The Astarita

Great spot for a lowkey, intimate birthday dinner with family or a casual bite with friends! The seasonal salad is a must. The arugula pizza was a group favorite as well. Thank you to Tina and team for helping host our group of 18– so welcoming, attentive and yum. Throwback playlist was a plus.

Just had eggplant parm and a huge calzone delivered. The best eggplant with ricotta that I ever had, and the calzone is huge and so delecious. Asterita’s is a must try!! Warm atmosphere and the owner Tina, is very friendly and attentive!🍕

Stumbled upon this pizza place after a stroll through Greenwood. The staff was attentive, even though we were there during off hours and the pizza was fantastic! We ordered the Mr. William and would recommend to anyone visiting Brooklyn!

Such a gem in the neighborhood if you like a really crispy crust, proper sauce and high quality ingredients! I highly recommend sausage pizza and mushroom with ricotta pizza. Delicious. Shared a pizza among 2 adults, 2 kids. Perfect size.

One of my favorite pizza spots! I love the Mr. William pizza and homemade meatballs. The service here is always so friendly, kind, and fast. There is ample seating inside and the ambiance is very peaceful. The outdoor seating is perfect, I can't wait until it's warm enough again to enjoy a slice under the fairy lights!

The laid back atmosphere made it easy and comfortable for dining with our kids, who are already asking when are we going back?! The pizza was absolutely delicious. Great sauce with a light and airy crust, you won't feel bad that you had four slices! The whipped marscapone on the Nutella pizza helped to make it the best I'd ever had. I will absolutely be going back very soon!

Both non vegans and vegans enjoyed the food here! Great staff and the outdoor seating is cute!

Ok so yes 3 stars for food!! Burnt pizza which you can easily see in pics. A very easy fix by trimming off the burnt crust. Taste was good and holds up like it should. Veggie pizza was mixed with margarita but the veggie side was too sogged up and did not hold up to the amount of veggies that were on the pizza. This was a group of 7 and my daughter said it may have been an off night.. it’s Friday it should be your best night. I saw other pizzas that had same look of burnt pizza and where the crust was left behind bc it was way to burnt.

I was blown away!! I had the Cesar, calzone, and a pie split pepperoni and marg. So so delicious. Really a great experience. The restaurant itself is really nice, the open kitchen, brick wall, and art on the wall really add to the ambiance. The service was out of the world. the Owners are very kind. If you are checking out greenwood this place is a great dinner or lunch spot!

Although the initial hostess & well-crafted calzones were amazing, the strangely horrible customer service I received from the server & busboy ensure that I will never step into this place again: * Server brought over my calzone and asked which type of seasoning I wanted after listing three. I politely asked to try all three yet after a long while she brought over none. I accidentally called them "sauces" when reminding her & she provided no acknowledgement but rather a rude correction "they're not sauces, they're seasonings" as she finally brought them over. * Tables are very close together, but server & busboy fly by the tables unaware they are knocking stuff over off your table (napkins, etc.). If you're going to place tables very close together to increase profits, at least train the staff to walk nicely. * Busboy brought over the to-go box for the couple sitting next to me and awkwardly held the large box in the air over my table an inch from my face so as to not bother the couple while they signed their check. * Busboy came by my table to clear it but seemed disappointed that I was not ready and awkwardly pushed the table down with his finger in disappointment before he walked off. * Server placed my calzone in an excessively large to-go box designed for extra-large pizzas not calzones which made it unnecessarily hard to transport. Upon asking for a smaller to-go box, the server strangely replied "It won't fit but I'll try to make it fit" even though the smaller to-go box she replaced it with was enough to fit two large calzones if needed.

Quick visit for some pizza! Amazing, super fresh ingredients. Each cheese had its own distinct flavor. I loved the tanginess of the gorgonzola, along with the smokiness of the smoked mozzarella. Service was quick and polite.

My partner and I had a magical evening at Astarita! We live a few neighborhoods away and it was our first time here. To drink, we ordered the Lambrusco, which was really good, and to eat we had the meatball appetizer and a pie with half vegetable/ half ricotta. It was a ton of food. Everything was so fresh and delicious and clearly made with lots of love and care. Our waitress Paola was so welcoming and lovely and we even got to meet one of the owners who told us about how this space is a true labor of love. We will definitely be back!

Family run businesses, especially restaurants that serve great food, with a friendly staff! The pizza and homemade meatballs are to die for!

I usually love this place but today is the first and last time I order from this place. The food is definitely better in the restaurant. My pizza showed up late, cold and greasy. The place is worth a visit but buyer beware when ordering for delivery. Very dissatisfied!!!!

If the thought of a thin crust pepperoni pizza drizzled with hot honey hasn't crossed your mind before you opened up this app, prepare to have your world ROCKED. The Mr. William is as sinfully delicious as it sounds, and I'm not ashamed to say that after first trying it while sharing with friends, I have since returned to order full ones that I enjoy over the course of multiple days because I must exert SOME control. That said, The Asterita has so much more deliciousness on the menu. The meatballs are scrumptious and MASSIVE. Even the salad is excellent. And it's a gem of a spot - intimate in size - with charming decor and staff. The menu, like the space, is small but hella effective in its mission to provide satisfyingly good eats in a chill environment where you can chat and chew at a decent volume (although you may get a little loud from the excitement of your first bites). Enjoy!

What a cute, cozy spot for delicious pizza! I tried the margherita and it's exactly what I'd want: a great tomato base, generously topped with cheese and fresh basil on a thin, thin dough. Can seat about twenty people inside at a time and you could also order to go!

Such a great addition to the neighborhood. Excellent thin-crust pizza with the perfect ratio of cheese, sauce, and crust. Crispy, but with enough chew and flexibility. The pizza holds up well for delivery. What brings it over the top is the fact that people with complex dietary restrictions can eat their pizza! My wife has allergies not only to wheat and dairy, but also rice, which is often used in gluten-free crusts (even cauliflower crust). Astarita's cauliflower crust is totally grain-free! I typically get a regular margherita pizza, and she gets a cauliflower pizza with olives, anchovies, and a bunch of other good stuff. Support this new local business!

The meatballs were better than fantastic and the Mr. William pizza astoundingly delicious. Plus being served by the owner's daughter, who is on summer break from college, was endearing. Will be back!

Such a great addition to the neighborhood! We've long been spoiled with an ever growing number of excellent restaurants in the area but were somehow lacking in the brick over pizza category until now. Astarita has made the wise decision to keep their menu small and laser focused with a handful of specialty pies, a build your own option, a selection of very sharable salads and a Nutella dessert pizza. Can say firsthand that the classic Margarita pie and seasonal salad are great -- already planning the next visit to taste around the menu. PS. BYOB!

I almost did not want to write a review for this place because I selfishly want to keep this gem a secret, but not like my review will do much anyways so if you're reading- here goes. Excellent pizza- sauce:bread:cheese ratio is on point. Thats how you know its a good pizza. Good crust/bottom char, nice crisp and flavorful sauce/cheese. Calzones are amazing as well. Just as good IMO as Lucali's calzone. If you like Lucali's, Joes, etc..., you are gonna love Astarita. I will return soon for that amazing fresh oven baked pizza

Solid spot. Beautiful sunlight, lots of street parking, locally owned with hospitable folks. Pizza varieties are solid. Salad sizes are extremely large and filling. Calzone is massive! They now have wine and beer but still allow byob, I think?

This place is such a Vibe... Everything we had was delicious... We had half margarita/half truffle pie and Mr William pie.

If you don't want to trek to Greenpoint for Pauli G or deal with the insane wait at Lucali, this place is for you. The pizza is amazing, the service is friendly and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. We had the margarita pie. The crust had a good char with a nice balance of cheese and sauce. We also ordered the meatballs and antipasto. Nothing special but certainly worth ordering to round out the meal. Recently I tried farina, lots of hype around that place, and for me Astarita delivers a much better pizza experience. We will make this place a regular spot in our dining rotation.

Excellent sitdown pizza restaurant. A little small, service was excellent, food was even better. I absolutely loved their pizzas. Will be back as I just moved about a mile away.

Great new pizza place in the neighborhood. Small and cozy, with a small but satisfying menu that includes calzones and well-sized salads. The white pie was my favorite. The staff is warm and inviting. Recommend making a reservation as seating is limited.

Wonderful food. Can taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Service was excellent. Will be coming back soon.

This is one of those restaurants you wish you could give 7 stars to. Nice ambience, great wine very reasonably priced and the pizza is so so good. We also had the seasonal salad which was very fresh. Great staff.

Small and intimate chic pizzeria located right in the Greenwood Brooklyn area on 31st and 5th avenue! It's a must try and please save room for dessert and order the Miss Sofia. The ambiance is giving cozy and comfort for any pie off the menu. I will be going again and I look forward to seeing Astarita bloom all seasons long.

Went to the Astarita on a cold Saturday night. It was a great experience! The atmosphere was so cozy, warm, and inviting. The service was top notch and everyone was very attentive. The Caesar salad was delicious and the pizza was so fresh with a thin crust, and amazing sauce and toppings. We will definitely be back!!

A wonderful margarita pie! Crisp, sturdy and balanced. Street parking available.

Wow is all I can say. We are from Manhattan where they supposedly have some of the best pizza in the world. We were visiting our daughter and she recommended this pizza place. It was totally awesome. High quality ingredients, and cooked to perfection.

Salads. Pizza, Calzone!!! All Amazing!! Brought our own wine and had the best evening! Love this place and love Tina!! Fabulous addition to the neighborhood!!

Fantastic food and great service! They have good wine options and are getting a liquor license too!

A wonderful addition to the neighborhood that combines delicious pizza with friendly service and a relaxed ambiance. I particularly recommend the Mr. William.

This place is great , the pizza is top notch, salads big and they have more than one kind of other half! The crust is thin and crispy the sauce and cheese very tasty .The owner and servers are all very nice and the location is quiet and peaceful right across from greenwood cemetery

Astarita has consistently made great pizza and salads. We have been at least 6 times since they opened. Mr. William (hot honey and pepperoni) is delicious! There's a pie with prosciutto and arugula that is also very good! I'm not a crust eater, but I eat the whole piece of pizza at Astarita! We are so happy that this gem of a pizza place is open!

Greenwood Heights' best kept secret! We've been here so many times now that I've lost count--and we've never had to wait long for a table. The margarita and Mr William pizzas are consistently our favorites, and the staff, especially the owner, Tina, are so down to earth, friendly, and attentive. Feels like a real neighborhood place. Highly recommend. Tip: Make sure to save room for dessert as the tiramisu is out of this world!

Absolutely delicious!! The Mr. William is my favorite but there is not a bad pie on the menu! Fresh ingredients, great taste and warm and friendly atmosphere! I will be back!
