Serious EatsNovember 18, 2013Go for the crisp, light Sicilian thin-crust square pizza, but don't even think about walking out of Rizzo's without placing an order for the garlic knots; they're some of the best in the city.
Elliot DanforthApril 16, 2015Sat down to get a beer and the bartender gave us a free slice! Super friendly service, great little beer bar, tables in the back for dinner, good food. Two thumbs up.
Ryan CampbellMarch 27, 2018Square pies are best here. Get the Diavola with extra hot sauce! Only negative is they got rid of what used to be great happy hour specials. Bring them back please!
Emily RNovember 24, 2013Really good pizza, amazing customer service! They are definitely making a name for themselves on Clinton Street's monopolized pizza market. Complimentary cannoli with every order!
Rachel CJune 7, 2018Nice gluten free crust with an excellent selection of toppings! Definitely made to order. The regular crust looked fantastic as well.
Intimate, family owned pizza spot. Fantastic, friendly service, delicious pizza and some of the best drink specials in all of Manhattan.
Collette SNovember 17, 2015GET: Arugula salad, Calzone (I like chicken in it), francesco and margherita pizzas. And garlic knots if taking out, cannolis if staying in- Joey RubinOctober 31, 2015Rizzo's is delicious. Loved sitting at the small bar for a beer and pizza, and had to stop on the way to JFK for the marinara Sicilian slice.
Everything is awesome. Thin crust, square slice, knots, but the stomboli made to order is sick! Try bacon broccoli and ricotta...
Chrissy LynOctober 19, 2013Authentic pizza! The customer service is exceptional--every time I come, the counter staff lets me try something new on the house.
Another great addition to Clinton street. Thin crust done right. Owners are great, almost as good as the garlic knots.
Harrison JohnsonSeptember 1, 2017Good for groups, get a couple pies and pitchers, plus the garlic knots are delish
Brittany BaumAugust 20, 2013This is a great find. Delicious thin crust (square) pizza and a wine list priced at $22 per bottle
Kevin EnnisAugust 19, 2013"The garlic knots are really garlicky. And buttery. And doughy. And delicious." - Rich Chu
Everything is delicious. My go-to is a square slice. A piece of Astoria in the LES...
Arno GourdolOctober 13, 2013Wonderful pies. Any of them, really. Red sauce is so flavorful. And great service.
Nicolette RomeroJuly 18, 2016Do not agree with Thrillist's rating that this is the #1 pizza place in NYC. It's not horrible, but nearby Rubirosa still holds the top spot. 🍕🍕
Matt GFebruary 26, 2020They have a good special, get two small pizzas and glasses of wine for 20$ quality is meh
AmateurConciergeDecember 9, 2016U gonna have to do better. This is New York! Dig the garlic knots tho
Kate FurmanFebruary 1, 2016$3 for a cheese square slice. I prefer Nonna's down the street to be honest for the same price.
Yo LNAugust 2, 2018Maybe not the absolutely best pizza ever, but staff is friendly, and that counts!
Myles is.October 29, 2016Just gross. Flaccid crust that tastes of flour with a sauce that could have come out of a can.

"My favorite slice joint in NYC. Mozzarella is solid, pepperoni is solid, but the your best bet is the plain slice (add parm and red chili flakes, duh)."
Emily Wilson - 9.0
"Great place for a NY slice. Can’t go wrong with pepperoni or cheese"
Lauren Vehar - 9.1
"One of the best pizzas in the village. Usually has a line, but it moves quickly."
