Best Lexington Pizza

This place has authentic rotisserie chicken, lomo saltado, anticucho and alfajores. They are pretty quick with delivery too. Recently I ordered a lamb gyro and was pleasantly surprised too!

This place is called Best Lexington Pizza — and they do make great, classic NY style pizza — as good as any local pizzeria — but they are also a Peruvian Chicken rotisserie & Peruvian cuisine place that is just as good as Pio Pio (with the same special green sauce) and just as authentic but with better prices.
The pizza and the Peruvian specialties and Rotisserie chicken are really the stars of this place — BUT they also have a whole menu filled with basics that are as solid as any comparably priced diner or take-​out place. Burgers, Fries, salad, etc.
I live in East Harlem not far from the place — and I sometimes take out as well. It’s a nice family-​run place — nice people. One downside is they are closed on Sundays, but this is because it is a family run place.
Good solid food.

I love both the food and the people that own this place. They always give me a warm welcome when I stop by and are lively conversationalists. Their rotisserie chicken (Pollo a la Brasa) is consistenly tender and juicy and I would especially recommend it with their spicy green sauce. I would also recommend the Salchipapas appetizer. But the best by far is their Peruvian specialty Lomo Saltado — juicy sliced steak over seasoned rice and vegetables. It’s a very small place so not great for eat-​in, but service is very fast so it’s great for take out!

Got half a chicken with rice and greens. This was a huge portion and very tasty, especially with their green sauce. Also got their buffalo wings, which were kind of oily and not really worth it.

This place is very small but they have very big menu.
I love their burgers, they are amazing. Real beef and delicious flavor. Will be back for more.

GREAT PERUVIAN FOOD! You would never guess this place serves great peruvian food because it looks like a hole in the wall pizza joint. They should honestly quit making pizza and american food and just focus on what they are good at! I only ever order the roast chicken (pollo braso) with green spicy sauce, the sauteed steak dish (lomo saltado), and the sauteed brocolli. All very good. But I do want to try their ceviches which I heard was good too. The business is run by a local family and they are always so nice and friendly with customers. Highly recommend!

I order Peruvian food from this place a lot and always wanted to try the Papas a la huanicaina. Finally today I did, and I gotta say I was very disappointed. It looked so good in the picture, but it’s basically boiled potatoes with the yellow sauce on top and half a boiled egg for $ 7! I could kill for some salt and pepper right now, it’s so bland! And they forgot to put the bed of lettuce underneath the potatoes, which would’ve made it look nicer. I’m not sure if this is the authentic way to have this dish in Peru but I think considering the ingredients it shouldn’t be $ 7.00.
I hate giving bad reviews, especially because this place is on point with their chicken! And the owner is as nice person, but I won’t be getting this dish again :(
I wish I could only review this one dish I’d give it 0 stars, but like I said they have amazing other dishes like the chicken and green Peruvian sauce.
So this 1 star is only for the papas a la huanicaina.

Probably best pizza in the hood and best price… but the real gem is the chicken… try the chicken soup when it’s cold and roasted chicken and rice

This place must be under new management based on the reviews because my food was half assed. I ordered a lamb gyro cajun fries and garlic knots. Theres a ten dollar minimum plus an extra delivery charge. The lettuce on the gyro was wilted and black around the edges. The fries were not crispy or spicy but they charge four bucks for then. The white sauce was rancid. They need to revamp their menu and cook only what they know how to cook which is Peruvian food not italian or greek. Oh and the garlic knots were just balls of hard though no oil or garlic. I’ll give them one more chance if they actually serve something worth eating.

this place is ok. got the roasted chicken. it was kind of salty. i think pio² is better but this is a good option if you’re pining for chicken in this area.
service was fast and friendly.

Now THAT’S what I call a hidden gem. The name of this business gives absolutely no clue as to what it does best: Peruvian food! The whole chicken is the best we’re had, juicier and more flavorful than Pio Pio and Flor de Mayo. The delivery person has one of those insulated bags so the food arrived incredibly hot. The Peruvian fried rice was also delicious. My wife thought it was a bit too salty, though. The green sauce that comes with the chicken is a little thicker and spicier than what I’ve had previously. I have no idea if their pizza is good, but really, who cares?

Since the delivery guy was nice and fast, I will give this place 1 star.
I ordered a cheese pizza. In one word: gross. It tasted old like it’d been sitting there all day; there was hardly any sauce and the cheese was hard like government cheese.

I’ve ordered takeout from here several times now. Delivery is consistently fast and somehow each time I order rice, my go to dish, they manage to pack in more than the previous time. Tonight the top was literally bulging.

I can’t speak for the rest of the menu, but if you want a peruvian-​style roasted chicken meal, Pio Pio is your place, not here.
The chicken itself was comparable to Pio, but more bland and skimpier pieces. The green sauce is not even close to how good Pio’s is. Pretty disappointing.
Also, my order took an hour and 20 to arrive.

The full name of this place is «Best Lexington Pizza & Peruvian Food». I did not try the pizza, but the Peruvian food is actually not bad and authentic. I chose the Tallarin Salteado, which I’d never had before. It was similar to Lomo Salteado (which I have had) except it has spaghetti instead of rice. It was very tasty — pieces of steak stir fried with onions and tomatoes. It had a nice strong garlic taste to it. The portion was a little smaller than I would have liked but that is because I am a pig. It was great washed down with an Inca Kola. They have pollo a la brasa too.

I Love this little place! They have great food and inexpensive choices. The Chicken is one of the best of NYC and the other peruvian dishes are amazing! (Lomo Saltado, papa a la huancaina, anticuchos, ceviches, chicha morada).
I understand they started as a pizza place, but the family is peruvian and they decided to add some peruvian dishes in the menu and I’m glad they did.
Their pizza is very good too, but I think the peruvian dishes are taking over of the Pizza.
Come and support this little place in heaven and get to know the owners, they are very nice and friendly people and any time I come here to eat just leave with a big smile in my face. :-)

The food is great, the prices are great, and the people are great.
Their pizza is excellent, but check out their soups and Peruvian dishes as well. They have some very delicious and inexpensive choices.
This is a great small family establishment well worth supporting. The owners are very friendly and happy to accommodate.
Come get something to eat already :)

If you come here for the pizza, you must be one of those complete IGNORANT (despite the name of this place) idiots who think Pasta rules the world (NOPE it DOES NOT).Don’t come here for the Italian dishes, but DO come here for the Chaufas (Peruvian-​style Fried Rice) and the Pollo a la Brasa (Peruvian Roasted Chicken)!!
Prices are CHEAP and the food IS GREAT. Service is friendly and down-​to-​earth. You order from the counter, sit down by the window and wait for your food, and food is brought to you. They have Inca Kola and Chicha Bruja (Purple Corn Drink) as well. Will definitely be a regular here soon along with El Aguila Taqueria which is literally right next to this place! YUM! Credit Cards Accepted!

Best, most tastiest, fresh fried rice this part of town. Really can’t beat this yowwwsas. I’ll def be ordering from here as my local go-​to spot ;)
— egg & chicken peruvian fried rice
— peruvian roasted chicken
— garlic toast
— wings

4 stars for the pizza and chicken rolls. Really good and solid.
5 stars for the Peruvian food so I rounded up… I think they made a mistake calling it Best Lexington Pizza because their Peruvian food is delicious. I usually get a chicken w/​rice or french fries. They have that yummy spicy green sauce you find at other Peruvian places. I like it as much as Pio Pio. And it’s really inexpensive. Half chicken w/​rice is $ 8 total. ¼ chicken w/​rice is like $ 5 or $ 6 I think. They also have a dish called Lomo Saltado which is grilled steak/​beef slices that rocks and could make for 2 meals.
There are lots of other dishes that I still need to try. The place is really small with a few stools by the window. Good for a quick bite of quality food. I usually get takeout though since I live 2 blocks away.
Please try this place. The owners are really nice and I’d like to keep this awesome food option to continue to be available to me. It’s my go to place to refuel after my central park runs and is down the block from the 103^rd Street 6 train. It’s in between El Aguila and the Lexington Social. I love how my options in the hood continue to get better and better :)
