This is our go-to pizza place. We've eaten inside a couple of times and sometimes have ordered delivery of items other than pizza. The food is solid, red sauce, spicy and hot. Delivery is prompt and the guys are friendly.
8. Numero 28 Ristorante Pizzeria Bar
Reviewed By Forest-Hills-Cynic
I like old fashioned NY Style Pizza - with a thin crust that's soft & chewy - wet with spicy tomato sauce & mozzarella: with simple add ons: sausage, onions, mushrooms & pepperoni. I hate the the newly chic, micro thin crust pizza with a smidgeon of plain sauce made from crushed tomatoes only; baked to imitate bone dry Swedish Crisp bread - covered in exotic vegetables that never grew in Italy. I also hate the flavored bread that's Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza.So I was happy to discover the newly opened Numero 28. Yes its a thin crust pie cooked in the ubiquitous wood fire domed clay oven, but the crust is not charred into charcoal: it remains soft, moist and chewy and the sauce was wonderfully seasoned - flavorful with herbs & spices. The $17 individual pie is served on a 12" flat stone, the $34 couple's pie is 8" x 24" served on a wood platter. Beers are only $5.I was disappointed in the Chocolate Cake as it was rather dry. And the Mixta Salad came with a cloyingly sweet dressing on the side; I suggest you taste it first and then send it back for a simple wine & vinegar.

If you want a pizza with the toppings you desire; and if you want the crispiest crust one can imagine; look no further. This is the place to go. Also friendly, polite servers and a happy atmosphere.

We have been here before, just to have their pizza. It was excellent! Rumor is that their Sicilian-style is great, to. But in the mood for something more. Not disappointed in the baked ziti (lots of cheese), lasagna (meat and cheese), and meatballs.Impressed that it has been there for so many years! You would think because of the odd location, only the locals know it, but it is worth the trip to find it.

Pizza Classica has been a favorite guys night out destination for us for the past 9 years. Our group of 5 visits this establishment to enjoy their great food and experience their great service. Service was not great tonight. I felt we were ignored the entire evening. Getting drink refills tonight was like pulling teeth. We only saw our server when he took the order, once when we flagged him down for a refill, and when the check was dropped. Definitely, not the experience we anticipated. Never had such Subpar service here. Our group met 13 years ago working as waiters in a catering hall. We know hospitality and still tipped 20%. Maybe our server had an off night.We started with rice balls and wings. Both were very good. Wings were slightly spicy and crispy. As an entree, the three of us split a Chicken Caesar Pizza. It was as good as usual with plenty of grilled chicken. For dessert, I had Italian Cheesecake with coffee. It was a perfect cup of coffee! I would love to know the brand. The Italian Cheesecake was decadent, very light and creamy with a hint of orange.The food quality ended up saving this review from a "Poor" rating. Hopefully, next visit will have better service. I think it was a one off. We would tip 30% for great service. All in all, check this place out for dinner. You cannot go wrong.

We went to Deeâs for a baby shower! The staff was very friendly and the service was excellent! We sampled 3 different pizza that were amazing- just like the ones I had in Italy! We also had pasta! I wish there was a location in South Jersey!!!

At my girlfriends urging we (finally) had a meal at this local Italian restaurant which is a mere 3 1/2 blocks walking distance from our abode. She has garnered many great reviews from her co-workers specific to Portofino so yesterday after work we paid a visit so to speak. The interior is airy with high ceilings and big windows which is attractive from my point of view. At front is a small bar where drinks are prepared however this space lacks a counter or seats hence you may dine only at tables which are covered in thick white tablecloths. Napkins are cloth too and chairs are cushioned hence an upscale type ambience. Delicious garlic bread is first offered to all diners : small crusty and toasted slices of Italian bread delicately adorned with olive oil and garlic hence you may enjoy a bite or two with your wine or cocktails.We started our meal with the grilled octopus appetizer which we shared and offers enough for two. I typically will order grilled octopus if on the menu and use this as a gauge as tasty, soft grilled octopus requires a level of kitchen proficiency. This dish is listed on the menu with a connotation âPortugueseâ which I guess is the origin of the octopus. Naming convention aside, the octopus is presented in pieces and mixed with salad greens and lightly coated with EVOO and spices. It is a wonderful dish and my girlfriend and I enjoyed the tender and tasty pieces bite after bite until the serving dish was empty.For a main course she ordered the Angelotti : pasta stuffed with shiitake mushrooms, asparagus and sun dried tomatoes. The pasta was coated in a Madeira sauce and my companion found it quite delicious. I opted for a Rigatoni Bolognese which was also quite tasty and well prepared. House wine (Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot) in addition to a Dewers and ginger ale were satisfying accompaniments to our meal which we finished with green tea, a double espresso and an excellent egg custard.I did not expect this local restaurant to be so good, am happy it is close by and we will return soon !

Nick's Pizza Forest Hills has been serving up thin crust pizzas & calzones for over 20 years. Melty mozzarella and fresh ingredients in Forest Hills, NY.
Reviewed By Gary P K
I had no problem with the food, but I had a problem with the manner of service that I received. I asked him to have some wider width lemon wedges for my water so that I could squeeze them into my water. Well, he refused to go into the kitchen to cut a lemon the way I wanted. He also refused to get me a lemon from the kitchen so that I may cut it myself. All I was left with was these non-squeezable really thin lemon slices that absolutely did nothing. These lemon wedges are a garnish, whereas, I should have never been denied these lemon wedges for my water. A very reasonable garnish request from a guest inside of Nick's having dinner should have never be denied. This is the cost of doing business, an extremely small cost, mind you. My bill was $40.00 Good service means as much as the food!!Gary, rest assured you're right to expect outstanding service here -- I'm truly sorry for any miscommunication on our end regarding your lemon wedges. It's great to know you enjoyed the food overall, and I hope you'll have another opportunity to join us for a visit sometime soon. You can always expect a warm welcome here.All the best,Gus, Owner
