Patio Pizza

From a different town and went to go see newphews basketball game, so we stop in at patio pizza after because we definitely wanted to eat outside. Ordered a Regular Pie some garlic knots. I tell ya I never ate 3 slices until today. This place makes sause just like my grandmother's. Simply amazing pizza cooked just right. Service was awesome, and the locals that ate there were so friendly. I recommend anyone passing by St. James to go to this place.

Messed up order. I ordered a full buffalo chicken pizza a while back, and I got a half buffalo chicken and half cheese pizza. I went back, and they didn't do anything to make up for it. I also asked if the price i was charged was correct, and she said the pizzas both cost the same. But in my head how would a half chicken and half cheese pizza cost the same as a full chicken pizza! But I let it go since it wasn't a big deal. But once I got home to try the pizza the buffalo chicken side just tasted like buffalo. There was barely any chicken. It was clear they were skimping out on ingredients on top of the fact they made the wrong order. I've usually had a good experience with this place, i've ordered slices before, and the environment and people are nice. I don't know if this was a rare occurrence but for my first time ordering a full pie it was kind of upsetting.

They don’t have the natural root beer but they push this garbage as natural. They lied to my friend and he took their word for it. Its filled with garbage and overpriced as usual. I respect the owner for my own personal reasons but this place is going down fast. You can not lie to your customers.

Our family has been a.patron for 40 years. But when they posted pictures of Trump we never went back. Business should not post their political views!

Great friendly staff make all the difference, elevating this local spot. Good old school Italian food.. great outdoor seating, open atmosphere, some shade umbrellas.

We Love Patio Pizza!!! Everyone is so nice and everything you order is Great!!!

Great pizza and eggplant parmesan is delicious. Very friendly, courteous and fun staff. Always a good time. Oh and love the rice pudding. Always a great time.

Our family’s favorite pizza place! Super welcoming and always delicious

My first time here had a glorious chicken parm hero. What I noticed right away was the heftiness of how it felt....some places skimp on take out heroes - but not here. Next I enjoyed that the chicken was gleaming white meat and the sauce was perfect, with just the right amount of zest to it. Looking forward to exploring more menu items going forward.

I take my elderly mother every Saturday for lunch to The Patio. The owner Guy is so friendly and personable. The food is amazing. The restaurant is very clean and cozy. I am not from the area I am so glad I stumbled across The Patio. Big plus Trump is a big supporter of this restaurant which even makes me want to spend my money there. Thank you Guy and your staff for always making me and my mother feel so welcome!! Also love the fact that Guy and his restaurant support all First Responders by displaying badges from all police, fire and military. Thank you for supporting us!

It's super clean and the workers are so kind. It supports trump which makes it even better. The food tastes amazing and the quality is great! Most of the bad reviews are just mad due to all the trump stuff. Like if you don't like the trump stuff then just leave. My family and I eat here every Friday and guy is so kind. I like the events they host from time to time.

LOVE this place. food always cooked perfectly, service is great and the ambiance is what you'd expect from a small town pizzeria (great)... cant wait to go back.

The pizza pie was dry and bland. I couldn't taste the sauce because I couldn't really find it to taste and then it was dry and hard to get through. I just moved to the area so I figured I would give it a shot, definitely not going back!

Had a party catered today from them, not The first time and certainly won't be the last. The food was excellent, never a disappointment!! Delivered hot and on time. Strongly recommend them!!

I used to come here all the time. Just tried it the other day. Pizza was not very good. Very skimpy on toppings and tasted old.

The BEST Most amazing Italian I've had in a long time. Will not go to any other pizzeria. The eggplant dinner is phenomenal. Minestrone soup is AMAZING! Shrimp fra diavlo is incredible. Seriously, you won't regret coming here. And prices are reasonable

I love this place and go here for seafood. You get a good honest meal here. The staff is always very good, I always look forward to going here. I expect it to be good every time and they never let me down.

Plain tasting pizza. Nothing special but the patio and live music are really nice! Baked clams said 6 clams on the menu but only 4 came out of the kitchen! The server blamed it on her giving us a catering menu. But she is the one that gave it to us! And to further insult us - she offered to ask the kitchen to cook up the 2 'missing' baked clams and bring them to us. But they never came out. We paid the check and left. Why would the menu say 6 baked clams but then only serve 4? And why would the server blame it on us ordering off the wrong menu?

My husband loves it and I cannot find the pleasure of other people enjoying this mess. Add on prices are ridiculous, obnoxious political crowd outside (when they were there awhile back), and food never packed or made the same way twice. Used to be a "good" place to go to but I'll travel further for the best. Sorry not sorry.

Grew up on this Pizza, and one of my favorites. Even though since I've moved from Saint James, I'll still drive 15-20min to pick up a pie from time to time. I'll typically order a half regular half fried eggplant. Patio has the BEST fried eggplant pizza period. Everything else is good too, pasta, hero's etc, and definitely the go to in the neighborhood. All around good vibes here. I miss the old spot, but totally dig the new location. I also support their views, but their pizza speaks for itself.

Saw this place the last time I was in NY. Basically another garbage dump whose owner believes that plopping tomato sauce and processed cheddar cheese and cow (as opposed to buffalo) mozzarella on a slab of dough and heating it in a cold oven for a few min. counts as "pizza." Not necessary to enter the place to gauge the quality of their signature product--only only has to look at the pics of it on these Yelp reviews (or on Google--see below)--completely identical to the stale offerings in the plastic casings at various gas stations. Technically, even that's unnecessary--the silly maga flag outside is a clear indication that the owner couldn't hack it in the city of pizza w/his product alone and needed to resort to marketing to the segment of society that's too dumb to try anything other than Domino's and McD's, so to THEM, it's (obviously) fine dining. Can't blame him, though, it WORKS. Should be a hint to any of you out there with zero culinary skills and a lump of cash--start your own junk joint :) Get the cheapest frozen dough, processed cheese, and tomato sauce in bulk, make multiple slabs beforehand, and freeze it. Then, when open for business, hire undocumented labor* to run the frozen slabs fast though a conveyor belt oven. Finally--for the most important part--put a trump flag outside and mark up the price 10x. Or better yet, screw the flag and just call it "Trump Pizza"--within seconds your business will be flooded w/rowdy, brainless idiots who think your stuff is the best in the country** *** simply because of it's association with their orange Messiah. Much easier to do this in Mississippi or Alabama, not NYC, where one has the burden of competing w/real pizzerias. Amazing the owner has yet to figure this out. * - Do not allow patrons to see the workers ** - Offer chocolate, pineapple, sausage, pepperoni, and extra (processed) cheese as toppings on one of the pizzas and call it the "Trump Deluxe" *** - Do not allow Gordon Ramsay or any actual chef into the kitchen to sample (or look at) the food

this place made my stomach hurt so bad and I was passing gas for hours. My friend works there and he said the kitchen is so dirty. don't believe this food deserves a good rating because it is bad eats. I thought italaina food was supposed to be good from here but it's trash.

We ordered the chicken franchise, chicken parmigiana and a side order of meatballs. The chicken franchise was amazing. The sauce was perfectly lemony and buttery. The chicken parmigiana was excellent. There wasn't too much breading and the cheese was slightly crispy on top of the homemade tomato sauce. The side of meatballs tasted like mostly chopped meat as opposed to breading and mixture of veal or pork--but we liked it. The food looked so good and tasted good that we forgot to take photos.

Excellent pizza. Service is always fast. This is our new pizzeria after living in Smithtown over 30 years

Delicious pizza, great atmosphere & friendly staff! Highly recommend if you're looking for good pizza!

The best pizza anywhere. Full selection of entrees. Great homemade salad dressing . Amazing service, kind people, really impressive commitment to the craft. Terrific indoor seating and extensive outdoor seating. Impressive to see so many young people working so hard and being so responsible to an employer.

Yummy! The best sauce, everything is delicious and the staff and owner are so nice! The pizza is so good and everything is fresh

Excellent service! Fabulous food! And the nicest people in the world work there. If you are looking for a delicious meal at a reasonable price, run don't wLk to Patio Italian Kitchen!!!

Great pizza friendly people and love the Trump support!!! Pizza is think and light with the perfect amount of crisp. Stands at attention when folded and sauce is great.

They seem to not care about the health of others considering the extremely large gatherings they have constantly with no mask wearing whatsoever. I can't tell you how many videos/pictures I've seen from these events with no social distancing or a single mask worn. Same thing when I've driven by during them. Let me know how that's still allowed? Not to mention after growing up in St. James for 20 years, I can't tell you how many times I've tried to give this place another try and each time the pizza has been even worse. The last time the crust was practically raw. Disgusting.

Been getting food from Patio for 25 years! My last 3 orders have been abysmal! Pizza slid off to one side, calzones.....flavorless, what's the deal?! Food has been going down hill for some time....Sad.......

Crappy pizza crappy service and crappy Owner what more can you say. The owner used to be a nice guy became a rude person and I guess his brothers and sisters were the ones that were nice and kept him in line

What a feeling when walk in door . Saw great menu , Pictures of prior patrons . Felt like family Never was given a bread basket at table before ordered just pizza . Patio did ( usually places see what u order if only pizza or hero they don't bother) This place was the BEST.Our pie came out hot nice and cheese They had entertainment WOW this made atmosphere. Nice social distance set up . Used front lawn chairs They support a political character and NOT afraid to vent it .cute fish tank . Do u believe some pass byers were jealous that's unbelievable Going back next week . Love is in the air . Surprise they said Pledge of Aligence w GOD in it. Unbelievable

Horrible. The man making the pizza is rude unprofessional and my salad was horrible! Literally my Roman lettuce were pure white! Stay away! I'm new to saint James and I will never be going back!!!

Nice little pizza place way out on the island. The staff is super friendly, even put some croutons in my salad for me :-). The salad dressing was homemade and they have a few out there slices. A slice covered in salad and one with BBQ ribs on it. The restaurant needs a major make over tho, a real throwback. So don't take anyone your trying to impress just go for some pizza in jeans. They have a ton of lunch specials for $8.95. Chicken parm and what not, comes with a soup and salad.

They moved a couple doors down a year or so ago and it was an amazing thing. Adorable dining room, food is even better, and the staff is awesome. It's my family's favorite to place to go. The owner Guy makes us all feel at home. It's one place that my whole family agrees on all the time. That's hard to find. Today I ordered penne with broccoli, mushrooms, and oil. Perfect! Nothing fancy, just tastes great. That's all I wanted. Prrfect

Fabulous if i could give it 200000000 i would i love the soup the chicken parm is glorious the best wait staff even the fook came out to say hi. I love this place my favorite restaurant i am out of town so it was rwcommended . I am so happy I found this GEM the crowd is fabulous I loves the sauce the taste is amazing .they know what they are doing here. My new spot xxxxxxooooooooooo

We've been frequenting Patio Pizza since we moved into the area because of the quality of the food, but the longer we were customers the more we felt like family. The staff is always friendly and Guy, as well as the rest of the staff, is incredibly family oriented. Whenever I go there with my 3-year-old son, everyone interacts with him and he loves it. Truly a hometown staple. Portion sizes are incredible, and ingredients are always fresh. Recommendations: eggplant parmesan dinner with spaghetti, pretty much any pizza.

It's... fine. The grandma slice is definitely serviceable, the other pies aren't that great. It's pretty expensive and there are much better and cheaper options on the same street, so I'm not sure why you'd choose to come here. Sometimes service can be rude but it's not a huge deal.

This place is sub par, at best! I ordered a bacon, cheeseburger pie. It had ketchup on it!!!! Who does that?? My girlfriend at white slice. It was cold and super greasy. They are having a Friday the 13th party and there is also a kids birthday party this evening. After the sub par slices, I was obviously still hungry. So I ordered deserts. I ordered chocolate cake and my girlfriend ordered a cannoli. Both deserts where amazing. However, it took literally 20 minutes to get the deserts. Never will I eat here again!!! Just awful

So we've been to Patio's Pizza three times now. We actually really enjoy it. We just moved to the neighborhood and have been testing out all the local places and this is one of the ones we've come back to. The pizza is really good, has great flavor and good crunch. The chicken roll was okay for us it was a little mushy but still not terrible. The past though was great! Definitely better there than when we take home but also it is nice to go on a Friday night when love music is playing. Definitely recommend and definitely will be back.

Decent price. Good pizza. Traditional New York Pizza. Caesar salad is good. Cheesy garlic bread was fantastic. Meatball hero is good as well.

This place is consistently great. From the salads to the pastas to the pizza you can't go wrong! Staff is super friendly and the owner is a great guy. They often have events which brings the neighborhood together. Make sure you check them out. A+

I am mortified how we were treated here by the owner. We were grabbing a quick dinner and our 2 year olds were being loud at the end of the meal so we were gathering our things and rushing to get out the door. The owner came charging in, loudly whistled at us and yelled "Get these kids outside!!" You would think a casual pizza place would be more family friendly! I have been going to Patio since I was a child, I will never return.

Food was meh but their over- the-top pro- Trump paraphernalia of posters, signs, hats, toys and what ever other they decided to stuff in entrance way was enough to make me sick before I started eating. What a disgusting greeting and an obnoxious way to start a business / client relationship. I'm not looking for an aggressive attitude w/ a facist racist vibe in a nice community like this. Keep your yourself.

This place is amazing! Best pizza. There grandma slices are to die for! Don't miss out on a great place. You can also dine outside.

This is the 2nd time l have ordered from this restaurant since l moved to St James. And l had it delivered. First off, both times they delivered they were fast and efficient and the delivery person was happy, polite and had a smile on his face. And he accepted his tip graciously. I ordered baked ziti, a side of meatballs and a conoli. The ziti was positively delicious and they even put ricotta in it, a fav of mine! The meatballs were firm and large and very nicely seasoned swimming in delicious sauce. And last but not least the conoli. l haven't tasted it yet but l imagine it is sweetly scrumptious and it was presented as it might have been ordered when you're inside and sitting down in the restaurant! They added whipped cream all around and sprinkled chips on top! It is evident that they care about what they create and present and the care about their customers. I am a new and solid customer. This is a terrific restaurant! You won't be disappointed! Order from here!! Emmylou. PS. Just tasted the conoli!!! It wasn't whipped cream as l had thought, it was more conoli cream!! And as l said before, sweetly scrumptious!

If this was upstate and not LI, it would be OK. But it isn't, and it's not. Pizza Meh. Salads sad. You can do better.

Worst pizza in the area. I would rather have a frozen pizza. Last time I had a chicken parmasean dinner, the chicken was rubbery. There is no skill in their kitchen. DO NOT EAT THERE.

The food and service is top notch! We've been eating here for years and have never been disappointed. The old fashioned customer service that is taken by the family is terrific! A really community treasure.

Meh. Food is meh, service sucks. We ordered pizza, chicken parm and a small salad. Pizza was chewy, cheese congealed. So many better Italian places locally.

Great family oriented style Italian food and dining. Pizza and all dishes are delicious. Summer time is extra special with outside patio dining in the heart of St. James.

Great heros and pizza and also buffalo wings that are a nice surprise for a italian joint. New location is smaller but no problem with parking and outside dining is a nice touch. I also buy my pizza dough for home-made for kids and its is always fresh and delicious.

Caliguiri's patio pizza is the best in town! Don't listen to the hateful lunatic liberals that say otherwise just because the owner is conservative.

I hit up Caligiuri's for the 9-millionth time last night. It is SUCH a great deal. Here's the run-down: Me: Iced Tea (unsweetened), Seafood Bisque, Lasagna, Garlic Knots Her: Iced Tea (unsweetened), Pasta Fagioli, Garlic-Broccoli-Mushroom Whole Wheat Penne, Garlic Knots. Food is consistently good here. It's probably 3 star good, to be sure there's better Italian food on Long Island, but there's no freakin way you're gonna get as much food for so little, and there's no way it will be as consistently good. The seafood bisque is just loaded with chunks of crab, fish, and lobster. I mean like there's barely any cream sauce in there, it's all protein. The lasagna is FREAKING MASSIVE. I kid you not, I ate 1/3rd of it. And it tastes great. The rest is residing in my fridge at home and will be my dinner tonight, and I couldn't be happier about that. Same thing with her pasta - lunch/dinner for later! All the above food came to less than $30. Insane. The garlic knots at Caligiuri's are some of the best in Suffolk County. And you don't even pay for them!!! Another great thing - it's a family owned establishment and they're good people. Many times I'd be returning home late from a work trip, and I'd call Patio Pizza and they'd stay open a few extra minutes to provide me with a phenomenal meatball parm hero, which always hits the spot. Without considering price, I'd probably drop 3-stars on them. But when you think value, those 3-stars is really 3.5 and worthy enough of a rounding-up. So four it is. Can't wait for my next meal here.

I grew up eating at the original patio pizza and i loved it! now that they have a patio its a even nicer place. The pasta fagiole soup was always my favorite too, its still really good. The pizza is great too, the sauce and the cheese is great, the crust is really tasty. Matts and Patio were always competing, for me it is now Patio no question! Inside is nice and they've got a bar too. Cant wait to come back.

The pizza here is decent, but when we've ordered other foods they have been mediocre. Their baked ziti is nothing compared to our old favorite place in Northport, and maybe I got a "bad" batch of garlic knots when I ordered them, but they were stale and flavorless. The worst experience I've had here and the reason for the 2-star rating rather than a 3-star happened last week. We ordered delivery - baked ziti for the kids, chicken parm sub for my husband and eggplant parm sub for me. I started eating my sandwich and something didn't seem right. The "eggplant" was tender but tasted strange. My husband checked the receipt (we were so hungry that we didn't bother to look at it, but honestly, we are usually pretty trusting that we get what we order) and I had been given a veal parm sub. I do not eat veal, I never have and never thought I would. I was nearly sick to my stomach. Sure, it was all in my head and not because of the quality of the meat, but still... Needless to say, I didn't finish my sandwich and my husband called Caligiuri's to let them know what happened. The woman he spoke with was sincerely apologetic and credited our account for an eggplant parm with our next order, which was nice of her to do. It does make me question the competence of their staff to make such a huge error. I have worked in restaurants for many years and while I know mistakes happen, that is a pretty big one. Veal is one of those foods that when people don't eat it, it's usually for a reason - not because they simply don't like it.
