What People Are Saying About Totonno Pizzeria Napolitano

The Editor

Erin Behan

Citysearch

As the city's oldest continually operating pizza parlor opened in 1924, Totonno feels lived in and well loved. Awards, photos of sports stars and presidents, and newspaper clippings line the walls. The crowd's a mix of families, old-timers and curious city slickers. The coal-fired brick oven makes a world of difference, charring the slightly salty, airy-on-the-inside, crisp-on-the-outside crust and lightly browning the toppings on the paper-thin pie. Slices of rich mozzarella dot the pizza, with a sweet tomato sauce drizzled on top to avoid sullying the crust. The white pizza with pecorino Romano cheese is a house specialty.

This is absolutely the best pizza on earth. They've made it the same way for generations. It brings back such memories of my childhood when they used to wrap the pizza in brown paper. Every other pizza just pales by comparison.

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.
