Good selection of wine & beer, but also BYOB friendly, which is great if you want to save money or bring something different. Campbell Cheese across the street has a nice small selection of rare beer.

went here on a pizza joint hunt following great suggestions from this article( https://arrivedo.com/article/where-to-find-the-best-new-york-pizza-along-the-l-train), don't miss the fried pizza

The deep fried Montanara pizza is amazing. It sounds overwhelming and a little gross but it's actually more subtle and delicious. Plus they deliver and they're definitely my go to pizza place.

The nutella pizza is todie for.The fried montanara is delicious.There pesto pasta or pizza arenot to be missed.Aslongas you get the right chef,he puts love unto everything he makes and you can tast it

Everything I liked the montanaro pizza is different with the fried pizza crust. The service was good on a scale of 1 to 10 10 being the best I give it a 8.

For a change of pace, try the calzone pizza. The dough is blackened around the edges and filled with sopresata, ricotta and mozzarella. It's a great, gooey delight. Read more

Try the fried pizza (Montanara) at least once but don't make that your main meal. Their Margherita Regina is amazing, and their rice ball is the best I've had ever. Try to save room for dessert! BYOB

Great mix of classics and new tastes. The wine menu is good, and the service speed is just right for ordering a beer while you wait.

Love the neopolitan style pizza, dough is delicious. If you like spicy get the picante pie. This place is even open very late!

First-class pizza in all respects, but there are a couple of unique items here. Try the montanara, a pizza whose crust is first FRIED(!) then baked. The carbonara is an interesting brunch option. Read more

There's no hiding sub-par flavors with fried here. Lightly fried, then topped and baked, resulting in an incredibly chewy, crispy, light, and tasty crust. Read more

Must order the montanara pizza. It's deep-fried until almost cooked through, and finally tossed in a pan, topped, and finished in the wood-burning oven. The crust is puffy, chewy, crispy.

The Marinara a la Starita pie ($9) is "a three-component dish: a zesty, herbal tomato sauce amped up with garlic and spices atop a perfectly pliant, charred crust with a stray leaf of basil." Read more

Among the best dishes is the montanara fritte, a pie that’s both fried and oven-fired. It emerges from the oven chewy with crispy pockets of air in the homemade crust
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011
Try the mind-blowing Montanara pizza, deep-fried and finished in a wood-fired oven for a chewy yet featherlight crust. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more

Fantastic option that's open late. Perfect for late night noms if you want a quiet end to the night.

Overall a great place. Try their signature fried pizza, the Montanara. It's delicious! 🍕
Cole KennedyMay 27, 2016
Margherita pizza was great. Tangy sauce, stretchy mozzarella, and a chewy crust. So good.
JulieSeptember 25, 2014
PIZZA! Super cool looking pizza oven as well and good service
SkeeterNYCSeptember 24, 2011
Must try the fried pizza, if only for the crust. The crust is delicious. Also, don't miss the salami pie. Actually, all the pies are pretty solid.

Try: The montanara, a margherita made with a crust shaped and flash-fried before being topped and finished in the wood-burning oven, is a popular choice. Read more

Sure, the food here is incredible, but it's almost impossible to get the wait staff to care about you after you're done eating. If you find yourself waiting too long, don't be afraid to flag 'em down.

If the special pizza happens to be fig, prosciutto and gorgonzola, GET IT. So freaking good. And the crust is so chewy and perfect.

Great soups and paninis. The truffle oil pizza is delicious. For dessert the nutella pizza and tiramisu are a must.
Emily KaneJanuary 5, 2016
Believe the hype surrounding the fried Montanara pizza. It is truly sensational.
Danny NathanSeptember 5, 2016
Good sit-down pizza (not a "slice" joint). Eat at the restaurant - pizza isn't as good to-go.
Andrew TJune 30, 2013
One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. It's a must if you're in NY
Francis DuvalJune 30, 2013
My friend who went to Italy says the pizza is as good here. I could eat the dough alone.
Chana MillerMarch 12, 2012
Everything here is delicious, from the salads to the pizzas. Come early on a weeknight and you won't have to wait!

The mille foglie is puff pastry with nutella and whipped cream, like a fancy hand-made Napoleon.
SkeeterNYCSeptember 27, 2011
PS - all the salads are really fresh too. Why not start with a nice fresh salad? You'll feel less guilty after all that pizza.
Tyler AndersenSeptember 29, 2012
Their menu is significantly different online from in the restaurant. Don't let your mouth water from reading the menu online.

I've never gotten anything here that wasn't amazing. Close your eyes, point at the menu, order that.

The Nola panini was delicious. It's basically panini with fresh pizza dough for the bread, tasty!

Get a front row seat at the bar and watch the magic unfold. Forget mary p's comment, she had an anuerism.
