P & M Classic Pizza and Restaurant

They haven't changed their ingredients at all it's nothing like being able to enjoy s childhood fav... that's rare. I remembered when they first open. Till this day they still will give a free pizza for every 10 pizzas you purchase. Keep your coupons they give you! It's how you get your free pizza.

Seriously good pizza. The crust alone deserves props : crispy, slightly chewy yet tender, with those desirable little bubbles in the crust's rim that form when bread is well made. My veggie slice was filling and delicious and fresh, and the staff are kind. Great, old-school NYC pizzeria atmosphere. Does a busy red sauce lunch service.

When I told my Airbnb host where I had just had pizza, he said, well you went to the right place. Some say it's the best pizza in New York City. I don't know if I could go that far. I'm not qualified to do so, but it is excellent. My oldest had a pasta dish with oil and cheese and said it was fantastic.

Old school pizza and classics like meatball parm, lasagna and other Italian pizza shop fare. I definitely like my Sicilian, corner slice with a bit of extra cheese, or if I'm feeling fat, some sausage and pepperoni. If you like old school pizza, this is a good place to go!

Love their cheese pizza slices—consistently delicious. They are a lesser-known neighborhood staple. It’s older looking when you go in but the pizza is great and in my experience cooked to pretty much perfection. Slices are nicely sized and for about $2.50 you get a great slice.

The best food in Manhattan. Empty plates are the best sign of customer satisfaction. I recommend the lasagna.

This place is a Hidden Gem, amazing flavor, amazing pizza quality and competitive price, the quality of this pizzeria is undervalued, fresh products, crunchy and delicious pizzas, real Italian flavors for more than 25 years in the heart of Harlem, I recently discovered this local pizza shop and I can’t believe how good their pizzas are. This is so good that can be ADDICTIVE. Hardworking Italians with more than 59 years doing pizza.

Very nice and humble place in west Harlem. The pizza is very good and the stuff members are very kind. As a tourist from overseas the experience was very pleasant. I would recommend to eat here if you are nearby.

One of the best places to eat in this neighborhood! My family and I have been fans of both the food and the kind people making and serving it for four years now! Just the basic pepperoni pizza is great, but the meatball parm sandwiches and especially the lasagna are all wonderful, every single time. They never drop the ball! The decor is nothing fancy, but the ambiance is great, with photos of family, etc. filling the walls. Highly recommended. These guys earn your loyalty, and there's always a warm, laid-back vibe. You can clearly see that they love their customers, and the customers love them back. This is New York the way it should be.

Pizza Taste the best within this community After Olga's closed during Covid I mourned the closing of her restaurant. But I finally found this recently and I'm truly grateful

OMG!!!!!! Yes I know this is a pizza place but they also sell baked BBQ chicken. I can't even put into words how GOOD that chicken is!!! Like slap somebody good good ( I'm not promoting violence just saying it's so good you will fight somebody over it lol). I always get a side of their yummy potatoes to go with it. You will not be disappointed I can guarantee that!! Also the customer service is always prompt and friendly.

Got a pepperoni slice to go and it was delicious! 1 slice is very large and filling. They are very generous with the pepperoni! Service is kind and fast. The crust is perfect, airy, and chewy. Classic nyc pizza

A whole lotta yes!!!!!!! I don't have a single negative thing to say about this gorgeous family owned restaurant. Nothing flashy or pretentious just good quality wholesome food. My new fave local slice & home made meatballs w linguine (HUGE portion) chefs kiss

Second time getting free delivery pizza from P&M and we love it! So much pizza for the price and super tasty with plenty of toppings (especially on their classic one for $27). Easy to call in and just pay with cash at the door.

Gave P&M a try after my local go to for a slice in the neighborhood, Olga's went out of business because of Covid. All in all, P&M is a good spot for a slice. I've had their pepperoni slice, their mushroom slice, and their Sicilian slice. The place has a very vintage feel to it as if nothing in the restaurant has changed since it opened aside from prices. But yeah, I would recommend giving them a try for a slice and supporting a local business instead of one of the big chains for pizza.

Oh boy. This pizza is the bomb! Paolo puts a lot of love into each pie. I order the large pepperoni with extra cheese. The cheese is such high quality! My buddy and I are always amazed at the richness and scrumptiousness. Perfect crust. The delivery is quick and the pizza always arrives hot and fresh! Also, the meatball heroes are super; ask for extra garlic. If you visit in person and enjoy your pizza in the restaurant, Paolo will be very happy if you sing "O sole mio" for him.

Service is wonderful. Pizza is good! Eggplant parm is amazing. They do platters for large parties and they're well worth it.

I'm glad I walked here. Professional pizza tosser in front, hot, crispy and delicious tomato sauce pizza. It's very reasonable for its high quality portion of food. I had to take photos before and after I had the bite because it was sooo yummy. There's a picture of pony in front and I kind of like it. I wonder who painted that ..

I think I'm just going to have to accept the fact that I'm not going to find good pizza in Harlem. After living in Brooklyn for several years, I was spoiled on some of the greatest pizza around, but now I live in the land of the Globetrotters where there is no shortage of, and I can't get enough of, amazing soul food. Maybe pizza has no soul? And thus no place in this neighborhood? That's what I'm starting to think. Tonight was our first call to P&M, and everything went smooth, but when the man handed me the boxes I commented on how heavy they were. I mean these were some heavy boxes. Unfortunately, heavy, wet boxes. I just did not have a good feeling about this. I read all those great reviews on this place. Several of them had "Best pizza in Harlem!!!" written all over them. IF this is the best pizza in Harlem, I going to have to stand by the very first line of this review. I respect everyone's opinions, and I've been victim of caught them on a bad night many times before, but this was just sad. For $41 dollars we got a large Napolitan(and yes, that's how they spell it on the menu), a large P&M classic special, Large garden salad, and free 2 liter of soda(which is sitting in our recycling bin, unopened. It's a high fructose corn syrup thing, did you know they use hydrochloric acid AND caustic soda to process that stuff?, anyhow...) I mean, what a great deal. The Napolitan was OK at best. Standard plain pizza with tangy sauce, semi crisp crust, but a bitter taste I attribute to the slight brown to black singe on the cheese. The P&M special, I ordered, because it sounded kinda like the chef's special. The must have pizza at this place. Picking up the box, I thought the bottom was going to fall out because it was so wet. And judging from the piece of aluminum foil and the paper under the pie, I assume they know this is a wet pizza. So knowing how I am, I flip out when I grab a slice and the toppings slide off and into the box, I grabbed a spatula to escort my tasty dinner to the plate. The pizza itself was a little less than OK, and it was hard to get over how wet it was. And as for the toppings, the pepperoni and fresh tomato's were good, the bell peppers were mushy, the olives were olives(lol), the sausage was so thin it might as well not have been there, there was a TON of onions, and me being a huge fan of anchovies, was disappointed at the lack of them, maybe one per slice. All in all, I'm REALLY trying to increase the number of stars I give these places. That little bar graph on my profile is making me out to be a very angry person, but I'm not. I swore off of what I call "corporate food" long ago. I did eat at Subway a couple years ago. It was a bad day, and necessity dictated the consumption of a $5 footlong. So I've been supporting family run shops for a long long time, but after tonight I'm starting to have second thoughts. Bad food is making Pizza Hut more and more tempting.

When it comes to pizza in Harlem, you typically have your choice of fancy-af places that make DOC style pizza or your so-so pizza /chain places. Especially in the "Hamilton Heights" section of Harlem, you're really left with Vittorio's or Dominoes. Boo. The NY-style pizza in this area was practically nonexistent. This is because P&M has somehow managed to stay off the radar for years. They're not on Seamless. Their website is questionable. But their pizza is good: Good chewy yet crisp crust. Not too sweet or canned-ish tomato sauce. The slices here actually resemble those I used to get as a kid growing up in Brooklyn. Bonus: They take credit cards and deliver.

Honestly, out of all of the pizza I've eaten in NYC (and that's a lot of pizza), P&M is my absolute favorite spot and in my opinion, the best pizza (so far, but nonetheless very hard to beat) in NYC! What's a New York style pizza? It's a pizza that's large, wide, thin, foldable, and crispy. P&M hits the description to the T. I haven't had crust that was crisp to perfection. The pizza is thin, yes, but not like those $1 chips they call pizza slices at random spots you find here and there. One slice doesn't look too filling, but you'd be surprised. They even have a special- $5.50 for two slices plus a can of soda. There are others, but I always go for the pepperoni. Yum. I'll be back. Again. And again. And again.

Paulie the proprietor comes with an authentic Italian accent and a genuine Italian thirst for quality from the old world school of Pizza making. Offering a full and diverse menu, in my opinion his standout item is the real, Italian, thick crust Sicilian pizza, reasonably priced and comes with a free 2L soda. Made fresh to order, this is the last place you'd expect to find the real deal in Sicilian pizza. Being Italian myself, and a one-time pizza maker, I should know what I'm talking about and I do. Paulie's Sicilian Pizza is one of the most best-kept food secrets in Harlem. To bring your experience over the top, have your own toaster oven pre-heated and toast your slices to perfection as you're ready for them. Oh, and he's a nice guy, too. Buona Appetito! Tony

Yummy Great service and pizza I had a slice and it filled me up. Try this establishment!

Personally one of my favorite pizza spot in New York City. Been a customer since they were located on 131st St. and Amsterdam Avenue. I highly recommend trying this spot if you're into pizza.

Walked by there about 2 weeks ago, to me this neighborhood seemed to be lacking a good, authentic and dependable pizza place until I came across this one! We ordered delivery the first time, pizza was fresh, authentic, arrived hot. We asked for extra condiments, sauce and everything arrived as we asked for. We decided to order again, we loved it so much. The second time we got pizza and a pasta entree. We went for the Alfredo Penne, which was so heavenly, sauce was just right, pasta was cooked just right, it also came with some garlic bread. In addition we ordered a pepperoni pie, it was consistent with the first one we ordered. We loved everything. Hats off to everyone at P&M!

Amazing pizza, lasagna, garlic knots, etc.. . Very authentic Italian food. The owner is so kind and the cooks are very hard workers! Will come back to this pizza place every time I'm in Harlem!

This is my son's fave pizza place. The guys who run it are sweet and friendly and treat regulars like family. The pizza is a classic NYC slice. The meatball parm is my go to dinner food. Hands down best in the area. Stop by and trying for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Small, local neighborhood pizzeria that makes a typical New York style slice (round and square). The sauce is on the slightly sweet side. No pizza epicurean delights here. Just standard fare.

We were looking for an authentic ny-style pizza experience during our last night in Harlem and found this place. I love that it's a neighborhood joint frequented by the locals. They sell individual slices that are GIGANTIC, delicious, and fresh. The owner made the pizza right in front of us and offered to add any toppings we wanted. The price was reasonable, which I appreciated after being price-gouged at many other restaurants during our four day visit. My only recommendation would be to update the decor, but that did not take away from our experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone!

Amazing staff, service and delicious New York style pizza. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

This lil pizza place is seriously mind blowing. The owner is super nice and everyones take the time to craft your pizza. I highly recommend the sausage pizza, it's to die for! Since coming here I constantly crave it at least every other week. The only thing that sucks is the hours. They close pretty early even on the weekend for a pizza place.

We went here because it is supposed to be the best pizza in Harlem. What we had is definitely in the top of NYC pizzas to my taste. I normally prefer thin crust Roman style, with sparse ingredients so that the crust does not droop, bubbly and burned on the edges. This was piled high, and I requested he cook it crispy. It did not droop at all, and was not watery in the center like so many NY style pizzas are. They also use a paper towel to mop up extra pepperoni grease from the top before they serve you. The crust had good pull, not the best I've had, but good, and the ingredients were fresh, abundant and high quality. I also ordered a half a chicken (~$6.50) which was huge and very tasty. When they packed up the leftovers, they carefully put each piece on a paper plate with two slips beneath each piece so that it wouldn't leak through the bottom of the box. If I remember correctly, there are four tables for four and one for two. The owner is from Palermo Sicily, and is friendly and gregarious if you engage him.

I'm giving P&M four stars not because it's the best pizza I've ever had, but because it's the best pizza in Hamilton Heights. We have some pretty bad pizza up here, and P&M is definitely the wisest choice. The pizzas are big and cheesy, and the sauce is tasty. Delivery takes about a 1/2 hour and the service has always been friendly. I wish they offered small and medium pies -- a large is simply too much.

By far the best, "classic NY style" pizza in the neighborhood. Super fresh ingredients in generous amounts and the service couldn't be friendlier.

Shitty pizza.... Point blank period. Asked for it well done and it was soggy and TASTELESS. Disgusting pizza

I've written it before but now I am even more emphatic. P&M is THE BEST PIZZA joint in Harlem. I went in for a quick slice the other day and was greeted by Paolo with a smile. Have you ever thought about where the eggplant comes from for that eggplant parm? Well, I think about these things and even in the best places, I assume it's frozen and they toss it in the fryer. Not here, my friend. It's hand sliced and carefully breaded and then pan fried. I saw them do it. Amazingly delicious results. Besides pizza they have tilapia and salads and homemade soups. All on pretty desolate stretch of Amsterdam Avenue. They give to local charities. They work 6 days a week. They smile all the time. Go.

Great pizza. Kind and fast service, even at the tail end () of the pandemic, when so many people are emotionally worn out. Thank you, P & M.

Love the penne la vodka and the chicken Alfredo either with or without chicken. Two people can eat with one order. It's the best.

The best pizza in harlem, honestly. Great service, big cheesy pizzas, and quite generous with the toppings. Recently had their Meatball parm, sericously it's as big as my head. And I have a BIG head. Really though, the guys there are so nice, delivery is wicked fast, though i always prefer to pick up and say hi to my favorite pizza guy! This place just makes me love harlem this much more. Please go, and support this local business!

P&M is owned by two brothers who are very friendly but I think P&M should not be known for their pizza because honestly their pizza isn't the best in NYC but it's all about their Beef Lasagne! The quality, quantity and service really does deserve a five star. The amount of cheese and beef really makes it worth the price. Usually takes two people to finish one of their lasagnes. I have ordered for delivery in very snowy days and they still managed to deliver fast. Anyone should make their trip up to Harlem to grab a taste of the Beef Lasagne. Sadly it only opens till 9pm and does not open on Sundays !

To be honest, this place isn't that great. The pizza's are okay.. not too bad but not amazing either. As for their baked ziti, definitely worth a try. Isn't the great either but for the amount of food you get and flavor I guess it's worth the $4. As for those Garlic knots, H O R R I B L E. Only had one and nearly choked at how strong that garlic taste was. I thought I'd be a soft good garlic bread but not at all. I don't appreciate that I called for a delivery and was told "we aren't delivering at this time, sorry" uh.. ok? No where had specified that there were certain times they delivered. This little place is definitely a miss, not all that worth it in my opinion.

When I think of Harlem, I definitely don't think of pizza. But P&M has totally changed this! Their pies are sooo yummy, it's hard to fathom that this is an upper-Harlem pizzeria. After a grueling hot day of moving (from 129th to 149th, I'm such an adventurer!) and a tiny studio filled to the ceiling with boxes, the last thing I wanted to worry about was feeding my (amazingly helpful) friends crappy food in a neighborhood I have never even really been in before. So I Yelped 'pizza' and lo and behold P&M popped up with stellar reviews. And for once, someone who said a place was the BEST was totally right!! (No offense, Yelpers, but we all have diff tastes and experiences!) The delivery was super fast and I was taken aback when the man on the phone said, "Do you want a free soda or a coupon?" I had no idea what the coupon was about and I figured the free soda was a can. NOPE! FREE 2-LITER or a coupon for a free pie (after you collect like 10). How awesome is that? Loves me some great customer service. Pie and slices are huge, hot, gooey and tasty upon arrival. And for like $12, can you really go wrong? PS- Only 1 size pie here, but it's so good I'm sure you won't mind.

I've lived here for 3.5 years and for some reason I've managed to miss this place - and it's right next to where I do my laundry? Like, how? So I stumbled across this place, eager to see what the reviews were about. And what can I say - they slapped me with a happy surprise! $19 for a three topping 16" pizza. Thin crust pizza, delicious all the way through. I'm so happy with the pizza, I could go in an give them a big kiss. Keep up the strong work - if anything they could even upgrade some toppings, like buffala mozzarella, prosciutto, salami etc.. But I guess if they did that, I'd have pizza every day.

Ordered delivery - the pizza was really greasy and not particularly flavorful. The cheese is the really dense kind that falls off the pizza because the thickness prevents it from attaching to the bread well. It also took about 55 minutes to get that pizza ten blocks. Not the fastest I've experienced in New York. $21 for a large with two toppings. I had the thirst of a thousand camels after I ate three slices.

These guys are not mere utility-pie slingers. This is a true old-school neighborhood pizza place like back in the day. The real deal.

Excellent classic NY pizza in Hamilton Heights. The crust was tasty, sauce and toppings just right. Great cold too! And if you wait for your pie you'll see an eclectic cast of local characters dropping by. Free soda with a large pie was a plus too.

Best pizza in Harlem! Amazing Sicilian pizza made by real Sicilians!!! So cheesy, sauce is seasoned perfectly and the crust is chewy and crisp. Free 2 liter with every pie...they know they have my heart forever!

We were dropping off ridesharers in Harlem and wanted to grab a few slices before we continued south. I found reviews loving or hating this place and decided to try it. The pizza slices were reasonably priced compared to the places that I've visited both in downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn. Cheese and pepperoni slices were $2.50 each or two slices plus a soda for $5.50. If you wanted to get other toppings, they added them to the existing slices and additional cheese on top. The slices weren't amazing but were decent. In addition to the pizza, I tried their daily soup. It was a lentil soup with carrots and hit the spot on a cold day. It tasted like it was made in house with love. From sitting in the restaurant for 20 minutes or so, I could tell that their roast chicken, chicken parm, and other entrees were the highlight, rather than the pizza. The neighborhood construction workers, handymen, and even the postman stopped in here for a bite to eat. I loved the ambience. It was old with central american decorations all over the place. They were playing some great ranchera music as well.

P&M Pizza is amazeballs. My roommates and I consider it a treat whenever we order. We switch up the toppings but the guys are always attentive to detail and deliver with a smile. Plus there is a free 2- liter with every pie. This is our favorite local pizza spot!

I live very close to this pizza place and I get pies from here at least once a month. It's always a very pleasant experience as people working here are very friendly and kind. I prefer to get takeout rather than delivery because of how close to me it is, and the pizza is made right in front of my eyes which is awesome! There is a good variety of food to choose from. They have spaghetti, salads, sandwiches, and lots of other stuff. But if you're craving a decent slice and you're in this area I highly recommend it.

Well the only reason I decided to finally write a review is because I really wanted time to deliberate before casting the vote. I had read some reviews on this place and they have ranged from 'holy crap this pizza is tastier than God' to 'so bad my cat would not piss cough hairballs on it '...very disconcerting. When I first ordered a pie via delivery, my pizza was falling apart. They did not skimp on the toppings but the pizza couldn't even be held up. I basically had to eat with a knife and fork on a plate. It tasted great but got a '0' for form. I was really disappointed. A month later I decided to order just a plain cheese 'Napolitan' pie. Once again, this pie suffered from soggy-in-the center-itis. What hurt the most is that the marinara sauce is really good and they do pack on A LOT of cheese. Finally, this weekend, I had a severe craving for pizza. I usually go to Olga's Pizza (formerly Paul's) for it is in my opinion THE BEST, but alas Olga's one Achilles heel is that they don't deliver. It was hot out and I did not feel like walking 4 blocks (lazy I know). I decided to give P&M a last shot but I decided to play it a bit different. I asked the guy if I could have the pie with half the sauce and well done because the last couple times it had been soggy. He mentioned something about the pie getting soggy because of the box. I politely volunteered that I've ordered pizza from a lot of places and that's never been a problem. Well, when the door bell rang, I hesitantly received my pie. When I opened it. lying inside was a beautifully made, soggy free pie smiling back at me. I let it cool a couple minutes because I wanted to taste it and boy was it worth it!. What I tasted was an exquisite pizza that I will be re-ordering this weekend. P&M is awesome tasting pizza! And now it is awesome tasting, ergonomically-friendly pizza! My next experiment will be to order some toppings using my new 'parameters'. I'm hoping for a repeat victory! If so I will upgrade this review to 4 stars ( it stands closer to a 3.5 right now). Side note: Their garlic knots are FANTABULOUS! They pack at least a pound of garlic into every order. Tastes amazing! Make sure to ask for some marinara sauce on the side.

Once I got past the 1 1/2 hour wait for delivery ("oh delivery is about 30-40 minutes") I was looking forward to some nice food. Lets start with the salad, hard to mess up that but these clowns did. Nice cut of iceberg I must say. Thank for forgetting the dressing too. The calzone......pretty bad. I asked for sausage; what I saw resembled dark turkey meat from thanksgiving. Then it was overloaded with ricotta and a small cup of marinara was on the side. The meatball parm sandwich was okay........not great. Residents of Harlem: might I suggest dominos.

Great pizza. Thank you making is pizza as you guys were closing up, delicious consistent pie, great ratio of sauce to cheese. Yummy chewy thin NY dough. Will definitely return if in the neighborhood.

Terrific New York style pizza and up there with some of the better known places in other parts of the city. If you are in Harlem, specifically the Hamilton Heights neighborhood, you can't do better. The staff is also very friendly and attentive. My wife and I have ordered take out a few times from here and have yet to have a bad experience.

One of the only pizza places I'm aware of near where I work. I've come here a couple of times and enjoy the pizza. However I realized that everytime I come here I tend to burn the roof of my mouth on the pizza. I particularly like their garlic knots here. The pizza here if pretty pricey though compared to what I'm used to.

This is what I'm talking about. You can bring a tourist here and rest assured that he or she is getting a real NY slice. This aint Sbarros.

Never got to try their food because they wouldn't deliver to my address -- which is only about 10 blocks away from them! WTF?
