Trufa Pizzeria

Trufa Pizzeria is a great spot to grab a slice of pizza in NYC. The garlic knots are definitely a standout, with a fluffy and soft texture that melts in your mouth. They are definitely worth trying, especially if you're a fan of garlic. The pizza itself is a good standard NYC pizza, which means it's pretty darn good. The crust is thin and crispy, while the toppings are tasty and flavorful. While it may not be the most unique or inventive pizza in the city, it definitely hits the spot when you're craving a classic slice.

I recommend! The pizza has a nice crispy, the dough is perfect! The sauce was amazing. The right amount of grease (if you’re from NYC you know that makes a good pizza) it was freshly made. The Garlic knots was super soft and so good.

It's a good NY pizza by the slice place. We ate here while waiting for Grant's Tomb to open. Slices are kind of pricey but also very big. Recommended.

Went in to try the cheese slice and it was $2.50. Couldn't pay with credit card. I think you need to spend $7 before you can use credit. The slice isn't even that big to cost so much. I know $1 pizza the tastes better. Not worth the price at all. Didn't have any flavor to me. I had to add seasonings. It's edible if it was the only option but I wouldn't return. Besides the service sucks. I got a burnt pizza and when I mentioned it, nothing was done to give me a better slice of discount. Just attitude and no apology. They shouldn't even be serving burnt pizza at all.

Their grandma slice is unmatched. Moved out of the neighborhood and think about this place often.

the best cheeses pizza i ever had in nyc

Now this is Harlem pizza I can get behind. Beautiful quality cheese, sauce, & crust make a highly satisfying regular slice, w/ a sausage slice for good measure & additional flavor. I wouldn't doubt if Trufa was about as well esteemed as Patsy's! I must admit that I'd walked past this place several times before noticing it.

I consider myself *almost* a pizza connoisseur. At the very least, I know when a slice is good and when a slice belongs in the Witness Protection Program. I have tasted one dollar pizza that can beat slices costing five or six dollars, so price alone does not impress me. Now, onto Trufa Pizzeria. Their slices are three dollars and seventy five cents, and I used to think that was a lot. I was wrong. That price is actually exactly where a **very good** slice should be, and this place delivers. The regular slice gets a five from me. The pepperoni slice gets a five. The sausage slice gets a five. No hesitation. They offer a variety of slices and the quality across the board is consistently strong. One thing I love is the amount of clientele going in and out. Because they are so busy, the pizza never sits around. Nothing is stale or sad looking. They have to keep making fresh pies, and when you catch a fresh batch, it hits beautifully. The staff is friendly every time. The shop is clean. The energy inside is warm and festive. It is small but surprisingly spacious enough that you can sit down comfortably and enjoy your food. I have not tried their pasta or larger dishes yet, but for the pizza alone, they get a **solid five** from me. There are other pizza spots in the neighborhood, but Trufa is easily one of the best. Highly recommended. Cheers.

As I've mentioned in other reviews, businesses/restaurants in the Morningside Heights tend to be unremarkable because of the frequent turnover of clientele/students at the university, which landlords of these establishments then exploit and get passed on to their tenants, restaurants. But enough ranting, Trufa is a decent pizza place in the area. Not much better or worse than Coronet's on the other end of campus. The few times I've gone to Trufa, I've gotten the Sicilian slice, the meat lover's slice and the mushroom slice. They were all decent. Nothing to rave about. The place definitely wouldn't make any must try pizza place lists like a Mama's Too somewhat nearby. Overall, there is not much seating but it's typical of a slice joint. I got processed fairly quickly.

I was actually heading back downtown after a Yankee game in the BX and just stopped her on a whim and appetite with zero expectations. Stopped in to test the waters and was happy to say the pizza did not dissapoint. Good quality sauce and crust with expected cheese portions for a good slice. Wound up eating three in total after I enjoyed the first and fulfilled a craving I was carrying all the way back from the BX. Not sure when I'll be back in that area again but if ever, I will most certainly grab a slice here.

A friend suggested this place; worst mistake of my life! Crust - chewy, sauce - nonexistent, cheese - no sodium. Donald Trump must have put a tariff on salt cause this place can't seem to get their hands on it. I've seen more sauce on my 5 year old's face after meatball night!

Trufa Pizzaeria has Great Pizza & Quick Service. My go to pizza spot whenever I'm craving the NY slice.

This is my GO TO pizza spot in harlem. Nice crispy crust, great ratio of cheese and toppings. I highly recommend.

I really wanted to like this more because it's close to where we live, but it's not great. The barbecue chicken was probably the best, but even then none of the slices were fresh, the sauce was reminiscent of cafeteria pizza, and the cheese was rubbery. The garlic knots were a disappointment as well since they were oddly not salty or cheesy and the ONLY thing you could taste was garlic. They've got a pasta deal on Friday's and I'm willing to give it a shot, but idk that I'd ever get the pizza again.

Friendly and fast service. Amazing pizza slices. Reasonable prices. Good variety of dishes.

This review is about the service...the pizza is ok. I ordered a slice and 1 order of garlic knots. The person after me order two slices and garlic knots but somehow got their order before I did. When I voiced it, I was told they forgot to put my garlic knots in the oven. It felt a little bit like discrimination but who knows.

Love this neighborhood spot! Food is delicious. My favorite are the garlic knots! The workers are always very friendly & helpful. Tip: if you're spending under $10, you'll need cash!

Really great service and pizza/ wings / Caesar salad! Delivered to my son who is law student @Columbia. Fairly expensive, but free delivery and they loaded the pizza with lots of pepperoni and sausage!! Delivered in less than 30 minutes! Lives very close, but am impressed!

Wow this place is a thousand times better than the place that used to be here! Ordered a few slices on the way home after a night out and they were everything you would hope for in a late night slice. Good flavor, lots of toppings, not too oily, and a decent price to boot! Great deal!

Itailian-Mex pizza spot that's really good. I asked for one Margherita and one vodka slice somehow I ended up with two margheritas. Even though I wanted to try their vodka slice my two Margherita slices were delicious. Highly recommend for a quick bite. You won't regret it.

This place had little going for it . My order was incorrect, it was cold when it got to me (and not like average delivery time cold- like ice cold), and it tasted stale.

My boyfriend and I ordered a margherita personal pie from here and OMG, it was so good. I love pizza but I'm also very picky when it comes to pizza. I was not expecting it to be so good. The pizza was seasoned with garlic maybe idk don't quote me and the pizza dough was sort of sweet. I will absolutely be ordering from here again!!!!

Great NY Pizza in the Neighborhood! Walked by this place recently and was really happy to see someone had taken over the older pizza spot that had closed. They did a really nice remodel, and everything looks bright and clean. We were craving pizza on Christmas Day, and fortunately this place was open. They were very friendly and accommodating--let us order a half and half pie over the phone, and offered delivery even though they were short staffed. Pizza was excellent--great thin-medium crust with a lot of toppings, and true NY style. It's not one of those "gourmet" pizzerias with toppings like brescola, blue cheese, and dates, but they have a great selection of fresh toppings, and it definitely hit the spot. I will be returning and would recommend to anyone looking for great NY pizza in the area. Also can't wait to try some of their other offerings. One thing to note is that it is cash only right now, unless you order through their website.

This is the second time we are ordering a margarita pizza pie from here and just wow. Just wow. I am so impressed. I grew up in brooklyn and always had my go to pizza. I have tried so many places and I have had good pizza but the crust, the SAUCE IS AMAZING. This is great pizza. Thank you!

Great pizzeria. Completely remodeled the old space. Super clean and delicious pies. Sauce is rich and flavorful!

I've only ever eaten their margherita pizza slices and love them. The crust is crispy and the pizza flavor is delicious overall.

Great pizza and quick service along with reasonable prices! All around win! Will def go here again. Glad they opened a pizzeria in the neighborhood again!

Decided to give this place another try. I ordered Hawaiian pizza. Made mistake of not checking before leaving. Got home and discovered they gave me buffalo chicken instead.

In all honesty I miss the Toms pizza and restaurant owners because not to say this new one isn't authentic but now it just feels like someone with money bought it out and just gave the community trash. Pepperoni pizza is alright if u like 5 slices of Roni on the slice. Same wit the beefy patty with cheese and pepperoni. So much cheese with the beef patty wasn't even sure if there was any. And finally after someone mopped the floor or whatever, my grandmother slipped due to not knowing the flow was wet because there was no sign. And even made her pay for the slices. The establishment before wouldn't have let that rock and that why this review is honest and brutal.

I FOUND GLASS IN MY FOOD!!! I have NEVER visited this pizzeria before as it was suggested by my dear friend of mine who lives in the area. As a first timer, I was COMPLETELY TURNED OFF! And EXTREMELY UPSET. I ordered a slice with black olives and waited a good 10minutes to receive the pizza for myself and another slice for my friend. They did not accept Apple Pay unless you spent $10 or more. I would have NEVER expected this from a restaurant that seemed cleaned and was graded an "A" by the department of health. The guys that were present tonight barely had a reaction when I brought it back for a full refund and barely gave a sincere apology. I would HIGHLY suggest to NEVER eat from this pizzeria! I would NEVER eat from here again and will not be RECOMMENDING it to anyone. THIS PLACE DESERVES TO BE SHUT DOWN! You are responsible for public and what you feed them and should be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS of what you are doing in the kitchen. #neveragain

Absolutely fire. The meatballs and the pep was absolutely gas. efficient and delicious pizza.

in a word - "disaster" for nyc when this is what you call a slice at this price point. just no

Pizza is so much better than former owner. There's some great gourmet pizza in the neighborhood but Trufa is the best NY slice around.

Horrible food was my first time never again the workers are nice but the food is disgusting

We ordered Trufa Pizzeria pizza tonight for dinner (through their own website which is simple to use, gave reliable updates, and doesn't take a cut from Trufa's profit like Yelp.) The XL Trufa Supreme was ENORMOUS! My husband and I wanted to have leftovers for dinner tomorrow night, but this might be two more night's worth of pizza. We were joking that my husband couldn't really even eat 2 pieces, as a barometer for how large an XL slice is. Anyway, it was great and the Buffalo wings were great too. Excited to finally have a good pizza option in the morningside heights/Harlem area!

Updating my review to 3 stars because I tried the garlic knots and didn't like them. They were very doughy. They're also not heating the slices as well as they used to and the tomato sauce on the magharita pizza is very sweet. Somehow the standard at this place has already dropped.

Finally a great pizza place in the neighborhood. This is an upgrade from the former pizza shop. The place is clean and the pizza is thin, crispy and oh so good. The wonder staff are the owners who combined have 20 years experience working in Italian restaurants. Friendly atmosphere and large menu where you can order a slice to Fra Diabolo seafood linguini to red velvet cake. Everything made fresh. My go to place from now on.
