They are so kind 🥹 I accidentally spilled the whole oregano shaker on my slice and the kind man gave me another one for free! Sophia Loren slice and Tartuffo are my favorite. Pepperoni is also really good! Also, this pizza is really good. Its worth every penny! Very yummy chocolate chip cookies too. I suggest the tartufo or pepperoni slice :)

Skip the GF Grandma pizza here. I went against my better judgement and cheated on my regular GF pizza place, Mimi’s on 86th, because Williamsburg has a GF grandma pie. Grandma pizza is/was my favorite kind prior to going gluten free so I was excited and willing to pay the hefty $25 price tag. I was definitely shocked being given such a tiny box when I went to pick it up and disappointed opening the box. I immediately could tell it was dry, there wasn’t enough sauce and for some reason actually seeing the size of the pizza for the price paid pissed me off. I wasn’t a fan of the texture of the crust either, it was very wet and mushy.

I love coming here during lunch and after work the pizza is the closest thing to authentic Italian pizza I came in here today to get my regular order and I seen a guy that’s always working hard in there making a pizza pie for Valentine’s Day I thought it was so cute and took a picture. My guy Muli made the Valentine’s Day pie and he’s such a great person and very talented I think anybody that is in this area should try their pizza. Also everyone one working here is awesome love it !

I can’t say enough good things about this place and their incredible Bianco slice. If I could, I’d eat it every day for the rest of my life! I’ve tried many white slices, but this one easily ranks in my top three of all time. On top of the amazing pizza, the staff is always welcoming, kind, and impressively quick, making every visit an absolute pleasure.

This place is a hidden gem! The workers are friendly and the pizza is delicious. The Cup and Char Pepperoni pizza was the highlight. The pepperoni was crispy and flavorful. The crust was both soft and doughy at the top yet crunchy on the bottom, it was perfectly cooked. It’s a large pizza too! The Margherita NY style pizza was good too, but not as good. I’ll be coming back for the cup & char. Highly recommend this local spot!

The pizza is decent but if you get the slice it all depends on how fresh or is. We rolled in on a Sunday at around 4pm and unfortunately the pie was not fresh. I imagine this would be a great pie when fresh. Lots of options include two vegan options. The crust on the square pizza is quite good.

This is a pizza spot to other an take home. No sitting tables. We order the vegan pizza and it was REALLY good. You can order only the big pizza and it comes in square form. It is super tasty and has s lot of veggies and garlic! My only complaint is that the center of the pizza need more time in the oven because it gets wet and will not hold all the veggies . We usually put it in the oven when it arrives home :)

I really enjoy Williamsburg pizza! I think the locations I've been to have been pretty comparable. They're also one of the few pizza places that sell vegan pizza by the slice, which is a plus! My favorite is the vegan pepperoni! I do wish it were a little cheaper and they would offer their vegan slices as triangles, instead of square pizza. The service is pretty quick, regardless of how busy it gets. Sometimes the vegan pizza sells out and they don't make another batch, so get there soon!! The restaurant is a pretty small spot, although they offer limited seating. I like it more to pick up pizza, but if you don't mind tight spaces, it's not too bad to eat there. I look forward to returning!

Ordered delivery. Reminds me of Dominos except somehow both more expensive and stingier with cheese. Do yourself a favor and get Romas or Delizia instead.

Great location and service - fantastic pizza - one of the best in NYC - definitely guys working here know their trade - making pizza crust and adding right ingredients is an art - they are artists here!!! Been here few times before and always their pizza is great - tasty and crusty - the way it should be!!! Place is clean and well lit

(Takeout order) Some of the best gluten free pizza I've had in the city. Granted it's quite thin and largely overpriced for the size. I got a garlic topping with soppressata and the combination was magnificent. Since everything had a strong salty taste, the sweet hint on the gluten free dough was much appreciated. Definitely coming back as I saw there were seats around, and it looked like a nice quiet place to eat and chat!

margherita pizza (no idea if that is how it is spelled) One of my favorite places to get a pizza solid margh pizza. It's not amazing and it's lk sweeter than I expected? But def always down for a slice from here if I am not feeling risky enough to try something new.

Stopped in for a slice. They didn't have as many ready made fun slices as I would have liked. Only three fun ones with a few different versions of a marina slice in different variations. I went with a Tartufo slice. It was okay, it has Fresh Mozzarella, Mixed Wild Mushrooms, Rosemary & White Truffle Oil. They definitely mixed up the oils on this pizza as my slice didn't taste anything like truffle oil but like lemon juice, definitely not what I ordered but still pretty good. I liked that they had some seating in the place, was able to get a seat.

I am so addicted to their vegan Calabrese pizza. I'm sure their other vegan pizzas, and actual cheese and meat pizzas, are also great but the combination of vegan pepperoni, onions, and red sauce really hits the spot.

It's always FRESH!!!!! there ever was a pizza parlor that defined what a NYC slice should be, look no further! From grab & go slices and squares and even pizzas to made to order. Ambiance not too quiet but many empty table to chill.

More like 3.5 Stopped by for a few slices serendipitously one night and I heard some good things about them. Areas of improvement include - the reheating process could be improved as they didn't taste the warmest or freshest but I do get the sense that these pizzas are artfully crafted. TARTUFO - mushroom and white cheese ; yummy but I"ve def had better and I wished the mushroom flavor was as bold as I've had elsewhere. PAESANO *** - this one I really really enjoyed. The roasted red pepper is the winner here coming through with that sweet, roasty bold flavor as you bite a nice CRUNCHY crust. Theres structure to these slices. The best part of this place is their pizza's crust. The flavors of this slice were really good to boot. Italian sausage decorating it for notes of herby umami-ness. Not bad. May stop by again to try their other slcies.

i come from a family of pizzerias If you like your pizza on the thinner side, Not heavy , still fluffy and light with excellent cheese and very good tasting tomato sauce. This is the place for you Nice size slices! The service was very quick as well It's limited seating though.

Delivered to UWS and still amazing! Got the apple salad, Bianco and chocolate chip cookies. So so so yummy! It's a bit far but so worth it! Incredible meal! Will deliver again.

Pretty good pizza, I'd say the bread was very soft yet crunchy which I enjoyed. I'm usually a sauce girl I was iffy about the sauce but it all came together as I ate it. Super filling as well, definitely left me satisfied for the day.

The food is average for a pizza place, though they do have more options of different types of pizza. The service is fast. The place is casual. Good for having a quick chat.

I've been here a few times because the location is convenient but the quality has steadily gone down. On my last visit I got a Bianco slice and a pepperoni slice -- both were very dry and had hardly any cheese. Definitely doesn't live up to the standard of a New York slice and honestly you can get better pizza at Costco. Only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the people who work there are nice.

Lesson L.

Yelp
Ordinarily a good spot for delivery. However, last night I received a pizza so burned that we had to throw it away and re-order from another place. Probably won't be going back to Williamsburg -- too expensive for this terrible result. This pizza should've never left your store.

Great slice, the workers there are not the best, gave us THE ABSOLUTE WORST part of the pie so just keep an eye on 'em and be specific. Other than that great slice, going to go get one no ahahaha

Don't bother with delivery. Going on 2 hours waiting for it. I'm sure if it ever arrives, it will be ice cold. Will not order again. Update: arrived both cold and burnt.

Got the absolute worst case of food poisoning from this place on 7/14/24. Throwing up non stop for a day followed by diarrhea. The pizza slice I had tasted different from the second I tasted it. Stay away from this place

The food is usually great, but now they insist you order online and refuse to take phone orders, so I ordered online, and they got my order wrong, charged me for a rootbeer I didn't get, and when I tried to call them, they kept sending me to voice mail that was full. I love their pizza, but the customer service is horrible. What's more, I live on SSI-Disability, and can only afford to order out MAYBE once a month, so this was supposed to be a special occasion. What a disappointment.

Ordered the bacon and apple as well as a speciality slice w mushroom (can't remember the name). They both tasted AMAZING. The customer service was amazing. It also warmed my heart that they gave a free slice of pizza to a homeless man that came in. Establishments like this deserve the world!!

I went to Williamsburg pizza on the later side so they didn't have that many options to choose from. I decided to try their classic Brooklyn slice ($3.50). It looked different than other classic cheese slices in the area (in a good way). I was impressed by how crispy the crust was. It was audible- you could hear a real crunch when I took a bite! Definitely not a floppy slice. A definite plus in my opinion! I've seen cheese slices that cost less than $3.50 but this price doesn't seem unreasonable. My experience at Williamsburg Pizza was a good one.

We didn't have many decent options for ordering vegan pies until we tried Williamsburg Pizza. Their vegan pies are all delicious!! Highly recommend!!

Horrible. Was worse than frozen pizza. It was so thin and the cheese was barely visible

Pizzas are always full of flavor. I've tried the Alfredo and my usual is the Margherita. They are well sized. Huge enough to keep you full until you have a regular meal.

Had the pizza here for the first time last week and it was hands down the best crust EVER to host sauce and cheese..:.... I highly recommend a visit there ASAP as it's a must have to complete your NYC experience. Enjoy the food and the area as there is shopping, people watching and a nice buzz everyday.

I'm inclined to rate Williamsburg Pizza a full 5 stars, but with just one visit and one slice of pizza under my belt, I'll make sure to return to offer a broader opinion/review. I was aware of Williamsburg Pizza's existence since it originated in the neighborhood that bears its name. What I didn't know was that there were several locations throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn including here on the UES. Fairly new to this area according to other reviewers, I found myself on the UES for an appointment. Since it was lunchtime, I was in the mood for--what else? pizza. I was only too happy to come face to face with Williamsburg. The space inside was clean, small and humble with about 6 or so tables. The person behind the counter made a few suggestions regarding the styles, both square and round, averaging around $4.75 per slice. They all required to be heated in the oven and for some reason, Sophia Loren stared me right in the face! No, not the iconic Italian actress--the style of pizza. It was also recommended by the worker. It looked simple---roasted fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, garlic and fresh chiffonade basil. At $4.75, it was a huge , lengthy slice but definitely not simple. The toppings and crust were a perfect marriage. You know pizza is good if it can stand alone without the red sauce. The crust was light as air and crispy but with just the right bend to it. Together with a La Croix beverage, it was a $6.00 lunch. And again, the massive slice was not only delicious but very filling. I have my eye on the mushroom truffle slice for next time. Better yet, I plan on visiting the original location in Brooklyn soon. Williamsburg Pizza allowed me to experience one of the best slices of pizza I had in a very long time. I'm a fan!

This is some of the best pizza on the Upper East side . One of the best Bianca slices in Manhattan. Garlic knots are fun. Maybe a little bit of salt could push this up.

Very underrated pizza joint. They always have a couple vegan slices ready. Great, quick late night spot. They're always open later than their hours say.

The paesano - Gods gift. Crowded with goodness. I love this place when I'm in Lower East Side. Fast and accurate service. Great quality pies and slices at reasonable prices. There's pizza spots everywhere here but Williamsburg is a good pick. No complaints

The newest location just opened in the Upper East Side, half a block away from PQR, which has been a little off lately, so this is a nice addition to the neighborhood for a reliably great classic NY slice. It's also nice that it replaced Two Boots, which hasn't been good for many many years, if ever. The grandma is also excellent, especially with some Roni Cups added.

Must try: Grandma square pizza slices - Apple Bacon, Calabrese, and Grandma. Why: Love the crust as it's thin and airy with a nice crunch. Apple Bacon is my favorite because of all the amazing flavors coming together that complement each other: bacon, sliced apples, and crushed walnuts. I also enjoyed Calabrese and Grandmas (oily pepperoni cups - yum!) Notes: The Tartufo was overwhelmingly topped with rosemary that overtook the cheese, mushroom, and truffle oil. Good addition to UES pizza scene as they replaced Two Boots.

I've visited Williamsburg Pizza numerous times, but this is the first time I'm leaving a review. My wife and I went yesterday and we got two slices of margherita, one slice of pepperoni, and a Caesar salad. The margherita slices were spot on, the pepperoni was a good pepperoni, and the dressing for the salad was bomb. Customer service was wonderful. The gentleman behind the counter asked if we wanted our slices hot or warm. We said hot because it's a six block walk back to our apartment (so by the time we got back the pizza was warm and not cold). He was also friendly. So far, Williamsburg Pizza is our favorite pizza spot in UES.

The pizza is not bad. Can't say it's my fav but the crust is one of the best. Truffle mushroom slice is unique and definitely worth to try.

I ordered a Cup and Char Grandma pie from Williamsburg Pizza yesterday for delivery at 1:00 PM. The sauce had pieces of raw garlic. If you like raw garlic as a topping, this place is for you! Next!

Williamsburg Pizza Wows Don't let the nearly $30 price tag put you off. If you want vegan pizza...literally a huge slab of it...this place is for you. We're in a pandemic so a one hour delivery time was given. But they delivered in less, and usually do. The vegan Calabrese is a stunner: loaded with tasty fake meat, spicy like the real thing. The fake cheese melts and is super gooey, again like the real thing. Add in sweet tomatoes and fresh basil and you will not miss traditional pizza at all. This hunky square pie lasted for days. Pop in the micro for twenty seconds or so and reheat to eat. They also offer a veggie loaded vegan pie, tasty and full of artichokes. It's a stunner and huge, too. Not as spicy, lighter. I would choose the Calabrese. But they both satisfy. Epic pizza. The end.

I ordered a square pepperoni pizza in person (as well as pointed to the guy the order I wanted) only to receive the wrong order. When I came home to a house full of guests ... I had the wrong order. So I walked back to ask foe the right order ; ( no I did not check in the restaurant, yes I should have but it was pizza and a easy order of pepperoni Pie so I just grabbed the box) I showed up 10 min after I picked up (bc we live in nyc and it takes a min) to learn if I wanted what I ordered ... I would have to pay at least half the price. They wouldn't take the pizza back and they wouldn't help me. So sad about this place

This is their 4th and newest location. I've been to their Lower East Side location in the past and since I was in the area, I thought I'd stop by to grab a slice. The staff were nice and there was plenty of seating in this venue. I had a pepperoni slice and a garlic knot. This came out to $5 in total. They popped the slice in the oven for about 2 minutes and it came out nice and toasty. The pepperoni that they use here are my favorite pepperoni cups. They hold in the pizza grease wonderfully and have a nice charred aftertaste. The tomato sauce was also nice and tangy. Pretty solid slice overall. The garlic knot was alright. Nothing much really to brag about. Overall, I enjoyed my first visit to this Upper East Side outpost. It feels great to have a reliable pizza spot in the area.

**Delivery times are great, and they have online ordering. 5-Star upgrade granted.** I love Williamsburg Pizza and I can't believe they opened up so close to my apartment and so close to the Q train. The food deserves 5 stars. They charge a little more than the average NYC pizza because they use better quality ingredients than the average NYC pizza. I love their spicy pepperoni (Ezzo?) that curls when you cook it. The sauce and cheese are perfection. So happy we have a Williamsburg Pizza outpost on the Upper East Side now.

Solid local spot! My fiancé tried a couple slices from here and really liked them, so we decided to order a pie for dinner. Went with the grandma with cup and char pepperoni, added ricotta. Really liked it, and would probably say it didn't even need the ricotta add. Only complaint was that the middle slices were a tiny bit soggy. As an additional plus, the pizza reheated super well (used a skillet). Will be back!

We came here after walking around the Met for a quick snack. My friend ordered the apple cheese pizza with ham and we all ordered garlic knots to share. The knots had a lot of flavor and had 4 for 2 dollars. Such a steal. The garlic and butter burst through on the first bite and was absolutely warm and delicious. The flavor wasn't overwhelming and left me begging for more. It came the requisite red sauce but these knots were so delightful it didn't even need them! My friend really adored his slice and raved about it all the way back to the apartment. Next time, I'll be grabbing a slice (or a pie!) and some more of those knots! Definitely come and bring friends. Apparently there is another one in Brooklyn and this is a transplant, but the hype is real and the food is delicious!

Omg YUM why does this place have such few stars?? I have tried my fair share of NY pizza and this slice holds up. The crust is chewy but soft on the inside and holds its shape. Sauce is the perfect taste - not too sweet. The pepperoni is small but thick, charred around the edges and curled up like they should be. And the whipped ricotta on the white pie??!! ‍

Great pizza delivered home! Fresh and flavourful ingredients, super size pizza and pretty good dough! Downside is that it took them almost 1h to deliver! Other restaurants from the area are definitely faster But will order again!

Absolutely delicious. The Bianco pizza was off the chain in particular - hot day, ice cold glass cocoa cola, and $4 per slice deluxe pizza. This place is massively underrated, ingredients are awesome, and it's cute as a button.

This is a tough one. It's so close to my apartment that it's wrong. The paisano slice, if they have it is amazing. I've had the Sophie Loren, and possibly every other kind. I usually get the Margherita or paisano. The people working here are always so kind and helpful, as well. I'm happy to see them surviving during Covid. The smell of garlic just walking by is amazing.
