Pizza Superstar is a nice addition to the neighborhood. Importantly, it's not a slice joint, but a nicer sit-down place with table service. My boyfriend and I had an excellent Groupon which included two pies and two beers. Since the friendly server (with a cute Italian accent) told us we could order anything, we opted for two of the fancier pies. If you go this route, the pizza will arrive piled so high with delicious toppings that the crust gets a bit lost underneath. It will fall apart in the middle immediately, so you should fork and knife it. My prosciutto pizza was delicious and definitely more successful. My boyfriend got the bresaola, which was alright. We both found it very salty since there was no tomato sauce to provide some much needed acidity.
I don't think I would order either of these pies again without the Groupon, however. I'm the kind of girl who prefers a $1 slice more than an $18 fancy-pants pie when it's my wallet on the line. I wish I had tried their Margherita pie too, since its probably more similar to a traditional pizza. I'll definitely come back to check it out and grab a calzone too- they looked great.
Darn. I really wanted to be impressed. This was for delivery, so I suspect it will be better in person.
Crust was SO thin that it was flimsy and flaccid upon arrival. When I picked up the box, it actually felt empty. When I reheated a piece for my husband, it was so thin that even with the cheese on top it was translucent. It was cold upon arrival to boot (we're a clip away so again, something that I'm sure wouldn't be an issue in the restaurant).
There were some lovely looking options on the menu and we'd definitely give it a try again in person. I would not recommend for delivery.
Pizza today is as common as hoagies, hamburgers and scones. However, like anything else, we all have become very selective and discerning when it comes to our pizza and pizza eateries.
I'm happy to report Pizza Superstar has made it on my pizza craving destination list. If your looking for some over hyped pizza spot then this is not the place for you. Lots of places get dubbed #1, only to end up as so-so. Now, if your looking for authentic Italian style pizza that's made on the spot-brick in a brick oven oven, then BINGO, this is the place for you. I know that not saying much but please, take my word for it.
Additionally, the selection of pizza options surprised me and given the looks on he faces of fellow diners, we all shared a common approving smile and empty pizza serving platters. One last point, if your like me and like dessert after your meal, let's just say they deliver on this front as well. I'm a fan and I'm sure you will be as well. The pizza and service was Magnifique!
I was really nervous about trying Pizza Superstar, as the name seemed a bit inauthentic, but please don't let the name deter you! I honestly thought this was some of the best pizza I have had in New York.
The crispy, thin crust pizza is cooked in a large, front-of-house brick oven. You can watch the chef add the fresh ingredients and toss your pizza while you enjoy complimentary focaccia.
The Prosciutto Pizza is a must. It is baked to perfection with bubbling fresh mozzarella cheese and tasty tomato sauce, then piled high with arugula and thinly sliced prosciutto. The mild mozzarella and salty prosciutto balances perfectly for a truly incredible mouthful.
Do not leave without trying dessert. We watched as the chef rolled ricotta cheese and Nutella into large pizza dough pockets. He baked the dessert calzone until the Nutella and cheese fused together and the dough was crispy. It was served to us on a plate with a few dollops of ricotta, a drizzle of more Nutella and powdered sugar. Basically heaven on a plate. The mix of the ricotta with Nutella was perfect, as it gave the filling a more fluffy, lite texture with a fresh bite to it.
This is also located down the street from the Barclays Center. I suggest taking a trip here right before your next concert or game. Grab food and a few drinks – you wont regret it.
We had a kale caesar salad and a margarita pizza delivered to our hotel and were not a fan of either. First off, the pizza arrived cold. I know people like to exaggerate by saying their food was cold, when it was actually like luke-warm. That would have been okay, but our pizza was legit SUPER COLD. I get that this is a risk of delivery, but there are such things as insulated bags to help maintain the heat. Our delivery guy had it in a plastic bag…
My kale caesar salad needed more dressing – way too dry. The pizza itself tasted okay, but cold pizza is never enjoyable unless it's being had for breakfast the next day straight out of the fridge. Oh and it only had 2 pathetic basil leaves on top. Basil is in such abundance in the summer – I don't understand why restaurants skimp on the basil on margarita pizzas.
I'd been to Broccolino before for dinner, and didn't realize until an embarassingly long time later that they share their kitchen with Pizza Superstar next door (at least the pizza oven).
I placed an order on the Yelp app, and then made my way over. They were just starting my order, so I sat at the bar and played Candy Crush because I'm an adult.
I went with the broccoli rabe and sausage pizza. $16 before tax and tip for a 12" personal pie. Not the cheapest, but sometimes you gotta treat yoself. The pie itself was okay. Nothing to write home about. The underside of the crust could've been more evenly cooked. The toppings could've been better spread out. But it took 15 minutes on a Saturday night.
Honestly, I can't see Pizza Superstar lasting for a long time. Patsy's is two doors down and they have a much cooler space and their pizza is better. And then there's Artichoke around the corner for ungodly large slices.
But hey, I'll never complain about a surplus of pizza.
Thin crust, brick oven pizza done right.
I discovered Pizza Superstar last night as I was exiting the Barclays center. I Wasn't expecting much but was hungry and wanted to end my night with couple of slices. I decided to go with a pepperoni Slice and another interesting looking slice with chicken ? & prochuito ? Not sure, remember I was drunk. Their slices are very big and they use a generous amount of cheese and toppings. The crust is crispy and thin and real absorbs that brick oven flavor. The pepperoni slice is rated highly among pizza shops that I frequent and the other slice that I can't accurately describe was OUTSTANDING. It's up there with the best slices I've had in recent memory.
This place gets 5 stars. They are open late, the pizza is excellent and they accept debit. This spot is an exception the trend of terrible pizza that has taken over this town. I will make this part of my ritual whenever I'm at Barclays
shares a kitchen with near by broccolino. heard good things about brocs, figured why not try it?
good thing i did. tiny, trendy, cozy space churning out fresh pies in speedy fashion. Tip: NO SLICES. get individual for 11/12 dollars +, or an 18 inch family size for extra. we got the prosciutto pie and it was beyond solid. crust was thin, hot,
and crispy. had to rush to catch some boxing at the barclays and wish we had more time to sample some more stuff. maybe some day soon….
