Inside this small pizzeria, under the faded banners of Naples and the fluorescent sky of drop-ceiling panels, there is a fire that transforms dough into something transcendent. The 14-inch New York style pie, though humble in appearance, carried the taste of flame--char at the edges, molten cheese stretching like strands of fate itself. It is food born of combustion, where destruction and creation meet in a single crust. To accompany it, the fizz of fountain Pepsi, a sugary abyss that reminds us of how fleeting sweetness always is. Hours later, a paper slip marks another ritual: french fries, five dollars, golden and crisp like relics of a lost civilization. Their shells shattered with the sound of brittle leaves, yielding to a soft, cloudlike core, a contradiction that somehow felt inevitable. Service here is brisk, kind, almost invisible--human hands guiding plates and receipts without ceremony, as if to remind us that in the end, sustenance is a quiet transaction between hunger and its brief relief. On the walls, evidence of solidarity: framed certificates, banners for local teams, support for first responders. In this act of giving back, the restaurant affirms that even within the universe's cold indifference, there are pockets of warmth where community clings together, like sparks refusing to die in the wind. It is a good thing to find such steadfast generosity and flavor in one place. read more

I dined alone here and took the recommendation of another reviewer and got the cheese ravioli with pink sauce. It was super good! Dinner came with garlic break toasted to perfection. The food was a real pleasure! The setting was so-so--a kind of tired-looking.neighborhood diner. The take-out counter was very busy. read more

Not my fave. The stomach was growling and the human that I'm harboring led me here. I probably should have just waited. I picked the pizza that was all veggies, the folk kept trying to up sell me, which I didn't dig. Nothing was spectacular about the pizza, not too much flavor, probably had been sitting out for too long, won't be back. read more

I've ordered carry out from Trattoria E Pizzeria many times now. We mostly order the pizza and cheesesteak sub. I have no issues with the sub. I've always found it delicious. I have read that place is close to NYC pizza. Living in NYC for twelve years, I was super excited to try their pizza. Unfortunately, it is not like NYC pizza, maybe NY style. The crust isn't as crispy as a NYC slice. The pizza is a hit or miss. One time, our pizza was cold and called to complain. They graciously offered a free pie to make up the one that we didn't like. I haven't eaten inside this place but it is very cute and casual for date night with a glass of wine. They do have wine by the bottle if you want to buy one. The owner has always been very nice to us and we frequent this place when we want pizza. The pizza is a bit on the saltier side. But, we probably carry out in this place twice a month. read more

The food was fresh and good. The service was top tier; every 5 mins someone was popping in asking if we were good. We were the only ppl there at first on a Sunday. No alcohol on Sundays really threw me off. read more

I used to like going here often. Ordered pizza for dinner and parties. Now I will never enter this establishment again. I understand that they have had problems from kids stealing that attend HHS. Now this has resulted in racial profiling. This NOT ACCEPTABLE! My child tried to order a pizza to go and they made her leave. While a Caucasian child with a HHS shirt on was able to order a pizza and sit inside the establishment to eat it! Fair is fair! Please boycott this establishment!! read more

I have been searching for sometime for Sicilian pizza in the DC area and have really not found much. Lots of New York style pizza. Lots of wood fire pizza. But really, not Sicilian like the kind you would get in Philadelphia or the boroughs in New York today. I was in Columbia to run some errands and several Internet reviews recommended this place for Sicilian pizza. So I have to try it first of all the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I ordered a plain cheese, Sicilian pizza. The crust was not soggy at all, and was crunchy and the tomato sauce was very good while it was the Sicilian pizza crust was not quite as thick as what you would get farther up north, but this is a Pizza I would definitely recommend if you are in the area, it was the only thing I tried, but several people were eating different items when I picked up my pizza and they all looked very good read more

We got pasta dinners from here last night and they were pretty impressive! We are a bit of pasta snobs, and I really enjoyed their alfredo. It was creamy and cheesy with plenty of flavor. Some of the broccoli was a little mushy and overcooked, but overall I was happy. The chicken parm was huge and cooked really well. Their red sauce has a slight sweet flavor that we weren't huge fans of, but the meal was still delicious. The garlic knots were a nice appetizer to start as well! We would definitely order carry out from here again. read more

This is one of my favorite pizza places. Everyone was so nice and the pizza is some of the best south of Jersey.

Trattoria E Pizzeria - One bite. Everyone knows the rules. 6.3! - Pizza Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I'm sorry to that the last pie I got yesterday was a complete disappointment. It was the most salty pizza I've ever had. The tomato sauce was just about nonexistent and no tomato flavor came through at all. It was basically subpar cheese melted over unremarkable crust. The "NY" style dough was not even close to being that. Instead of a thin crust with a nice char, the crust was doughy, flavorless and sloppy. The pie was basically inedible. I've had good pizza here before so I don't know if this bad pie was a one-off. Nevertheless, I won't be making a special trip to get a pizza from here again. I'd rather get a mediocre pizza from one of the many places in the DMV that were so much better than "authentic " pizza I got from this place. read more

Local pizza, and I love to go there with friends! Decorations in the restaurant are VERY fond of soccer. Flags and posters everywhere! We go there about 2..4.. days a month? The slices are huge and do special deals on Wednesday. I love this place! It's conveniently located near a Rita's and a outdoor eating area, for a treat afterwords and choice of seating! The waiters were nice, but didn't interact as much as I had hoped. They are very popular, as I can tell. read more

Service was not so great. We waited at our table for our pizza and it never came. Went to the counter and it was just sitting there?? Even though all the other tables were brought theirs. It was barely warm when we took our first bite. The cheese pizza was so salty that my child wouldn't eat it and I only managed one slice. read more

Legit pizza. The pizza is thin, chewy, and has a slight crisp to it . Pizza feels light which is good, don't want to feel super heavy afterwards. The wings were just okay, got the Chesapeake buffalo and seems like the sauce was too liquidity. Overall, solid place. read more

Great food! Staff is always friendly and efficient. Pizza is perfect, everything tasted fresh. Love this place!

Wide variety of authentic Italian food at a very affordable price. Fast service. Nice, relaxing neighborhood vibe.

this place has really gone downhill. I went before and they had the best cheesesteak in town. I went 2 weeks ago and it was entirely different very skimpy on meat. it didn't even reach the ends of the roll was mostly bread, before it had a lot of meat and was very satisfying. very disappointed. I also got 2 slices of pepperoni and sausage but all they did was sprinkle some sausage pieces on top and gave it to me. it wasn't baked in at all. very disappointed and will not be going back read more

Heard a lot about this place on how it's the best pizza in hoco. Gotta say it's awfully disappointing. The pizza is soggy and very salty. Not sure why everyone on reddit is claiming it's close to ny style pizza...it's not. Not a foodie by any means nor a pizza connoisseur/expert but i can assure you it's nothing like a ny style pizza. Two stars bc they had my order ready on time read more

Tucked away in the Kings Contrivance village center, this pizzeria has a wide array of options to choose from. Their chicken wings and pizza are great, but truthfully their best food is their pasta dishes. As someone with two Italian parents, I tend to be picky about my pasta but this place does it right and quite authentically. I highly recommend the pasta aurora or one of their raviolis. read more

For years this was the closest thing to New York pizza that you could find in Howard County. Even the feel of the eat in experience was same as a street corner Bronx pizzeria. I used to tell the owner exactly that. This was always the place to go for a slice or a whole pie. The last 2 or 3 times ordering a pie for pickup my wife and I noticed a difference in quality. I also had noticed that the owner I had come to know didn't seem to be there. Last week my son and his wife were in town and they wanted to return for some slices as they had done a year earlier. It took one bite for each of us to come to the same conclusion. Although we had slices from 2 different pies they were both terrible. As my son said, how is it possible to have an overly done burnt pizza edge yet the rest of the pizza is soggy? I can't answer that question, but there was also the scantest amount of cheese and really no noticeable tomato taste. I'm not certain if there is a new owner but the recent quality had tumbled in my opinion. I also noticed that it was like a ghost town in the dining area, which was unlike what we typically would experience on a Saturday at lunchtime. I'm very hardpressed to recommend this once very, very good place for its pizza. read more

I really liked this pizza spot! It was simple, greasy satisfying pizza. Perfect when you just need a slice or two to get you through the day. read more

After getting a cold pizza the first time I picked up, I tried again. It was hot this time. It was good pizza, although certainly not the best in the area. read more

Customer Service is absolutely terrible! Wherever I show patronage to a place of business to enjoy a meal, my expectation is to experience a certain level of professionalism. Most businesses are in the market to stay in business. However, this restaurant has earned a low rating because they do not greet their customers properly, do not show a professional level of courtesy when they attempt to communicate, and overall do not have a cordial telephone manner as well. Although I have visited this restaurant, at least 3 times, they still fail to realize the value of a customer. Frankly speaking, they seemed ok during the height of the pandemic. Never again will I throw away my finances to support any business that has a difficult time with the fundamentals of quality customer service. read more

I have been here many times and truly enjoy each visit. The staff is very easy-going, the food is great, and the prices are reasonable. Both Siskel and Ebert would give it a strong thumbs up. read more

I grew up in Kings Contrivance and now live in Laurel, but I always come here when I'm craving a quality NY style slice. The crust is thin with a slight crisp and chew and the cheese is the right level of salt and melt. I'm also a fan of the price and always have a pleasant experience there! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I haven't tried anything else on the menu, ever lol But, I will update my review when I do! read more

This pizza place has been here for approximately 40 years. I've been coming here since I was a child. It's the best pizza joint in the area. I moved back into the area and I was happy to see this place. I brought my daughter here and she loves it. This is the only place she want pizza from. read more

I'm sad to leave a poor review as this was my favorite pizza place in the area. Something has changed and not for the better. Pizza itself was ok, Costco pizza is better. Also got the Cesar salad wrap which was blazing hot chicken and lettuce wrapped in a tough tortilla. Hot lettuce equals slimy gross lettuce, an inedible sandwich and a total waste of money. Garlic rolls and sauce were terrible. Burnt, greasy. We won't be back. read more

Pizza is always good. Reminiscent of authentic NY Pizza. Service is always good, as well.

We had 2 nice size slices of sausage, they were good must go back and try something different

I was craving a cheesesteak sub while at work and this was the closest option. Like most places they are doing takeout only due to the Covid -19. Easy to get to and there is plenty of parking in two lots that are connected to the shopping center. I called in and ordered my cheesesteak with a side of fries. They said give them 10-15 minutes. After about 15 I arrived and they had everything ready. It's was nice and hot. The cheesesteak had a pretty good flavor. It was everything I expected. They prices are about what you would expect 7 for the sub that was about 8 inches long. Plenty of meat inside so I didn't feel cheated. Fries were so so. I prefer smaller crispy fries and there were softer and larger. Over all a solid 4 star place. I will definitely order from here again while I am at work. I don't live close so don't think I would be making a trip out here on my off time. It satisfied my craving. read more

Stopped here while driving North on I95. I found it on Yelp. At the time it had 4 stars and 71 reviews. Must be good right? Wow. More like great! Totally making this a regular pit stop on the way to NJ/Philly!!! Pizza delicious! Very casual atmosphere. Booth and chairs roomy. Pizza fresh and they heated it up. Service great and relaxed. read more

This is my go to carry-out pizza spot for over 10 years, they provide consistently good cheese, pepperoni, and sausage pizzas. House salads are always fresh, however I'm not a fan of the dressing too tangy and oily. The Caesar salad and dressing is decent. The meat calzone isn't bad either but could do with more filling. Service is friendly but abrupt, they will rush you on the phone for carry out orders. It is a cafeteria style dining experience, so you fill your own drinks etc. , sometimes they will bring you your pizza other times you'll have to pick it up at the counter. They do close early, especially on Sunday nights, as other reviewers have noted the 10:30pm time frame is not accurate. I would recommend calling ahead. read more
