Rizzo’s Fine Pizza Co.

“To begin with, the garlic knots are incredible and are so tender and flavorful that I could have eaten all of them myself.”

“The Aumma Aumma pie (meatball & sausage) and the Americana Pie (grilled chicken, red onion and bacon) are DELISH!”

“I tried the Auma Auma and the classic rizzo's square which I received complimentary as a first time customer.”

  1. for real, best pizza experience I've ever had. here's why.
    1. our service! she was the best! it was pretty busy, and she was alone, and she nailed it. Extremely detailed in explaining the Special, but not overbearing at all. Very helpful! And when we mentioned we wanted to visit Flushing during our trip she was like 'um no' and told us to go to Astoria instead and gave us a million good reasons why. Also, we bonded over our love of bao.
    2. the Happy Hour deals are so good! (see the picture)
    3.  restaurant is cozy & clean, wifi is free & good!
    4. THE PIZZA! SO GOOD! we got a tomato, mushroom, basil, ham I don't ever remember but it was so good. no tomato sauce, thin crust, oh man.
    5. I asked for hot sauce or chili flakes or whatever, and she brought out this homemade ghost pepper oil (while warning us over & over that this stuff was not to be messed with) and it was perfect! so good.
    I will definitely be back!

  2. Lapin and I came to this pizzeria after the mess with Ariel's Latin Bistro. The restaurant is very small and even though we didn't have reservations we were seated very quickly. We ordered two regular square pies and thought the pizza was really delicious. I felt they could have added a bit more cheese to the 4 slices(in the square pie, 6 in the circle pie) as there was more sauce than cheese on some of the slices. The crust was roughly half an inch thick with the perfect proportion of crunch and dough. I do wish, they add a bigger pie size than individual pan size. The waitress was nice but not very inattentive. She never came around to refill our water glasses but dropped off the dessert menu and asked how we enjoyed our meal twice. Right next to the restaurant, is a more casual sit down place which Lapin and I will go the next time as it was very crowded when we went but the casual spot was completely empty.

  3. Omg these pizzas were soooo delicious
    I was so surprised this place was not crowded and was quiet, quite rare for a place like that in NYC.

    We had the loaded knots, the four cheese, the artichoke recommended by our awesome waitress and the chicken one
    The 4 of all did like the 3 of them most of all the four cheese and the artichoke.
    An amazing pizza place
    I will definitely come back 🙂

  4. Thanks Uber 5th Birthday in NYC I got to try the BBQ chicken pizza for free. It was delicious and perfect. I finally found BBQ chicken pizza as good as the one I tried in Miami. The square pizza here is small but good enough for me. This portion is perfect for me since I want to eat healthy now. This is one of my favorite pizza restaurants now. I definitely will come back to try the other pizzas here and come for happy hour. I'm happy I got to try the pizza here.

  5. Crust is nothing special, Don't see hype of the  square pizza here. Kinda Bready and not enough bite to the crust. Toppings were nothing special either

    –Putanesca (without the red onions): I wanted something with mushrooms.
    –carnosa: definitely for the meat lovers! Tastier toppings than the Putanesca but again the crust just doesn't do it for me

    Personal pizzas are $16 each which is kinda pricey for a personal pizza! I could only finish half so maybe  I'd just share an appetizer and one pizza

    NOTE: CASH ONLY

  6. Deserves all five of the stars!

    First time visiting NYC and decided to use a local Groupon to check out the pizza scene. So there is a Lot of pizza places, but this one definitely takes the slice (sorry).

    Came in for Valentine's day brunch with a Groupon for a pie + two drinks for 19. I wished I got our server's name because she was just brilliant! She had such a good spirit and just warmed you up! The place itself is tucked in Clinton St, and is pretty small and cosy.

    We got one of the meater pizzas with bacon (all prices the same) and it was amazing. Perfect thin crispy crust and not at all too oily.

    The server also had her own special hot sauce/oil that her family makes!! SPICE IS MY THING AND SHE MADE ME FALL IN LOVE . It's not too spicy where it'll ruin the taste of the pizza, but it's enough to give your pie a kick while leaving you the taste.

    I would definitely come again when in the area. I'm also drooling as I'm writing this review so I should stop and book another flight back to NYC.

  7. So it's not my favorite pizza, I'm not a square slice kinda girl to begin with.

    The regular square slice has a very mild, sweet sauce with a bit of cheese hanging out in the middle. I prefer the cheese incorporated, the flavor of the sauce more balanced. It almost tasted like bowling alley pizza.

    But the buffalo chicken pizza was delicious! I think they may call it the Diavola Pizza on their menu. Grilled chicken, red onion, bacon, BBQ sauce, and cheese. The BBQ sauce is out of this world, it's not overly sweet or vinegary, it's thick with a perfect tang. And the red onions work really well.

    And the loaded garlic knots brought the hold thing to another level. Bacon and cheese and basil pesto and tomato sauce and garlic; why even serve garlic knots any other way?? These were sooooo good. I want them now. Now damn it!

    They have two storefronts, a takeaway spot and connected to that next door is a bar and restaurant with a great happy hour. I'll definitely be back.

  8. I have to update my review. The service here is absolutely horrible here. We sat waiting for 30 minutes for our pie and asked if it was done. The woman behind the counter handed us the pie. We asked how long it was sitting there and she said she didn't know and got back on the phone and ignored us. Absolutely ridiculously bad service. I will not be back
