Astoria Pizza

I come here very late with my girlfriend and they are open until about 4 or 5 am! Pizza is good and the people working here are very nice! It’s a family establishment and they are very accommodating. Will continue to eat here late nights as long as they are in business!

Average pizza. The salads are fresh and crisp, and their Italian dressing is pretty solid. The people are nice, too.
The linguini with white clam sauce is completely flavorless though. I know it’s from a can, which is fine (expected for $ 9), but they don’t add any spices, and the sauce has no flavor of its own, so the finished dish comes out completely flavorless.

Actually 3.5 stars. Delivery is very quick. Meatballs are good. Lasagna is good. I’ve never had a bad experience here. Solid neighborhood pizza joint.

I ordered a large pie at 8:41, half pepperoni and half plain. A whole hour passed and I called back and they said yeah yeah he’s nearby. This place is 4 blocks away from my house. And again I waited an extra 10 minutes until I got my pizza !

TLDR: $ 2.50 plain slice. Pizza sucks, but this place is pretty much the only option when you need a slice at 3AM. Cracker-​like crust, zero sauce, and minimal cheese makes up for a disappointing pizza.
Came here at 7:30pm with the boyfriend for a quick pre-​dinner snack. Ordered 2 plain slices with a can of soda for $ 6.
I judge pizza on 3 criterion:
— crust
— sauce
— cheese
Crust was too thin for my tastes. I like me a little crunch, but this was pretty much a giant cracker. Crust is pretty subjective though – the boyfriend really liked the thinness.
Sauce. Here’s what killed me. No fucking sauce. Where’s my tomato, man? I peeled back my cheese and voila! No sauce! If you want a giant cracker with cheese for $ 2.50, this is your place! I’m so salty writing this review. I love saucy pizza. It should be moist and flavorful with tomato sauce. Crap in a hat, man.
Cheese. You love that ooey, gooey melted cheese that just pulls away from the pizza in warm strings as you take a bite? :) Not today! The cheese at this place is cemented onto the crust! :) Bite after unsatisfying bite! :)
Bottom line, I won’t be coming here unless I get the munchies in the dead middle of the night. $ 2.50 for a slice is cheap nowadays, but I’ve had MUCH better elsewhere. Why you gotta do pizza dirty like this? :(

I love this place. Classic pizza –perfect crust and the ingredients taste fresh. They deliver across Astoria and it always arrives piping hot. High five, guys! Thanks for the pizza!

I stoped by today for lunch menu: 2 slices of cheese pizza plus one can soda for 5 $. That’s one great deal. Pizza is pretty decent, much better than most famous pizzas in neighborhood. I will definitely go there again and taste other things from menu.

Solid choice for late night delivery, which is how we discovered this place. There are so many different kinds of pizza; this is straight up standard, which is sometimes exactly what my pizza-​snob self wants. Yes, wood fired is great, but at 1am, I want the basics. I’ve been on a quest for Astoria’s best pizza and so far this is the best in the «drunk pizza» category. Have only gotten delivery, btw.

Life is too short, and there are too many Pizza places in Astoria to argue with the owner over how
works. This is the second time I have had an issue with the guy, and while I do give second chances, I have never played baseball.
Moving on.
Shame too… pizza is pretty good.

Order came within a decent amount of time. Packaging was fine.
The stromboli, while flavorful, was about the size of iPhone 6 plus. It was obviously a section cut out of a much larger, full stromboli. While I’m not expecting a full pie-​sized boli for $ 6.50, half that price would get you a damned fine pepperoni or sausage & pepper roll, but for the same size. Definitely felt undercut on that one. Doubly so since the mushrooms really tasted canned.
The Pasta Bolognese, however, was a generous portion of pasta for the sticker price. Not really a fettuccini bolognese. More pasta with really tasty and creamy vodka sauce with some meat tossed in there. Meager amount of meat, though, to call it a bolognese.
Might try again… though unlikely… though think they’re a fine option, depending on who else is delivering.

Excellent pizza at 3am ! If your in the mood for a quick hot slice of pizza this is the best choice in the area. Great service and the pizza was surprisingly good.

Pizza is great and pasta is amazing!!! Try for yourself! I love the sauce and the women is very nice, I think she owns the place. But surely a great place to eat some New York pizza.

Acceptable for late night, but orders are always late, don’t seem to actually out your order in until you arrive for pickup. Two stars just for the fact that it is one of the only late night pizza options in the area

Regular NY pizza. Nothing really to rave about. They stay open really late, so when you come home from bars and need a snack Astoria Pizza is usually/​always open.
They have recently torn down a wall and have seemed to merge with the convenience store next door.

Mediocre pizza. I got a chicken slice.
The guys behind the counter didn’t seem too clean. The guy who got my slice just picked it up with his hands and walked it to the oven to re-​heat. I also saw him handling cash and touching all the knobs and till behind the counter without a second thought to put on gloves or anything.
In any case I was starving so I still ate the pizza. It was very tasteless though. I had to add garlic, extra parmesan and some hot sauce to even give the boring slice a kick.
There was about 6 slices of chicken on the chicken slice, and as mentioned it was generally tasteless; then the dough was still soggy and squishy even though it had been through the oven– twice.
Wouldn’t try again.

The pizza I had here wasn’t great. It was acceptable. They have a great location and should really have the food to match.
Service is fine, they have a beat up flat screen and the place needs a paint job.

I must visit Astoria pizza about 4 – 6 times a month. Every time I have visited, the service has been quick and the pizza hot/​flavorful. The overall appearance from the outside and in, isn’t anything impressive… heck it’s a bit depressing haha. Also, although the service is quick, I will agree with some other Unilocalers that the employees aren’t up for any awards for personality/​friendliness either! What matters to me in the end though, is their cheese and their pepperoni slices. After trying all of the other pizzerias from 28^th street to 45^th street on 30^th avenue, Astoria Pizza (aka Halal Pizza) is by far the landslide winner!
This very unassuming and small hole in the wall of a place dishes out some quality pizza. The sauce is flavorful and not overly sweet and/​or runny, there’s just the right amount of cheese, and the crust is moderately thin and has a bit of a crunch. Also, let me clarify, I’ve had Astoria Pizza late at night while drunk off my ass, AND dead sober during the week, and I still thought it was the best!
Finally, does it pass the «fold test» ultimately… meaning, does it fold well and not become a runny and disgusting mess that drips all over your plate/hands??Absolutely passes with flying colors! The entire pizza stays intact from the first to the last bite. Now ask yourself this: when have you had a great slice of pizza that doesn’t pass at least the «fold test»??
«Fuget-​About-​It»!!
So overall, I’m not saying it’s the best pizza in NYC, but it’s definitely the best pizza in this area in my opinion. I absolutely recommend this place to all of my fellow Unilocalers!

Firstly, get the white pizza. With toppings or no toppings, it’s the BEST.
This place has pretty cheap ($ 2.50/slice for cheese, about $ 3 – 3.50 for ones with toppings) pizza, and it’s REALLY good. The crust is fluffy, but never gets soggy on the bottom, which is amazing. The workers are extremely friendly and will heat up your pizza and also will kick out loiterers in order to make room for you to sit if you have just ordered your pizza.
Love it.

So Tuesday was my boyfriend and his friend’s weekly film podcast (at his friend’s house/​converted makeshift studio), it was their 2^nd annual Halloween episode and thus it was being billed as their «nerd party».
I don’t join in their nerdy weekly shenanigans every week, but if there’s a cool special guest or something special… Halloween is special and everyone was bringing something and upon hopping off the N train I saw Astoria Pizzeria, shrugged my shoulders and went inside.
The menu is your standard pizzeria fare. Pizza with tons of topping choices (nothing out of this world, just the usual guests like sausage, pineapple, spinach, pepperoni, etc), pastas with different sauces, cheesy garlic knots, chicken wings, Jamaican style beef patties, etc.
I think the place is family owned since the woman that took my order was working with someone that really looked like his son (also making this assumption from how they related to one another).
Decided to get a medium pizza cheese pie, it was made to order and took roughly about 10 – 15 minutes to make. For $ 10 bucks I thought it was a pretty good deal. Came out pretty delicious although MUCH greasier than I generally prefer and since it was so greasy the sauce kind of just absorbed the cheese… I like when the cheese it melted and white on top, not see through orange-y…just my preference, lol.
Still, it was a decent pie and I would come back again if I needed to get a pie in the neighborhood. I would, however, probably look elsewhere if I was just looking for a slice to gnaw on.

Service is extremely important and I think the owners and staff at this pizzeria don’t know this. Making fun of your customers and being condescending will not win you business.
Me and my boyfriend came in around 1am after a night celebrating our friend’s birthday. The lady was extremely rude and tried to make me pay for a large pizza with topping ($ 15) when I ordered a medium plain pizza ($ 10). Just because we are getting pizza after a night out does not mean that I will pay you over ½ the price for a plain pizza.
After the matter, they took 40 minutes to heat up our pizza…
Given the slow and rude service and the mediocre tasting pizza, never coming here again.
