Gruppo NYC Thin Crust Pizza

We had an excellent experience at Gruppo Pizza last night. We got a large pizza and the bacon jam crostini. The bacon jam crostini was phenomenal. I’d go back 100 times just to get some. The pizza was also excellent. Perfectly crispy, and the toppings were tasty and fresh. We came around 8:30pm, so a little later, but the atmosphere was very relaxing and quiet. The servers were very kind and helpful. Definitely recommend this spot!

Very good pizza very similar to posto’s. A thin crust pizza lovers dream as it is very good made with high quality ingredients. The wait time is quite long but so worth it. Good atmosphere and service too. Nice park nearby and good for take out or dine in. If you are nearby I would recommend and highly suggest. But do it with caution-as it’s pretty addicting.

If you want some killer pizza in a great atmosphere, this is your place! The pies are made fresh, and you can tell every ingredient is of the highest quality. Amazing wine and beer selections, and the staff is absolutely amazing. Very attentive, courteous, and really go above and beyond to make you feel right at home. 10/10

I've been coming to Gruppo and its spin-off restaurants for years... and we also frequently order take-out (please Gruppo consider delivery to Ave D!). Our favorites are the Shroomtown and Big Pineapple - we usually go half of each. Salads are good too. Great place for kids early on, or for a casual date later in the evening.

Our photos don’t do justice to the food. Started with Mediterranean Salad which was perfectly dressed with pine nuts. Large pie - 1/2 Shroontown; 1/2 Sausage, basil, caramelized onions. Ended with the bread pudding- which did not disappoint.

Although my experience was overall satisfactory at Gruppo, I have to stop just short of giving it 5 stars. We sat at the bar and engaged in some light conversation with the barmaid who normally works at a different Gruppo location. She was courteous, attentive and professional. She even helped us with our orders as my buddy and I had never eaten here but he heard the pizza was great. I ordered the white personal pizza. That pie came with arugula and added a split of bacon and spicy sausage toppings. The combo of toppings with the white pie and arugula was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately I found that the crust itself, although very thin, had very little flavor to offer to my combo of toppings.

Great thin crust pizza restaurant! Fantastic service, decent prices, and cozy atmosphere. This is a lovely neighborhood spot for a pizza that is filling but not too heavy!

I was walking to go do my laundry and damn near broke my neck at the happy hour sign out front of this place. "Free Large Plain Pizza with the purchase of any wine bottle or beer pitcher." SAY LESS! My big bro had just gone on a few dates with the same girl, so we had a debriefing meeting over some pinot noir and pizza, like true savants. I won't go into great detail because big bro would beat me up, but he casually mentioned he and his lady friend had 6 drinks each at one restaurant. Mind you this was the 1st date. Like dawg 6 drinks would have me and my pockets ROCKED. But I guess that's why he's big bro! Back to the topic. Normally, when I eat pizza and drink I am taken out for the next 6-8 hours, as my body is fighting a war to digest all those calories made up of cheese, bread, and alcohol. I didn't have this problem at Gruppo as the pizza is ULTRA thin. It is almost flatbread with a cracker like crust, cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of crisp. It's ideal for the rockstar skinny look I am going for these days. The staff was extremely accommodating, as they checked in on us multiple times to make sure we didn't miss the happy hour window. That's Love Speech. I couldn't have imagined a cozier setting to just talk the night away, bonding with my big bro over some wine and pizza. Bottles of wine start at around $40 while pitchers of beers start around $30. An ideal place to go with a big group.

Great service, good food, really good lighting and great vibes. I liked the music, the decor, everything. 10/10.

Delicious thin crust pizza with real cheese and quality ingredients. Pasta is perfectly cooked. I love the vibes of this place.

went for happy hour from 3-6: buy a pitcher of beer and get one free pie. service was wonderful and the staff was so nice to me and my friends. lastly the music was fun and modern and the lighting calls for a good time! would recommend and would come back again

If you love thin pizza, tis' the place to be! If you're hungry, order one pie for yourself! If you want 1 regular slice, put 4 slices on top of one another. If you are a New Yorker? These pizza may be difficult to fold. If you're with a group of friends? Order 3 pints of alcohol! They will give you discounts! If you come here often, the waitress will address you with misters and misses. What else am I missing? Nothing! Just enjoy the pizza! PS: Their sandwiches and soup of the day are absolutely amazing!

A small hidden gem in the EV! I've went by this spot many times and never went in. However, the one time I decided to try it, it was a very calm night with not a lot of guests. Very nice service and the server was happy to introduce us to her favorites. I LOVE thin crust pizza and I never thought to order it at a pizza shop except for Dominos! This place was so yummy and the thin crust was crunchy and saucy. I loved it so much, the price was decent, the pasta was filling! Great spot to try!!!!

Came in late Sat night with a friend & I loved the vibe of the place! It's not too formal but def not a casual pizzeria so it is a great place for a date or a nice hangout with friends or family. The calamari was 1 of the best I've ever had in the city (& I've had a lot!) & the chickpotle pizza was such a unique flavor. I'll def be back to try their other interesting pizzas! Our waiter Abel was very knowledgeable & friendly & suggested a prosecco that we had to ask for the name of bc it was that good!

They have a pretty good happy hour deal of a large free cheese pizza with a purchase of any bottle of wine or pitcher of beer. It's been such a long time that I've had thin crust pizza that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! I'm excited to try the pizza with toppings. Although I wonder given the thinness of the pizza, if the toppings would overpower the basic ingredients. We also split an appetizer that included prosciutto wrapped around tomatoes, veggies and cheese! I would come again for the pizza!

Gruppo is an excellent restaurant. It is affordable, delivers and the food is always delicious. five stars. t.a.

We haven't had thin crust pizza in a while and thought what better place to stop than Gruppo's?! It's been years since we visited but Gruppo's still got it! As a small group, we ordered the personal pies of Classic Margherita and Salsiccia Dolce. We could not remember the personal size as an option back then and decided to give it a try. The Margherita was saucy and had great flavors with the fresh mozzerella. The salsiccia was sweet and savory with the caramelized onions and sausage. However, we were unable to justify the price of the personal pie. It seems like the price would include at least a small salad or side to accompany the personal pie! The interior is somewhat dim and they do not have a lot of people dining in. They have a lot of takeout orders.

Amazing place for thin crust pizza in the East Village. They have lots of vegan options as well. The pecorino crostini appetizer is divine. Arnold served us and he is a delight. The place is chill and spacious which is in unheard of in this area. We will be returning!

Ok flavor but cracker like thin crust...not a fan. Maybe I'm just a purest or a pizza snob but to me this style should not be called pizza and not should Chicago deep dish or Greek style. If you put tomato sauce and cheese on pita or a bagel is it still a pizza!

Love Gruppo. Great neighborhood spot for an easy pie and salad. The pizza is thin and not too filling. They have great happy hour deals and the vibe inside is so chill.

good prices and great pizza. been going here since middle school! the restaurant is very cozy.

Ya'll should give this place a try! You will definitely feel at home with the service the employees provide. The place isn't super big, but it's definitely nice and cozy for any type of gathering you may have. The food is delicious and isn't excessively heavy or salty. I had the shrimp all'aglio and shrimp linguine. Of course, since this place is known for its thin crust pizza, I did try some at the suggestion of Abel. Just make sure you ask for Abel when you're there! He'll surely take good care of you!

Good pizza and good service. The fromaggio Bianco and the Parma are the one we tried and were pretty good

I usually don't give restaurants five stars because usually there's some small flaw in either the food, the service or the environment but I can honestly say that this is by far the best BEST pizza I ever had! Me and my family came here to celebrate my sister in laws birthday and everything was amazing! Even the house salad was great! We ordered four pies, 3 plain and one Grandma pie. The Grandma pie was great but the tomatoes could have been roasted a little on the pie and a little salt would have made a huge difference. The star of the show was the plain pie! They were full of flavor, not greasy and just the right cheese to crust ratio. The restaurant was clean and the server was courteous and friendly. They do add the gratuity on the bill automatically (20%), so keep that in mind before tipping. The pizza was great, the restaurant was clean and the service was great! Everything you look forward to in a restaurant experience so why not give it a great rating? Will definitely be back to try out all their different other pies!

This is an awesome pizza spot. Super cute on the inside with small tables. I got the large plain cheese to split with a friend and we were good. What drew me in was actually the happy hour deal - a large pie gets you a complimentary pitcher of beer. The slices are thin so be prepared to order more than you're used to. They pretty much go right through me.

Like their other joint, I feel the same that I love their thin crust and their pizza, but I always feel like the flavor is too heavy for thin crust pizza (not enough carbs to balance it out) , would love more if they go lighter on the seasoning. The shrimp pizza was really good! Caesar salad was fresh and delicious also.

Daily 3:30-630pm and Monday from 3:30pm - close Free large plain pizza with purchase of pitcher of beer, bottle of wine or buy 1 glass get 1 I'm usually not a fan of thin crust pizza, but this is EXCELLENT plain thin crust pizza. The spinach salad has exceptional flavor as well. Excellent service, wine was delicious and we got a craft of water which was perfect for a hot day! Most certainly will be back.

I need you to recognize the mushroom artistry on the shroomtown pizza. Like forreal, somebody is a LEGEND in my book. The thin crust is cracker thin... But doesn't taste like a cracker--yes, GAWD. Anytime we go to a new pizza spot (that's supposed to be good), we try the plain pie, because a pizza shop is only as good as it's plain pie, and bruddah, lemme tell ya'll, it's official. If you're a thin crust lover, you'll love this place. If your a classic or deep dish lover, you'll still love this place cuz the ingredients are fresh as fuuuuq AND it's buy one get one glass of wine until 630 on weekdays. We also got the dessert which was ok, nothing compared to the pizza !and probably premade) but still a satisfactory end to gorging on pizza in the name of gluttony. Order details... Large pie: half shroomtown, half big pineapple + plain personal pie, two glasses of wine + brownie a la mode with Tahitian vanilla ice cream: $60

Friendly staff and cozy spot but thought the pizza toppings should have been cooked. The crust was great but the spinach, tomato and cheese was put on after it was cooked. Seemed a bit strange

My party of 5 made reservations in advance for Thursday night at 8 PM which wasn't necessary because it was fairly empty. Originally we were all going to order personal pies but we were advised by our waiter that because of the thin crust, we'd probably need more if we were hungry Ultimately we were very grateful we listened to his advice because we got 3 large pies, one personal pie and one chicken salad and the 5 of us ending up eating most of it. The pizza here is insanely crispy (honestly made me wonder how they were able to keep the pizza crispy while loading on the toppings) I got half meat lovers half tres fuegos (spicy marinara with shrimp) I personally love trying unique toppings on my pizza but I wouldn't recommend the tres fuegos to someone who enjoys a more classic style pizza. The meat lovers was amazing and again, cannot emphasize enough how crispy the pizza was. Our waiter was friendly and personable and didn't rush us out the door even when he realized we were finished with our meal but still hanging out and chatting. My table got a bottle of wine ($50) but if we hadn't, the price after tax and tip wouldve turned out to around $35 per person.

Pizza was over cooked. The pizza was so burnt it was flavorless. I had the meat lovers pizza. Gruppo's you can definitely do better!

Got the personal size cheese pizza with spicy sauce and it was YUMMMMM

Been here a few times and always very much enjoyed it. Pizza is so nice and thin and crispy, lots of flavor and tons of different options to choose from. I've tried the Margherita (my fav) Giardino (vegetable pie - really good) and chipotle (chicken with pineapples also very good) if you're looking for good thin crust oven style nyc pizza this is the spot. Very reasonably priced and not to mention great happy hour deals. Atmosphere is lively but also family friendly.

This is my 2nd time reviewing Gruppo. 5 stars both times! We love this place and this time we had 22 people with us for dinner and the service was excellent!!! Great place for thin crust pizza in a great location in the East Village.

I really wanted to like this place - but unfortunately didn't work for me. The pizza is thin crust the way I like it, but the crust tasted bitter and was burnt. I liked the kale and manchego salad, which got them the additional star. There are far too many good pizza spots in NYC to ever go back here.

Gruppo what happened!! It truly SADDENS me to write this review. I've been a loyal customer for the longest. I understand COVID has affected many restaurants. However it is no excuse to serve underwhelming pizza with upcharge. We had our usual Formagio Bianco and Shroomtown. It was delivered cold and the flavors were very off. It didn't have the same aroma and bite to the pizza at all. Worst offense was that their thin crust which is usually light crisp that reminds you of crackers when you bite into it, wasn't there. It was totally lacking and soggy!!!! Whatever is going on please rectify. I am writing this so others might be forewarned.

Do not order delivery from Gruppo. The past two deliveries I have requested have been as follows: 1) 2, 9" pizzas delivered instead of a 9" & a 16" 2) Literally no pizza delivered at all. I am giving 2 stars b/c if you can actually get your hands on a pizza, it will be tasty. Good luck!

OMG after trying Lombardi's, Pizza, Bleecker St. Pizza, Prince Street, and Artichoke Pizza, Gruppo was a clear winner. We only decided to give Gruppo a try because a friend recommended it and it was convenient to her apt. Otherwise, we would have 100% missed out on such great pizza due to the low reviews compared to the other pizzas mentioned. Ingredients were fresh. Crust was crispy. Cheese was stingy. Sauce was on point. We ordered a personal pizza which is 9" and you can do half half! We did the meat lovers and shroomtown. After we ordered, my friend texted me and told me that I MUST try their plain pizza. The fatties that we were, we had to order it too. Thankfully they had lunch specials. 2 slices of plain for $6 and $5 to add a pint of draft beer = $11. It was already $9 for a pint so for $3 extra, we were sold. The texture and crunchy-ness from the slice was different than the personal pizza. Personal was actually crispier and browner. BF LOVED the mushrooms on his shroomtown with truffle oil. I liked the plain more but the crust on the personal more. We're so glad that we decided to try Gruppo on our last day in NY. Service was great. You can sit inside and don't have to stand while you shove a slice down your throat and deal with tons tourist.

Hands down the best thin crust pizza I have ever tasted, phenomenal spot for a date, dinner or get together, good wine selection. Big pineapple is my favorite, just skip on the tomatoes, chickpotle also a great choice, I think all their specialty pies can satisfy everyone's distinct taste buds. It can be pricey but well worth the price. My kids love their pizza and everyone I bring here can't get enough.

Best thin crust pizza in the East Village! Highly recommend. Great happy hour deal. .

This is a tough one because the pizza from Gruppo is easily 5-star. It's really, really, REALLY, good. But overall I wasn't super impressed with anything else about my dinner here. First off, the noise level here is annoying. I'm not usually bothered by loud restaurants but what weirded me out was the music. They were alternating between really loud pop music and normal-volumed Christmas music. I loved the Christmas music, but the loud pop music was off-putting and made the restaurant way loud bc it caused everyone having a conversation to start to basically yell. As far as the food goes, as I said the pizza was amazing. The thin crust was surprisingly crisp and the Meat Lovers pizza was perfectly balanced. However, the lasagna was just ok. All lasagna is good lasagna, but this was nothing special. Tbh I could've made better myself. I was a little disappointed with the limited wine menu as well. There's nothing better than a good glass of wine with Italian food so I was surprised how few options there were. If you're looking for just a good pizza, Gruppo is a solid option; but there are so many good Italian restaurants in the area that offer great food plus a great dining experience that I would go back to before Gruppo.

This place keeps getting better! Gruppo Thin Crust Pizza is a fun East Village place to hang on a Saturday night. The seats are comfortable, the food delicious, and the service SPECTACULAR! From what I know, it's all thin crust pizza and salad -- but I could be wrong. If you have any dietary needs, maybe contact Gruppo Thin Crust Pizza directly? Out of all the New York City pizzerias I have been too, Gruppo Thin Crust Pizza is most able to worK with you. Whatever they are doing in the kitchen, I consistently crave Gruppo Thin Crust Pizza.

We've only done takeout/delivery from here. The food is really good! The bruschetta is really fresh and maybe even better than the pizzas. The thin crust pizzas are surprisingly filling and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the mushroom and meatball ones.

Gruppo is the BEST!!! Lovely staff, incredible pizza- best gluten free crust in NYC and regular crust is great too, authentic east village vibes. As chains take over our city- this local spot is the joint!

Shroom town all the way, all the time. This is my go to type of pizza and something I recommend to everyone. The first time I discovered it, I fell in love with truffle oil and mushrooms. I had to tell everyone and show everyone and oh boy, did I eat a lot of pizza. And the best part about this is that.....it's thin! I get to eat more!! Clearly, I'm a fat ass. This is the best crunchy mushroom snack (I consider this a snack).

Nice environment! Also it's the best thin crust pizza ever!A pizza is too big for me the finish so I took the rest home, and it's still as good after hours!

Great service. Very comfortable seating options with my toddler. My fav was their meat lover pie. I love that they have so many personal pizza options. My husband and I have very diff taste when it comes to food. It's missing a star because I found that their pasta is very salty. My toddler loves their carbonara pasta. But I'm not very comfortable for her to eat so much of that coz it's too salty even for me. I tried the shrimp linguini. That one is even saltier. If the manager sees this, we love your place, hopefully you guys can adjust the saltiness a bit for the pasta.

The best pizza on the face of the earth. My husband, mom, and I ordered the Classico, Pepperoni, and Tres Fuegos, which is spicy chorizo and shrimp. I was in heaven. Holy Moly....... The establishment is clean and the service was very very good. I will def be coming back and drag a bunch of friends with me. My new Pizza Joint!!!!

Yum! This place was very tasty. Love the cheesy garlic bread and tho crust pizza. The service was fast and friendly. I would love to visit them again !

We have been customers of this place since the days when it was north of Tompkins Square in a tiny little spot. Over the last few times we've ordered, this place has not only gone downhill, but their prices have gone up. For over $60.00 for a pizza and salad, additional taxes, delivery fees (when a lot of places are free delivery) and a 20% tip, the attached photo is what that gets you. This is the 3rd time this has happened, each time the staff says "we'll craft a solution". The solution is to not keep gouging customers for mediocre pizza with exorbitant prices only to have delivery people not give a crap about your food and do god knows what with it before it arrives. This has inspired me to just make my own. It's better anyway.

Excellent thin crust pizza with generous portions of fresh toppings, I got the mushroom, covered with four or more types of tasty mushrooms.Good service and good value too. Lunch deal 2 slices and a soda for $6 or special topping slices for $7.50 another good reason to visit Gruppo Subsequent visit after interim stops at thicker crusted pizzerias reminded me how superior the texture and taste of a thin-crusted pizza is, and how much messier and more bloating dining on a thicker crust can be

This has become one of my favorite pizza places in the city. The Shroomtown (try it with caramelized onions and/or bacon!) still steals the show, but the Meatlovers runs a close second (pepperoni and two types of sausage). Their meatball hero with peppers is also a good choice. And they play awesome music! Lots of classic/80's/90's rock. Service is always chill and sweet.

I completely understand why this place has 4 1/2 stars...a rare find on yelp! My son and I are in town for college visits, flew in on Saturday evening. Of course our first meal had to be pizza! Based on the reviews, and the fact that it was only a few blocks from where we were staying, we decided to try it. WOW are we glad we did! We ordered the goat cheese and prosciutto crostini...amazing! The combination of flavors was incredible. You won't be sorry if you order this. Then we chose the Classica pizza. We thought that $22 for a 16" cheese pizza (basically...but not really) was a lot. When we got the pizza, with fresh mozzarella, fresh tomatos and fresh basil, we understood that it was worth every penny! The thin crust is crispy and doesn't flop when you pick it up. This makes it easy for 2 people to eat a large pizza! Well actually we ate 3/4 of it at the restaurant, then a couple of hours after we got home we decided to heat up the remaining 2 pieces! 5 mins in the oven and it was just as good as the first time. Our server was excellent as well. I spilled my water and he was so gracious and I was embarrassed, but he was very kind about it. Maybe this is my idiosyncracy, but one thing I judge in a good server is not having to ask for a refill on your soda. He was right there with a fresh one right as I was finishing the first one. I will definitely come here again!

My husband and I have been coming to gruppo since back when they were located on"upper B" This is our local go to for happy hour and great thin crust pizza THE ENTIRE STAFF is wonderful Very accommodating and genuine The food is locally sourced from their own farm, upstate Everything is fresh and delicious Both my husband and myself are in the restaurant business and have to say, the food is great and the service is impeccable ... kale salad is to die for Oh.. and killer cheesecake!!!!

I came here on a Saturday night with no reservation with two friends and got seated immediately. I can appreciate good NYC restaurants that you can reliably walk into without having to wait. The atmosphere is dark and relatively quaint. I ordered a personal build your own pizza, which was delicious. My two friends shared a large pizza, which is a much better deal. They both loved the pizza as well. Prices were reasonable and the food and beer were very good. I love a no frills, good pizza place. I would definitely recommend this place.

Back to Gruppo after a couple of years - on a Saturday night at around 8 just about anywhere in east village that has any kind of popularity is packed with an hour wait - here more reasonable for about 10 minutes and in any case it's still my favorite pizza place in NY. Sat in one of the 4 top booth in front (they are not fixed so some could fell narrower than others) noticed this time that when packed the place - a more or less rectangular dining room - could be extremely noisy, even across the narrow booth table we all had to shout to be heard. Something I hadn't noticed before, maybe in past visits we hadn't sat right under the speakers and it wasn't packed full with some very loud and shrieking parties at the bar. Anyway, we had the meat lovers pie, my favorite and every bit just as good as expected, and a custom pie with shiitake mushrooms and onions (not the best combination but still tasty). At $30 per large pie (enough for 2-3 to share) it was still fairly pricy but if you want cracker thin and crispy crust with flavorful toppings there is just no better place than Gruppo. Also had the Caesar salad, very fresh and with "real" yummy Caesar dressing - definitely one to keep in mind as you usually don't get the proper Caesar dressing at most other restaurants.
