"I live right around the corner. I've been going there for over 10 years. It is true vera pizza Napolitana. It's all Italians. it's the place for me when I need pizza and I just want to taste Italy. And the whole staff knows me—I get a seat when I want. I always get the mascarpone without strawberries in it for dessert. And sometimes I get pesto gnocchi. If I don't feel like gnocchi, I just ask the waiter if he can do it with spaghetti, because they don't have linguine. It's a perfect place to hang out if you want just a slice of Italy. They say Italians come to New York, they try all the New York food, and after three days, they miss their own food so they come straight to Ribalta. And then at like 11 pm on Friday and Saturday nights, it turns into a disco club. I literally live there." - brennan carley
"Ribalta is offering all of its Neapolitan-style pizzas—from the marinara that’s like a bread-bowl of tomato soup to one with speck, burrata, and zucchini puree—for takeout or delivery daily from 12pm-10pm" - team infatuation
"Ribalta’s Neapolitan pizzas are available for pick-up and delivery between Washington Square Park and 17th Street, and 2nd and 7th Avenues. Call 212-777-781 to get your pies." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"Ribalta is usually a Neapolitan restaurant where you’ll find pizza, paccheri with veal ragu, and plenty of Italian wine. But when there’s soccer to be watched, especially if an Italian club is involved, its outdoor patio on 12th Street feels like a cafe near the Stadio San Paolo, or at least a sports bar in NYC." - matt tervooren
"If you’re looking for pizza near Irving Plaza and want to actually sit down, try Ribalta. This place is pretty big, sometimes puts french fries on pizzas, and usually has a soccer game projected onto the wall. Also - they can do all of their pies with homemade gluten-free crust, if that’s important to you or whoever you’re eating with." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
