I tend to be hyper-critical when it comes to pizza and Italian food, which stems from where I grew up and my ethnicity. One of my colleagues who is more familiar with Italian food in Queens than I am spoke highly of Sofia's, which prompted me to bookmark it here on Yelp and place it on my radar. I was in Queens recently for work, and one of our partners provided an educational lunch for us catered from Sofia's. What a wonderful coincidence, and I instantly got excited to check out some of Sofia's offerings.
I did a little research and discovered that while Sofia's is primarily a pizza spot, they do cater and have a wide variety of Italian dishes (confirmed of course by my the food that was sitting in front of me). We had a large spread: garden salad with mozzarella cheese, broccoli, lemon chicken with capers, salmon, eggplant parmesan, penne vodka, and a big plate of bread.
I tried the salad, broccoli, lemon chicken, and penne vodka. The food was good; taking into account that it was delivered, I thought they did a great job with making sure it was packed properly and that the taste/quality would last as it traveled. The penne vodka and chicken were on par with other good Italian spots I've been to, and the broccoli was really a standout. It was prepared with lots of garlic which it exactly how I like it.
Overall, I was impressed with Sofia's, and my experience with their food here has prompted me to check them out in person. I'm also curious about their pizza, so a trip is definitely in order. As my list of go-tos in Queens is pretty slim, I'm glad to add this place to my collection.
