I love their pizza here. It's pretty great. Very tasty and super crunchy. Also tried the fried calamari which was great as well. One star off for Cash only business.
One of the best clam pies I've had.
Thin crust but not too thin where it sadly droops as soon as you pick it up like it doesn't want to be eaten or something.
The clam was awesome – generous, delicious, flavorful without any weird fishy taste or anything.
Pies only here. I liked that they let you do half toppings (plain on half the pie). This way you can try the plain as well. The price difference wasn't that much for the half/half pies but cool that they offer it on the menu. The plain was good too.
Place was pretty big, lots of seating. Believe I saw a private party room too. Friendly service.
Some craft beer offerings even.
Also, Ralph's Famous Italian Ices is conveniently located across the street but they are closed for the winter, fyi.
CASH ONLY! There is an ATM inside though – not sure about fees.
We enjoyed our time here, we order a margarita pizza pie an it was really good. We then ordered a bunch of finger foods to pig out with.
*Wings
*Frys
*Chicken fingers
*Calamari
Thing is they don't sell slices only pies which was fine for my dinning in, my boys can eat 2-3 slices each.
Nice setting, we where seated right away thank goodness bc right after us became a wait to eat.
Parking is a bit rough bc the lot is very small but along the side blocks you'll find something.
We'll be back again.
Yummy!!!! Was looking to get a taste of "NY pizza" and got exactly that. That crispy thin yet still chewy crust…so good.
*Fried Calamari lightly fried, batter was good it's not like it would just flake off like other fried calamaris
*Garbage pie little bit oily but generous amounts of meat!
*Margarita pie definitely liked the basil on it, wish they put more!
*Got M.O.R. pie as carry-out, prob will also be delicious!
Service was kind of on the slow side for our table in particular, not sure why. Other tables around us were seated after us yet got their drinks, had their order put in and got their food a lot faster than us. Oh well! We weren't in any rush anyway.
My husband and I were in Staten Island visiting Snug Harbor and we knew had to visit the famous Denino's. We were glad we did! Not the best pizza I've ever had, but pretty darn good! You can only order whole pies here, which to me says real pizza place. They have about 10-15 choices or you can get a cheese pizza and add toppings you want. My husband and friends decided on a margherita pizza, a white pizza, and a buffalo chicken pizza. We did half white pizza and half buffalo chicken pizza on one, which they had no problem with. The crust is very crispy and thin. The margherita was good! The cheese was of high quality, the basil seemed fairly fresh, the sauce had pretty good flavor. Maybe could have used a bit more garlic. The white pizza is different from a typical white pizza; there was no ricotta on it, just mozzarella and onions. It was pretty good too! Again, could have used more garlic. I didn't have the buffalo chicken pizza but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Not living in Staten Island, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here, but I would go back if in Staten Island. This place is cash only, so prepare accordingly when going. We went on a Saturday afternoon and didn't have to wait at all.
Denino's is one of the best pizza places on the island. My husband has been coming here since he was a little kid and now we come here together. Each time we've been here, although it's usually packed, we never wait long. There is a bar at the front of the restaurant too so there is somewhere to wait. Last time, we ordered a pie, half sausage, half plain. Amazing. The fried calamari is also a favorite of ours. This is an all around great family place with good quality food.
Why not stop in Staten Island for some pizza while passing to go back to Brooklyn? I did pay $10+ for toll right? — that's literally what convinced me to stumble upon Denino's
Luckily there wasn't a line when we got there late Sunday afternoon, but it was definitely busy. Staff is super welcoming and provided fast service. We started with a fried calamari and had the margherita pie with mushrooms and sausage. Actually, the menu had so many great options that the waitress had to return to our table several times. We just couldn't decide! Calamari was decent, nothing special but it was the marinara that was BOMB.COM. It has a hint of spice at the end but i also suggest splashing a few drops of tabasco in it. Really good sauce.
This was one of the best slices I've ever had! EVER. I am a huge pizza enthusiast. The crust wasn't too thin or doughy. It had a nice crisp underneath and i loved that. The pizza didn't get soggy after sitting there for a while. Between 3 people, we killed it. Also, do you know that lovely cheese pull everyone wants to see when you pick up a slice? Yeah, it had it alright! I will definitely be back for more pizza when I go through Staten Island again!
Bought a pizza for take-out. Cash ONLY!. The pizza was good, but not the best on Staten Island. Looking forward to trying some menu options, while dining in. Definitely was packed on a saturday night- not many parking options.
