Scottocasa Pizzeria in Harlem is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you can taste the love and craftsmanship in every handmade pizza. The crust is perfection—light, crisp, and full of flavor—topped with the freshest ingredients and incredible balance. Every bite is unforgettable. The staff is just as amazing as the food: welcoming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It’s not just pizza, it’s an experience. If you’re in Harlem and love authentic, handcrafted pizza with outstanding service, Scottocasa is a must-visit.

THIS PIZZA!!! Seriously. The whole pie. I ate the whole thing. The crust is super thin and the char from the oven is chef’s kiss. I had the margherita pizza and OMG!!! We had the burratta salad and yes to all of the fresh mozzarella. If you are in Harlem, you have to go here. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing vibe. This place was hopping, but not too loud, when most of Manhattan was too cold to leave the house.
Amazing salads and pizza with gluten free options. The calzone was yummy too!
Fantastic selection of beer and wine.
Friendly, attentive, and on point staff.

It’s good, but not sure if it’s worth the hype. I think it would be great if their tomato sauce had more robust flavor

Great Italian food. It was my first time trying authentic Italian food and it was better than I thought. The good focuses on the natural flavor of ingredients, so you will taste what you see. In overall, it seems like not much of seasoning was used, which I liked. Not greasy, fresh and light flavor, so even I could finish one pizza by myself. You will not get tired of pizza. The dough was also really good. Chewy but not hard.
If you are used to New York pizza style or salty food with lot of seasonings, this pizza could be bland to you, but I actually liked this kinds of style.
I got Verdure with Soppierssata added. I really enjoyed it and recommend it!

I am very picky about pizza, especially vegetarian pizza, and this place really impressed me. The quality was excellent. I ordered the eggplant pizza and it was outstanding, with perfectly cooked eggplant and great flavor overall. Even the salad stood out. It had fresh baby spinach and a generous mix of dried fruits that added a nice contrast and depth of taste.
I truly enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely recommend the eggplant pizza.

Delicious, fresh, authentic, friendly and not too expensive. This spot in Harlem is a gem. SO much better than any other pizza in this area. This is true Neapolitan style pizza. *chef’s kiss*

I’ve lived in Harlem for a few years now and I am so mad I didn’t try this place before. It was SO good. All the pizzas we tried were absolutely delicious and fresh. The service was quick (even when the place was packed) and we were surprised at how fast our pizzas came out. The Capricciosa and Aglio/olio were my favorite. We also shared a salad that was really good. Now that I know about this gem I will come back. The servers were really nice and the prices unbeatable.

And time and again, this is a wonderful place to grab a delicious bite. So far, none of the choices have gone wrong, and one leaves with a great deal of satisfaction.
PREVIOUS REVIEW:
Small and simple restaurant with wonderful Italian pizzas, thin-crust, very delicious. But before even starting that, consider the sangria (particularly if the weather is hot outside), and consider finishing the feast with some dessert, eg the panna cotta or the coconut icecream or the lemon icecream with prosecco. Delicous.

The best pizza place in New York City.
I recommend any of the pizzas. Don’t change any of them. What you’ll get is a Neapolitan pizza where the dough is light and chewy. There is enough sauce to get the full tomato and herb taste without overpowering. I suspect they are reducing and rehydrating to create the deeper tomato sweetness. The toppings are all very fresh and the right amount for each pizza. At this point I’ve had half of their pizzas and a calzone. All were excellent.
Also make sure you peruse the beer menu. The price is justified; basically you’re getting craft Italian beer.
