Twas the night before the NYC Marathon and we needed a place to load up on our carbs to be race day ready. Joe & Pat’s had the perfect pastas to achieve this goal and I’m feeling more ready than ever!
I got the Penne Vodka with the breaded chicken and it was delightful. The vodka sauce was not overwhelming, I thought it was quite nice and the chicken was good too. Although I do like that they cut the chicken up and mixed it into the pasta, that does make the breading lose its crispiness which I wish was still there. Very good pasta nonetheless!
The bread on the side was super soft too with a very very smooth olive oil.

This is the best pizza I’ve ever had—period. I said it!! I had to go twice this week just to be sure of what I’m saying!
And let me officially let the cat out of the bag—I only order the Cauliflower Crust!! If you’ve read any of my other reviews then you know I’m the last guy who would ever even try that kind of crust—I’m a purist!! (I thought) I also ordered the traditional with the regular thin crispy crust because ihad to compare—and there is no contest—the cauliflower crust is the only way to go!! It’s crispy, tasty—and you’d never know!
I’m on a flight back home to LA wondering when I’ll get it again! And make no mistake, it ‘aint just the crust, the cheese, the ‘adult-style’ Italian-spiced red sauce, the perfectly cooked veggie toppings—it all makes this place an exciting hour of sit down pizza!
The obligatory pizza-house salad with iceberg lettuce, marinated red-peppers, cucumber, Black olives and traditional red-wine vinegar dressing is a 10!
I also had sausage and green peppers which was exceptionally good. I look forward to going back and trying the pasta!
The place is perfectly vintage with a great old-school vibe, comfortable wooden tables and chairs, a large rounded bar with plenty of stools and a friendly helpful staff. This is solid and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Clearly my favorite new NYC restaurant!

The pizza is delicious, especially the Original and the Margherita. The Original with a side of vodka sauce and pesto sauce is incredible. The chicken franchise is also amazing.
Every time I’m in NYC, this place is a must-stop.

Absolutely outstanding. Of the five pizza places we went to, this was hands down the best. The crust is as thin as it gets while still maintaing its crisp and flavorful integrity. The vodka sauce was delightfully subdued and creamy while the original red sauce was bright and punchy. Just the right amount of cheese. A+ five stars two thumbs up.

We were very hungry and went here on a Saturday night a little after peak hour. A lot of tables opened at 9pm. The decor is nice. The music is extremely loud. The air conditioning is pretty even but it’s hotter towards the kitchen. We got the pizza royal. It’s supposed to have pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, mushrooms, and peppers but I think the meatballs were left out. We saw steel wool plugging in the bathrooms.

Crispy. Great sauce. Perfect amount of cheese. Very thin. Maybe a little too thin. I ordered it well done. It’s $33 and it was ready for take out in 15 minutes. Delicious, but pricey.

Why only four stars? The old Lanzas’ Neapolitan tile and windows are cool. The food would do them, proud. Wait staff was great The cheap cold Baccala Behind the bar does not belong in the hospitality business.

Ordered a takeout veggie pizza last week. All three of us spit out our first bites due to an overwhelming taste of dish washing soap that covered the toppings. We drove over half an hour to return the pie for a replacement. We received neither an apology nor any compensation for our time and their poor health standards in the kitchen. They actual had the audacity to claim the veggies were find. So much for customer being right (or deserving of edible food). There are a lot better choices on the island… drive past this one!

Nice vibe and good solid thin crust pizza that’s nice and crispy. We got a tri-pie and thought I wish there was a bit more cheese in the mix, the flavor combination of the pesto and vodka sauce was excellent. I’d come back to try some of their pies
