Chris’s New York Pizzeria

If you are looking for great pizza, this is the place to go. There is a huge variety of freshly made stuffed pizzas and a huge menu
of thin crust pizzas, sandwiches, salads and pasta.
Mario and Maria are the owners and they treat you like family. During the holidays, Maria takes orders for specialty Italian desserts that are to die for. Delicious!!!
This is a family friendly place that you will keep coming back to again and again. Not to be missed and is much better than mass produced chain restaurant pizza.

«Chris» from the name of the restaurant sold the business to Maria and Mario. They are great owners. Food made with love and friendly service. I come here all the time on my lunch hour. Best pizza around and you can tell everything is made from scratch with fresh ingrediants. Mario is quick to give a suggestion off the menu and Maria often has a homemade pasta or soup dish on special.
New owners as of about a year ago, so I wouldn’t take reviews older than that very seriously concerning food or service.

Mario & Maria operate a spectacular restaurant. Their stuffed pizzas are the iconic item that draws our family back time after time! Lots of selections of delicious foods that will leave you feeling full! It’s a great atmosphere, with a TV and beautiful New York Skyline covered wall. Stop in and have a bite or two!

Love this place, out of all the pizza shops in the area this one is hands down the best. All their food is fresh and tastes delicious, the new owners are so friendly, every time we go in no matter how busy they are they always take a second to say hello.
Their pizza melts in your mouth, their cheesesteak are so yummy, their fries are awesone and their stuffed pizza is so filling and tasty.
I always recommend this place to all my friends and family, I also tell strangers when they are looking for a place to go.
I wish they were open 7 days a week and deliversled, I would be in so much trouble if that was the case.

The pizza and boli’s here are absolutely amazing! One of the best pizzerias in Ephrata and the new owner here is great! Prices are very reasonable.

Got garlic knots and a chicken parmesan sub.
GK were seriously phenomenal, like holy wow those were some of the best knots I’ve ever had, the sub was hot, cheese was melty and the chicken wasn’t the least bit dry thankfully, fairly saucy too! Small, but very friendly staff, love this place.

This pizzeria is amazing! The best around! The owners and workers are so beyond friendly! Absolutely so kind and welcoming! I love the chicken parm, definitely recommend it!

best hot wings and Philly cheesesteaks around!!! they are very kind and sweet and I love it there!

Growing up in Ephrata and moving to New York City, Chris’s New York Pizza is one of the reasons I still come home, ehh besides family. Chris’s Pizza is a small joint behind McDonalds in the cloister shopping center. It’s a family run business and everyone working is really friendly.
The buffalo chicken stuffed pizza is what keeps me coming back. It’s amazing. For around $ 4.50, you get a huge slice of pizza (more like a pie) stuffed to the brim with chicken and buffalo sauce and topped with blue cheese dressing. The pizza isn’t too spicy but packs a lot of flavor. One slice usually fills me up. They also have about 6 – 10 other types of stuffed pizza available by the slice and more options for full pies. Everything else i’ve tried has been delicious as well — haven’t gone wrong yet.
Tip — Last time I was in (Nov 2014), Chris’s Pizza was cash only during the weekend.

I stopped in Ephrata for a business trip, and Unilocal in this area is under used! I’ve taken some photos of the food I got here, which was excellent. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak calzone and an Italian salad, because my order needed to be $ 15 to get delivery to the Hampton Inn. Extra star bc I called in an order at 8:20pm, when they close at 8:30, and they were pretty nice about it. They forgot a fork with my salad so I ate the good stuff off the top – frankly, half the calzone was enough food for me!
Calzone was loaded with ricotta and mozzarella cheese with a delicious herb and butter melted on top. They included a large canister of savory, chunky, sweet tomato sauce. Their blue cheese dressing has large chunks of blue cheese in it.
I’m back in Ephrata next week and I just might order from Chris’s again.

Pretty good stuff! Just moved my girlfriend into the area. We needed dinner so I drove around and stopped here. Great choice! Pizza was great! Prices were not bad!

My personal favorite place to get pizza in Ephrata. The stuffed pizza is fantastic many varieties available. Many different subs and sandwiches to choose from. The portion sizes are very generous and the prices are very low. my wife and I can come here with our 2 kids and eat for right around 20 bucks and leave full and satisfied.
The wings could be a little bit bigger but there still a hell of a lot better than the wings from wild wings and the deck which are both up the road maybe a half mile.
Chris has been there for about 10 years now and he makes everyone feel welcome. I’ve seen people come in there for their first time and he literally walks people through the menu so they can find exactly what their hungry for. I’ve already gone in and had no clue what I wanted and he just went back and made me a hell of a buffalo chicken cheese steak tweaked compared to the one on the menu. (I’m sure the fact I’m a regular helped but I’m sure he would accommodate any one that wanted things changed up a bit)
Great food with great service at low prices you can’t go wrong

One of our favorite pizza places… definitely worth the prices, which are a little higher than your average pizza joint. You are paying for FLAVOR! My favorite is the stuffed spaghetti & meatballs slice; my husband loves the cheesesteak stuffed slice. The only reason this isn’t five stars is because their service is slow (but friendly!)

excellent specialty slices and real philly style cheesesteaks (which are tough to find in this area)

this is NOT ny style pizza. way too thick of a crust. how about a plain pie on thin crust with cheese?
you’re in ephrata, what’d you expect…

Chris’s is the best place for a stuffed slice in Ephrata, and god knows Ephrata has quite a few places to go for pizza. For $ 4, you’ll leave full after, say, a hot wing chicken stuffed slice – you can’t get a meal from a lot of places for $ 4. The selection is also fantastic, with usually about 7 or 8 varieties of stuffed pies available for a quick slice.
The staff is wonderful; always friendly, always amusing. Occasionally they’ll whip up some kind of appetizer or dessert (nothing fancy) and just drop it on the table for you, no charge. Don’t count on it, but it’s just a nice gesture of appreciation. The fact that most times when I go in there I see familiar customers suggests that this place never seems to lose business; it has its regulars, and for good reason.
Take the Cannoli. Seriously, they’re great here.

This place is a lifesaver when I’m visiting PA. It’s not *exactly* NY pizza, but it’s a heck of a lot closer than any of the other sauce-​and-​cheese-​covered mush in the area. Plus, they cater to my niblings’ picky taste («Nothing green in the sauce!») without complaint.

wow, this was really good!

FOOD: I ordered an italian sub and a special cheese steak. The italian is for lunch today, but we each had a half of the cheese steak. The guy at the counter recommended it saying itll fill you up. He wasn’t wrong. It was really good and just a half was filling!
DECOR: Its a pizza shop. its pretty standard stuff. They have quite a number of tables both inside AND out and its really clean.
SERVICE: Very friendly. I found the staff to be helpful and friendly. They also were joking around with each other. Thats something you dont often see in a pizza place. They were all adults and i suspect they were the owners.

WOULD I GO BACK? Sure would, but I dont live close by anymore. If I get the chance I will tho. They had some crazy pizzas on display that need to be tried. Buffalo chicken cheese steak in Chicago style?! Oh yeah, that’s gotta be tried.
