I am nearing 60 years old and used to live in Astoria from mid 60s to mid 70s when we moved to Manhattan. What I miss from my childhood in Astoria was the great pizza you could get at nearly any mom and pop pizza joint. Well, that doesn't exist any more, especially in Manhattan, and if it does, it's probably 10 buck a slice. So, in my early golden years I have been yearning for a good standard slice of NY pizza when I stumbled upon a video on FB of Gaudio's showcasing the pizza and food and I swear the images brought me back to my childhood memories of great pizza. Well, last weekend I convinced my girlfriend to drive me out to Astoria to try this pizza. They do not disappoint! Not only is this pizza as good as pizza was back when I was a kid, it somehow tasted better! This is the best pizza joint that I have been to in DECADES! And, its extremely affordable. The people are very friendly. The guys I saw in the video were actually there working. It seems like a great friendly place that really takes care of their customers. The place is extremely clean and inviting. It's like a small intimate Italian restaurant. I can't wait to go back and try the chicken parm. This is my new go to joint! I will definitely be going back many times!

They have the best chicken parmesan period. Simply amazing. I always come back here every time I'm in Astoria. Note that the picture shared is only half of what they serve. The other half went to my daughter. They were nice to add extra pasta with marinara.

Marie was a jem as our waitress & Nick the owner was very friendly and accommodating to our group of nine from Chicago. It was our first day in Queens & one of our first stops for food. They made us feel welcome just like family. Marie entertained us with her humor and we left laughing & hugging- now that's what I call Italian hospitality! Thank you, we will visit again when we are back in town!

Great service! The food is delicious, I had the carbonara and my wife had the penne vodka.

This place my friend Emil took me to . Its reminds me of my great grandmas house ! The salad was fresh and the chicken franchise was cooked to perfection. The chicken parm with fries on the side was so delicious and good ! This place has charm ! The owner and server was extremely friendly. The food is beyond fresh ! I cant wait to go back soon . I even took a chicken dinner to go home with !

Very delicious slice of pizza, 🍕 the manager was very friendly and so were the workers. Next time I'll try there Grandma's slice.

Came in alone on a hot afternoon in Astoria and was craving for some pasta and this is the first place I saw. I got a Fettucine Alfredo and was also given some bread to pair with the pasta. The dish itself was very warm, filling, and creamy - the pasta was cooked to perfection. The location is it’s possible downside because there are limited seats in a cramped space - which could make one’s experience unpleasant. Overall, I’d go to the place again to try out the other pasta dishes.

Stopped by for a quick slice since the place has been open for a while . $6,50 for a grandma slice and nothing special about it blend tomato sauce , no balance and salty plus attitude from the guy at the counter !!!!. Cheers .

I’ve ordered a regular pizza pie from there it was too Doughy and it was lacking flavor the sauce and cheese was below average And I’ve walked into the pizzeria a few times and I feel uncomfortable there because the owner always gives me a dirty look like I don’t even belong there very unwelcoming. Basically always stares at me with a strange face And one time my brother walked into the pizzeria and ordered a few slices and when he received his change back the owner tossed his quarters/change back at him so rudely. I highly do not recommend this pizzeria 0/5

I have to give them a very low rating this time. I’ve been to Gaudio’s countless times over the years and the food was so good. But tonight, Christmas Eve 2024, I ordered fried calamari, a dozen baked clams oreganata and zuppa di mussels… First red flag, the man that took my order over the phone rushed me and then blurted under his breath as he hung up the phone “$30, $50, gimme 30 minutes” and hung up. He didn’t say thank you, nothing. The food got to me in 20 minutes. I had to rush walking my dogs to get to the delivery man. I sat down, food in front of me. It looked so good! After a minute or so I said “what is that smell??” The mussels smelled like they were cooked in toilet water or something. The strangest smell. They tasted ok, just bearable. I tried the calamari. The absolute worst fried calamari I ever had!!!! Soggy, cold, I couldn’t eat a second piece I was so disgusted. Thankfully, the clams oreganata were good. But the calamari and the mussels were a complete fail. 1 out of 10. What a disappointment. I was really looking forward to everything, now I’m just eating a loaf of French bread they gave me with the order.
