Il Bel Paese Pizzeria & Trattoria — Restaurant in New York

Ever since this place opened up I’ve been so happy not to have to go all the way to my old neighborhood in Williamsburg to get an actually good and not just decent/edible slice of NY style pizza. The other two places (both called Tony’s *of course lol) I have tried on two occasions each, once to try it out and the second to confirm the first time wasn’t just garbage by some random fluke. I must say, being an Italian myself (who speaks Italian and has lived In Italy for many years), these guys know what they are doing, also they are Italians themselves. Everything, from the sauce to the cheese to the dough is of the best quality, and there is literally no slice I haven’t tried at this point and I would recommend them ALL, as well as their mozzarella sticks (really good!) and their paninis as well as their soups!! Again, EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS!! Also, the place is family owned and run, you can tell they put their hearts and souls in this place and they certainly love what they are doing since they come in every day with a smile and great customer service. In conclusion, if you’re looking for a pizza place in the neighborhood/Bushwick/Ridgewood, or you’re still going to either one of those Tony’s on Knickerbocker, then do yourself a favor and look no further than Il Bel Paese Pizzeria e Trattoria :) trust me, you will NOT...

The regular cheese pizza is a 8.5 in my opinion. I got a large cheese pie for 18$ which is a steal in today's uprising economy! It was crispy, had great proportions of cheese, tomatoe sauce, and crust. Taste wise, it is VERY good in comparison to other bushwick pizzeria joints I've had. Only complaint I have is of the Hispanic cashier who had an attitude when I wanted to get clarification for the soda prices. On the menu it states a completely different price point then from what I ordered, and wished to exchange 3 cans for a 2 liter soda instead, in response he sucked his teeth at my brother which I didn't appreciate, and I tipped him as well for extra thanks. However another Hispanic or Italian man; who seemed like the owner was VERY respectful, which helped improve my perspective on the service. He was very grateful for the compliments of my high praises for his pizza, and provided attentive services. He is the sole reason for this five...

One unprofessional worker if I'm being genuine, I asked a simple question about the menu stating the price of the 2 liter soda being $3:00 and the rude workers response was " It needs to be updated" as he sucked his teeth at me. I then asked to exchange the 3 cans of sodas I already payed for but he didn't tell me the new price of the "supposed price" of the 2 liter Soda, He sighed at me as if I disrespected him, mind you this is my first time at this establishment and it wasn't even busy, Another thing was that all the tables had the same menu on it So why was the menu being used in the first place and how was I supposed to know if the menu needs to be updated ?, so was I that much of an inconvenience? For asking a simple question. So all and all I got had for a $4:50 2 liter soda. That one worker is literally ruining the business with his attitude and I'm not even kidding.

One star for the other...
