On the two occasions I’ve been here, the dining area was filled to the brim with long queues and tables full of families cheering away with their weeks work with buckets of wine and stacks of fresh baked pizza.
As I budged through the crowds of people waiting for their turn to put my name in line, I notice the antique and traditional feel of the restaurant. The staff are dressed in suits, presumably black for the waiters and white for the assistants/busboys. Paintings of the restaurant decades ago hanged from the walls, and a large open kitchen area showed the chefs finessing raw dough and working with the blazing hot ovens.
After being seated, I was pleasantly surprised with a minimalistic and relatively cheap menu. You could only order from a handful of salads and one pizza option with a variety of toppings. This meant that the restaurant really put its entire focus on doing one thing incredibly well, and it showed up for itself very soon.
The pizza was an absolute joy to look at. It was taken straight from the oven to our table, still steaming all its aromas and oils into the air—so much so that we could smell it on our clothes after leaving. The sauce was chunky and well-scattered, you could see the bits of whole tomato as if they had been just processed hours before. The crust and the dough were beautiful, with a clear tenderness in the inner parts and a nice subtle char at the very end for a final flavor blast. The cheese was minimal, but I think it was intentionally meant to be a complement in highlighting the other superior qualities in the pizza.
My first bite was magical. The dough was so fragrant, crunchy and soft; the sauce was tenderly sweet with an enormously savory body. I was shocked at what I presumed to be the impact of fresh and high quality tomatoes. The cheese did what I expected and rounded out the pizza without overwhelming the dough and the sauce. As I worked towards the end, the pizza got increasingly crisper, and as I got towards the crust, I relished the bits of char and the fragrance of the dough itself.
While the toppings varied in quality, I think sausage is their signature and most outstanding option. My thoughts were reaffirmed by the countless tables around me with sausage on their pizza and the fact that they had sold out of sausage on our second visit. The sausage is clearly, again, homemade where with each bite you can taste the layers and original qualities of the meat. The meat was so wonderfully fresh as you did not have any of that “preserved” sausage taste you may find with other supermarket brands or pizza places. The meat was bouncy, slightly fatty, and well spiced to complement the rest of the pizza’s elements.
As I come back home from the west coast, this is one of the places that I make sure to frequent because it really is, in my opinion, one of a kind—a long standing tradition of pizza making that spans generations of a family invested in making delicious, home-cooked, fresh oven-baked pizza for the local community to munch on while exerting their week’s stresses with loved ones all around them. This coziness was made clear by the familial feel of the restaurant, with waiters chatting up regulars, making friendly conversations with everyone, and even a lively DJ in the corner of the room mixing the music playing in the background and chatting with guests.

I still stand by this but they have the best pizza in town! The best pizza I’ve actually had in my entire life. The hold is amazing. Their sauce is fantastic. Also love when they do their seasonal octopus salad!

I say 4.8. The salads are the winner here. I had the peach salad today. Amazing fresh food. The pie is good too. I think they use good ingredients and it shows. Why 4.8? The blackened area of the crust tasted bitter. I think to some it must be darkened to be crusty… but it tasted bitter. To me that is. It is still an outstanding restaurant, the price, the taste, and the good fast service.

Absolutely worth the waiting!! Loved every bite of it! Loved tomatoes pizza and salad! It’s thin crust so we ordered 3 pies among 5 adults and 2 kids.

Stopped in for one of their famous tomato pies, it was absolutely fantastic and now I know why they’re famous for it. A great crisp and crunchy pie topped with naturally sweet tomato sauce that had chunks of tomato with a bit of mozzarella cheese underneath. It was so refreshing and delicious, not one piece was left over between the two of us. It was the perfect size for us as it was a thin crust. One of, if not the best pizzas I’ve ever had 5+⭐️I will definitely be back again!

Wasn’t as good as I remember. Grabbed a pic as quick as I could before the hungry kids grabbed slices. Cheese didn’t seem to be fully melted. We love thin crust, but it was way thinner than I’ve typically gotten here, like a cracker crust. We saw other pies on tables as we exited and the cheese seemed to be not fully melted on theirs either. New cook? Trying a different style? Not sure. I took newbies here as I raved about the place on the way there. They were underwhelmed.

De Lorenzo has such a friendly and welcoming vibe off the bat with great prices for local classic. Their large tomato pie was fantastic, featuring light and crispy crust rectangular cut so it’s fun to eat. Their tomato sauce is delicious and even better with toppings.

It’s the best thin-crust pizza for miles. Generous toppings and perfectly crispy. Wait times are long, so I’d recommend coming at some other time than peak dinnertime.

My family love the desserts, but personally, they’re not my favorite. No one really comes here for the dessert, though – it’s all about the pizza.

The atmosphere is casual, boisterous, and friendly. Lots of big families with all the grandparents and cousins every time we’re here. If you’re averse to noise, pick the restaurant next door. If you’re fine with noise, the tomato pies here are incredible.

Finally got around to going here and was not disappointed. Got there right at opening and there was a line of people waiting for tables, and rightfully so. The menu is salads and pizza and both are great. The chopped antipasti salad was fantastic. We got plain, garlic, and sausage pies and they were all amazing. Super thin and crispy crust, great toppings ratio, and the tomatoes are out of this world. You should definitely take a trip if you haven’t been.

Absolutely hands down the best tomato pie you can get in the tri-state areas ( nobody can top it )!!! I’ve been eating their pies since I was a kid and they were on Hudson St in Da’Burg. Always the same consistency 40+ years in my opinion and my families too. There are other great tomato pie restaurants but they can’t beat out Delo’s Great atmosphere, friendly service, reasonable price and Excellent pies!! Yes you’re probably going to wait for a table, but as they say. Good things come to all who wait and thats the true here!!! Da Best !!!!
