is all a game of chance. It does however, bring back so much nostalgia for me either way. My go to's are the original cheese pie, Sicilian, spicy chicken, grandma, and the garlic knots.

Back then, we knew it was special. What we didn't realize was just how much we'd miss it after moving away to Western New York. For this visit, we drove more than an hour out of our way specifically to eat here. That's how much this place means to us. We ordered two mushroom slices, a white slice, and a cheese slice, and every bite reminded us why we've been talking about this pizza for more than twenty years. The slices are huge, loaded with fresh ingredients, and somehow manage to hold their shape perfectly. No floppy crust. No toppings sliding off. Just classic New York pizza done exactly right. In fact, Emiliano's is our gold standard pizza pie. Every other pizza we eat gets measured against it. The mushroom slices were generously topped and packed with flavor. The cheese slice was everything a New York slice should be: simple, balanced, and delicious. The white slice was outstanding as well. While we waited, the owner even brought us a complimentary piece of fried dough, which was a thoughtful and very appreciated gesture. What really stands out, though, is the atmosphere. Service was prompt and genuinely friendly. It seemed like everyone who walked through the door knew somebody. There's a strong sense of community here that feels increasingly rare these days. More than twenty years after we first became customers, Emiliano's is still everything we remembered it to be. Affordable, welcoming, and serving what we consider the best pizza around. We'll keep making the trip back. Without question. This is New York-style pizza at its finest.

Fortunately, a friend in the area recommended Emiliano's Pizza. I'm glad I took her advice. Not only do they have a damn good gluten free crust for a personal size pizza, I want to know where they get their pepperoni from! It had a nice zing to it that was spicy without being overbearing. The service was as good as the food, and the ambiance reminded me of an old local Italian restaurant I used to visit before they closed their doors. I just wish they had longer hours on Sunday!

We did 2 each, which was probably over-doing it, but the flavors were solid. Between the grandma's slice, the white pizza, chicken bacon ranch, and the veggie, there was plenty of variety. Is this the best pizza I've ever had? No. Does it get the job done? Yes and then some. A caveat is that because we did by-the-slice at around 2pm, nothing was super fresh. We particularly enjoyed chatting with the owner. He mentioned how he'd started in the Bronx and moved out here for a slower pace of life. Great guy, super engaging if you take the time to initiate the conversation. Shared a bit about his background too. There are a few tables inside, but I'd imagine that during the school year over lunch it gets pretty busy. Will have to try carryout some time.
