Before I get into my review, with Gino's of Seaford, Calda and Undici in the area, definitely would never recommend Taglios. And if you want a sit down pizza place with drinks, Charred is second to none.
If this place was out east, maybe I'd recommend it as it's got some character, but based off the pizza alone I would never go back. This place is really just a social media trap. They've got great marketing, please don't be fooled but if you like that vibe and don't care about exceptional food maybe it's for you.
Me, my wife and our friend went here for dinner. The food was ok at best, but 6 slices of pizza and 3 sodas for $53 felt like a rip off. The mushroom slice was supposed to have truffle infused olive oil, but all I tasted was portobello mushrooms. I mean it was loaded with it so I should've known what I was getting, but I tasted no truffle and nothing else to balance the flavor. The regular slice had very good crust but was tasteless unfortunately.
Service wasn't good either, they really didn't know much about their pizza. Couldn't really tell me what was on some slices and couldn't give any worth while recommendations.
We did go to Gino's after for one more slice because we just wanted a taste of good pizza.
Adding to this due to the owners response, look how cocky the owner is. Instead of thanking people for their business and trying to grow, he thinks his shit doesn't stink. That's the saddest thing about this restaurant. I had the attitude to tell friends and family to go try it for themselves and build their own opinion, but now I'll make sure to at least cost you 20 groups of customers from friends, family, coworkers etc. And yes, I like flavor in my pizza sauce not just toppings. No I don't like sugar or oregano, but onion and garlic ain't ever hurt anyone. And if you had an issue with garlic on pizza you wouldnt keep garlic powder on the counter. Maybe put some in your sauce 👍.
By the way, Portnoy gave you a trash score because your pizza taste weird. Just wait till the social media hype dies, your pizza ain't...
Read moreOk to start I'm not professional critic, I'm your average guy and I don't review often but when I have a really good or really bad experience then I'll post. I went to this restaurant on account of hearing on news 12 the hype......that's all it was. First off you walk in the door and you feel like you're walking in a club with the bougie atmosphere but whatever I'm there to eat.....each slice is 6.25 a piece but you have quite the selection of their roman style pizzas. Now I'm someone who suffers from anxiety and when you got all these weird toppings you kinda shutdown. So I figured I will get a plain slice, the rude kid behind the counter points at it, the slice has shredded Parmesan and basil leafs on it....I'm not a fan of straight basil and I asked is there any with out it and he said no. So I went with the roman style buffalo chicken slice and a white slice. The buffalo chicken slice, crust is crisp but was more hard hard then soft and was a little burned, had a good ratio of heat and will say the celery was something new but went well. The white slice crust was the same as the first slice (I mean I get it you're reheating a slice so not going to hold a little burned against it) but it's a white slice it Parmesan mozzarella and ricotta, if you mess that up you shouldn't be making pizza. All in all the pizza was decent but this is more just hype than "labor of love" I felt, just some pizza with some bs on it. I do have plans to visit the mineola location and maybe that will change my opinion but the experience...
Read moreEight months ago, we went to their Mineola store and in response to my review Chef Rob Cervoni wrote “when we get to Massapequa we will make it up to you”. Yeah, that didn’t happen. On a Tuesday evening around 8:00, we entered to find an almost empty restaurant. At the counter were a young woman behind the register with her cell phone out and a guy tending to the pizza ovens. Neither of them acknowledged our presence for an uncomfortably long while. We stood in awkward silence looking over the wide selection of square slices behind the glass. None of the combinations of toppings seemed at all familiar except the pepperoni one. There were no labels identifying them, which would have been a great help. While we waited entirely too long for recognition by the counter guy, more and more people began to filter in. As the seemingly overwhelmed counter guy begrudgingly began to answer our repeated questions of “what is this one”, we selected a pepperoni and a hot honey slice. They were vile. Inedible. My wife and I took one bite of our respective Roman Slices and threw them both into the garbage at the beverage station. Now I’m no Food Network star so I’ll save the gourmandizing to the pros, but $15 and change for two slices and a soda was pretty much wasted. We wish you good luck in...
