Best pizza I have had in years. Even better than that is the family atmosphere when you go in. Once you walk in you are immediately family. If you order 2 slices you are told to have a seat and someone brings your pizza over to you. When was the last time you went onto a pizzeria and someone brought you 2 slices to your table? It's not just when they are slow either, it's everytime. The second time you go the proprietor remembers who you are. Everyone in there is so friendly. It's also very laid back. The first time my wife and I went in we ordered, sat down, someone brought us our food, and then we paid. Just for a couple of slices. I place a P/U order and they got it wrong (people make mistakes, I know I do), we ate the pizza anyway it was still good. I called and the owner told me to keep the wrong order and he would have my correct order for me free of charge, of course. I declined, I had worked all day and was tired. The owner was going away for a week or so and we decided I would get my free pizza when he came back, and this was all over the phone. I never went on for it. About 2 months later my wife and I walk in and right after he said hi he looks at me and says, "I One you a pie correct? With onions and black olives," he even remember the wrong pizzas we got (my wife and I had talked about it and decided not to say anything and just let it go because we really like this place). My wife and I were shocked. Not only did he bring it up, HE remembered, we were on the phone, and it was important to him to make it right. Then on top of that he discounted some of the other food we ordered. These are just a few of the reasons we frequent, and will continue to frequent,...
Read moreBonbino's Pizzeria: A Slice of Community Kindness! As a proud parent in Oceanside, I have to take a moment to shine a spotlight on Bonbino's Pizzeria. This isn't just about delicious pizza; it's about a local business with a heart of gold that truly embodies community spirit. Recently, a group of sixth-grade graduates from Oceanside School #5, including my daughter, Aylissa, the student president, walked into Bonbino's. They were ready to celebrate their transition to middle school with some well-deserved pizza. But what happened next was truly heartwarming: the incredible Bonbino's staff refused to take their money! Instead, they insisted on treating the girls to free pizza pies and drinks as a special graduation gift. This act of unexpected generosity brought my daughter rushing home, bubbling with excitement and begging me to write this review. On behalf of all the Oceanside School #5 students who were treated to this amazing gesture, and on behalf of all the parents who heard about your incredible kindness, THANK YOU, Bonbino's staff! In a world that sometimes feels overwhelmingly cynical, your team showed our children that humanity and kindness are still very much alive and thriving in our Oceanside community. Your generosity made a significant impact on these kids, making their special day even more memorable. If you're in Oceanside and looking for fantastic pizza served with genuine warmth and community spirit, look no further than Bonbino's Pizzeria. They've earned our loyalty, and I hope they...
Read moreBonbino's is a little corner pizzeria that I've gone to for years. The pizza is excellent, but don't pass up the salads or heroes or other dishes! I'd vote it best Chicken Parm hero in Nassau, and best meatball pizza and meatballs parm in Nassau, and generous portions. The pepperoni here is better than 95% of places use, you can taste the difference. If you were to judge it only on its interior, recently updated by the way, you might mistake it for just another LI pizzeria. The owner and his family are good people and you'll find them there every day, working the counter and chatting with regulars. I live in central Nassau and will literally drive to Oceanside for the chicken Parm or meatball...
