I’ve only been here once and I’m declaring it my favorite pizza in all of New York State. All i can say is WOW! I had the sfincione, which has onions cooked in sauce for over 12 hours, talk about a flavor bomb. Their classic cheese slice is to die for. The white slice is the best I’ve had in a while, and their meatball is very delightful. Do yourself a favor and get over here!

Fantastic pizza flavors. Definitely a top 3 contender for best pizza in Westchester County. Great consistency in quality and flavors. Reasonable prices for the level of deliciousness. One bite and you taste what you’re paying for! I highly recommend the Detroit-style pizza squares. Cash and credit are both accepted. Metered street parking is nearby. No public bathrooms are available at this location. They do offer indoor seating that can seat 2 people comfortably or 3 people tightly. They usually have slices ready to go in front but rolls, calzones, and other appetizers are made to order. 06/2025

Might be our new favorite spot in Westchester!

We’re a big fan of detroit style so this has been on our list for awhile. They unfortunately don’t deliver, but we decided to stop by at open on a random Saturday. They did open a bit late and the detroit pizza’s weren’t ready until ~25 mins are so after opening (they had some NY and grandma styles ready). Unsure if this is a common thing but might be easier to call ahead at opening.

Each style of pizza was amazing! Our favorite was probably the pepperoni detroit (followed close by the grandma) which we ate so fast there wasn’t enough time for a picture. The NY slice was also solid. Can’t wait to come back to try their other toppings.

Been here almost a dozen times – most times when I’m in the area. My son’s favorite! One of the best and most creative Pizza shops around. This guy does an outstanding job with his creations. The French Dip Pie and the Thanksgiving Pie were specials but absolutely awesome. The traditional slices, especially the Sicilian Slices, rate at the top of the charts. The crust is perfectly cheesed and crisp (something I have never come across anywhere – even in New Haven!).

I really don’t understand the few negative reviews on here. A small shop with talent above what you would find elsewhere and a hard working business owner. This place is a hidden gem.

I know this review sounds like a paid promotion, but it is an honest review from a repeat customer! If you don’t agree, move on and go to Dominoes. You’re not saving anyone by giving a poor review, judging by his 4.9 stars.

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Nestled in my hometown I’ve seen this place change hands many times.

The Detroit style pies caught my attention as it’s been quite some time since I’ve had a real good one.

Decided to grab a pie with the family tonight and am absolutely blown away! The pizza was cooked to perfection with all of the cheesy, crunchy goodness that you would expect from a Detroit style.

The sauce can make or break a pie like this and thankfully it had great flavor and everybody enjoyed it.

Will definitely be back, should have tried them sooner!

Thanks again 🙂

By far the best gluten free pizza I have ever had on my 12+ year gluten free journey. You can tell the owner takes pride in his food.

Update: we went back again and it was another amazing experience. John even made fresh donuts for my niece. Needless to say it is her favorite pizza shop!

Promises were made and they delivered! Start to finish, service-awesome; pizza-amazing!! It’s a hard world being vegetarian at times and there was still 3 options I could try right outta the gate. Even this Detroit yummy!! Thanks Pizza Fenice

I randomly stumbled onto this place with my wife on a Friday night. We came into the store about 25 minutes before close and they had about 10 slices left. We ended up buying 4 slices and the owner graciously threw an extra in for free. We got several grandma slices and they were incredible!! Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life. Cannot wait to return and order a whole pie next time. Worth the trip!!

I have Celiac. I tried Fenice GF pizza dough tonight, I finished up 2 hours ago. So far I am good; if you havee gluten issues, then you know how that goes. Now for the review on quality. I cannot praise John, the owner enough for his talent, caring and professionalism. He is not Celiac, put told me how he became interested in making his own gf pizza dough. He is a warm and compassionate person to take this on. The crust was more Sicilian like and both airy and crisp. I will be returning; even though it is an hour round trip from my home. It was a bit pricey but well worth it and just about eliminating one of my bucket list request; because I can now have it anytime. John was honest and said if you have a severe battle with gluten he may not be your man. He said do not come on busy nights like Fri and Saturday were there is a possible chance of some cross contamination; call ahead to let him know your concerns. It was worth the ride and blew away those pre made thin crusts that 99% of the shops offer. Bravo to John from Fenice in Pelham!

One of my personal top 3 pizza restaurants I have ever been to. I have never had Detroit style pizza and it turns out, I’m a huge fan. I can’t even begin to describe to you how fresh everything is. The cheese was so rich and the basil brought out so many savor flavors. That basil tasted like it was picked from a garden an hour ago. My wife and I had a few items off the menu and each slice had just the perfect balance of softness, crunch and savory flavors. The pepperoni rolls are also out of this world. I could eat here every day of the week. Chef John takes enormous pride in what he makes and it truly shows.
