Umberto's Of New Hyde Park

Some of the best pizza ive ever had. Worth the drive from wherever youre from. Nice crust. Cheese. Sauce ✅️. Passes all the tests and sets the golden standard for a proper pizza.

SO LEGIT, it’s insane! Place is an icon. My ‘high-water’ benchmark for great pizza anywhere in the world I eat pizza, full stop. Classic old school Italian family dining joint - eat-in, take-out or deliver. Just so so so so soooooo very good!

Best pizza ever!! We are from Pa and every time we go to Long Island, we have to stop here. This is the best pizza I’ve ever had, the grandma style is my favorite and don’t forget to get dessert the Nutella donuts are amazing.

Everytime I'm in town we stop here, it's my second stop other than when I stop at home to drop my clothes and car off. Sicilian, grandma, broccoli rabe and sausage, baked ziti, veal parmigiana...everything. is. so. good! Best place to people watch while you have a slice, never a bad attitude, always delicious.

Returning customers welcomed with a friendly smile. New customers forced to wait until all tickets have cleared from the returning customers. If it is your first time be prepared to wait 2+ hours for your entrees. Appetizers came out on time, but they have largely fallen short. Customers watch as those seated 20 minutes after them receive their pasta dish before they do.

Every year in January, our family gets together to start the year off and we order food for the informal gathering. We recently placed an order with Umberto's New Hyde Park, and once again, they never disappoint! We ordered small pizza's and a ceaser salad and asked for it to be delivered at a specific time. They were right on time with the delivery and the pizza's were hot and delicious (they made many types) - and the ceaser salad fresh with dressing on the side. Big KUDOS to Umbertos and their great staff for always providing the best in food and service. We highly recommend Umbertos for dining in or take-out - they are truly one of the BEST!

Umberto's is such a classic Italian spot and I don't know why I haven't tried it until now! Had reservations made for a large group on a Monday night thinking that it probably didn't really need to be made, but it was actually packed when we arrived, so I'm glad we had it. This specific location has both a pizzeria and a restaurant, so you can really go just for the pizza or their full menu. In the beginning, I felt like we were being rushed to order..the staff came by 3 times in a span of like 10 minutes to try to get our order in. The food took a while to come out though. I love their bread basket! They had a mix of garlic knots and regular white bread. The garlic knots were so addicting. We, of course, had to start with some fried calamari, baked clams, and Grilled Portuguese Octopus. The fried calamari was crispy, simple and paired great with the sauces. Baked clams were good too; nothing outstanding but it was a good started. The octopus had a nice char to it and I liked the hummus, roasted potatoes, and chorizo that came with it. One of their specials for the night was a seafood pasta with a tomato sauce. There was a lot of stuff in. The seafood was decent, but the lobster meat was mushy and didn't taste fresh. I think the pizzettas were a favorite throughout the night. The pies are on the smaller side and meant to only serve 2, so we definitely ordered a lot. The Parma and Margherita options were so good! We also tried the Tortellini Bolognese; there was a lot going on in there, but it all tasted delicious together. I would recommend Umberto's to anyone looking for a good Italian restaurant.

Been going here, gotta be 35+ years. Always great! Best baked clams around!!

Ordered take-out from Umberto's on a Saturday night- easy to order, helpful staff over the phone and food was ready on time. Food: 1 Veggie pie- Good flavor in the sauce and veggies were well cooked. It's a good option but not my favorite option there. 1 Grandma pie- My in-laws come from Vermont to visit us and we always have to get a grandma pie from Umberto's. It's good every time. 2 vodka slices- This is my favorite of the pizzas at Umberto's and my favorite vodka slide locally. The flavor of the sauce is excellent, it has the perfect amount of cheese and the crust is cooked perfectly. 1 Greek salad- standard, good 1 Portabella, chicken asparagus salad- This is my favorite salad. The portion is pretty big and can be shared easily. It comes with a lot of grilled portabella, chicken, asparagus, fresh mozzarella and caramelized onion over greens and tomatoes. The dressing is a classic creamy balsamic. **Didn't take pictures because everyone had already started eating by the time I got there.**

Grandma broccoli rabe sausage is soo good. Love this place! A must try in LI. Do yourself a favor and go there when in youre in the area

My wife and I wanted to take some very good friends of ours out to dinner. We found out they have never been to Umbertos of New Hyde Park, so we decided to go there. We couldn't have picked a better place. The restaurant, itself, is beautifully designed but very welcoming and casual. They offer a wide variety of authentic Italian dishes from appetizers to salads and the entrées. Most styles of dishes offer choice of chicken or veal. In addition, there is a wide variety of freshly made pasta dishes. And portions are generous! Everything we had was delicious. In fact, the couple that we went with love shrimp scampi and both remarked that the scampi there was some of the best they have ever eaten! Can't say enough about the staff. Everyone, from the hostess to the wait staff were friendly and accommodating. A big thank you to Juan Carlos, the bartender. He was fantastic, offered great recommendations off the menu and really made us feel at home. If you're looking for a great meal and relaxing atmosphere, Umbertos of New Hyde Park is the place to go.

The service at Umberto's is excellent! The staff is polite and attentive, going above and beyond to provide a wonderful eating experience. We had an amazing experience yesterday . The food was absolutely fresh , tasty , delicious ...

I've been to Umberto's before while doing Uber deliveries, and it seemed like a nice place with good food and great service. Today was my first visit with my wife because we were craving brick oven pizza. We were seated in the middle of the restaurant, and as I looked around, I noticed there was no visible brick oven. I started to wonder if they actually had the kind of pizza oven I wanted. Despite my doubts, I ordered the margherita brick oven pizza, and it was delicious. The service was excellent too; they were very attentive and kept refilling our water glasses, which I appreciated. However, I couldn't shake the feeling that there wasn't a true brick oven here. Towards the end of our meal, after paying the bill, I asked to speak to the manager. I explained my concern about the absence of a brick oven. The manager confirmed that while they don't use a traditional wood-fired brick oven, they do have a specially made oven with a brick base where the pizzas are cooked. He showed me how it works and acknowledged that it might not meet everyone's definition of a brick oven. Despite this discrepancy, I still enjoyed the experience. The food was great, service was attentive, and the restaurant offers ample parking and a nice outdoor dining area. I would consider coming back, but just be aware that they don't use a traditional wood-fired or fire brick oven, which might matter to some pizza enthusiasts like myself I'm not giving this place a 5-star rating because they don't have an actual brick oven. Apart from that, everything else was great.

Favorite pizza of all time! My family always makes a stop here when we come to New York!

Umberto's pizzeria has been a Staple since 1965 and it is the home of the Grandma slice, which I did not try but will on my next trip. The regular slice was almost perfect and much better than your average Long Island pizzeria. The buffalo chicken slice was a very heavy slice in weight and also taste. The chicken was not very spicy, but it was good. I don't think I would try it again and this Sicilian was very good. I highly recommend this pizza joint for any pizza lover out there.

Haven't been here in years. We made a reservation for a very large group of 14 and when we arrived they couldn't seat us for like 30 minutes because they wanted to seat us in two different tables. I wish they would have mentioned something when we made the reservation. In the end we sat at two adjacent tables on the first floor. The food is always delicious. I ordered the chicken Sorrentino and boy was that tasty.

Ordered a Sicilian pie and a grandma slice on a quiet Wednesday night 5/15/24. The bread in the basket was hard. The service was lacking and our order took exceptionally long considering it wasn't even busy. However, the pie was delicious and cooked as requested.

Top grandma slice. Perfectly crispy, good sauce and fresh cheese. I don't know why you would get anything else there. Tried the regular too but it was a little too thick for me.

Easily the best pizza on Long Island, and that's coming from someone whose entire family was born in Italy. My friend and I ordered a Sicilian pie and it was cooked so quickly. The flavor was delicious, the sauce was perfect and not too sweet. The staff was super friendly and the service was great. On a Friday, this place is slammed, so I recommend coming early. 10/10, worth the visit.

What looks to be a big chain is actually quite lovely. We sat in the restaurant/take-out area and were able to sit at a table and order slices and wine. Love that you can order slices at the table and aren't required to order a full pie. The grandma lives up to the hype, not too thick, sauce was solid and the right amount of cheese. We also enjoyed the regular slice. I'd definitely pick up a slice again if I'm in the area.

We were visiting family this weekend and in the spirit of our summer pizza challenge, my husband said the kids had to try the famous Umberto's in New Hyde Park. Umberto's is well known in NY and LI with many locations but I have been told the New Hyde Park location is the original. We stopped in to pick up a variety of pizzas to try from full pies to a few various slices. Gotta try a little bit of it all, right? Well I can tell you they had a steady stream of customers at the early 11am hour. They were beyond friendly and helpful. Since we walked in and placed a large order, they told us it would be about 20 minutes. As we chatted and waited, they offered us free slices of their famous grandma pizza "just as you wait"- HOW NICE is that?? Extremely nice and man did it get us excited to have more. We loved the pizzas- to pick a favorite would be hard. One of my kids said the sicilian, the other said the plain cheese. I think if I had to pick mine wound be the vodka slice as their vodka sauce is sooooo good! But honestly all of it was great. You really can't go wrong- did I say their ricotta was heavenly too? Well it was. I could see a vodka pie with ricotta and spinach as my next try.... Oh I think it would be heaven! My kids already asked if next time we are visiting family in LI if we can drive (vs ferry) so we can pick up more pizza on our way home. That says it all my friends- taking the route of higher traffic and a longer ride home for amazing pizza is worth it in the eyes of my young ones and shows they give Umberto's the 5 stars it deserves!! Many thanks for the wonderful pizzas and your hospitality Umberto's!!!!

Absolutely delicious. My favorite location thus far following lake grove!! From the rice ball to the perfectly cooked pizza. The combination couldn't have been better. Very vibrant vodka taste which I appreciate. Crush has the perfect crunch.

Grandma pizza with toppings was absolutely delicious! Wish I could bring some on my flight. Look forward to my next visit.

I enjoyed the half Cesar's salad and the grandma pizza. The restaurant is very nice and has a family atmosphere.. The waiter was OK and spoke some English, but it appears he forgot to bring us the bread knots that everyone else enjoyed.

Went there Saturday for dinner the usual wait staff was there but the vibe was different. Especially the arrogant manager in the dinning room, he was rude and disrespectful. Also the food is not what it used to be, the portobello mushroom salad was lacking portobello mushrooms, the fried calamari was overcooked. The penne aka vodka was more tomato based and red rather than the usual lighter cream sauce. The eggplant rolatini was not baked fully and was hard in texture, the 2 other pasta dishes also lacked flavor. We also noticed the usual pizza guys in the front left and are replaced with new faces. My feeling is the owners sold and this new people running this place are on their way down and we are very disappointed as we have been coming here for over 20 years thank you Umberto for the many memories but no more.

The food was very good, but I have to give this restaurant one star, because everything else was awful! The atmosphere was cold. The music wasn't anything you'd want to listen to in an Italian restaurant, especially when eating. It was more like throbbing club music. The service was an abomination! The waiter was so unfriendly and seemed angry. Then a very angry bus girl came to put out plates for our appetizers. She slammed them down & proceeded to grab all the bread plates, bread & the butter. I had a garlic knot in my hand; I was dumbfounded. We asked a busboy to please bring more bread, but waited a ridiculously long time and finished our appetizers by the time it arrived. That being said, the food & wine were good, but everything else was just terrible. We won't be returning.

Been going to Umberto's New Hyde Park for years. Food and pizza is always very good. The staff is also very good. On my last visit, I had the Chilean Sea bass special. It was very good, however, at $42, it should have come with some sort of side dish. While the fish itself was very tasty, It's not a very filling dish. I literally finished my fish dish in about 5 minutes. We did have the mussels with white sauce as an appetizer (also very good) and my wife had the chicken Cacciatore (very good), which came with a side of pasta. I would recommend the fish dish, but if they don't add a side dish to it, I would suggest you order a side dish. I have to give a shout out to our server John T, who is excellent. He's very attentive and answers any questions that you may have. Plus, if you have a question about a dish, and he's not quite 100% about the answer, he will go and ask the kitchen just to make sure that he answers you question correctly.

When I first walked in as I'm taking photos this lady asked me "they wouldn't believe you were here" mind you I do not know her but I replied this is for my YELP review and she went back into her shell lol. Umbertos in Huntington and Plainview has good pizza but here not a so much lol. My man enjoyed the pepperoni but this is my review lol. I'll come back to try a pasta dish to see if that helps increase my rating. Oh and for anyone picking up when you walk in go to the back do not stand on that long line in the front. As for ambiance the outside looks more entertaining than inside.

Umberto's will always have a special place in my heart as it's a neighborhood pizza joint that my family and I have been going to for years. Every server there has fantastic hospitality and the food never disappoints. The calamari and Grandma's pie are up there as my favorites. All in all, we're lucky to have had Umberto's as an establishment for all these years and many more to come!

Came for a christmas party last night. I basically needed to be rolled out of here because the food kept coming and I couldn't stop myself. For appetizers we had mozz sticks, rice balls, calamari and grandma pizza and all were incredible. i loved that each dish had a different sauce. Next was a greek salad and the dressing was perfect. I didn't want to fill up on salad to be honest so I didn't eat much but I really enjoyed the bit that I did eat. Then they brought out the best penne vodka I have ever had. The most delicious sauce and perfectly al dente pasta. This was my favorite part of the meal. Finally for the entree I chose chicken parm. I tend to like my chicken parm crispier than how they serve it, but I definitely still enjoyed it. And for dessert they brought out italian cheesecake but I was way too full to eat it. Service was top notch. My soda was constantly being refilled, there was plenty of wine on the table and the servers were fast and efficient. Sorry no pictures. I was enjoying the party!

Been to Umberto's plenty of times but am finally coming around to write a review! Food is always a 10/10, no questions asked. All seafood is fresh and filled with flavor. So many pasta options and they have no problem taking out any unwanted ingredients. This past visit, we sat down right away with a reservation. The outdoor space has become much smaller for some reason, and had a good amount of flies/gnats flyings around. It seemed like there was only 1 server + 1 helper for all tables outside, who was clearly overwhelmed and sometimes forgetful, but that happens when there's so much to do! Will always be back for the food, though. Also took some pizza to go for home. The pizza is a must! This location is a staple to Long Island and is always a must visit when you are nearby.

Staff were all smiling and making sure we were taken care of. Food is delicious. You know it's good when the place is packed

This was the first time my husband and I went to eat at the restaurant side of Umberto. We were very disappointed from the time we walked in, because there was nobody at the front to greet us and when we exited. No one to say welcome and thank you for coming. Once we were seated the waiter came to take our order. We stared with the Portuguese Octopus which was salty hard and rubbery. Our main course arrived and it was not seasoned well enough lacked flavor. The waiter never came back to check on us not even to see if we needed more water. Unfortunately it will be the last time we visit Umberto of NHP. Adding we have never been disappointed with the pizzeria side since we order takeout from them. Not really sure where the disconnect is.

Have not been to this restaurant for many years. Since then, they had many upgrades and renovations. Came here for an event, pay one price and all was included, one glass of wine, salad, pasta, main course and desert for $40.00. I had a white wine, was ok, pizza for apps, cut in small pieces, was very good. salad was good, then a small plate of rigatoni with vodka saurce, this was very good, really enjoyed it. For main course I ordered the Chicken Francese, came with some vegetables and potatoes, small portion. This was ok also, one of the other guests said their's was tough. Desert was coffee and cheesecake with whipped cream, this was very good. Staff were awesome, they were very attentive, courteous, efficient and polite. Hope to try them again without a big group.

Very busy night this past Saturday as there was a private event upstairs. I had a reservation for 15 and while no one complained about the slow service, it did a while for us to get our meal going. Our waiter did check in on us a few times and apologized. At any rate, the food was better this visit than the last time I was here (about a month ago). The highlight of the night was the stuffed veal chop, paired with spaghetti and a bunch of vegetables mixed in. Everything was served in a hot pan, as if it was a one pan meal. Looked amazing and tasted as such. Two of my friends ordered it so I got a chance to sample it. My entree of pasta with beef short ribs was also very good. The pasta was al dente and the short ribs were shredded nicely. Great sauce on this dish. Another favorite was the sauce with goat cheese and pasta as well. The appetizer of the night was the spinach and artichoke dip. Very cheesey and very savory. Overall a good night out, just slow since they were so busy. On top of the three birthdays being celebrated near us on the main floor. The wait staff was overwhelmed but I think the kitchen gets the applause.

Restaurant with History, But Service and Food Disappoint While the restaurant seems steeped in tradition, my experience fell short. The service staff, though inexperienced, seemed inconvenienced by basic tasks. The penne was bland, lacking flavor and runny. The Caesar salad also lacked flavor and didn't include romaine lettuce. The clams were tiny and inedible. The biggest disappointment was the overpriced porterhouse steak, which lacked the pancakes typically associated with IHOP. Overall, this visit was underwhelming. Hopefully, no-one gets clipped.

Umberto's is my favorite pizza on Long Island. The grandma pie cannot be beat. The little chunks of plum tomato and the basil on top... YUM! When placing an order for delivery, it takes about 25 minutes to be ready. When eating inside, the waiters are always attentive and polite. There are also complimentary garlic knots and bread. My only complaint about Umberto's is the limited parking, but that's not really their fault. Be prepared to look for parking other than in the designated lot.

Best pizza on the island ! They are always consistent the pizza is always fresh and tasty if you love home style Italian pizza this is the place ! Trust me every pizza is good here and their pastas are so good ! The customer service is amazing they make me feel right at home whenever I come here. I love Umberto's Pizza

I went in to get lasagna for lunch and the noodles aren't done and its burnt. I feel they tried to cook them in the oven.

This is it, folks. This is the best pizza in the world. I have tried pizza far and wide, and nothing ever has compared to Umberto's. The excellent sauce; the flowing cheese; the crispy crust that crackles when you fold it. Everything about Umberto's is top notch. Suck it, Dave Portnoy - this place is the best, bar none.

We came her on a double date plus baby for an early Sunday dinner. Our reservations were at 5 pm and the parking lot was empty. The restaurant was not crowded. Service was definitely quick because by 6 pm, the restaurant was packed with families having dinner. The following dishes were ordered: Grilled chicken fettucine carbonara Penne alla vodka with a side of salad Gnocchi made with purple potatoes and zucchini Veal Francese. All four dishes definitely tasted very good. The gnocchi was made in-house, so I devoured my dish. The veal francese is one of their higher priced dishes, and it did live up to the hype. We have had the pizzas before, and we were not impressed. Fresh pasta dishes are the way to go.

We came here for dinner. I made a reservation on Open Table. We were sat right away when we arrived. The manager was so friendly and was telling us we were the only ones to make a reservation. The place was clean and the music was great. We decided on a booth. The waiter came over and took our drink order. We ordered The Islander, Apple Mule, and a Coke. My Islander was amazing, so amazing I had three of them. It was served in a fancy rocks glass. The Apple Mule was reported to be very good. We proceeded to order the meat and cheese board for two. The meat and cheese were amazing. It went well with the basket of bread which included garlic knots. We ordered personal pizza which was reported to be amazing and she destroyed it. LoL. We ordered the Chicken Vodka Parm with a side of ziti and the fettuccine Alfredo. The chicken was lightly fried and the sauce complimented the chicken perfectly. The pasta was cooked perfectly not mushy nor raw. It was el dante, the way my Italian grandma cooked pasta. The fettuccine was lightly sauced and served with grilled chicken. We then moved to coffee and dessert. One cappuccino and one double espresso with a side of Sam Booka and the Nutella donuts. Oh my God! I never had anything so warm and perfectly made in my life. Bravo! The price was right, they have a parking lot which is decent. The staff was attentive and the manager checked on us a few times. We will definitely be back. Highly suggest this place.

I attended a baby shower today. The place is amazing. We had a 5 course meal. It was delicious and the service was great. I definitely recommend for casual dinning or to celebrate any occasion. Absolutely a great tome had by all...

This restaurant is extremely inconsistent, they will leave items off or substitute items for delivery orders without letting you know. I have to literally call every time I place an order and ask for them to double check that the order is correct. Terrible customer service and a poorly run business

I live in Maine so when I come down we're all packing Umberto's. Best pizza around New Hyde Park, Dave Portnoy's review is no joke. Personally I get the pepperoni Sicilian and it slaps every time. Can buy slices and the service is fast. The price to quality ratio is incredible. Bless up Umberto's!

Grabbed some pizza here before going to a concert at the UBS Arena. This place was BUSY - even on a Tuesday night. They have both a sit down section and a pizzeria section. We called ahead of time to have the pizza ready to go. Ate the pizza in the car. GREAT NY pizza. Super satisfying with good flavor. Held its structure very well. Even when you get those middle slices in the middle of a square pie that has no crust- it was still a sturdy slice. Would come back if I'm in the area!

Worst service I've ever had. Went there on Sunday for lunch at the restaurant. Pizza came out fast for one person while others at the table waited another 30 minutes. No apology or reason given. Food was ok but definitely not with the wait.

THANK YOU and Happy Memorials Day. DELICIOUS DELICIOUS DELICIOUS For my hubby and I. 1 Regular 1/2 pepperoni 1/2 chopped sausage pizza. $30. Tipped $5. First off it's Memorials Day. Was told 45mins for delivery so I had a bowl of noodle soup to hold me over. 35mins later we get a knock on the door. YEAHHHHHHH. Another very satisfying pizza. Absolutely no complaints here. They call this a regular size but it's huge. 8 large slices. If they had a larger size it would feed a family of 6. Perfect portion of golden brown melted mozzarella cheese over not just the right amount of sauce that's very tasty. Now that crust. Yummmmm. Crispy edges perfectly charred and the thin crust bottom was crispy as well with just the right amount of pull. Topped with loads of thinly sliced crispy edged pepperoni and chunks of chopped juicy plump spiced but not spicy sausage. I had 3 slices plus hubby's 2 crusts. He never eats the crust on any pizza. More for me. 3 slices left for MY breakfast and late lunch snack. THANK YOU and Happy Memorials Day.

I called in this order. For almost $50 total for a penne ala vodka and eggplant rollatini with spaghetti, I was expecting to be blown away but honestly, all I could think of is mehhhhh. Food was very disappointing. Sauce with the rollatini was super bland, so was the penne ala vodka and the penne and spaghetti were overcooked. It tasted gluten free. I could make a better sauce than this and actually ended up having to just to save it. The pizza sucks for sure but I figured the other food might be better. Boy was I mistaken. The bread they provided with it was also unimpressive. This is what people rant and rave about? Please!!!

Amazing pizza and all Italian cuisine dishes Good service.. No problem with parking. Umberto restaurant is open now.

Classic pizza spot with great food! Love the grandma slice here and penne vodka. Buffalo chicken slice is also a fave, definitely recommend!

We had a private event here with about ~50 people. There was a preset menu of family style apps & pizza, a choice of three entrees, all coming with a pasta + salad. It was a ton of food but all was delicious. I most enjoyed the Grandma Pizza - it's seriously the best. The staff was super attentive and the event was smooth! Other times I've come here I usually sit in the pizzeria section. My absolute favorite is the pasta fagioli. I could batheeee in it it's so good. Generally always recommend Umberto's and love coming in.

I recently had a nice experience at Umberto's. My family and I had a reservation for a Thursday evening - we were sat outside in the corner, it was a good table but at times we smelt garbage since the kitchen and trash bins were right next to us.....but as soon as the yummy pizza came out and the smell of meatballs covered the trashy smell. The food was delish - highly recommend the Grandma Pie + the meatballs! Would go back!

I have been trying to eat healthier lately. I've started seeing a nutritionist. I love pizza. The nutritionist recommended I eat cauliflower pizza instead of regular pizza. Luckily, Umberto's has it. And let me tell you, cauliflower pizza is much more delicious than regular pizza. It's a personal pie. I asked for mushrooms on top. Service was quick too. I recommend coming here slightly before 6 PM. It gets busy during dinner. The place has a parking lot but it's small considering the amount of people who go to Umberto's.

WHAT A RIPOFF ! Order 4 of their grandma pies from Goldbelly . Price $100 . They are advertised as 10 x10 . THEY MEASURED 8x8 so each pie was 4 in short . In addition the crust was. paper thin NOT LIKE THE grandma pie we are use to . They advertised how famous they are and all the tv shows they were on . Phony pizza . I would have sent it back if I could have . I've been robbed

Ordered garlic bread horrible, minestrone soup bland. Chicken sorentina with linguine mush with a little bit of sauce. I guess I will stick to the pizza. The pizza is always great and the guys behind the counter are the best.

Food was amazing service was great as well. Family friendly. Try the cold antipasta
