Marabella Pizza

Horrible. I been living in the neighborhood for 25 years now and this pizza shop has really gone downhill. It used to be good when the previous owner had it but after they sold it and moved out of state this place isn’t the same anymore. If you want better pizza I suggest you take a walk across the blvd to the other side. Wont be coming back. Plus the guy with the painted nails that works in the counter is very rude and got a big attitude. Will i be back? Probably not..

I was visiting my daughter from upstate and wanted a good slice of pizza. Stopped in this little local pizzeria and was delighted. It was just what I wanted. Pizza was great and staff was extremely friendly. It's going to be new go to when I'm visiting.

I’ve been coming here for over 30 years, but after my latest experience, I won’t be back. I ordered the minestrone and steamed spinach (specifically requesting no garlic). What I received was completely inedible. The spinach was drowning in a garlic infested motor oil—the exact opposite of what I asked for—and both items were cooked so poorly that even my cat's food would have been more palatable. When I called to address the mistake, the person on the phone was dismissive and offered zero resolution. It’s sad to see: the prices are going up, but the food quality and service have hit rock bottom. Truly a terrible experience. This is one of the last few long-term establishments in the area.

They only have one size pizza which is large. I got a large cheese pizza with extra cheese and it cost $20. They have a cooler inside bottled soda's to drink. The pizza tasted really delicious. If you want cups of marinara it is a dollar per small cup. The server was friendly. The place was clean inside. I recommend ordering from this pizza Restaurant.

I wanted to like this place more, it was clean, including the available bathroom, and the manager was pleasant and professional. But: one of the two pizza pies was very undercooked, the other one was somewhat better; but it feels like they skimp on the sauce and the cheese. Also, avoid the cheese cake at all costs.

Please do better. This is the soggiest and most oily pizza I've ever received. The crust basically had no structure and the pizza was falling apart. I was even more annoyed to find that we were not given any napkins, yet the worker asked the next customer in line if they wanted napkins. If you're going to give such oily pizza, at least provide napkins.

Comforting pizza that hits the spot. Always consistent with the flavor. Can't go wrong with the gnocchi either.

This has been our family’s go-to pizza joint for over a decade and they’ve always been great.

Love the pizza and calzone. Great service and made fresh and timely. A great place I have enjoyed ordering since I was a kid.

The pizza was delicious and the server behind the counter George was very refreshing and amazing at costumer service he's very polite and good at his job.

For Sunnysiders, there was a time when Marabella was the go-to option for all things pizza. They are still the lifeblood of 41st & Greenpoint, a dreaded corner where many businesses don't survive. The old school charm is nice, which for many New Yorkers the preservation of such places is equally as important as the pizza itself. The pizza has had its ups and downs. Some slices have been hearty and crusty one moment and flimsy and floppy the next. I feel like the sauce has gotten sweeter, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but there is a some element that has ventured off somewhat. The TLC factor has been missing in some of their pies for quite some time, but I would stick to classic toppings for the sake of simplicity. For novelty seekers, the chicken focaccia (aka pizza sandwich) looks like an adventure. Despite substantial portions, the pastas are a no-go on this end. I feel the cannolis and stromboli options are solid and I appreciate the calzones are still packed with a dense amount of cheese. Their wings have been a focal point on their menu for years, but I haven't indulged since their price increase. The service has been their saving grace. The deliveries are speedy and the guys behind the counter are polite and efficient. If this place stands any chance at staying the course, then the staff will play a big part of it. They've been around for nearly 40 years, so I hope they up their pizza game to remain a part of this beloved community.

No one is allowed to eat indoors as it is blocked off. I went since I haven't ate their pizza and pastas in a long time. I ordered pizza to take out. I won't be returning as the pizza is so salty and their pasta wasn't good. The flavoring was just off and my stomach hurt in the end. I guess the wings were alright with the sauces they gave with it. But if a pasta/ pizza shop can only get their wings right it doesn't make any sense.

We recently ordered four pizzas from Marabella for my son's birthday party at City Ice Pavilion. Everything was great. The person we spoke to was pleasant and helpful. The pizza arrived right on time - the order was accurate and it tasted good. We have had challenges ordering pizzas from other restaurants for parties in the past, so it was very refreshing to have this positive experience.

I don't come to Sunnyside very often but when I do you better believe this pizza spot is on my mind. I have very fond memories of coming here to grab a slice. Really great spot to come to if you were day drinking as well. It's right smack on the corner and you can smell the pizza from up the block. I wasn't able to eat pizza on the day I took photos so I found myself eating their calzone. I was very pleased because it was not soggy and the cheese was just right. I could have used some more broccoli inside of the calzone but that is ok. I recommend getting a dipping sauce of marinara because it makes it taste even better. My significant other ordered the chicken with pesto, mozzarella cheese and tomato. Granted it sounds like he ordered a chicken parm but that wasn't the case. This sandwich was right on point and the chicken was breaded to perfection. Everything that we ordered wasn't too expensive which is a plus in my book. Glad, they take credit cards. :::Bathroom Alert::: The bathroom smelled nice. I'm glad it was cleaned and stocked with a lot of paper towels. It's a little snug in there in the bathroom so I hope you're not claustrophobic. It's also unisex so make sure you lock the door when you go. I walked in on a man doing his business. I have to say that's not the type of sausage I signed up to see that day. The men behind the counter were extremely nice. I like that we get to pay after the meal. Some places they make you pay right after you order. Also the tables were cleaned right after someone left which made me feel good. I loves me a clean table to sit at when I am eating at a pizza joint.

This is probably my favorite pizza in my neighborhood so far. I have tried about 4 or 5 non-chain restaurants in the area and this is some pretty good New York-style pizza. It's nothing fancy but it checks all the boxes. With a cute, tucked away location on the street corner, you can walk in for a quick slice or order a whole pie for takeout. I would recommend their garlic knots and grandma pie. But be warned- it can be heavy on the carbs so don't overeat like I did or you will feel bloated for the rest of the night. X_X

Decent slice. $3.50 is a little on the high end for a regular slice here, considering the ingredients don't seem to be the freshest. I'd be willing to try the other slices and chicken roll before writing it off completely.

If you enjoy authentic hand tossed pizza, then you will love their pizza. I ordered 4 pizzas for my students' end of semester celebration and I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call asking for the exact time I needed my pizzas. Not only were the pizzas delivered on time, but they were kind enough to include paper plates and napkins. Teens love pizza, so there were no complaints at all. The two teachers I shared with commented on the cheesy taste and asked me where I ordered from. They've won two more fans. Excellent pizza, excellent delivery, and it was a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend this place.

Consistently great pizza Entrees are good as well! Great service! Love Marabella!

Great local slice shop, service was great for a quick slice. I would recommend to a friend.

Solid old school NY pizza, sometimes can be undercooked but overall for quality vs price the best in Sunnyside, need to take out a mortgage to order at Sunnyside Pizza- so yeah quality vs price this is a Solid option !

This is my favorite local pizza place in Sunnyside! Never disappoints. Recommend ordering dir from their website.

Ordered some plain slices and a chicken cutlet sandwich to go. The slices were pretty decent but the sandwich was not. When I took a bit of the sandwich it was very mushy but also hard to bite into which was really strange. I spat it out and examined the chicken in the sandwich. That's when I realized that the chicken was raw. I didn't know how long this raw chicken had been sitting out - I threw the sandwich away. While I don't mind a rare steak, I don't really care for rare chicken. Hopefully this was just a one off fluke but I'll be wary about their sandwiches in the future.

Lived near this place for years but for some reason just never gave it a shot. Saw the barstool review and said it's time to try it out. Large cheese pie after me telling them I saw the review and the pie looked great etc I got the most bland piece of shit pie I've ever tasted it actually pissed me off how bad it was. Never again.

First time ordering from here and I got the beef patty & chicken Marsala plate. I really liked them both. I also got penne ala vodka for someone else and he said it was good & he was satisfied with his order. We got a salad on the side but it didn't come with any dressing, thankfully I had some ranch at home ! I definitely need to try more from here because the food was good and the prices were fair compared to ordering everyday in Astoria or Manhattan!

Long time neighborhood favorite. Love their Sicilian pies and their chicken wraps. Great service. Highly recommended.

My friend sent me a clip of the barstool pizza guy reviewing this place, thinking the chicken foccacia pizza sounded interesting. I tried it, just for the novelty of it. The pizza was just okay. The idea was good, as was the combination of ingredients, but the execution faltered. The chicken was dry and the whole slice was too burnt. Maybe it was an off day, but I agreed with BSP's review.

I had one of those days..."let's treat myself and get a pizza ...Friday night, take it easy...and so disappointed with my experience....I placed a phone order, I was nice, I tipped really well ...opened the box and was like...wow! seriously!...my whole 12" cheese pizza with pineapple and onions was so dry...almost completely burned.....It was literally a joke! I also ordered a gluten free pizza from them and it was so overpriced....I really don't know why, because gluten free flower is not that more expensive than the regular flower. Well...now the joke is one them.....!

Ordered delivery- baked ziti, garlic knots and a white slice. Marabella's is my go-to spot for baked ziti. Best ziti in Sunnyside, IMO. The ziti was on point as usual, but the white slice was waaaaaay overdone and old. Should never have been served to a customer. The knots were also a bit overdone. Lastly, the total was $14.75 but he said the minimum is 15 so he had to charge me the extra $.25. I think it's tacky to charge that to a regular customer, especially when I'm going to tip the driver. This experience l me feeling disappointed but at least the ziti was good and delivery was pretty quick. Update December 2019- I ordered a veggie pie with pepperoni from here and was very disappointed. Very light with all toppings including sauce and cheese. Food was bland. We also ordered a cheese calzone and it was really good. Apparently they do not include sauce with the calzones and so we had to call back (which I hate doing) and they came back. And charged us $1.00 for the sauce. Unsatisfying experience.

One of my favorite places to order pizza. High recommend but one thing don't call after 9pm u will get disappointed.

Let me tell you something about this place... I was starving at work, given I work at a noisy place. Rather than asking me to repeat and/or read my back my order I got hung up on. My coworker ordered chicken alfredo with penne and got chicken parm with spaghetti. My order got Completely screwed up and up charged 7$ for a sauce change. Never again

That was not pizza I just ate. That was something ghastly that would be even scarier if it wasn't so bland. Worst pizza in the world.

Marabella is the Pizza in the neighborhood. The fluffiest of crusts and an amazing marinara sauce!! If you are looking for European-Style pizza try the grandma slice. We also tried the Calzones, which were heavy on filling (which is not a bad thing, it was just a little much for me personally). Definitely worth coming here!

Definitely one of the top pizza joints in Sunnyside. One of the few places that does a REAL authentic New York slice. The pizza dough tastes like actual home-made and not that frozen cardboard stuff seen in a lot of places here. Its a perfect mixture of doughy/airy on the inside but crispy in all the right places, so it holds up even after you pick it up by the crust. Cheese and sauce were pretty standard tasting, an even distribution on top, but definitely much more cheese than sauce if you're picky about those things. Also the Garlic Knots 5 for a $1 is a decent deal, but they are small and don't have much garlic flavor though. $14.50 for 16" medium $15 for a 18" large

Marabella is a great spot for a slice or a quick pie. They deliver and are a staple in Sunnyside. I've ordered delivery a few times and never been disappointed. I also pop in maybe once every two weeks for lunch as I work from home and live nearby. While the pizza is good. The wings are OK but the best thing Marabella has going for them is their staff. The guys are friendly and helpful. They seem to appreciate their customers which is always nice to see. I will continue my bi weekly walks for two pepperoni slices and a ginger ale for ~$8.

I can't believe this place won the best slice in Sunnyside over Philomena's. Biggest upset since Trump 2016.

Outstanding slices! Workers are friendly, consistent, and reliable! Highly recommend if you're in the city.

These guys were great and I liked it. They treated me right and I enjoyed my pizza. I don't get out to Queens very often, so maybe they got a different way that I ain't used to in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Anyway I liked it. Very relaxed and welcoming. I was just walking by and thought- hey I'm hungry so what the heck? Ya know? Just walked in and BOOM: good times.

True NY style pizza. I liked it a lot. The meat lovers pizza was great. Everything tasted very good. My father had an antipasta salad that was terrific. I also liked that the restaurant has a big enough area that you can dine in. It's nothing fancy, but it's nice to have a place to sit and time to enjoy your dinner. The guys who work there are really nice as well and seem willing to do pretty much anything to accommodate you. They've also got a wide variety of non-pizza Italian food options. If I lived in the area I would eat here at least once a week and just rotate through the menu. I would highly recommend.

Ordered my standard penne vodka w grilled chicken thru grubhub. I've been struggling with the inconsistent quality in last cpl of years. chicken was old and obviously rubbery, pasta was greasy with NO FREAKIN VODKA SAUCE!! Come on!! thats just disrespectful! It's been a downhill slapfest w quality and we're losing. Tried to support thru covid but I'm DONE w spending more on this old, used up garbage. After 10 years patronage...the betrayal must end. It's over. Blocked on all apps. Done.

Ordered the Modello pizza which took 80 min to arrive. Perhaps the weather created the delay. The pizza arrived luke warm and odd looking. The prosciutto appeared and tasted more like Canadian Bacon. The sauce was limited and lacked in taste. The crust was tough but more like old dough than crispy thin pizza. Def won't order from there again.

Great old school pizza shop, food is great, place is relaxed, highly recommended if you are in the area.

Reading the reviews you might think this place has something that sets it apart from the mass of other pizza places that look and function identically; however, it does not. Hold the much-touted grandma slice up to a quintessential slice such as Frank's Pizzeria in the Bronx and you'll notice neither the crust nor the sauce measures up very well. The smoked mozzarella is a nice touch, but this place is just another slice place to me.

My favorite pizza joint in Queens! Cheap , clean and friendly I love it! My favorite dishes is chicken focaccia , eggplant rollatini and spinach pizza. I never get deliveries..... MARABELLA S ARE THE BEST!!!

This place has been in the neighborhood for as long as I can remember. I can say that for me the pizza here has never been spectacular, but everything else has always been delicious. I mainly only do takeout. I really enjoy their chicken parmesan dinner. This pizzeria do offer many typical dishes you would get in most standard Italian restaurants. The best part is being able to take it home to eat. Their prices are competitive and affordable for the neighborhood.

I ordered for a first time personal pizza delivery today and what a disappointment ! I usually order a pie of Sicilian Special and it's always absolutely delicious! Today we wanted different pizzas so for a first time I ordered two personal pizzas. Grandma's personal pizza & Marabella personal pizza. Grandma's was dough with smeared tomato sauce and few pieces of mozzarella cheese slapped at the top. The pizza was dry and chewy HORRIBLE! My friend took a bite and spit it out couldn't eat it. I called the place really upset and asked the delivery man to come pick up the pizza I got very bad attitude from the manager schooling me what Grandma's is. I've been ordering pizza and eating at Marabella for more than 15 years. This was horrible experience I had the manager telling me that I should've ordered slices if I wanted the original taste of Grandma's instead of personal pizza. My question is : Why do you offer personal Grandma's if you can't execute the taste of a big pie? When I said that I'm disappointed from them the manager told me that they are disappointed in me. How do? I'm your loyal customer for more than 15 years and you are disappointed really? Poor customer service! Great pizza but do not order personal slices! I am not sure if they will credit my credit card and after the convention I had I am not planning to bother . I'll look at this as a wasted $28 tip on horrible pizza! You decide if you want to deal with business like this. I'm sure I'll have to look for new pizza joint. I'm attaching photos to be the judge of their Grandma's personal dried out pizza. I'm posting a photo of the original Grandma's vs what they delivered!

Pizza in New York - what can you say? I definitely have my favorites, like Fat Sal's in Hell's Kitchen and Cassino in Long Island City. Marabella's pizza is good, pretty much your run-of-the-mill NY pizza. It's tasty and they're constantly making pies as it seems to be the only pizzeria at this end of Greenpoint Ave. The place is pretty busy as it's known as a good pizzaria, and I agree. They also offer a selection of Italian pastas and sandwiches to boot, and at the price, there's certainly nothing to complain about. Whenever I have a pizza craving and I'm at home, Marabella's certainly fits the bill.

When you walk into Marabella Pizza, it looks and smells the way a New York pizzeria should. On my visit, I ordered one slice of regular Neopolitan pie and a slice (square) of their grandma's pie. The regular slice passed most of the tests that make ANY real New York style pie better than pizza anyplace else. However, I found the sauce to be a little too sweet and the crust didn't have quite the right "chew"; it broke off too easily. Also, when folded, the bottom of the crust cracked instead of just folding. As for the grandma's slice (plum tomato sauce on top of the cheese, not under it), it too had sweeter than usual sauce, a cracker-like crust, and not much cheese. Marabella has been around for years, but it's obvious that the original owners took the recipes with them. While this would be a great pizzeria in Milwaukee or Miami, it's average at best for New York City.

The pepperoni pizza was average. Pesto with Ziti was dry and not much flavor. The wings were average flavor but small on size. We would not order from here again.

My favorite pizzeria in NYC... not only is the pizza super good, but the family establishment has been there since even way before my childhood! I grew up on this place and the food is great & they will never forget a familiar, friendly face & that is why it's so memorable. Picture walking into your favorite uncle's kitchen for a snack and he smiles and hands you a slice... LOVE YOU GUYS!

I can officially say I've tried all the pizza in the hood (I've lived here for quite some time) and Marabella ranks the best. The pizza is thin, appropriately topped and not heavy (as it should be!). It's consistently spot on. Plus, The guys who work here are SUPER nice, always smiling and really sweet. Great neighborhood spot.

I ordered chicken wings to be delivered. I requested bleu cheese to go with the wings. Much to my surprise, and without my authorization, I was charged $1.25 for the bleu cheese. I immediately called the restaurant. I told the man I thought $1.25 was excessive. He began screaming at me that "Bleu cheese isn't free. If you want it you have to pay for it." In the first place bleu cheese IS free when you order wings in virtually every restaurant I know. Second of all I was willing to pay for it just not $1.25. At the end of our "discussion" (ie him screaming at me and not listening to a word I said) the man hung up on my face. This place hasn't the faintest clue what the term "customer service" means. Dine here at your own risk knowing that if you have a problem you will be yelled at and insulted by being hung up on.

This place is the absolutely worst pizza place in Sunnyside. I'm sad for everyone who gave this place rave reviews.

We order from them all the time and the pizza is amazing. I wanted to order my roommate a birthday for his birthday (I was out of town). I ordered on seamless and asked them to just write happy birthday on the box. Some awesome person went above and beyond and did this!!!

Terrible. I ordered a grandma and got an ice cold margarita pizza. Had I known, is not jade spent $30 bucks on a delivery and gotten a $3 slice down the street. Pathetic. Caesar salad was standard pizza place salad

Good old style pizza. It's a tiny old style pizzeria from the 80s. Regular slice was very good, I'd give it a 7.9. They also have a pizza bread chicken sandwich, that one was excellent, I'd give it a 9.2.

I grew up 2 blocks away from Marabella pizzeria and even though I've tried what seems like hundreds of places since moving, this place will always hold a special place in my heart. Their pizza is great but their penne alla vodka and chicken focaccia is out of this world!

The place itself can be very relaxing and chill but also busy at times. Reasonable prices and the slices are perfectly sized. Staff members are professional and chill.
