Nice food

The gnocchi tomato and burrata with the garlic knot was delicious

Wow!! Best fresh pasta! Reminded me of Rome

Great food and great price!

Great vibe. Great Za. Don’t know what it’s called, but the dude hooked me up with an old fashioned pepperoni with spicy honey and a big ‘ol chuck of Mozz on top. Complete with a basil leaf. Do yourself a favor and visit Papi.

The pasta was delicious, the prices were very reasonable, the portions were generous, and the staff was incredibly friendly. I would definitely come back to this place!

Very nice people and very good pizza!

My sister and I had a delicious late night meal the other night. The food was delicious and the service very friendly. We will definitely be back!

Work in the area and we’re blown away with house delicious and fresh out new favorite spot and Axel was amazing ! Made the experience great

Fast, cheap, delicious. Saved my marriage.

Pasta super delicious. Great portion, speedy service. Pizza also amazing. Can only recommend

Omg i reaaly love this place! They have amazing pizza, for me its a best in NY

6/22/2025 Danielle Carter Queens, NY I was in your restaurant yesterday around 330pm. Upon simply entering this establishment I was warmly and with a smile, greeted by a young man with a short but not shoulder length hair gentleman. I ordered a chicken Alfredo and shrimp Alfredo along with 2 sodas. Let me begin by saying the pasta was aldente the creamy flavor of the sauce which was perfectly thick enough but not too thick or even worse watery. It clang to the pasta perfectly and seasoned to perfection for my desires today. Upon leaving your establishment the same gentleman that so warmly greeted me when I arrived so warmly gave me such fond and warm departure times. It was nice to experience in a place where people can be very cold and unfriendly. I will be visiting this place again. I noticed your installing a wine bar so maybe myself and.a fdw of my friends will come in to have a wine tasting or maybe you'll have a DJ spinning records on the 1's and 2's or even a few live entertainers some weekend nights.

Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, and a great night. Would recommend to everyone

Really good pasta! Worth a visit!

Food and service was great. Value for money incredible 👌

Visited on the way from seventh street burger. Get it the Axel way! Four cheese sub gargonzola with bacon. Vegetable lasagna was gas but neeed to try in red sauce or vodka.

The most amazing Alfredo sauce I’ve ever had! Garlic knots irresistible! The marinara is heavenly, and the service was top notch!

Quick service great atmosphere... And a free drink if you leave a review!

Nice service, cool atmosphere, yummy pizzas!!!

enjoyed the pasta i got here a lot, i would come here again.

I already miss this place!! We tried a few different ones on our NYC trip, and this was my favorite. Great service, phenomenal pizza. Probably a good thing I don't actually live next door! 😅

GREAT PIZZA! Fresh and delicious. My favorite here in time square

It was a great experience coming here after having a few drinks i was able to enjoy some freshly made pizza. not greasy not cheesy, just right. the owner was super polite.

Pizza Pizza near Macy's. Ingredients fresh from Italy. Fresh dough. Not a cheap place, but worth the money for the quality you pay. Will come back.

the staff was so nice and the food was absolutely so incredible!!!! i had a great time visiting and i would so come again :)

Great price for great food. Perfect if you want some good pasta or pizza and want it served quickly.

Migeuelito is the best!! Super yummy pizza, super awesome customer service. Great for my first pizza in NYC, will definitely be back!!

Great service and great food for a quick sit down bite, definitely worth trying if in the area

Good quick spot for pizza and pasta.. and a bottled beer or soda

In NY for the first time. Waiting to take a tour and seen this place. Wasn’t expecting a whole lot, just wanted a beer n a slice. I got the Sicilian Spicy pep. It was delicious!! Wife enjoyed it also. So many pizza spots in NY !!

Had a problem with the lasagna I ordered and they got me a replacement. The spaghetti and meatballs was delicious and their pasta is hearty and well made. The service was great, they are very hospitable!

Murat Doğancı

While touring the city, I stopped by for a quick bite and tried their chicken pizza. The concept and atmosphere were nice, but I didn’t really like the food in terms of taste. Still, it’s acceptable for a quick snack on the go.

Gerald Johnson Sr.

I stopped in for a rectangle slice of pizza and it was really good. It exceeded my expectations. The crust was perfect, the flavor was spot on and it was one of those slices that hits the spot right away. Great service, great energy and great food. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the area.

becky hedgcock

Monique Bonanno

DELICIOUS PIZZA & super friendly staff . As soon as we walked by and smelled the NY Pizza shop aroma we knew we had to stop and so glad we did. Starting the business trip off right! To the pizza makers working 11/15 around 10:30p deserve praise for the customer service! Thanks Papi! I got the grandma vodka slice 10/10

Hands down some of the best pizza I’ve had in a long time. The crust was perfectly baked, the sauce had just the right amount of tang, and the toppings were super fresh. You can taste the love in every bite. Shoutout to Axel at the counter—he made the whole experience even better. Friendly, fast, and knew the menu like the back of his hand. He helped us pick the perfect combo and made us feel right at home. Amazing food and top-notch service—can’t wait to come back!

Before we could even walk in. The great smell lore us in! Walking through the door was a pleasant surprise! Food spread out and looked delicious! Axel was jamming to great music and awesome service! He recommends the genochi pasta! Gonna have to come back some day.

Food was good but the air was not working and it was a hot and sweaty day

Cacio e Pepe is pretty good, other food is not. The AC and the bathrooms were both not working which was miserable.

We ordered the Bolognese pasta and the meatball. The Bolognese was very flavorful, and the tagliatelle was cooked al dente. As for the meatball I thought it was plain.

Food was tasty. So many options to choose from. My pizza was burned the first time but thankfully I was given new slices.

I can go here, eat pasta and pizza every single second!!😍😍

Food was okay. Crust on pizza is stale. Ordered food for pick up on an app and they almost forgot some of my food. The people that work here are very nice. Even at one point opened the door for people. If they could improve their overall food quality it would easily be a 5 star experience.

Food value, decent quality pasta and pizza. Several tables to dine in on a cold evening.

Very nice place to get a slice of pizza with rooom to sit down.

Pizzaslice is about Ø10$ Pasta is about 15-18$ but fresh made unfortunaltely the service was a little unfriendly or not willing to give normal response to my question. All over the pizzaslice was good with plenty of cheese

The food is really good! I got the Cacio & Pepe pasta and it was actually delicious. However, person working the counter (Mar 2nd 10pm) needs a serious customer service lesson. Just awful.

James N.

Just a few block north of MSG. Speciality seems to be Sicilian style pies. Sauce is good, mini reheat oven does a good job of recrisping.

Rachael Todd

Had an amazing pizza night! Miguel, who worked behind the counter, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The pizza was fantastic and full of flavour - the crust was perfectly cooked. Definitely a spot to return to!

Andy Booth

Amazing crispy pizza one day, floppy and greasy the next. Wife had amazing pasta carbonara so overall think it’s great I just got unlucky on one day.

If you are looking for ny pizza, skip this place. It's reheated pizza with little flavour.

The food is average, a bit overpriced

Mid & slow-service If you know good NYC pizza it’s mid If you’re from out of state and a tourist it’s good

Food is great but overpriced and the staff is always in a hurry

Ordered bolognese lasagna for pickup. The lasagna was clearly box lasagna frozen from the store. It was extremely salty and not at all like fresh lasagna. $21.50 w tax.

Very mediocre, undercooked Alfredo pizza, lacking flavor

Lior Beres

The Alfredo pasta was delicious, I'm not gonna lie. But it was a tiny portion, in an entree-size cardboard box, which cost 17$ (and that was the cheapest or 2nd cheapest sauce option). That's extremely expensive in my opinion. Banana for scale

Terence Fung

The pasta itself was mostly fine, but completely overpriced. If it was at half the price, then it would have been acceptable. The service was good though, and they were very pleasant to talk to. Not much atmosphere to speak of, but it wasnt crowded at lunchtime and seating was comfortable.

Okay - this was not great. Like, I ate half of my food and threw the rest away. For $70 for two people... Super disappointed.

Had pasta alfredo. The portion was way to small and overpriced. Pasta was al dente, the sauce was ok but could be better.

Don’t get fooled by the cheese wheel and pasta on the window, this isn’t anything special. I had the Alfredo pasta with grilled chicken, small portion, severely overpriced and it wasn’t even that good, chicken tastes like nothing and the sauce was like whatever

If you work nearby and are looking for a quick lunch, would not recommend going here. Extremely slow. Should not take 30 min for pasta.

not sure if short staffed or you have an incompetent person working there. moving at a glacial pace, asked to get my order not heated since taking so long, he wen to put wrong order in box and did not comprehend when i told him three times not sure i should come back here. 6-11-25 at 1:35

$25 dollars. 17 dollar pasta 6 dollar breaded chicken, and taxes

The worst pizza I’ve ever had in nyc I rather $1 pizza than this one and even the guy at the front is so rude

Disappointed. I don t recommend the carbonara pasta, there was 3 small pieces of pancetta and the whole was dipping in a very fat and disgusting dressing. the portion was small, but I couldn’t end it due to the bad taste

The food is sooo small. The prices are so expensive. This pesto pasta was $17!! And it didnt even taste good

Absolute garbage food, tried the pizza initially when it had first opened up great food. But now this is complete garbage $6 for a slice and this is the quality of pizza

The Asian cashier the worst, no good customer service, the guys at the back were more professional and he was giving actitud, my first time at NY and I get the worst experience

This is garbage. We ordered what they called a carbonara , it was some Mac& cheese that smelled so foul that we handed it back and explained how horrible this was , and left. The pizza slice was like a store bought pizza you overheat in you oven at home. The service was a joke. AVOID

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! Never in my life have I ever experienced something like this. As I entered the door got yelled at to get in or get out when trying to join a line. Yells at me again to get to the front to order while I was deciding what to eat. As I was ordering he did not reply to my questions and rolled his eyes, no words, acting like I’m the dumbest person in the world. Waiting for my order, all of a sudden he screams my name at the top of his lungs, so loud the entire place stopped and was astonished by his attitude and rudeness. Table infront of us told us how shocked they were. Actually insane. Won’t come back because of him, and no one should have to experience that while trying to simply order a slice of pizza, stay clear out there New Yorkers.

It took 10mins for cook to come and another 15 mins to actually make it .. unnecessary wait time with unfriendly and unwelcome staff

$40 for this meal….Taste was fine. Overpriced.

Terrible Small portion, welded and had almost 6 pieces from bacon. Besides, I didn't bring the bread for that’s price

Okay so I’m standing there right by the register and I wanted to test them. No other customers were there. It literally took 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge my presence and ask me what I want to order. Secondly, the pizza is POISON!!!☠️. So toxic and didn’t even taste good! Never again.

Took forever worst pizza I’ve ever had bought 4 slices and a pasta and it was $75. Truffle gnocchi tasted like a a Parmesan ball with a hint of truffle.

The pizza is not great compared to the places around. It literally crunches when you fold it in half. & the grease is a lot. The garlic knots are hard and chewy not what they should be

Expensive pasta costs $19 and it’s not gonna taste good too. Spending extra bucks for nothing.

nice area and nice service but pizza is quite quite avarage. just regular quality pizza. and 10$ for just regular quality slice pizza. i payed 23$ for 2 slices of pizza and a bottle of water. so think of it.
