N.Y Pizzeria — Restaurant in Arlington

I had high expectations when visiting NY Pizzeria, especially with a name that claims to offer “New York-style” pizza. Unfortunately, the experience fell significantly short of that promise.

The pizza lacked flavor, particularly in the tomato sauce, which was noticeably bland. The meat toppings were extremely sparse, and the vegetables were not properly diced—rather, they were roughly chopped, which made the overall eating experience awkward and unpleasant. The crust was overly thin, to the point where the cheese would slide off with each bite, making the pizza difficult to enjoy.

While I didn’t try their sub sandwiches, which may potentially be better, the pizza alone was a major letdown. As someone who has had authentic New York-style pizza, I can say with confidence that this is not even close. It more closely resembles something you’d expect from a fast-food arcade chain, or worse, something akin to cardboard. To be honest, even CiCi’s Pizza offers a better experience—and at a lower price point.

In terms of atmosphere, while the staff were friendly and courteous, the space itself is small and quite congested. There are only one or two tables available outside, which doesn’t do much to improve the limited capacity and cramped feeling inside.

Spending nearly $18 for a 12-inch pizza of this quality felt like a waste, and I regret not heeding the reviews I had read prior to visiting. I gave it a try in hopes of being pleasantly surprised, but unfortunately, I was left disappointed and...

The quality of the food here was quite surprising, I was hungry for some good Italian and happened to stumble upon this hidden gem! The pizza was absolutely outstanding in both appearance and taste, it far exceeded my expectations. You get a lot for a little with no compromises on quality or taste, and that seems to be a quality most restaurants lack these days (especially pizza places). The second pleasant surprise was finding Stuffed Mushrooms on their menu! For those who know and love this menu item, you know that they are not a commonly served item at Italian themed restaurants around this area. I only know of one other place that serves this dish (and they were closed on the day I found this little joint), when I saw these on the menu I was curious as to whether they were the same or different than what I know as delicious Stuffed Mushrooms. When I received my food and saw that they were indeed my favorite dish that I can't seem to get enough of, I was elated and marked New York Pizzeria down as one of my go-to places for quality and straight-up delicious comfort food from now on! Thank you guys for a wonderful dinner, keep up the hard work and I promise I will keep coming back...

never order anything from this place again . the pizza was dry and burnt and tasteless . i’m from new york and for them to have the nerve to call themselves a ny pizzeria is far from the truth . maybe a dollar slice down by the subway . the owners son is so rude and un helpful . says he poured his heart and soul into making the pizza. what a joke . says it’s a family run business and has no knowledge of how to run a business. we ordered 3 pies and garlic bread through uber eats from there store . all 3 pies were nasty and it is now 9pm and he says he would of helped if we didn’t eat the pizza . i have 5 kids and they need to go to bed and they were hungry and by the time we ordered something else it would have been to late . i called and asked to speak to a manager several times and was denied and told there is nothing you can do . so if your looking to eat cardboard and cheap cheese from a guy who sounds like he is clearly stoned this is the worst place to go ....
