the first time i went to Manero’s Pizza— i got a plain slice—it was EXCELLENT. why? perfect blend of a Neapolitan pizza and classic New York style pizza. the outer crust is puffy airy yet has a nice chew—yet the pizza crust is also sturdy like a classic NYC life. the sauce is neither sweet nor salty—very balanced. the cheese is NYC-style blanketing the sauce and crust. the slice was served hot as all pizza should be. the second time, i came to Manero’s—the pizza was just good (not excellent). why? because the pizza was not warmed up adequately. again, serve pizza hot not warm. got a plain slice again plus a Margherita slice. both were good and satisfying. i should have sent both slice back and had them heated hot as that was the missing “wow” factor the second time i was here. so if you come here, make sure your pizza gets heated to “hot” —send it back if it is not. plain slice, $3 + tax + tip. Margherita slice, $3 + tax -+ tip.
staff just makes and serves pizza. not much convo etc. whether...

Review:
I stopped by Manero's of Mulberry for a quick bite, and their Margherita Pizza was a delightful surprise! The slice wasn't extra-large, but the thicker crust gave it a satisfying heft. The golden brown crust was a beautiful sight, and the white specks of mozzarella looked heavenly.
The deep red sauce had a tangy flavor that wasn't overpowering, like a perfectly ripe summer tomato. It paired beautifully with the milky mozzarella, which had a distinct, creamy taste. The thicker crust surprised me - it was still crispy on the bottom, with a delightful chew and airiness that balanced the richness of the toppings.
This pizza wasn't your average Margherita. Manero's Mulberry's version was a flavor and texture masterpiece! The tangy sauce, creamy mozzarella, and perfectly cooked crust left me wanting more. If you're looking for a Margherita that's both classic and elevated, this is the one!
Despite the bustling atmosphere with many patrons, the service was impressively fast. Sitting in the off-curb street enclosure, enjoying my slice and soft drink, I couldn't help but appreciate the cozy atmosphere and efficient service. Although the meal was a tad pricey, it was entirely justified by the exceptional quality I received. Manero's of Mulberry is a must-visit for anyone craving a unique...
Read moreWe dined at Manero's and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting & the decor was traditional Italian and cozy. The Margarita pizza we ordered was delicious and cooked to perfection. The crust was crispy and the tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese were flavorful.
Also, our waiter, Charley, was extremely attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. After we finished our meal and left the restaurant, Charley saved the day and found us outside the restaurant and brought us a credit card that we left behind on one of the tables.
Great Place, Prices are very very reasonable, generous portions and nice ambiance - we highly recommend checking...
