The Margarita pizza is simply the best pizza in the world! Really, it is a must. I recommend ordering a whole pizza and sharing it onsite. The Sicilian is excellent also and fresh slices are always available. The cheese is fresh, sauce is generous, and owners make it with "love" : ) Its all they do....pizza! Must try!

Super good food and the staff was nice and quick. Also was easy to pick out a pizza to eat because of the simplicity of the pizza display, you can see price, name, and the pizza itself.

Amazing old school pizza joint in bayside. Great staff and food

I’ve eaten at many pizzerias around LI and Manhattan. I’d put this place in the top 5 and having one of the best margaritas. City pizza is not better than LI, to each their own though . I will definitely be coming back.

Old school pizzeria set up. Wonderful service. Amazing Sicilian slice and at a great price. Old school hidden gem wish I had a place like this back home. Eastern long island. Will definitely be back when in the area.

This pizzeria has been serving up the best regular and specialty pies since for as long as I can remember. The customer service is always most welcoming and makes you feel like your part of a food family. My personal recommendations are the chicken bacon ranch, buffalo chicken, regular cheese slice, or any of their selections of grandma style or sicilian slices. Not to mention their fountain sodas are great, the ice is pretty unique and a likable quality! Well, that’s my review! Go visit them! Get a couple of their slices, or heck, get a pie, you surely won’t regret it. They have that great classic NEW YORK pizza taste. Oh, and the garlic knots are to die for…

This is my favorite pizza spot so far. It is on beautiful Belle Boulevard, has an amazing atmosphere with a bathroom, and great pizza by the slice with specialty options.

I believe their Sicilian slice is the best. The workers are nice there.

Been here several times and will continue coming back. I love their pizza and chicken rolls. Shout out to Anthony! Great conversation and super friendly. Overall great food, clean, friendly staff.

The pizza is AMAZING! Buttery dough, light and fluffy. Not over priced at all. The upside down pizza is amazing just as their sicilian and spicy chicken pizza. Garlic knots are fluffy and actually taste like garlic knots, not bread with a tiny bit of flavoring like other pizzerias. Definitely a must go to place. Would absolutely recommend it all over again

They have the Best Pizza ever. Used to go there when my daughter Sarah was young. They never skimp on cheese. Every mouth watering bite the mozzarella cheese stretches. So ,so, so flavorful I have to stop thinking about it since I do not live in New York anymore. I only hope I can enjoy a VIP pizza before I leave this Earth.

Fantastic neighborhood spot. Pizza is delicious and the service is excellent. Pete and the guys will take good care of you. My dad used to take me here as a young kid growing up in bayside, and now I come here 25 years later as an adult living in the area. Memories for generations

Years ago I forgot my wallet and they let me eat and leave without paying. Did comeback with the bill + tip but I am very 🙏 grateful. Upside down slice is a must.

I've been a V.I. customer for 45 years! The service is friendly and fast. The Sicilian is the best in Queens The owner...Luigi? He is one of the nicest people.

The pizza crust is delicious I ate 3 different kinds of pizza and all of them were delicious 👍👍 Part 2 I just had their sausage roll! I work part time as a pizza delivery driver and that's definitely high on my list of the best ones iv had. Perfect balance of cheese to sausage ratio.

What can I say, this place is still serving that perfect authentic slice of NYC pizza. This place has been around forever, I try to stop by and grab a slice anytime I'm craving pizza because it's just so worth it. It's still has that old school pizza shop feeling, so it's also ideal to sit and just eat it there as well. The flavors are consistent and the price is superb ranging from $3 for a regular slice. If you're in the neighborhood, you def wanna stop here and grab a slice!

One of the best slices in town. Crust is always on point. Crispy on the bottom every time without getting burnt.

Been coming here since I've been in elementary school and the pizza quality has always stayed at its peak. Amazing Sicilian slices and love their pepperoni slices too.

One of the best pizza in Bayside queen, prime location on Bell Blvd and 43av. Family friendly establishment and the staff. My favorite pizza is the Chicken buffalo, but as well is the classic regular cheese slice. Love the garlic knots too. Easy parking.

Great pizza for decades. Try the sicilian slice!

The sweetest staff, they were so patient while I was looking through the selection of slices. Sicilian was obviously a must and it did NOT disappoint. I wish I got two slices of it instead of one! Hawaiian was decent good, but wouldn't get it again. I'd rather an extra Sicilian slice. Well worth the price!

Small slice for $3, but good taste. Very good sauce, good amount of cheese with good coverage Thin, chewy/crispy crust with a good flavor. Rating this one at 94; subtracting points for size.

I have lived in NY my entire life. My passion for pizza is top notch. I have tried pizza from all 5 borrows. I consider VI to be in my top 3 slices city wide. Which means top world wide. Highly recommend taking time to give this place a shot. You won't be disappointed I promise you. Better than most. I grew up in Bayside but I go out of my way to stop in. Thanks for your time to listen.

Amazing little pizza place. So tasty, authentic and very reasonably priced! We will definitely return here soon!

great Sicilian pizza right in Bayside on Bell Blvd. Just the around amount of sauce and cheese. The dough is not too thick and perfect! They also have all type of slices with different toppings. There is a parking in the back so don't have to pay the street parking meters.

First place we went to from the airport. Love everything about it. Great food, service, and atmosphere! This place is a must!

The pizza is very good here. I like the atmosphere with all kinds of photos from New York sport teams on the wall. The service is fast and friendly.

This is the best pizza, ever! They hooked it up and packed my grandma pie up for a long distance trip. Really took the time to ensure that the pizza would travel well and be as delicious half way across the country. Thanks for being a Bayside staple and all around awesome guys :)

atmosphere, hey its a pizza place. the best Sicilian slice anywhere without a doubt. prices fair these days. The guys behind the counter are always friendly and makes you feel like your taken care of.

Friday August 1st we took out a Sicilian pie from VI Pizza in Bayside. Tasted just as good as when I used to live in Bayside 30 years ago.!!!

Gr8 spot to grab a slice. Great undercarriage and fresh ingredients. Highly Recommended!

Came here yesterday to get their Upside Down Pizza with a topping of mushrooms. It was still bubbling hot when I got it home. The pizza cheese was soft, delightfully saucy, while the crust was crunchy and full of life.

First pizza place I've tried in Bayside. I chose this place because it has the most ratings/review on Google. It didn't disappoint. I got the upside down and buffalo slice. They were both very good. They were chewy but crispy and had good flavor all the way to the crust. I planned to eat just half of each pizza and save the rest for later but ended up eating them all. Weirdly, I didn't feel gross or bloated like I did when I eat more than one pizza from other places. Definitely will get pizza from here again.

This is my favorite pizzeria. We usually order half plain, half pepperoni with ham.

Look, it's a pizza place, it's Bayside. If you need a good piece of pizza, go here. My dog and I went each of us had two slices.We were very happy

I only had the Sicilian slice. It was delicious. I would love to try a regular slice, I was just too full. Their Sicilian slice is cheesy and doughy perfection.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Thats what I have to say about this place. Some of the beat pizza I’ve ever had. Workers are very kind and helpful. Service is incredibly fast. Takes like 3-5 minutes to get a slice after ordering. Every time the worker gives me my change back, I throw it right into the tip jar. It might just be because I’m a sucker for upside down slices, but their upside down is hands down the best I’ve had. Same as the sicilian. I don’t know why but square shaped pizzas just hit me a different way, but VI is on its own level. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Bayside area.

Great pies all around, not just their Sicilian.

Fantastic. There’s nothing more you can ask for in an authentic nyc pizzeria. These guys do everything right, the ingredients are fresh and the vibes are friendly. Grandma slice is a must try and so is the upside down slice.

Simply the best pizza you can get. The staff is fantastic and every single thing is super fresh. They have affordable deals aswell that I really enjoy. Definitely ill agree this pizzeria is a local gem 💎

Just had an amazing Margherita pizza! The crust was perfectly crispy. You guys should definitely try it.

I had never been here before, I was waiting for a class to start and as soon as I walked in and saw the orange benches and all the baseball memorabilia, I knew the pizza was going to be good. And it was! But that's not why I'm here. I sat in this pizza shop watching every single person who walked into that shop Greet the guys behind the counter with so much enthusiasm, love, and appreciation. The guys behind the counter were talking to customers who are sitting at the tables, everyone asking " how are the kids?" Sharing tales and stories about their houses. There was even a mother and child who walked in, the kid wanted some kind of pizza that they were out of and the guy behind the counter was trying to figure out how to make this kids chicken pizza dream come true lol . Then, a woman walked in with so much enthusiasm to the guys and vice versa and she wrote a poem for one of them. She ended up reading the poem and everyone behind the counter stayed quiet. Gave her their full attention, they even asked the people around the counter if they wanted to listen... Everyone stayed quiet and listened. Then we all applauded. WHAT THE HECK KIND OF MAGICAL MOMENT LOL DID I EXPERIENCE? I ended up leaving the pizza shop feeling so full of love. That's what you get when you care about your community. Eventually I left the shop almost at the exact same time as the poet and I shared my experience with her. Her name is Jessica Lou And she also wrote a book of poetry. The video is the moment she was reading her poetry.

Very good pizza, like how it used to be growing up here in NYC decades ago. Quality is consistent and excellent! Deserves 10 stars!

Donna Choe

Amazing, quality pizza. Classic ny slices. Aside from the delicious pizza, the service is incredible. The tall, slim build guy (might be owner?) is incredibly kind and patience, even when customers don’t show the same back. A local favorite for the food and service.

Michael Galicia

The slices may have gotten smaller over the years, but the taste and quality can not be matched. Best Sicilian slice in the biz!

Joe Faraldo

This place has been on my bucket list for years. Everyone I know who has eaten there has great things to say about their food. They all recommend the Sicilian slice but rave about everything. Today I had the opportunity to stop by and I was impressed beyond belief. Had two slices of Sicilian and a Sicilian pie to go. Outstanding! Look at these pictures…….needless to say, I’ll be going out of my way to get their pizza from now on. Only a select few pizzerias hold that kind of status in my book, which really says a lot.

The Review Guru*

A nice nostalgia feel about the Pizzeria I was in this evening. I have tasted a lot of Sicilian pizza but nothing like this. Call them "RAGU" because it is definitely in the sauce and it was delicious. Nice amount of seating on a cold night. The pizza hit the spot, and it was darn good. His and hers bathroom on the premises. Parking is FREE after 7pm. So feed the meters if you get there earlier. After Pizza I then went to Martha's Bakery for cake and coffee near the Long Island Railroad. I actually wrote a review on that spot. The Review Guru* Long Island NY

Jason Rueda

Ridiculously delicious and has so much flavor. Love the true NY style pizza and atmosphere. Very friendly as well.

Don Lui

Margarita with pepperoni! One of the best pizza around town. I would argue this place is as good as any top pizza joint in Manhattan. Give it a shot

Alan Glassman

Started eating their Sicilian pizza back in the 70s when I lived in Bayside. Whenever I am in the area I stop for more. It's still as good as it was years ago although the faces and decor have changed. Can't wait for next visit

Daphne C

Goood NYC pizza!! Their Sicilian slices are the most popular, but you could never go wrong with a simple plain slice. I highly recommend eating there at the pizzeria- it tastes the best right out of the oven!

Paul N

On our way to see Tool , we stopped for a few slices and we were not disappointed. Staff welcomed some new faces with delicious pizza. We just went with regular slices, they have so much more than that. Definitely check out VIP Pizza.

George Panagopoulos at Douglas Elliman Realestate

Great neighboorhood pizzaria! The pizzas are excellent my favorites are the grandma, regular and spicy chicken. My parents used me bring home pizza since I was a kid and now I am bringing to my kids. I would rate the grandma an 8.0 and the regular slice a 7.5. I love the NY sports memorabilia that they have displayed all around the store.

Thank you so much for being open during these hard times for everyone. 😊🌼🤗🤗 They have great pizza and awesome customer service. They had all sorts of slices available from vegetarian to meat lovers Pizza. I have always been a pizza and pasta lover!!! 😍😍😍The sauce and the cheese is very important to the pizza as is the breading the breading was into thick or too thin it was just right. It was juicy enough to make your mouth salivate Plaza broken but not enough to have oil dripping all over your clothing or table. They also had all of these amazing pictures all over their walls. Someone even signed by famous people. I'm not much into baseball, but they seem to definitely be into it and they have also been publicized and many news articles throughout the years. So even if the food was mediocre It would all totally be made up with their wonderful customer service. It's almost like a museum one could literally spend all day reading the pictures on the wall. 🤩😎🤩 I took a picture of as much as I could including making some videos, but I don't like to make the restaurants or the people in the location feel like I'm invading their privacy or like I'm just being some creepy person.😅 I do it all with the sole intent to help people with making their decisions about where to eat or places to go. I look for safety and cleansing those. Those are my top priorities. So if you're in the area great place for a nice slice of pizza. And more!!!🤗🤗😊

Great pizza. My mother, father and all my grandparents ate here as kids. I did as a kid. They put DiMagios across the street outta business! Food - A+

Friendly staff,Good prices,Specialty Food really good...Regular slices are ok..(I have had better) Delivery available!

The employee at this pizza place answered my call in a completely disinterested and unwilling manner when I tried to place an order. There wasn’t a hint of kindness or attentiveness in his voice. At least the pizza was good—that’s a relief. The person answering the phone probably needs a vacation to clear his head.

Classic pizza joint with great flavor my favorite slice is there margarita

Me and the kids love the pizza here; perfect ratio of crust, sauce and cheese. The crust tastes great, my daughter ate it even though she normally leaves the crust. Margarita pizza is awesome. The serving size for the corona icies are big too. The food is a bit expensive though in my opinion.

Very good upside down slice def worth coming back just for that the regular sicilian wasnt as good but still a solid slice cant wait to go back to get the upside down tho

Excellent pizza, consistent with their crust, toppings, and flavor. Not much to complain about. They are open until 11 PM which is great. Their pizzas are made from scratch and tastes fresh. They dont skimp on the toppings either. I wish they would have other crusts however, such as whole wheat or cauliflower crusts.

Ate here for the first time last week. Place was busy around 4ish. Had two slices, Sicilian and Pepperoni. Pepperoni had a strong oil game going on. Sicilian was actually pretty nice. I’d give 3.75 but rounding up to 4 on this

Great little pizza place on bell. Clean, staff was nice, pizza was tasty. I was pleasantly surprised to see the eco straws too. Keep it up Vi

Classic corner pizza spot decorated with NY baseball memorabilia. Ask for a fresh Sicilian right out of the oven or the chicken bacon ranch.

Layout/atmosphere *Corner location; tables inside; Yankees & Mets memorabilia on wall; a TV Service *Good Food/drink *Regular square - Good *Upside Down square - very good

They've been here for many years. Decent place to grab a quick bite. The tomatoes sauce they use will have a familiar sweet NYC taste. Can't go wrong with the classic slice or the chicken ranch. Their garlic knots are buttery and nicely toasted.

Really great old-school neighborhood pizzeria. Fast friendly service from the guys behind the counter and a nice selection of good quality pizza! What more could you ask for? Chefs kiss. 😘 🫶

Decent prices, great costumer service, family environment, or just grab and go slice kind of a place. Pizzas don't look as fresh as they taste but they could improve with fresher ingredients.

Edmond P

The pizza was ok, beyond ordinary but not excellent yet , price is reasonable and the counter man was polite. Recommend.

I don’t know if this was a fluke, but I just ate the driest chicken roll from here. The pizzas look good on display though. But the chicken roll was so dry. The tips of the chicken roll was impossible to chew. The chicken was so dry it was shiny and brown. All the sauce in the world couldn’t save that thing. Maybe I got an old batch?

I placed an order online for a large pie and garlic knots and selected curbside pickup because it was an option and I'd rather limit my exposure. I first receive a text that says the order will be ready in roughly 15-20 minutes, then another a couple minutes later saying we're busier than expected, this is your new estimated time, roughly 20-30 minutes. About 10 minutes later, I get a text saying the food is ready. I get to the place, park at the curb directly outside the building, and follow the directions in the order confirmation which says to call when I'm outside. I call. An older man picks up, I can confirm that because I can see directly into the store. I tell the man I'm outside. He confirms it's ready, asks can I come in. I reiterate that I selected curbside because I'd rather not. He tells me to give him a few minutes. I watch through the window as the store empties, and there are no customers at least two times. I was outside for 10 minutes waiting as 4 employees were standing around, waiting for customers to come. Still no one brings my food, I grow impatient and go in. I tell them I'm watching as the store empties, my car is right outside. "You told me it was ready. This is my first time coming here and not only did you not honor the curbside, you still aren't coming." Long story sure, his reasoning for not coming out is the garlic knots weren't ready 😒 and the curbside isn't supposed to be there anymore because the pandemic is over. I said, why didn't you remove it then? No response. I finally get the food and leave. So here is my review of the food. Garlic knots were somewhat hard and oily was hell. GOT NO marinara sauce. Pizza had classic taste but the dough was too tough. Should not have to become a pitbull to make a clean break

The place makes great food but it's relatively expensive compared to what other pizza places charge. They have a $10 credit card minimum, which makes it impossible to charge your lunch unless if you are really really hungry. There is an Italian Greek Place three blocks north that serves great food and has a $5 minimum which is perfect for lunch time.. That's where I ate today, and it was delicious!

Old school pizza parlor which you don't see much of. Good square slice and the upside down slice is recommended. Delicious sauce Seriously, ranch (or was it blue cheese ?) on the spicy chicken slice. That's sacrilegious all around. Definitely a must go to.

Jesse Yuan

Good local pizza with nice crust with good sauce to cheese ratio. Sausage roll was delish with an abundance of sausage, matter of fact too much and I had to remove some. Little more peppers and onions would balance it out better. Would have given an additional star, however service behind the counter is unorganized and I had to repeat my order 3 times leading to a 15 minute wait to just to heat 3 slices and a sausage roll. Definitely a budget place to eat in Bayside area especially on Bell Blvd but not a pizzeria I’d go out of my way for.

+5

Pizza is pretty decent. Very disappointed with one of the workers attitude. The tall Italian guy was very rude to me. Did not greet me at all and when I asked for a to go box for my extra slice of pizza, he looked annoyed and threw the pizza box at the table. Extremely unprofessional and I’m disappointed because they are usually nice here but I suppose he was having a bad day, which still doesn’t make his attitude okay.

My first time here, i ordered a Hawaiian slice and a beef patty. Pizza had no sauce, i was eating bakked dough with cheese, pineapple and ham. It was stiff, my jaw hurts just chewing. Beef patty have no taste, like they just stuff a crust with some left over grind up meat that didn't even taste like beef.

Rude kid in glasses with mustache gave me a stink-eye expression, everytime I ask to get me paper plates and red pepper & a different time when I asked about the menu regarding future/precise-timed orders.

Wasn't very friendly staff. Pizza sauce was small and didn't have much taste. We know good pizza so I gave it a 2 out of 4 stars. Also not a big variety by the slice. 4 plain with 2 drinks water amd a soda was $27.00. Not worth the money or the calories in my opinion

Nick Dietmann

Ain’t what it used to be. Been Eat there my whole life. Sicilian wasn’t good. Also ordered ahead of time and didn’t put it in until I walking in the door. I’m going to Graciela next time.

Sunny P

Decent experience. Not worth $6 a slice. These prices are ridiculous and the quality is not there. Ordered the Margherita Pizza slice and garlic knots along with a chicken knot or something my friend ordered. Didnt find the taste of either the garlic knots or the pizza to be appealing. Cost $23 cash for two medium sodas, one margerita slice, one chicken bun sandwich or something. Too much. The atmosphere was decent. Just a regular pizza joint. Nothing fancy. Nothing spectacular either.

+3

The pizza is great. However I got pizza one time and the person in the front literally coughed on his hand and continue to touch the pizza and serve to customers. That’s a big NO. I already paid for the 3 slices but once I got out I threw it out. He was also handling the money and keep touching the pizza

This place is racist and disrespectful. My daughter had a dental procedure done. She went to the pizzeria to order a pie of pizza. She couldn’t talk proper due to the anesthesia and when she was making her order, they were making fun of her in Spanish, thinking that she wasn’t Hispanic my daughter has a dark skin complexion, when she wants to pay she asked him if they accept Apple Pay. The guy comes out and ask her. Are you gonna pay us with apples? Dont Go there and a pizza is disgusting. Imagine how they treat the disabled here and discriminate amongst other races other than hispanics. Disgusting environment

I really like the pizza and the atmosphere of this place but last night one of the workers prioritized cleaning the table and literally pressured the table as I was eating. I know you want to leave early and get your work done asap but could be a little bit polite.

I walked in for a take-out and was told to wait for 15-20mins and later after 25 mins when I went asking for my pizza, I was told 15 mins more! After running a restaurant for years, you should have enough understanding of time and sticking to commitments you make. I walked out with my kids hungry and a remote online meeting that I got late by 15 mins!

the place is clean I like it but there is a problem with the food and I ordered a piece of egplen pizza it was good and a spinach roll looked good but when I started to eat it I didn't like it it has no flavor they just washed it with the spinach and a little cheese

It’s been a while since I ate a slice here. Sadly it wasn’t how I remembered. The pizza was not good at all! The Sicilian was very cheesy with almost no sauce. The problem was that it had no flavor! No spice in the sauce. The cheese tasted low fat. I took a few bites and ended up throwing it away because it was not worth the splurge in calories.

VI Pizza Bayside is rude to Asian customers. They don’t treat all their customers the same way.

Imani

I really wanted to give this more stars for the actual service and speed since they were quick and kind but I can’t. The pizza is overpriced so you are expected a thicker or at least higher quality ingredients in the pizza. But it had an odd semi burnt taste kinda like they brunt the crust the taste was definitely off,not to mention it’s already ridiculously thin crust. Also the margarita pizza specifically had a certain cheese that basically tastes low fat and wasn’t even fully melted the sauce has absolutely no seasoning.For five dollars i was very disappointed it was basically charred cardboard with cheap cheese and tomato sauce straight out the jar.The cherry on top was the random stuff burnt onto the bottom side of my pizza (like burnt paper and other debris that probably sit on the bottom of the pan or oven they use).

Jimmy K

Had some chicken slice god it was awful tasted like it’s been sitting around all day. The pepperoni calzone should be called a cheese calzone instead I counted 4 small slices of pepperoni in it.. place is also very expensive and has no quality control.
