Austin Street Pizza

Austin Street Pizza is that spot. This slice was absolutely unreal... perfectly crispy crust, rich sauce, melty cheese, and the pesto drizzle took it to another level. Every bite was packed with flavor and didn’t disappoint for a second. Fresh, bold, and straight-up delicious. If you’re on Austin Street and craving pizza, don’t even think twice. I’ll definitely be back.

Austrian Street Pizza is absolutely amazing! We love this place — the pizza is always fresh, perfectly crispy, and full of flavor. You can taste the quality in every bite. Our daughter couldn’t get enough of it — she kept saying how yummy it was! The sangria is also so refreshing and delicious. The staff is friendly, the place has such a warm vibe, and everything feels freshly made with care. We’ve been here multiple times and it’s always consistent — hot, cheesy, and full of that real pizza love ❤️ Highly recommend Austrian Street Pizza for families, friends, or anyone who appreciates good food and good vibes. Definitely one of our favorites!

Phenomenal! I tried the classic NY slice and the truffle mushroom sicilian, both were wonderful. Crispy bottoms, no flop at all, the truffle mushroom savoryness was very deep, loved it! Only feedback is they could’ve heated the slices up a bit more, but you could just ask for that if that’s what you like. The inside of the restaurant is very casual, I went on Sunday at early lunchtime and it wasn’t too busy, but i expect at peak times you won’t be able to find somewhere to sit. They have vegan and vegetarian options, I paid $11 for two slices.

If you have a gluten and dairy allergy and you really want a pizza that tastes like the real deal, Austin Street Pizza is the place to go. They have by far the absoultr best gluten free, vegan pizzas. They do not have one of those really thin gluten free crust, you actually get a real crust. A call in is required if you are ordering to go, the online menu does not give you the option to customize the pizza.

The pizza tasted fresh, the service was excellent, and the staff was very friendly. It’s a great environment to sit, relax, and enjoy a meal. Definitely worth trying!

Love their pizza and they have Boylans diet creme soda, which is hard for me to find at other spots. The staff is always welcoming and interactive. In the summer they have outside seating, which is nice.

The best pizza spot in Forest Hills! While the menu offers a limited variety, every item is made with care and fresh, high-quality ingredients. The service is friendly and attentive, making the overall experience very pleasant. Looking forward to seeing the outdoor seating area open soon—it would be a great addition!

One of the tastiest pizza I've had in New York. Even with a price of 4.25, the portion was way larger than any mediocre slices. There was a great blend of the sauce, basil and the cheese. The crust was thin and crispy. Would recommend.

I probably hit this spot up at least twice a month. Can't say they're necessarily the cheapest pizza spot around but it's definitely not crazy expensive either but the pizza you get will be very solid. Pizza dough is well flavored, doesn't flop but still chewy and soft. And every slice I've tried has not disappointed. Highly recommend. The place is relatively small but I've almost always managed to find a place to dine in when I go, even when extremely busy. That said it might be harder if you're a larger group obviously. If you're in the area and craving pizza, certainly a worthwhile place to check out. Staff is also very friendly and will happily make a recommendation if you're not sure what you want.

Best pizza in Forest Hills but if you eat there, pizza is not really hot, they warm it up too quick. Food:5/5 Service: 3/5

Okayish pizza. I can appreciate the creativity and modern flavors, especially with a lot of old-timers in the area (and most of Queens, for that matter). But you will hardly see those old-school New Yorkers eat here, and more younger faces. The prices here are definitely on the pricier side given its prime location. I'm usually okay with paying for good quality pizza, but I haven't been able to have a slice where I felt like it was worth paying more than I would at my hole-in-the-wall shops. That said, service is very quick and they move fast with the lines and getting your food warmed up. Nothing special about the seating, but the fact that they are high volume and have a revolving door of customers dining in usually means that tables are filled with crumbs.

While walking along the main drag of stores on Austin St in Forest Hills, we always see people carrying Austin Street Pizza boxes and we were intrigued to try them out. In this corner store, the food prep area is way bigger than the seating area with a couple of stacks of smaller steel pizza ovens instead of the big hulking ones you normally see at other neighborhood pizzerias. The tables are only 2 seaters with both low tops and high tops, so if you have 3 or more people, you have to scramble to grab chairs to huddle around a small square table. You can order your pizza by the slice, in 18" Neapolitan/NYC style, in 14" diameter "personal" size or square/rectangular Sicilian style, also by the slice. The specialty pizzas on the menu come in all these styles. Some of the flavor/toppings are unique and almost artisan style, not your average sausage and pepperoni. I kept hearing people ordering the truffle & mushroom slice, while we were waiting on our fresh baked pies. We tried the Porchetta & Broccoli Rabe and the Bacon, Caramelized Onion & Vodka Sauce, both in the 14" round size for the 3 of us, along with an order of 6 garlic knots. The knots came with a couple of cups of sweet marinara sauce for dipping. I'm not shy about double dipping, so I grab a cup for myself. The pizzas were hot and bubbly when our server brought them to the table. She had brought a couple of pizza stands so that we would have table space to eat, which was very thoughtful. The Porchetta & Broccoli Rabe pie had a mix of cheeses and I could smell the pungent-ness of provolone. The Vodka Sauce on the other pie gave it a nice sweet taste, but I wish there was more bacon. The crust was excellent and had the signature blisters of a well baked crust. I can't wait to come back to try all the other flavor combinations!

If you know, you know -- and now I definitely know. 7th Street Pizza just gave me one of the best pizza experiences I've ever had. First off, the slices are massive, thin, and perfectly crisped on the bottom with just the right chew in the crust. You can tell they care about the dough here -- it's got that airy, golden blistered edge that only comes from real skill. I tried their classic Margherita slice and a Sicilian-style slice with pesto drizzle. The Margherita was pure perfection: vibrant tomato sauce with a fresh, tangy bite, creamy mozzarella that melted into every bite, and those fragrant basil leaves that hit you with a burst of freshness. Simple, but executed flawlessly. The Sicilian slice? Unreal. Fluffy yet crisp crust, rich tomato sauce, just the right amount of cheese, and the pesto added a garlicky, herby punch that made it addictive. You can taste the quality of the ingredients -- nothing feels cheap or thrown together. Service was quick and friendly, and even eating in my car felt like an event because the pizza was that good. If you're anywhere near this place, make the stop. It's not just pizza -- it's a slice of happiness.

The very best vegan pie I've ever had! Because it's vegan, you have to order a whole pie. I opted for the all veggie with vegan cheese. I was very hesitant because most vegan cheese is.... gross... this wasn't. It was good. Did it taste exactly like cheese? No... but it didn't have that artifical aftertaste that most vegan cheeses have. It was loaded with veggies, olives, spinach, artichokes and a couple of other veggies. I got the personal pie, 6 substantial pieces.. it took about 10 or 15 to get the fresh steaming hot pie. Thin crispy crust. I also tried the watermelon frozen rose, it was good. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

Austin Street Pizza a must if you're in Forest Hills and craving standout square slices with amazing flavors - the crust is just so crispy, flavorful and paired nicely with any toppings. The truffle slice is pure decadence--earthy, creamy, and indulgent. Don't like mushrooms? No problem, just pick them off and I guarantee you will still like it. The spicy sausage vodka slice brings the heat in all the right ways, mellowed out by that rich, velvety vodka sauce topped with burrata. And the pesto margarita square? Bright, fresh, and herbaceous with a gorgeous drizzle of basil pesto on every bite. You honestly can't go wrong with any of them. They also serve up sangria, which is such a plus. It's fruity, just sweet enough, and makes the whole experience feel more like a chill hangout than a typical pizza stop. Perfect for a quick bite, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself to a solo pizza party. Staff is very friendly and service is great.

Ever since they open every time we try any of their pizza we thoroughly enjoy: from their ultra thin slices (that must be eaten there and fresh) to a whole truffle pie and burrata salad takeout we enjoyed today. They are pretty fast and no long waits and ambiance is bright and open.

Come here! Definitely the best NY style pizza in the neighborhood. Staff is friendly - ingredients are fresh. Your best neighborhood option if you're looking for a slice shop.

Tried this place for the first time and every slice I had was solid across the board. The plain cheese slice hit that classic NYC style comfort zone, good balance of sauce and cheese with a crust that had the right chew. The margherita slice had fresh basil and a lighter, cleaner flavor without losing that satisfying bite. The standout for me was the upside down vodka slice. The sauce had a rich, almost creamy depth to it, and flipping the order of cheese and sauce somehow made it feel more indulgent. Crust held up well on every slice. Highly recommend.

Austin Street Pizza has never failed me! As a pizza lover, I don't have just one place that I love. I have preferred pizza shops in various locations and in this area, this is it for me. It's usually packed but you're able to place your order quickly. I love the crust, the slight oven burn and smell, the way that impacts the texture of the crust and the freshness of everything on top. My go to is the margarita. Can't get enough. Pricing is what you'd expect to pay in Forest Hills- their rent is costly I'm sure and for me, the pizza is well worth it. Keep in mind, that a ton of city workers, especially cops and law enforcement favor the space for large group gatherings so it gets pretty loud. This isn't the ideal place for a first date- not if you want to hear each other. Other than that, you can't lose.

Best pizza in the area for sure!! Amazing crust and fun special slices :) No delivery but it's worth it to take a walk and pick it up, that's how good it is

Pizza is next level! As bad as I want to move out nyc this place is what makes me be like f it and stay another year! They put crack in the pizza! I am hooked!

Good pizza for the area. Prices increased. The pie quality varies. For a grandma slice, I prefer Dantes.

delicious pizza place :) decent price and there're place to eat. + restroom. workers keep making fresh pizza every min so you can get fresh pizza!! They take cash and credit cards are the same price. Store very friendly. customers are non judgmental vibes. Dinning in, Great sun comes in!

Love coming here for some slices my favorite is the mushroom truffle slice and the underrated meatballs this one I definitely recommend eating while it's hot and enjoy the savory cheese pull (it's always packed and full and they don't disappoint).

Spectacular Restaurant serving the best Pizzas- fresh ingredients tasty and crispy exterior crust on the outside, just the way we like it. Kieran is a warm inviting bright cheerfull super efficient friendly counter person. Such high level professionalism. The owner goes the extra mile to ensure his customers are satisfied. So attentive and surpassed our expectations with the extra attention to our delicious pies. Great atmosphere- up beat. The best staff and management.

Employees are friendly and fast. Not a huge selection, but the pizza is delicious! The inside is clean and has plenty of seating

I visited and thought it was just Ok. Seems like a great quick lunch spot in the area. The place is nice and inviting, I could see how this place gets busy and the employees were friendly and helpful. For me, the review is strictly on the food. The food: Pesto Margherita- This was a rec from the employee that was working there, she said this was her fav slice. I agree with her. I thought the pop of the tomato was really nice, it was really pronounced. The pesto added a nice herbal touch to the bright tomato flavor. The crust was a little different than a normal pizza square would be, this one felt a bit more like focaccia bread. It had a lot of holes and it was good but not sure I associate this with pizza dough. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=B5_Ts__vQ-Vmcs9-NxNS1w&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA NY 2.0- It was described to me as a blend of the reg NY slice and a margherita. This kinda felt bland to me and I also wasn't a fan of how un-crunchy the dough was. This didn't have much flavor and there wasn't much texture, this was very average to me.

You know the pizza is good when you return the next day. The service was amazing as well -- they forgot to add a topping on the pizza and gave us complimentary garlic bread while we waited for the pizza to be remade. It was busier on the weekend, but there was still some seating available and it was still a pretty chill, laid back spot. The garlic bread was soft and flavorful. I'm not a big garlic bread person at pizza places because the garlic bread is typically average, but I would order this garlic bread the next time I return. The pizza was made fresh when we ordered a full pie and had a soft, doughy crust.

Such a good pizza spot! Great specialty slices. You can sit in the store or take it to go - it travels well too! I think you can order online for pickup as well. Staff is very friendly!

Really good pizza this is for sure a hidden gem the margarita was hands down my personal favorite

Had the chance to stop by for an impromptu dinner during the week after running errands. Well the staff was very pleasant and gave their recommendations when I was unable to make a choice. I chose the hot pepperoni and split a regular slice. I paired it with a watermelon rose. Well everything was delicious! The cheese, the sauce and the delicious crust. I am disappointed I took so long to try this location. I will be returning to try their other options. There are some seating locations but I can imagine if it is busy, seating may be sparse.

Their Pizza is so good!!! Love when they try new takes on pizza too. 10/10 no complaints from me ! Especially their vodka slices ! Chefs kiss

Amazing amazing amazing pizza. I'm usually not a fan of square slices, but Austin Street Pizza does it differently. The crust is so incredibly crispy and the dough doesn't feel too heavy and carb-loaded like other places (looking at you L&B's). We actually ordered online but forgot to hit send, so when we showed up to the shop to pick up, the staff were incredibly patient, and made them quickly on the spot for us in about 10 minutes. You really can't go wrong -- except for us, who live in another borough. Please open one up in Brooklyn!

The crust of the square pizzas is truly unique, rich, layered, pliable yet crunchy. The pesto slice is tremendous. The truffle slice is rich and deep in flavor. Or the regular NY style slice is a lighter and faster eat. This is the best pizza I've had in New York City these days. The staff has become much friendlier with a few different people working there.

I have walked by here before but didn't get a chance to go in since it recently opened. I bought one plain slice. The crust is thin and light, crispy with a slight chew. The sauce is tangy and the cheese is mild. It did remind me of a slice from back in the day. And since there are no other pizza places on Austin Street anymore it's great to have these guys in the neighborhood. Since starting this review (and it somehow was stuck in drafts forever) I've had many slices and taken home a few pies. Loved them all. The pepperoni square slices are also delicious.

Great spot for delicious pizza! Pros: + Fast + Convenient + Margarita pizzas are great + Reasonably priced + Don't forget the garlic knots + Amazing salads IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

The service was quick, staff were very friendly, and the food was absolutely mouthwatering. The store was a bit small, but cozy nonetheless. Although keep in mind that it was noisy, so take care if you have sensitive ears. 10/10 will come again!

It took me way too long to try this spot but I'm so glad that I did. From what I read the pizza is made similar to Neapolitan pizza which I had the pleasure of consuming when in Naples a few years ago! I can definitely see the similarity. The crust is puffy and airy and the center is just a little wet very much resembling the Neapolitan style. I was actually shocked how light this pizza was until I opened the box and saw just how thin this pizza was. Honestly super cost effective on the part of the business to have such thin dough lol. I definitely would've preferred something a little thicker because it wasn't all that filling. Still, the taste was excellent. Not sure if the price makes it worth it considering the fact you'd probably need to eat double what you usually would to feel full but the pizza was definitely good and I would like to try other pies here.

I like this place but this time the sauce was way to sugary, did they accidentally place sugar instead of salt into the sauce. If it's a new recipe they need to go back to the old one because it was way too sweet.

We needed a simple and quick lunch and decided to finally try this spot. I tried takeout before at a party and it was just okay. Trying it in person, right out of the oven made a huge difference! Service is quick and fast. The female cashier was kind and thoughtful. She saw we had our two young kids with us and asked if we wanted the slice cut in half. I love that she asked as it shows her attentiveness. The slice was heated thoroughly with the best crispy crunch. Flavor was good and not salty. It's a smaller slice than what I'm used to and the price is okay for a plain slice. We also tried a margarita slice and that was good, too. There are a few seats, mostly high top, and there is bar style seating. I would certainly eat here than take it to go.

Good for this part of Queens but sub when you're from Brooklyn and used to great slices. Crust was light, although on the thicker side. The Margarita sauce is fresh crushed but no flavor overall, including the cheese. The cheese is thick on the Sicilian but again, no flavor. All of that bread with a lack of nutty, cheesy goodness or acidic tomatoey juiciness is disappointing. The Regular is good but can be gotten anywhere. Not destination Pizza. It has potential but for now, we'll stick with BK & the City!

I was in the area and checked the reviews on Yelp to see what pizza places were around. I picked this one. The people behind the counter were very upbeat, positive and attentive. The pizza was good. I had a regular cheese and a Sicilian cupped with pepperoni. The crust was cooked just right on both slices. It's a good place to go to if you are in the area but I wouldn't go there as a destination for the ultimate pizza.

Excellent high quality ingredient pizzas. We especially love the truffle pie! Tried a variety of pies (except with meat) all very good. Never any issues ordering or with customer service. Highly recommend

I was at Austin Street Pizza on a Sunday with Scott's Pizza Tours. I got to try two different slices. We tried the NY 2.0 (Organic Sauce, Aged Mozz, Fresh Mozz, Parmigiano Reggiano, Fresh Basil) and the NY 3.0 which was the same with a different dough. If possible the NY 3.0 was even lighter and airier than the NY 2.0. The 3.0 had more leopard spotting and char. I eat a lot of pizza and they were both dreamy perfection. I tasted 9 pizzas on this trip to NY, including some really famous ones, and this one was top 2! If I lived anywhere near Forest Hills I'd be here once a week. Well done!

Busy pizzeria serving freshly made, delicious pizza. Even the crust is good! It is soft and chewy.

Austin Street Pizza is a solid spot for a slice or a pie. I've been here a handful of times now and I've always had a positive experience. This time, I came around 3pm on a weekday and it was fairly busy, so it must be a pretty popular spot! I really enjoy the outdoor dining area, but there are also tables inside. Consistent with my last review, the square pizza is really the way to go. I especially love the corner slices and the crust has the perfect consistency. Bonus points for the pepperoni, which is definitely the good stuff. Is it the best pizza in New York? Most certainly not. But is it the best pizza in the neighborhood? Quite possibly. I'd happily come back for more pizza the next time I'm in town. Keep up the good work, Austin Street Pizza!

Had a cheese slice when I was in the area. I ate there after the slice was heated up. It was bad. Like really really bad. Like I couldn't believe this is a slice served in NYC! I couldn't believe the slices I usually get in Texas were better than this place. Same night we had pizza from Dante's Pizza. Now that was good pizza. Pricey and disappointing. Wouldn't be back.

Very good pizza. Had their regular slice today. Had a fresh mozzarella before. Staff is really friendly. Great selection of pizza. Very good

Got 3 slices today. Two plain slices were both awful, overbaked, and had giant air bubbles on them, and either no cheese or the cheese was rock hard due to being over baked. There really wasn't much actual pizza to consume. I couldn't see what they were putting in our box bc it had come right out of the oven and the place was packed. If you look at the slices there is no way any proper establishment would think to give them to a customer. Really disappointed about this and won't be going back.

If I could give this place 10+ I would. We live in queens and this is by far the best pizza (we drove 25 min just for this) and if you are lucky enough to get a New York 3.0 slice ....grab it!

Their regular slice is a winner. Service was quick, tho $3.50 for a slice is super pricey for a slice, but definitely tastes good. Better than many pizza places around the area. At a lower price point per slice I'd grab one a few times a week. At $3.50 I'll grab one monthly. Def worth the try if you're in the immediate area.

I was in the area with my daughter and was hungry and my daughter suggested Austin street pizza . As soon as we walked in we received a warm welcome by the gentleman behind the counter . He explained all the different slices they had available and everything looked so good . We decided on the margherita slice . We asked to not heat it up too much because we were in a rush and didn't wanna burn our mouths off . We both loved the slice it was price and full of flavor . The fresh mozzarella and the Basil are a great combo with the slightly tangy sauce . We will definitely go back to try the vodka slice . All in all it's a home run with both price, taste and service .

Awesome slice! Nice quick service. Good ambiance, comfortable- lots of lighting. Would definitely go back and recommend!!!

This is a great Forest Hills pizza spot right in the mai part of Austin Street! They have outdoor dining in summer and are quick with takeout. The displayed pizza slices are on rotation because they are fresh so we have tried a bunch of different ones. My husband prefers the meat ones like the pepperoni and suppressata and has been very happy with them. I like the truffle, vodka, Sicilian, and regular slices. We both really like the crust, which is thin and delicious. On the regular slice it's kind of doughy on the top in a good way. Overall great neighborhood spot! Takes credit card (no delivery option though) and right near chip for dessert!

Was in the neighborhood, again, and was getting a little hungry. I walked over to Austin Street pizza, there are quite a few bistros and different restaurants on the street to choose from. The pizza is good and fresh, the view isn't bad either for people watching.

The pizza here is amazing. From the beginning til the end, the slice was never soggy. It stayed nice and toasty. The food there is amazing. Service is okay. Plenty of outdoor seating. The margherita slice was my favorite. Even the plain slice was good.

Popped in for some late night slices and it hit the spot. Just walk in, point to what you want and they heat it up for ya. The two slices I got were just overwhelmingly delicious... I'm not sure if it's because I was ravenous or if I was very much not sober but it was a 10/10 experience haha. Food: 8/10 Service: 6/10 Vibes: 5/10 Value: 7/10
