I have been going to this pizza place for year. I really enjoy there pizza and sandwiches. The staff is very friendly. I order to take home because the restaurant is small and gets crowded fast. read more

This is stop number five on arriving back to New York City from being away for about a week. I was craving pizza. In the area and winging it with what's near by. I briefly read the reviews of my fellow Yelpers. Saw the decent reviews. The pie looked decent, not stale. But before that: name looked cheesy-no matter, seating is basic local joint seating. I order based on the pie behind the counter looked gooey. It is! This place serves a good plain slice for $2.30 - gooey, stringy cheese. Crust like a very good local pizza place. The ones I new back when I was a kid where I had an old Italian guy making the pizza. It's really good and the size is not Xtra big or anything but not small, it was large enough for my approval. Sauce is tasty and amount balances out right with the gooey stringy cheese. The pizza is hot, very much so, be warned it's a hot tasty slice. Xtra Cheese Pizza, thanks for giving me a good reminder to be back in New York City with your delicious slice. read more

Pizzas are legit full of cheese, so delish. The penne ala vodka is packed into that aluminum round container. They give you your money's worth. Would definitely order from them again. Only thing is they're old school and only take cash. read more

You know in psychology where you learned about figure-ground perception. The figure-Xtra Cheese Pizzeria. The ground- dominos pizza and pizza hut a block away. The end result- that pizza from Xtra is looking real good. A pizza pie from Xtra would be decent in comparison to shops in Manhattan and Brooklyn. But when you put this pizza in Flushing NY and next to commercial chains, you get that WOW factor. The pizza is 3.5 IMO. The pizza could use more tomato sauce. The prices on yelp, their website and brochures are all different. The one that they have on the board is the most accurate. Check the pictures for price. read more

Saturday March 26th 2022 Dinner From 7PM To 9PM and Order Early Entrees and Soda Fountain at Dine in Allowed

Amazing price (small mushroom & sausage for $16) for a huge delicious portion and friendly service. I had walked by with my sister so many tines but yelp finally led me here to give it a try. It's less oily than lucias and the crust is sweet and crunchy , a real neighborhood gem I can't wait to come back and try the extra cheese slice read more

Xtra Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Flushing, New York

You're not going to get specialty gourmet slices of pizza here. It's an old school, no frills joint. But you will get a pretty damn good slice of pizza. Finding a parking spot is sometimes a bit of a challenge because it's located right on Northern Blvd. in bustling Flushing. Staff is very friendly, and prices are definitely on the affordable side. read more

I tried the Sicilian and a plain slice and this is hands down the best pizza in flushing. In regards to the yelper who claimed they put soda in their pizza and said pizza shouldn't be "sweet or salty" clearly has no taste and should be disregarded and her yelp account revoked. read more

Xtra Cheese Pizza - Sicilian and a plain slice - Pizza Near Me - Flushing, New York

Family friends of mine have been going to this pizza shop run by two affable brothers for decades, and I've been introduced to Xtra [X-tra] Cheese just in the last few years but I'm digging it as much as they do. Shockingly, I've actually never had their pizza, but Xtra Cheese makes a mean chicken parm which is what we typically get. It's a decent size, with lots of sauce and chicken, and the bread has a pleasant crispiness to the crust. I've had the meatball which was good too but the chicken parm is my fave of the two. I definitely plan on sampling some of the other offerings next time I'm in Flushing! read more

Quality slices, quality service, quality food. Also, this spot is real old school and has a nice, homey feel. 10/10

A great family owned business. Pizza is always fresh and affordable. Be sure to order ahead to avoid 20inute wait time. Be sure to get garlic knots for on the go read more

The pizza and garlic knots are absolutely delicious. The workers are also very nice and are very prompt with delivery!

I swear by this place, Joes an amazing guy (I think that's his name ) most of the times he's tossing dough like a cool guy and for the simplistic ease it takes for me to enjoy such things he gave me a show once with my younger brother and his wife. The service is impeccable, th pizza is tasty and piping hot when you get it. The garlic powder is to die for in my opinion and the family homey environment that he provides takes the toppings and throws them in any chain places face. Always fun to go. Never have had bad pizza and I doubt I will from here so thank GOD I am quit close to this place and thank GOD ALSO I have self control or somebodies would be a massive whale unable to move if it weren't so.. lmfao thanks for the great food guys!! read more

Xtra Cheese Pizza - Pizzaaa yum yummm - Pizza Near Me - Flushing, New York

Xtra Cheese Pizza is just simply wonderful. Everything on the menu on point, the service is great and the ambience and atmosphere is just on point. Every single item that we purchased was extremely fresh and flavorful. Staff are really charming and service is really fast. Would love to go back soon! read more

The pizza... Xtra cheese is a place that lives up to their name. The pizza is delicious and so is their pasta. Tip: If you get the baked ziti, make sure you ask them to add ricotta! They'll add small pockets of ricotta cheese into the baked ziti so every time you get a bit of ricotta, it's like a prize! It's a small place on northern and unless you're searching for this place, chances are is that you won't see it or you'll pass by it. The place is very small, however they do take out. My friend had told me to try this place and after I did, I was convinced. A must try! read more

Their Pizza is very good but what I really love is the spaghetti with marinara sauce. They saute the garlic till it disappears and then add their special tomato sauce to the pan and top the spaghetti with it. So good and so garlicky! read more

This place never disappoints. Great vibe, good food and prices are unbeatable for the quality you get. And, Joe and Phil are fantastic at making you feel like you're part of the neighborhood. read more

Mhhhhh get the lasagna. So much cheesy goodness. Baked just right. The parms are also really good. Pizza is thin and has just the right amount of sauce but def get the cooked stuff. read more

Veal sub is great. They really put extra cheese. Sauces are great. I do take out. It's worth a try.

Pizza is a very personal thing. Some people are into deep dish and other like it extra greasy. Some like more tomato sauce and others want more cheese. Whatever the combination is at Extra Cheese though is what I've found to be my favorite. They make it with just enough tomato sauce and cheese without an oily, greasy crust. The crust is crispy but still fluffy on the inside. It doesn't make you feel gross afterwards even after several slices! The people are friendly and the atmosphere makes you think of Cheers, a local neighborhood bar where everybody knows your name, except it's not a bar it's a pizzeria and not everybody knows your name. I still love it there. The place itself is small but it's cozy. read more

Best pizza in flushing and everyone who works here is super nice, I only wish they could take card instead of only cash

Yeah, Lucias is good and all, but this spot really is really a hidden gem. The service, price, and food are amazing. I'm moving in a few weeks and I'm so upset that there won't be a spot like this near my new place. Perfection is the definition of this place honestly. May they continue to operate for years to come and give them your full support. read more

Nothing too crazy .. staff is great, Pizza in consistently inconsistent sometimes its okay sometimes its eh .. not enough flavor in anything .. too much sauce :/ it seems like the pizza is suppose to be good but it doesn't do justice at all times ... All Due Respect .... i wish i could put this in Fine Print .... Go Too Gino's if you want pizza ... pricier but you get what you pay for so no worries .... so Xtra cheese ... i give you guys so many chances :(( read more

This place use to be really good. Dont know what happened but they dont season their pizzas anymore. Their sauce and crust very bland!! Toppings bland!!! Wish they can be great again!!! read more

Yumm, the special here is really good (with all the toppings) Service is also very friendly! I've gotten delivery from here & delivery is fast & prompt. Prices are standard. The only downside is that it is cash only, boooo!!!!!! read more

I've always said if i have to eat one thing every day it would be pizza. Xtra cheese pizza would one of the many pizzerias that i'd be ordering from. It's not the best pizza that i've ever had but it's definitely good pizza. There are some basic components of good pizza. crunchy and chewy crust, sweet and tangy sauce, and creamy and salty cheese. Xtra cheese has all of these components and some old school looking Italians to boot. read more

Love this place. Can't beat the prices. They deliver fast. I've just moved to this neighborhood and I have been trying out all different pizza. They are by far the best. I am so happy they are so close. Even the hot food is very good. There garlic knots are the typical knots but very yummy! read more

I've settled on Extra Cheese as my pizza delivery spot. It's my favorite "standard" pizza joint; the pizza tastes great and it's inexpensive. Not too much cheese, too much sauce or too much grease and oil; they've found a really nice balance in my opinion. A large pie is $15 and a one-topping is $17. I really like their sicilian pie, but their regular pie is good too. Topping-wise, I enjoy their meatball pizza the most. I also like their meatball and chicken parm heros and their mozzarella sticks (which I am pretty sure they make themselves). Big fan of Extra Cheese. read more

More than a Pizzeria!! I had a party catered by Extra Cheese Pizzeria. A friend recommended it & Im so glad she did! Not only did they arrive at the exact agreed time - The food was fabulous & reasonably priced. Everyone loved it ! Especially the sauce - & 2 people had grown up in Italy! I had ordered salad - Baked Ziti - lasagne - eggplant parmigiana - chicken parmigiana. & the trays were huge & packed full. It came with 4 loaves of bread salad dressing plates napkins cups forks Everything you could need for a work party. So much cheese on every tray that people remarked on it. I said it came from Extra Cheese ! I'm sure the pizza is great but you can't overlook the delicious food in this place. Probably the only authentic Italian restaurant left in Flushing!!SO Please don't miss it!! Thanks for making me look so good at the lunch! read more

The review is for garlic knots. Hands down probably the best garlic knots I ever had. Inside outside full of flavor. Every bite has garlic. I had tons of garlic knots through out nyc and everywhere. Non is better. Prove me wrong. Send me to a place that you think is better Pizza is good too. I love their Hawaiian pie. Not many places do it read more

I highly recommend this place - some of my favorites are chicken cutlet hero the works, sausage / meatball slice, shrimp parm over spaghetti. their calzones and Stromboli's are huge and super tasty. walking by I could see how people would keep walking or ignore the place as it's nothing flashy but that would be a mistake. in my opinion probably one of the best slices of pizza I've had in Brooklyn or Queens. the sauce is tangy, the crust is crispy, they're very generous with toppings and not overly oily. note it's cash only read more

Came here two nights in a row. The first night was so good I actually had to come back. I was visiting from out of town and appreciated finding such a friendly group of people not only working there, but the other customers were friendly as well. The pizza was second to none, and I will be back next time I'm in NYC and will make a special trip there no matter what borough I am visiting at the time. It was also very clean. Aaaaaand, they do put XTRA cheese on your slice without asking. Best overall restaurant experience in NYC. read more

Owner is racist. I'm Asian. I sat down on the other side of the table that an old white male in his 80s was sitting on. The old man said something about and the owner said that, "you could sit at the other tables." That statement comes directly from the fact that the old man was white and I was Asian. What year is this? Why would the owner make a suggestion like that? The old white male moved to the other tables clearly not wanting to see an Asian face and said something like, "only the hippies sit on the left side (the side he was sitting on after he moved). He doesn't know what a hippie is." I then told the owner about the situation saying the old man was rude. He went on to defend the old man that he was just joking. I sincerely don't see why anyone would run a business like this. Avoid going. I have stopped going to this place and will never come back. read more

Hands down one of the best pizzerias in all of NYC!!!! The slice here can go head to head with any other! Great food, great ownership, great service what else could you ask for? Plus they make a killer thin crust pie. Thin enough to see the light poking through on the other side of the pie yet holds with absolute no flop. This is the gem of all queens pizzerias. Go get yourself a pie and keep them busy folks. read more

They make a great pizza! They make crispy crust type pizza with a perfect balance of cheese and sauce. They use good quality cheese and tomato sauce. So it doesn't taste like a salty sawdust board with ketchup. It was just so addictive, I couldn't just eat 1 slice. read more

2.95 a slice and a med drink or go big or go home 2 slices and a large drink 4.95 Lets face it everyone likes a good deal but everyone loves a deal that is good and this place has it! The pizza is fresh the crust is crispy and the name says it all its cheesy!! AMAZING SICILIAN!!!! Large slices both regular and sicilian! When I first walked into this place I thought it was a fail. No big flashy pizza counter. But I was wrong the pizza is great. The drinks are from the fountain but they have no ice. I have never had an issue with the drinks not being cold enough and personally I like the no ice because I feel I am getting more for my money. Ice just takes up space if your drink is cold. The staff is really nice and personable always joking around. read more

I came to United States from Korea in 1990 and I used to live in 149Pl for about 10 years before moving further south of Flushing then to Fresh Meadows, but still this is my favorite pizza store, still go there at least once a month. You must try their Xtra Cheese House Special (large pie with everything on it! no anchovies though, not that they carry it, but they had it on their menu). I'm not picky with toppings and neither is my family so the first time we tried their special, we immediately fell in love with it. I'm guessing not a lot of people order their house special because sometimes when I call beforehand to pick it up, they sound surprised. I introduced this place to my church members and told them about the special and they went bonkers. Even to this day, my fiancé who I dated for 8 years still tells me, "I can't believe you didn't tell me about this place earlier." From the outside, this place just might seem like another local pizzeria, but it's not. The lengthy tall dude and the stockier dude that makes these pizzas have been making pizzas here even before I came to the U.S! My favorite are their (of course) Xtra Cheese House Special Large Pie with Everything on it and Meatball Parm on a hero. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Simply the best pizza ever! read more
