Raimo's Pizza Hicksville — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

Oh My Goodness! We stopped by this neat last little spot on our return from the Island, and we were not disappointed. We found plenty of parking, in the front and back of the building. From the moment we entered the establishment it was a win! People were dining in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the decor was authentic, the food beckoned to us, and we answered. The place was spotless! Even the bathroom was beyond clean -- we knew right then and there, that we were in for a treat! We had a large pie, chicken Parmesan with linguine, and garlic knots. Everything was tasty and delicious! The pizza outperformed the pizza in my neck-of-the-woods, the flour dough was light, but filling and the cheese was perfection! The coffee was simply splendid! You have to try the gelatos--I had the hazelnut gelato- truly appetizing, and full of real hazelnut flavor! My son had the Stracciatella, and he couldn't stop saying, mmm! The Canoli was crunchy and delicious and the service, impeccable! The prices were good too! If you are about good quality, authentic Italian food, then you have to try Raimo's in Hicksville, you will Not, be...

Hands down, the best sauce on the Island and the best eggplant and eggplant slices. Great salads too and a great, friendly staff. I drive 20 miles just for their food. It's worth the trip!

I just downgraded this review. The last two times I went to Raimo's, the sauce was not as good and for some reason, the eggplant, both on the slice and in the hero was full of hard seeds and unappetizing. I don't know if that's the result of a different type of eggplant used or a change in prep or cook but its definitely different. I hope whatever changed goes back to the way it used to be.

Well, I went back again, eggplant was back to perfection. I don't know what was wrong the last time but now it's fixed. Sauce is not quite as sweet as it used to be so we are at 4 stars. Get the sauce back and we'll be back to 5....

I got there an hour and a half before close and wanted to order a few slices of pizza. No one in the staff was friendly, or kind minus the female cashier. They all looked miserable and none were personable and couldn’t even crack a smile. They were closing up shop like they were closing in 5 minutes and I felt rushed making my order and when I did get my order, my pizza was thrown on top of each other in a much smaller box than what my order needed and some of my slices were squished together messed up as a result. My fiance’s family owns a pizza restaurant out of state and I’ve never seen such unfriendly service at a “family friendly” restaurant. I understand the grueling nature of the service industry but this soured my experience. Too bad because it is...
