Eric FriedmanOctober 14, 2014Are you starting with the meatballs? Solid choice. A great custom pie is the margarita pizza with sausage. Asking for the pizza wine is a must - it's cold and carbonated (trust me it's good)!
Erik CintronOctober 18, 2013This tiny but cool pizza spot was serving made to order person pizza pies Which is the only way to do it. They have all different types of topping and also serve alcohol and suggest perfect pairings.
Kasey MaOctober 2, 2014Had the margherita with white anchovies on it. WHITE anchovies soaked in white wine. It was absolutely scrumptious. Never had anchovies like that. And the dough was so light, crispy, and fluffy!
Angela ChungSeptember 7, 2018Love this small spot for dinner away from all the crazy rush everywhere else. Amazing and very spicy soppressata super piccante!
Katie EytchSeptember 10, 2016Wow, legit Naples style pizza that blew my mind. And the tiramisu was quality too which is rare!! Can't wait to go back and try the fancier pizzas
Pratheeksha KSJanuary 21, 2018Buffalo mozzarella pizza is so good. They are happy to remove the meat if you're vegetarian. They charge for substitutions. The dough is so tasty. Don't miss this if you like Neapolitan style pizzas
Lizzy SaxeSeptember 11, 2016All the pizzas are great, but I recommend branching out. Try the Brussels sprout pie or the Colatura di'alici.
Stina P.January 4, 2014brussel sprouts pizza and mixed greens before to start are all you need to know. the wait on a Friday moves fast and music was mostly spoon or the equivalent. perfect for a date or catch up with pals!- JwowJuly 8, 2014One if NYC's best lunch specials matched with one of NYC's best pies. Pizza and salad for only $12! The Brussels sprout pizza is a must. Insider tip: be sure to have a glass if the perfect pizza wine.
Giulio del BufaloMarch 15, 2015One of the best pizza places in town, authentic Italian pizza with some cool twists. The dough is chewy in a good way, not super thin though if that's what you're looking for. Stracciatella is my fave
Ayse D OzturkMay 9, 2017The best pizza dough ever. It is thin in the middle and thick and fluffy on the outside. Sopressata piccante is seriously hot, meatball pizza is perfect with lots of sauce and basil.
Alex EngelAugust 25, 2014All the toppings are great. The crust is doughy but not too chewy. Usually a wait to get in so don't go starving otherwise you'll get lured by the adjacent restaurants that look great too.
Utterly superb pizza and a small but perfect beer selection. Excellent little spot.
Charles GuerreroOctober 5, 2014I love crust like this. Crisp, yet pillowy. One person can easily eat a single pie. Try the Brussels sprout pizza for something different.
Solid Naples style pizza. We stop here every Valentine's Day for heart shaped pies #cheesytraditions
Red FabbriMarch 12, 2013The best pizza in the neighborhood, and maybe even the city. Eat-in: get the octopus and any of the pizzas. Take-out: the margarita pie and brussels sprout/pancetta white pie, no sides.
Time Out New YorkSeptember 5, 2014Order the Margherita— it's a classic combination of tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil with melted islands of buffalo-milk mozzarella on a thin layer of sweet sauce. Read more
The Corcoran GroupMay 21, 2010Arguably some of the best pizza in Manhattan. Our favorites are the Marinara and the Smoked Scamorzza. One pizza is enough for two people; although it’s so good you may just want to take some home.
JillianMarch 18, 2015We all know the brussels sprouts pie is the move by now. But the MEATBALLS. crazy good and a little bit spicy, too. Dip your pizza crust in that sauce. Wow wow wow.
JeffreySeptember 6, 2013Prosciutto di Parma - Killer crust, a chewy slightly charred base, and a slew of inventive toppings like Brussels sprouts with smoked pancetta or cherry stone clams with oreganata butter,
jon ferrerAugust 23, 2014the pizzas are excellent here, especially the mushroom-sausage and soppresata pie. their lunch special is a really great deal. $12 for a salad and one of four pizzas.
Valerie SecklerOctober 1, 2012Very good pizza + value can be found at Motorino. At lunch M-F, $12 brings field greens and onions with fresh pepper and sea salt, plus a choice of generous and flavorful individual pizzas.
Halstead PropertyJuly 11, 2013There are tons of choices with unique toppings; yet, it’s the brussel sprout pizza that knocks the ball out of the park. Get those veggies in with a slice that is not overpoweringly oily!- Valerie SecklerOctober 7, 2012Zingy tomato sauce makes a Neapolitan margherita memorable. A wood-burning oven delivers chewy crust. Pizza pie + mesclun w/fresh pepper+sea salt, can be had in a $12 lunch, M-F. Old New York setting.
- Collette SNovember 17, 2015So good - but there's always a wait! The $12 lunch special is the way to go. Also, the soppressata pizza and perfect pizza wine are fantastic
Eric HAugust 10, 2014Shows no signs of slowing down after all these years...Brussels sprout pie and diavolo pie are perfect together. Only knock is service can feel rushed with so many mouths to feed.
The Daily MealSeptember 6, 2012In addition to the traditional varieties of marinara and Margherita pizza, Motorino offers a handful of more spirited pies, including one with cherry stone clams, and another with Brussels sprouts. Read more
Ali ColangeloMarch 5, 2016From the pizzas to meatballs, it's all good! The Brussel sprout pizza is no joke. Pay no attention that it sounds weird. If you like the veggie, you'll love this!
AdrienMay 1, 2015Lunch special is the best way to try one the best pizza in EV. Start with the beets salad. End with tiramisu. (no espresso there)- DoubleDeuceFebruary 16, 2015Fantastic place. Come with your date. Not too expensive, not too loud, decent location. Always lots of neighborhood options to move along if it's going well.
Jessi DexDecember 12, 2014It's good, but not wait-in-the-cold-for-30-minutes good. Restaurant is cramped and seats near the window are frigid in the winter. Interesting selection of wines and the fresh oregano was a nice treat
Jennifer LeeMarch 25, 2012bread lover's paradise! soft-and-chewy inside/lightly charred outside crust makes every pizza a delight, and the topping combos are all well done. try the b.sprouts-pancetta, margherita, or clam.
LizaAugust 22, 2014Pizza crust is out of this world but the Brussels sprout and pancetta pizza is overrated - olive oil and larger pancetta pieces were tasty, but the brussels sprouts were just like any other.
Sissi NieAugust 26, 2014The heirloom tomatoes during the summer season is to die for, so get it either on the white pizza or in a salad- trust me, it's worth it.
Cole KennedyOctober 30, 2019It’s good and one of the only options for sit-down pizza, but definitely not my favorite Neapolitan style spot in the city. If you’re intent on table service, go with Joe & Pat’s around the corner.
Tom WangJune 2, 2015Pretty good actually. The Brussel sprouts pizza is phenomenal. Make sure you know what you're getting doe
Jarel HillDecember 6, 2017Had spicy pepperoni, don dom and Brussels sprouts. Would pass on the don dom next time but the other two were bomb. Crust was awesome here.
CompassJuly 24, 2013Ear thin-crust Neapolitan pizza like it was intended to be eaten - with a light, airy crust, bubbling warm cheese, and simple yet innovative topping combinations.
Keith KaplanApril 14, 2015The Brussels sprout pizza is soooo good! The lunch special is a great deal for $12
These guys took Una Pizza's location and wood-burning oven. Less authentic and hardcore than UPN, with a more diverse menu. But more affordable, and still the best Neapolitan-style pie in NYC.
JamesOctober 9, 2013Authentic Italian pizzas worth writing home about. Definitely grab a glass of the sparkling red wine - it is indeed the perfect wine for pizza.- Noah WeissJuly 23, 2011The brussels sprouts and pancetta pizza is by far the best. Perfectly smoky. It's a top 3 pie in the city after Di Fara's plain and Keste's prosciutto and arugula.
- PatrickMarch 5, 2019Menu Prices listed on foursquare are wrong and higher. Food is very good, but they are starting to outprice it self with other great places in the area. Food is better at restaurant, not delivered.
danielle grantDecember 11, 2014This is one of the best pizza places in New York - it's completely authentic and incredibly delicious. Also recommend the Fennel Salad
Jacob AronoffMarch 25, 2018Great Neapolitan pizza, the crust is amazing. I got their sopressata picante, but I think their margarita pizza is the best.
Kristina RudicMay 11, 2016AHMAZING. Ask what they recommend because the waiters won't steer you wrong!
Erin CartwrightSeptember 22, 2013Amazing pizza. The crust is to die for - light and airy. Seriously one of my favorite crusts.
