I love eating at A1 Pizzeria 🍕 Charlie is the best owner and they all make my Gyro the best to eat in the world there’s no place like A1 Pizzeria 🍕%100
Great place for delivery. A long standing LES favorite. Slices to go are doughy but delicious
This is a neighborhood staple one of the best pizzas out of NYC 23$ pie large with pepperoni 🍕 best tasting as well
This is a typical Stop and Shop Fast Food Pizzeria where you find all types of foods. Regardless, this Hole in a Wall has the most tastiest and richest Brooklyn Style Pizza that you can find!!! And it's also a Steal in Price: Large Cheese Pie only $16!!!
I have been going to A1 AKA Charlie's for over 35 years. My favorite pizza in the L.E.S. Nothing fancy, just good fast food.
This place is a hidden gem. Been going here my whole life and I’ve always received good service and quality food. The prices are great too! Keep up the good work, Charlie!
As a real New Yorker who has grown up on LES, this pizza is legit. No hipsters, slinging the dough. Just REAL NYC PIZZA! “Yo Sao, put some extra muzarella on that muther…..”
Been in the neighborhood over 30 years, they know their customers delivery is quick, the best they make you feel welcomed like family
Next to Best Pizza in Brooklyn, this the best pizza in the city for me. I travel far for a slice here and that's okay. They raised the price that's okay. Make that money. Better than Ceres by far, at least this pizza doesn't crumble like a cracker.

((3.5 stars)) a casual neighborhood pizza shop offering a menu pizza and a variety of other comfort eats. a divey feeling pizzeria showing its decades in age and been serving locals, accordingly. decent amount of seating like the old school benches and tables for a quick lunch or dinner. and there’s a cash machine if you need $s. the pizza, here, is not my favorite but it is a solidly good when you’re hungry bc everyone has their pizza preference and i enjoyed my slice for what is is not what it is not. the pizza is a New York style with a regular soft crust (as opposed to a firmer thinner crust), but there is a good amount of cheese blanketing the slice and a layer of sauce that’s on the sweeter side imo. the slice seems to be the preference of this area of the LES bc it was fairly busy on a lazy afternoon, post-run. the menu is fairly big almost diner-like as you can get burgers, fries, mozzarella sticks, sandwiches, wings, & more. it is a neighborhood spot as it is t open late and really is a place doing the heavy lifting of serving residents on the daily. the staff are nice and put my pizza in for extra time bc i wanted it extra hot. will definitely be back for some fries and chicken fingers!
There aren't many pizzas on this side of the neighborhood, but A-1 Pizza will do the job when you are craving pizza. This is a great place if you like to order pizza to-go when relaxing at Corlears park. The staff is friendly, they have seating, and a good selection of pizzas to choose from. We ordered their cheese pizza. It has a thin crust, tasty, a bit on the salty side but has a wonderful amount of cheese which is possibly why it was on the salty side. Overall, good pizza place at a decent price.

We got a quick bite today afternoon. We got good vegetarian options. Price was very nominal.
This Place is one of my favorites. It has been a while since I last eaten here. I took my granddaughter w/me to get our favorite Pizza. A-1 Pizza 🍕 Shop has been my place of remedy since my childhood day's and my granddaughter have the privilege to enjoy this moment w/her Grandpa. Smiling...☺️ L.E.S is the place to go and enjoy A-1 Pizza.

Can someone tell me what kind of sausage is on this pizza? It looks and taste disgusting. Now I gave them 3 stars because some of their food is not bad but never again will I buy pizza from them. I also had a beef patty with coco bread and a bottle of seltzer, this came up to $27 for some reason 🤦🏽♂️
The guy who works there is nice but I didn't like my Italian ice. I like the dude on the corner better. But that's a personal preference.
Phone etiquette could use a training course.

I places my order at 6.02pm my delivery showed up at 7:10pm. I ask the the delivery person i called over an hour. He told me impossible. Who waits for nearly a 1 1/2 for a cheese pie. Never again. Then you call the phone and it goes straight to voice mail. Worse service ever.
