Top 10 Pizzas in Astoria

Everyone loves a good pizza pie, and with so much goodness right here in Astoria, we thought to put together this top 10 list of best pizzas, including classics and newcomers. What are some of your favorite pizza spots in Astoria?

10. Via Trenta’s Vegetariana Pizza

It’s all about the veggies in this cheese-less thin crust pie, boasting earth’s candy such as chunky eggplant, zucchini, baby artichokes and roasted peppers. 36-19 30th Avenue, Astoria. 718.545.2090

9. Antika’s Grandma Pizza

Antika is quickly becoming known for their old fashioned Grandma style square pizza. Meg is a big fan as she says  “it has a nice sauce, tasty cheese, and they make it with the little pepperoni that I like so much. And it’s one of the best pizzas I’ve eaten that reheats absolutely beautifully in a hot skillet.” 36-08 30th Avenue, Astoria. 718.545.0555

8.  Tufino’s Il Greco Pizza

For something a little unexpected, we suggest you try this spin on Greek pizza with a combination of fresh cheese, kalamata olives, oregano and  splash of lemon juice. The high quality ingredients, and the beautifully blistered crust really shine here! 36-08 Ditmars Blvd, Astoria. 718.278.4800

7.  Rose & Joe’s Sicilian Style Pizza

Astoria’s most underrated pizza comes from this old timey Italian bakery, which also serves up delicious breads and pastries. If you go all the way to the back counter, you’ll find yourself admiring their old fashioned Sicilian slices that are baked in a big, seasoned  pan and loaded with lots of cheese and homemade tomato sauce – just like nonna makes it! 22-40 31st Street, Astoria. 718.721.9422

6. Sac’s Place Plain or Grandma Pizza

With deeply seated roots  from Italy’s Abruzzo region, the Sacramone family has been feeding Astorian mouths for several decades. We like to keep it simple with their plain or the grandma slice straight from their coal oven, showcasing simple but quality ingredients such as homemade mozzarella cheese and San Marzano tomatoes. 25-41 Broadway, Astoria. 718.204.5002

5. Vesta’s Hangover Pizza 

There’s nothing like biting into this super thin crust beauty that includes all of your brunch essentials such as pancetta, sausage, potato, spicy tomato sauce and a fried egg on top. 21-02 30th Avenue, Astoria. 718.545.5550

4. Basil Brick Oven Pizza’s Basil Pizza

With no trace of red sauce, this green pizza shows off deliciously fresh ingredients such as homemade mozzarella, thin slices of oven baked rosemary potatoes and pine nuts on top of a bright  pesto sauce. You’ll love the thin delicious crust with little flecks of char on the outside. 28-17 Astoria Blvd, Astoria. 718.204.1205

3. Milkflower’s Hawaiian Pizza 

For Neapolitan pizza lovers, a visit to Milkflower is recommended, especially their non-traditional take on the Hawaiian, with ultra thin slices of pineapple, crisped prosciutto and jalapeno slivers. 34-12 31st Avenue, Astoria. 718.204.1300

2. Rizzo’s Plain Pizza

Rizzo’s plain slice is a must in our book with homemade plum tomato sauce and a blend of sharp and mild cheeses on a signature deep dish crust. Manhattanites can also get Rizzo’s on the UES and LES, but we love our location in Astoria, which has been in business for 55 years! 30-13 Steinway Street, Astoria. 718.721.9862

1. Michael Angelo’s Sophia Loren Pizza

Full of fresh ingredients such as mozz, garlic, basil and extra virgin olive oil, purists can’t go wrong with this classic pie.  We love it because it comes in a thin crust version too! 29-11 23rd Avenue, Astoria.  718.932.2096

Rizza’s Pizza (#2 on the list) doesn’t look like whats in the pic. It was pretty plain and underwhelming. #1 on the list was great.
