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
The excellent bakery pizza at Rose and Joe’s.
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
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
2. Rizzo’s Plain Pizza
1. Michael Angelo’s Sophia Loren Pizza
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.
These pizzas are not traditional NY pizza. :( These are weird/funky cool pizzas in Astoria.
