Not good at all

by mattbklyn

Being a native new yorker, you are critical of pizza. I went here because it was always top rated. I was extremely disappointed. The pizza is highly overrated. Floppy, the sauce had no taste. And the one's making the pizza, that's another story. Anyone with a brick oven can make this pizza. It was pretty much dough, canned sauce, and a few chunks of polly'o cheese. Go to DiFara's instead.

Le sublime sur le sublime produit malaisement un contraste, et l'on a besoin de se reposer de tout, meme du beau. Maybe.

Technical perfection. Worth any and every effort. The margherita and white pies are untoppable. Marry into the Cimineri family. Rent on Neptune Avenue. Name your son Anthony. Write Totonno's into your will.

• Pros: I believe that this is the best pizza in the city.
• Cons: I've never had to wait, but I've heard that it happens.

Excellet pizza

by st2047

My husband and I enjoy pizza, and are frequent customers at John's, Grimaldi's, Di Farra's, and Lombardi's. This was our first time at Totonno's, mainly because it is about 1.5 hour subway trip from the Upper West Side. We regret now not trying this place earlier: their pizza is fabulous, perhaps the best in New York. The crust is thin and chewy, nicely charred, but not burnt.. The sauce is just the right consistency and sweetness. I particularly enjoyed their homemade mozzarella, which was there in the right amount.

Regarding the service, it was quite slow, but who cares, we were not at a 5* restaurant. Considering that there was no wait for a table, we actually saved some time despite the long subway ride.

• Pros: Excellent pizza!!!
• Cons: Location
