I recently decided to order from this pizzeria as it has good reviews and is considered by some as…read morebeing one of the best pizza spots in NYC. Unfortunately, the food I ate fell very short of my expectations. I ordered a few slices of both their regular pizza and Sicilian. The Sicilian slices barely had any sauce and too much dough that was not flavorful at all. The cheese did not taste that good either. The regular pizza slices also lacked flavor and sauce. They were also too thin and the crust was only a little crispy. The fresh mozzarella and tomato slice tasted the worst while the slice with pepperoni was somewhat better. I'm not sure if my experience with this restaurant is an outlier, but I was very disappointed with their food. If I am ever in the area where this pizzeria is located, maybe I might stop in to get a slice to see if eating in person leads to a better experience.

I definitely have a thing for their Vodka sauce too How's the food? The meatballs are so good.. Tender.. They fall apart which I like. Not big on huge, dense meatballs anyway.. These things taste amazing! You gotta try them.. The Chicken Parm with spaghetti in Vodka Sauce is one of my favorites dishes The chicken is nice and tender, sauce has a great flavor, cheese is nice and melted, pasta perfectly cooked and it's a pretty big portion! The Mozzarella Sticks are like no other! I'm telling you! They make them fresh on-site.. Not store bought frozen sticks where the cheese pops out the casing.. These things are the real deal.. The cheese is stringy, well melted.. And they're pretty big.. They don't skimp.. Good for like 2-3 people.. I can only eat one myself.. The Pizzas are pretty good too! I really enjoy the entry dishes but if I'm with a group, I'll get a pizza to share. They're pretty small anyway. My favorite dessert is the Conollis! They have a nice airy, light casing.. The ricotta filling is so flavorful and fluffy.. So on point The service staff is always welcoming, accommodating and super cool. Really good crew. The place itself is so chill. Layback atmosphere, some really cool music plays in the background, classic Hip Hop, Funk/Soul breaks and more.. historical art decor fills the walls and vibes are always right in the spot. Might even have some games on the TVs.. great spot altogether.. You can see the Pizza cook in their fire oven.. Pretty cool I think. So if you're looking for a really cool spot to munch at in the Bronx Kingsbridge Neighborhood, you should definitely check out Kingsbridge Social Club. It's a vibe! Have a good one yall! -Ray

It turned out to be one of the best recommendations we've received. My mom, my daughter, and I absolutely loved our experience. The food was outstanding, the wine was excellent, and every dish was full of authentic Italian flavor. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing, but the staff welcomed us with a smile and never made us feel rushed. Instead, they took the time to recommend some of their favorite dishes, and every suggestion was delicious. What made the evening even more special was how kind and attentive they were to my daughter. Their hospitality was exceptional and made us feel truly welcome. If you're visiting Arthur Avenue and looking for authentic Italian cuisine with outstanding service, Zero Otto Nove is a restaurant I highly recommend. Great food, excellent wine, warm hospitality, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. We'll definitely be coming back!

I thought it was going to be superficially large pizza with a horrible taste. ON THE CONTRARY - NO! The pizza was delicious and I found the salt content to be reasonable, perfectly salted. I paid 38$ for the super sized pizza. My kids devoured it, while my wife took pictures of of the kids eating their kite sized pizza slices. I highly recommend this "Bronx Style" pizzeria. The pizza is well cooked, medium to thin sized pizza and the ratio of cheese to tomato sauce is distributed evenly with a slightly cheesier taste than tomato.

2.5/5 They got my order wrong AGAIN today…read more My parents order from them once a week or once every other week for years ONLY because they are one of the few local places that you do not need an app to get a delivery and their food is "good enough". The food at pizza pizza is average to say the least but when the man that has trouble speaking english answers we can't order anything complicated or it comes wrong and even then it may still come wrong and sometimes they forget the sodas even when it is the guy who speaks english that answers. Mount Vernon has little to offer for food besides "The Bayou" which is expensive cajun or "Johnnies pizza" which is expensive "local famous" pizza that doesn't deliver and is run by MAGA racists ... and the other local pizza spots gave my family food poisoning multiple times so the bar for food is very low in mt. Vernon and yet pizza pizza continues to let me down time and time again in the most basic ways. I even get my Chinese delivery from bronxville. The best italian in westchester still is "louis and johnnies" in yonkers but it is expensive, so the "average" places like "pizza pizza" are still getting by as the casual day to day "I am to tired to cook" mundane go to delivery spot but their prices are not low enough to justify this mediocrity or their common mistakes.

Katonah Pizza & Pasta

3.9

(94 reviews)

Excellent local Italian restaurant serving Woodlawn Heights (Bronx) and Southeast Yonkers!…read more Katonah PIzza & Pasta is the #1 choice that my girlfriend and I can agree on whenever I am with her in her home - it's been her #1 choice for most of her life growing up in southeast Yonkers and it has become my #1 choice ever since we've been dating for a few years as of writing. In this review, I have not yet dined physically at the restaurant and have always ordered takeaway through third-party delivery companies. It is worth noting that on GrubHub/Seamless, the restaurant uses their own drivers to deliver those orders while other third-party delivery services use the respective service's drivers to deliver. I've had more of Katonah's pasta than the pizza, but they keep me coming back this way. The first time I had ordered from them was in mid-2020 when I was in the mood for Spaghetti Bolognese, but I would never be able to find a place with a flavourful meat sauce like that elsewhere in the world - Katonah delivered on the missing elements that separates bland Italian restaurants in the U.S. to those that truly care about their food. With that, I began growing more curious and, the following week, I was amazed yet again with a helping of Fettuccine Alfredo. After trying their Carbonara, I was basically under the impression that they could not make a bad pasta dish and I still am not wrong to this day. Because I cannot make any remarks about the physical restaurant itself, I can only speak of the delivery service, preferably by their drivers, and I am pleased to say that the food does travel well and often arrives on-time (even during this past big game day Sunday!) Be sure to tip their drivers well when they can deliver to you. I will, one day, try their food at their restaurant as soon as it is prepared, maybe I will be blown away further than ever before! In the Northeast, there is a battle for which region, state, city/municipality, neighbourhood, family, etc. has the best Italian cuisine second-to-none. My girlfriend says this is, by far, the best out of all that deliver or are located around her home and I can, by far, say that I'm in agreement with her 100% on this. Since I'm considering moving into the neighbourhood, finding a go-to Italian restaurant is a strong step in the northeastern U.S. to making a new area feel like home - it's an odd cultural thing and you'd have to be here to make sense of it all.

Basically a plain cheese slice with lines of pesto sauce across it. The chicken parmigiana calzone was piping hot, the chicken was cut up into very small pieces with mozzarella cheese. I was particularly hungry when I ordered and it satisfied my hunger. Would I say it was the best calzone I've tested, there is no way. I would rate it a 5.6 out of 10 for overall flavor. So, it was middle of the line good. The pesto slice was 6 out of 10 for overall flavor. It was dripping and oozing oil from the end of the fold onto the plate. Which wasn't appetizing. Too oily for my taste. So overall the place gets a solid 5 out of 10. Ambiance is okay it's a typical bronx owned pizzeria. They deliver through UBER and interestingly enough to me, they were playing Italian Music videos on the screen through the YouTube channel. I'm being generous because I was hungry.
