10. Saraghina

Iâve been going to Saraghina for a few years now, the restaurant itself with itâs fantastic patio and (while overpriced) pretty solid menu options. The pizzas are delicious and the fried chicken sandwich was absolutely phenomenal. But this restaurant has the most consistent bad service Iâve ever seen. Iâm not sure if this is an issue with understaffing or not properly training staff, but I have always had issues with simple things like having my card out on the table for over 20 minutes before I had to bring my card up to the bar to pay my bill. My most recent trip took the cake. I went in with three friends for brunch and we sat at the bar. It was very busy at the time so I was forgiving that it took 15/20 minutes for the bartender to even acknowledge us sitting directly in front of her, but when another employee had to check in with us for a drink order because he could tell we were being outright ignored I started to lose a little faith. Eventually she took our food orders (which came out before we got our drinks, two beers and two three ingredient cocktails) and just genuinely seemed disinterested in giving any attention to her 6 customers at the bar.I keep coming for the ambiance and food, but each time Iâm reminded that the entire experience suffers from the service. Itâs a shame.

You donât actually make tour own pizza, you just pick your toppings....like EVERY OTHER pizzeria.Here, you order at the counter, decide on one of five crusts, one of five sauces and any of several toppings. Dough is pre-made, set in a machine that flattens it. Staff adds you choice of toppings and puts it in an oven.Crust is very thin and wasnât cooked well in our visit. Veggies and toppings were good but were too heavy for their thin crust so pizza sagged and toppings all fell off. One of us chose garden pizza was was just ok but missing advertised toppings (zucchini and artichokes) which we paid for.Water, juices and soda available in bottles. No beer or wine. Staff was pleasant but uninspired. Only a few small tables to eat at.Nice concept but not worth the visit.

Queens has some great pizza places ; Sofias is Not one of them . Pizza crust is like a doughy sponge and sauce does Not have that real Italian taste . being a native New Yorker - I can Not brag about this restaurant on the contrary I recommend U pass on a slice of this sub par Pizza.

An overnight layover at JFK, my hotel receptionist (Delilah at Hampton Inn) suggested Pizza Port for free delivery and great NYC pizza. I called to order around 7:45p on a Friday (no CC option, all cash). 45 minutes for delivery (great for a Friday) and after a day of travel I was starving. Sadly, the garlic knots were stone cold (I'm not sure they were ever "warm" to be honest). As disappointing as that was, the pizza was delicious and just what I needed (made it through half a small by myself and I'm not even sorry b/c it was THAT good). Awesome pizza and fast-ish delivery, netted out with deeply disappointing garlic knots brings this rating to a 3-star (but with a lot of upside potential if they figure out how to deliver warm food).

We (the family) ordered two pizzas yesterday for take out! The pizzas were still hot when we got the home and everyone loved the crispy crust, the loads of cheese and ample amounts of pepperoni and mushrooms. We will order again soon!
5. DiVino Pizzeria Restaurant
DiVino Pizzeria Restaurant is a unique and lively dining experience that we hope will bring quality food and service to all of our customers who "live to eat".

Ok Howard Beach has plenty of italian restaurants...but this one is new and refreshing....the decor is new but the pictures that make-up the wall decor represent a wide spectrum of celebrities .....the food is good with specials every day and the pizza is second to.... that's a tall task for crossbay food ....the service is fast and courteous...and the prices are very reasonable...this restaurant is owned by four local residents who will walk table to table and make you feel comfortable....it feels a little like home hereThank you for your 5 star review! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the ambiance as well as the food and service. Your review is greatly appreciated and we look forward to your next visit.-The Management Team at DiVino Pizzeria

I'm in Howard Beach a lot, and am beyond tired of the Italian eateries there. Variable food, claustrophobic seating, high noise levels, wait staff that are great at ignoring you and forgetting what you asked for. We found Aldo's by accident. And unlike most reviewers, we made it into the dining room. Out front is a pizza place with quick service. In back is Italian dining, with every single thing we've tried being very good or better, with warm, friendly service, and on our last visit, a live singer (Italian and American easy listening favorites). I've had their veal parm - tender, tasty, and on this visit, lentil vegetable soup - among the best I've ever had, Osso Buco - a special that night, wonderful, over creamy risotto. I couldn't finish it all, so I had the leftovers the next day, still amazing. My wife had another special, sole with crabmeat stuffing. I won't touch most fish unless thin, crispy fried (think LJS) but the fish was very good and the stuffing even better! ONLY thing uninspiring , the mussels. They are in bad need of a lot more garlic! Overall, as a group we are beyond finicky - and we all enjoyed our meal!One note - up front, getting pizza, I'm sure it's inexpensive. Get a dish like mine, not so much. But I did get 2 meals out of it, and enjoyed every last scrap!So ignore reviews from a couple years ago by people stuck at Days Inn or JFK who didn't like what they had. I gather that management changed at some point; one way or another, the arrogant Italian eateries in HB down Cross Bay could learn a lot from the food and service here!

Six of us went for Sunday dinner. When we sat down the sun was shining right into my husband's face. Asked the waiter to lower the shade....completely blown off...didn't even attempt. Took forever to get 2 beers, 2 wines, 2 cokes. Seems the waiter puts in the order and then waits for the Runner/busboy to do everything. Got the cokes quickly, ten minutes for the wine, another five for beer? Food came out at all different times, again at the mercy of the runner. Had to ask twice for water....twice for more bread. Lots of people running around but not sure what they do. Food was good...expensive...not large portions....not great service. I will stick to Lenny's and Gino's.

Great Italian food and pizza. Everything is good there. I typically order pizza for pizza night. Although there are many excellent dishes, my personal favorite is File of Sole Franchese.

In a city of great pizza, itâs hard to stand out. New Pizza Pizzeria has been in business for over 60 years and is an old time favorite with great pizza. They serve the crust crispy with fresh sauce and cheese. Itâs perfect.
