Mela Pizza Astoria Reviews
Mela is a neighborhood mainstay. They are easily my go-to for slices, especially late at night. They can be a little tricky with hours or app ordering but their quality is worth it. I have never had negative experiences with customer service; in fact, I often have a slice or some garlic knots comped. This is some of the best pizza in Astoria.
Overall good pizza. Owner was hanging with friends made it feel like a genuine local spot
I grabbed two slices of cheese to go with a friend late on a Saturday night. The pizza was alright. The crust wasn't too dry, but the flavor of the slices were lacking without a generous helping of cheese. Still, we were able to take it directly to the N station and eat, so it is a convenient stop.
Adequate pizza, but horrible delivery. Never pay in cash, they like to round up to the nearest 1/2 dollar in their favor. I gave it an extra star since it’s near the train.
Pizza is just ok. No spices available, not even red pepper or cheese. Sodas are warm. No ice available. But pizza is good. Definitely I'll be back for the pizza & bring my own cold soda this summer
Ordered this pizza from the too good to go app (i know not the best sample size). The guy was kind of rude and the pizza wasn't the best I've had in Astoria. Also if you plan on ordering from them on the too good to go app, they were skimpy compared to other pizzerias. The front girl said to pick any 3 slices, (I guess that's usually the case) but the guy abruptly said no only two. Wasn't terrible pizza but many other places nearby that I've enjoyed more.
Extremely mid pizza . Taste like $1 slice for x4 the price. Cheese has no taste, sauce tastes jarred. Not good at all
Pizza is very hit and miss, one day it’s great, the next it tastes like a 99c pizza shop. It’s too doughy and the crust isn’t thin/crispy enough. On the classic cheese they could run the cheese closer to the crust. They can do better with such a great location I’m editing this review because I can safely say this pizza spot is finished.Dollar slice standard has reach Astoria. Cheesy doughy crap
Medicore pizza and staff communication. This has to be the worst pizza place in Astoria. Very low quality and rude staff that does not know how to communicate. If you are looking for good pizza, do not go here!
It’s a shame such s mediocre pizza place is located at such an amazing location. The pizza is unappetizing. The dough is dry and lacking flavor. And there was hardly any cheese or toppings. Overall an uninspired lifeless pizza place. It would appear they are only still in business due to their proximity to the train station.
DON'T ORDER DELIVERY! HEED THE WARNINGS! You see, this is why you read reviews before ordering pizza. I was desperate and just trusted the flyer from the Howard Johnson hotel here. I didn't Google it. I didn't Yelp it. I didn't even Bing it. I blindly called and ordered the simplest of orders: half cheese, half pepperoni. They took my credit card information and then told me it would take 40 minutes. That's too long, but I didn't question it. And then my family and I waited. And waited... and waited ... for exactly 56 minutes. So I called and canceled the order. If they don't refund my money like what some of the other reviews say, I'll have to give ol' AmEx a call.
