- Lauren NicoleJune 21, 2015Highly recommended! Blackberry Mojito was refreshing and tasty. Broccoli rabe and sausage pizza was DELISH! Staff were hilariously friendly and genuine. Going back for sure!!
- Pistachio e Salsiccia - fresh pistachio pesto w/ sausage. Signature fried pizza dough called Montanara Starita. Try w/ spicy oil! #nom #NYC
- Christian ChewSeptember 27, 2014Ask them to make a recommendation! They know what's popular, especially if you don't know where to look on their big menu. REALLY enjoyed the pizza that's fried before it's baked. Everything is FAST!!Upvoted Mar 27
- A block or two from Time Square and another block or two from Hells Kitchen this is a solid choice if you want a NYC pizza experience. The smart order is the Montanara Pizza with the smoked mozzarella
- Fabio T.September 13, 2022one of the best spots in NYC to eat a classic style. Cooked to perfection, with toasted corners, so yummy. Get the truffle burrata one, you won’t be disappointed. 🍕
- Vito GialloMarch 22, 2013Great pizza in authentic Neapolitan style. The crust is as it's supposed to be. Had the margherita with provola and felt like I was back home. Definitely a top NY spot for good pizza!
- Adam KubanApril 26, 2013Get the Montanara pizza, which has a deep-fried crust. This is one of the only places in the city (let alone the U.S.) that serves it. Fear the fried? Get the Pistacchio e Salsiccia pizza.
- Umair ZiaJanuary 12, 2019Go with the keste. Or any other. They are all good. Have it with an Italian beer. Perfect.
- PaddyApril 16, 2016Saw the place on Guy Fieris show and figured we'd try it. Very very well made Neapolitan pizza with well thought out menu creations. We had a Diavola and Padrino, washed down with $10 Montepulciano.
- BashayerMarch 11, 2015The cheese on the pizza was out of this world. Order a pizza fritte (fried pizza)&pizza (visuvio) the dough has ricotta inside !!!! Heaven. Heaven. Service is amazing. & Kelsey grammar was nxt to us!
- Amber NagleMarch 31, 2015Quick, great service. The burrata and margherita pizza are perfect to share for a quick bite with a half litre of cab sav. Ask for the red pepper flake olive oil only if you like it HOT
- Kiley JApril 9, 2019Nice Neopolitan style Pizza! The gluten-free pizza is amazing and definitely worth a try. Staff can be rude at times and the restaurant a little pricy but will return just for the pizza!
- AlharithSeptember 27, 2019The regina margarita was good, overall the place is nice but not great defiantly better choices around.
- Wojciech ZiniewiczSeptember 28, 2015Prosecco for starter + pizza di pomodoro + sangiovese as main dish and viognier for a desert. It's just the best place if you love pizza and Italian wine.
- Brian ParkJanuary 3, 2016The Finocchiona Pizze Speciale was too good to be true. Hands down best pizza in NYC and very reminiscent of pizza from Napoli. Also their homemade burrata is a must-try!
- Some of the most epic pizza of all time. The fried montanara is their signature pizza but my personal favorite is the pistachio pesto with sausage. They also do an epic burrata with Proscuitto -J
- Siddharth AryaMay 29, 2017Pizza was great. Beer was great. I don't understand the practise of being given the check without asking for it. Either it's self service, where you pay upfront, or you ask for the check. What's this?
- Kristy RileyAugust 27, 2023Legit everything (I used to live next door). My favorite drink is the Los Tres Hermanos, pictured along with the Kesté pizza. Devine.
- KaylaJuly 2, 2017The Bianca with Arugula is extremely delicious, as are the potato croquet and fraticelli appetisers! Definitely a place to go!
- AmateurConciergeAugust 9, 2019Decent Neapolitan pizza but nothing particularly special. Still an above average option when in Times Square but no need to go out of ur way. Fried pizza is fine.
- juan carlos martinez leonOctober 6, 2013The homemade burrata is outstanding! After that order the Montanara starita!!! Amazing!
- Ed SngFebruary 28, 2017Delicious margherita prosciutto pizza! The crust was light, airy, and chewy at same time. Great with Issac Belgium beer.
- I love coming here! Friendly for whoever I'm with: date, friends, family. Great location makes it easy to pair with other activities around town. Also, get the LEMON pizza!!
- Michael CApril 9, 2017Definitely get the rice balls and spaghetti balls as starters. Get a few. They are delicious!
- Bana AFebruary 16, 2015Delicious pizza though I don't think it's the best.. I liked the oven and the service was nice, the pistachios pizza was a good choice thou 😍
- Shane SnowMay 5, 2012I've eaten at over 60 NYC pizza joints, and this one ranks in the top 5, alongside Keste, Grimaldis, John's, and Lucali. Lasagna Pizza is excellent. Practically everything is amazing here though.
- Staff PicksAugust 25, 2014Ever had fried pizza? Try this Naples specialty called montanara. The dough is flash-fried before it's cooked in the oven. Then covered with tomato sauce, basil, & smoky buffalo mozzarella. Read more
- Avgi KariotiApril 9, 2016awesome home made burrata!!! and authentic italian pizza, make sure u have a reservation or u will have to wait, its really crowded in certain hours
- NicoleDecember 28, 2015Huge portion of burrata with prosciutto. I've had the fried margherita pizza twice, but it's not my favorite. Odd taste to the dough for a classic Neopolitan pizza lover. Good place for a group.
- Svetlana KadomskayaMay 18, 2021Great pizza with mozzarella & prochutto! Be careful wine is almost as price for pizza , but delicious.
- Rachel KApril 26, 2018All the vegetarian and vegan options are labeled on their menu. I liked the ricotta rossa pizza.
- Sebastian CastroDecember 30, 2017One of the best (if not the best) places to eat pizza in NYC. The fried pizza is delicious. Try the truffle flavor, you won’t regret.
- Xiomara SuzetteJune 14, 2014Best pizza ever! La mejor pizza del mundo! Staff knows English, Italian & Spanish. The arugula & tomato salad with fried pizza dough is out of this world!
- 🌴om ZJanuary 18, 2015Fantastic pizza, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Eat at the bar and be in-and-out in 20 minutes...perfect place prior to a show.
- Tracey ChurrayNovember 30, 2014Burrata is is HUGE and well worth it. Very good pizza and generous pours on the wine.
- Andy RDecember 18, 2016The best pizza I've had in US. Wood oven, tasty and great quality. The space is small but worth the menu. I will come back again.
- Paolo BaroneJanuary 14, 2016Good pizza but I had better in NYC. The fried pizzas on the other hand are awesome and worth trying indeed
- First We FeastAugust 3, 2014Word to the wise: The other Neapolitan pies here are excellent as well, but the montanara is the one to beat. Read more
- Chris PolloneOctober 1, 2015Can't go wrong with the Kesté pizza. Prosciutto is wonderful. The crust is a bit fluffier than other Neapolitan places I've been.
- Katie DiehlFebruary 19, 2015Never had fried pizza before, but definitely will be coming back for more. While it looks like a regular pizza, fried dough adds such a unique flavor.
- Jarel HillAugust 24, 2017Montanara starita fried pizza was super good! Had the pistachio pesto sausage one again as well which is still one of my favs!
- LauraJuly 25, 2014Sit at the bar, no waiting! Super fast service, was in and out in about 20 minutes on a busy Friday evening. Delicious pizza. Yummy crust.
- Tish NobleApril 22, 2016Attentive service, delicious vegetarian pizza and don't miss the dessert...warm fried pizza dough drizzled with nutella. YUM!!
- Juan GomezDecember 28, 2014Really fresh and delicious ingredients on top of a truly exceptional crust. One of the best pizzas I've had anywhere in the U.S.
- BethFebruary 7, 2013Great cocktails from the ladies up front, not to mention a selection of niche style/uniquely paired pizzas. Great spot to meet friends any night of the week.
- Raymond KristiansenJuly 23, 2017Outstanding place. Amazing professional staff, but a very cozy setting. High quality food, and you can watch it being made. Highly recommended.
- dawn.in.newyorkApril 5, 2015Montanara Starit is the best. The fried pizza dough is awesomely soft and chewy texture like a doughnut. Non fried dough pizzas are all good as well.
