    Half white half red
    Rob H.

    This is a classic, old-school pizza spot that offers takeout only. The pizza itself is definitely above average--great crust and decent flavor--but the options are pretty limited. They only offer one size and stick to the standard types, so don't expect anything adventurous here. The owner mentioned they're looking to sell, which might explain why the place feels a bit stuck in time. While it's a solid choice for the area, I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. If you're nearby and craving some straightforward pizza, it's worth a try.

    #1 on the Food Network for pizza? Not sure why. Got there around 2 pm on a Saturday. It's a little bit from Coney Island and parking is horrible. Found a spot about 3 blocks away. Walked in and asked to order some slices to go, was told by what I would call a miserable older woman that said "we don't sell slices". Website says other. Ok, drove an hour to try their pizza so I order their pepperoni and mushroom pie, was told that's extra - I say ok. Pie is small, maybe 12 inches. Crust is thin and cooked perfectly - but that's about it. $36 for a pie I could get at my local place for half the price - was not impressed. Lacked in taste and toppings were sparse for the price I paid.

    Totonno's is the home of the first Neapolitan pizza maker in New York City. Very old school. No seating. Takeout or delivery only.

    I don't know what happened to this place... maybe the pizza chef changed. 60 dollars for 2 pies and they are tiny, you can eat a slice in 3 bites.....doesn't even taste close the original totonno's

    My bf and I won the Joey special (2 pizzas!) at a FRIENDS-themed event in my hometown, and got Totonno's pizzas delivered all the way to CA. So this review is only based on the taste and quality of the food. The pepperoni pizza wasn't too heavy on the cheese, and it balanced nicely with the sweet tomato sauce and tasty slices of pepperoni. Even the crust had good flavor, a noticeable difference compared to other pizzerias. It was so good, we devoured an entire Large pie in less than 15 minutes, barely talking to each other cuz we were too busy stuffing our faces :D It's not the best pizza I've ever had (there's just way too much competition), but it was still pretty damn good.

    In love with the pizza at Totonno's! A pie of red and a pie of white is where it is at and that is the play. Being around for many years, Totonno's has not lost a step in the pizza game. The service is not that of a fine dining establishment but is perfect for what Totonno's is and has always been. The ambiance is that of a small pizzeria that has been around for many years in the same location. It is not the reason why you come here but is good enough for you to sit at a table and enjoy the pizza. I especially love how the pizza has both a great chew and crunch to it. The white pie is garlicky and I love it! Just go and get both pies, you can't go wrong.

    It's back. To go only, one size only but lord have mercy are these pies the elite. We went there on Saturday, got the pies in a flash and chowed down in my double parked car.

    Solid pizza with a legendary reputation. It was not open inside so I just ordered takeout. They looked closed but you can order and pick it up. The pizza is very good and the crust is perfectly crunchy and chewy. It didn't have that coal fired look or taste that I remember from years ago but it was still good. Hope this place stays around forever!

    Totonno's Pizzeria Napolitana is a New York-style pizzeria that opened in Brooklyn, New York in 1924. It was founded by Italian immigrant Antonio "Totonno" Pero. After arriving in New York City in 1903, Pero began working at Gennaro Lombardi's grocery store in Manhattan's Little Italy. Lombardi and Pero began making tomato pies wrapped in paper and tied with string and sold them to hungry factory workers. In 1905, Lombardi received the first mercantile license to operate as a pizzeria restaurant. Pero worked as Lombardi's first pizzaiolo. The pizzeria soon had clientele that included the famous Italian tenor Enrico Caruso. After 20 years, Pero left Lombardi's and opened his own pizzeria in Coney Island. Pero trained his son Gennaro "Jerry" to make pizza. Jerry took over the business after his father became ill. He would continue to makes pies at Totonno's until he passed away in 1994. Today the establishment is run by Totonno's grandchildren Louise "Cookie" Cimineri, Frank Balzano and Antoinette "Annette" Balzano. Michael Gammone serves as their long-time pizzaiolo. My wife and I visited Totonno's for the first time in July 2019. We took a trip out to Coney Island for the day. We arrived at Totonno's when they opened for lunch, but an employee came out with a frantic look on her face. She informed us that there was a problem with the coal-fired oven and that they were going to need to delay opening time. Instead we got lunch at another Coney Island establishment: Nathan's Famous. Later in the day, we called Totonno's and they informed us that they had finally opened. We went back for an early dinner. They continued to have problems with the oven (which was causing pies to cook much slower) but we didn't mind the wait. We decided to order the Pizza Margherita and the Pizza Bianca (Mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, Garlic and Olive Oil). The pizza was excellent! The sauce on the Margherita was perfect and the crust on both pies was nice and crisp! Cookie came out and apologized to all of the customers for the long wait. We told her that the pizza was well worth it. We'll definitely be stopping back there on our next visit to Coney Island!

    It's April 2022. Does anyone know if Totonno's is open for indoor dining again? We miss them!

    They don't seem to be open at all. I drive by every day.

    Have they reopened yet? I noticed the hours are posted back on Yelp and Google but the yet to drive by and see them open.

    They have not opened at all since the pandemic (as of June 2022). Nor updated customers on when they will. It appears they want to sellout and pivot to possibly delivering frozen pies nationwide instead of the Brooklyn pizza we know and love.

    Are they open?? Everytime I drive by they are closed. Such a sad sight.

    Yes! They just posted on Facebook. They'll be open on Saturdays and Sunday's for takeout if you use Grubhub, Uber Eats, or the Slice App!

    Can you buy pizza by the slice here or do you have to buy the whole pie?

    Whole pie only

    Is Totonno's open? It's been closed now for the last few days... any info would be appreciated, thanks!

    No it is not open i live in the area drive or walk pass everyday

    Why are they closed today(Thursday)?

    They are currently only open Friday through Sunday.

    How long can I expect the wait to be for two on a Saturday 4:30/5pm? No idea if this is a wait on line for an hour type of place or what.

    20 mins? You'll probably get seated before that, if there is even a wait. It's popular but sorta out of the way and has been around forever- not like a new hype or anything. So my guess there'd be sporadic waits around the busiest hours only because… Read more

    Do they sell by the slice or pie?

    They sell pizza by the pie only and that's not a bad thing once you try it you will eat the whole pie

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.

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.

I do regret that I ate it cold after driving 30 minutes to pick it up so I did not get the full experience. But the crust was still crunchy. I do wish the toppings were a little heavier but the tomato chunks in the sauce tasted very fresh. A very classic New York style pizza and I couldn't even tell it wasn't real cheese. Vegan garlic knots were great too.

    I have never been to this one until we were unable to get into the recent concert for Tame Impala…read moreand this was a quick stroll from the arena. My daughter and I love Patsy's and if there is any pizza we want to get while in the city, this is a no-brainer. I love how classy and old-world the inside of this place looks. It makes you feel warm in the colder months, and refreshed in the warmer ones. The pizza always arrives still bubbling and with a beautiful undercarriage. They NEVER disappointed us and I would rather spend $200 per person here, than for the overpriced Tame Impala ticket.

    Patsy's Pizzeria delivers where it matters most: the food. I stopped in with a party of three…read morearound 430pm. The Margherita pizza was perfect. 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.
