Colosseo Pizza — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

Honestly one star is being generous... I went to this pizza shop because I was badly craving a good slice of pizza, I read the reviews, which weren’t bad, (now I’m thinking they were written by family and friends) except for the fact that they only accept cash which meant my boyfriend had to stop to get cash back at the 711 before. Besides all of that I argued to go to this pizza place over the one we’ve been to before because I read the reviews and it seemed good boy was I wrong! The service was horrible we walked in no one asked if we needed help, I guess only the lady behind the counter was the only one serving but she was too busy chatting with a customer who already received their food and who clearly looked like he wanted to leave but she was determined to finish her conversation even after looking at us twice! When she finally says how you doing with a slight attitude we told her what we wanted (2 plain slices) she turns around and cuts 2 slices from a pie that was clearly not fresh and proceeds to put them in a box for us I asked if the crust was crispy she responds “yes just came out” I opened the box and the pizza was lukewarm and the crust was soggy... I asked her very politely to put the pizza back in to give it a crispy crust (what I was craving) she did it with an attitude like I asked her to make a whole new pie from scratch. When she gives us the box I didn’t even check it I just added my toppings and left and when I got in the car to eat it I was so disappointed it was soggy and falling apart, I asked my boyfriend to go to carnival so I can get the good slice of pizza I was craving all night.

Moral of the story this place is not a place to go if you’re craving a great crispy crust slice of pizza and...

This review is solely for the obnoxious behavior of the people behind the counter. I have been coming here for years. Dining in- the servers are excellent and kind. Take out? The rudest men behind the counter- tonight I ordered 70.00 worth of pizza and came in at the time I was told to pick up, they told me there was no order under my name and no order at all. Then told me my pizza wasn't ready- and the man behind the counter was extremely rude. I sat in my car and came back in 2 more times in a 30 minute period only to be dismissed and finally, was handed a pizza that was cold. I asked for cheese that they forgot and was told "you didn't order cheese." I kindly asked for a side of cheese. I then asked for Italian ices which I called about on the phone ahead of time and was rudely spoken to and told that I had to pay for a larger ice in order to take it to go and I had to pay extra for "lids." what!?!? and then another man came to stand next to the man who was clearly not helping me, with his arms crossed staring at me, witnessing the terrible treatment and said nothing. Will never return here again- take your attitudes some place else and learn how to be kinder to people who feed yourselves and...

Their Sicilian pizza is LITERALLY to die for. In other words, if you eat bread all the time, cheese too, you will have a huge gut and wind up in a coffin prematurely, but their mouth watering Sicilian pizza is so incredible, it feels worth it. If you're going to trash your health with pizza, at least have the highest standards possible and do it at Colosseo. If one pizza parlor can justify their existence within the offensively huge overabundance of pizza parlors on Long Island, it's Colosseo, because at least their pizza stands out, and is on top and the very best on Long Island, and possibly all of New York state. Just the Sicilian though. The regular I would classify as just "above average". I often wonder if the Italian family responsible for this has mob connections for the ingredients, and if they're laced with feel-good substances. I speculate opiates. The only complaint I have about this place is that it seems elitist of them how they don't deliver, don't allow most toppings (I asked for broccoli once and was shot down), don't take credit cards, etc, but they sort of earn the right to be that way. Just mainline the goods into my bloodstream and I...
