Why did this pizza despising lactose intolerant Yelp reviewer step inside a Pizza shop? For pasta. Lenny's Pizza is the first pasta shop to show up on the radar located in the awkward 6 way cross street of Greenpoint and 44th. By far the best pasta I have discovered in Queens.
As soon as I entered, the cashier warmly greeted me and directed me to the menus against the wall. The menu is quite extensive with variety of pizza's, pastas, and Italian food, quite overwhelming at first glace.
I ordered a small (large available) linguine with clams in white sauce, my favorite of pastas. The cashier asked me to sit anywhere I'd like and after 5 minutes, delivered the food directly to me. This place is not fast food nor a restaurant, but provides fantastic service!
The linguine with clams was elegantly presented with fine linguine in the center sprinkled with sliced clam bites and six little neck clams surrounding the perimeter of the dish all emerged in white clam sauce blended in olive oil. Also served was two pieces of freshly baked garlic bread and one soft bun.

What I love about Lenny's is their dishes. The Chicken Frances is amazing, as is their Spinach Egg white soup (they call it something else). Highly recommended as well: Steamed Broccoli, Anything the make with Egg Plant.
Service is also amazing. I have had no issues with every order...
Read moreCan't give 0 stars but they deserve it. The manager is the awful and disrespectful guy I've ever met. I was with my child and ordered to go. Last minute my daughter wanted to seat 'cause was tired, and he did not let us do it. Using such a prepotency and rude way to speak not only to me but my daughter and friends. Such a shame that immigrants like him(I'm also a grateful immigrant) do not learn from American culture which an example in the world to treat others with respect and love. I do not recommend this place to anyone, specially with kids. The manager who should be example is the shame of his own business. I do not know food quality, after pay and that horrible moment I gave back the food and take my money for a...
