Different and delicious. Must have the square slice
There's a reason people trek. Astoria's narrow pizza joint, Rizzo's, is a must for anyone who even remotely likes pizza. The thin-crust Sicilian slice/pie is totally worth the journey and the money. If you're a New Yorker find a way to get here.
This place is amazing love it love it a must have
Best in the Neighborhood. Rizzo's pizza is by far my favorite pizza in the neighborhood. It's good when you stop in for a slice, but as with most pizza places, it's best when you order a whole pie, so it's hot and fresh. My favorite pizza on their menu is the Forzuta, which comes with homemade sausage, green peppers, and onions. Their claim to fame is their Sicilian pie, but I personally prefer their regular crust.
Rizzo’s Pizza has the thinnest crust I’ve had in Astoria so far. The crust is extremely light and airy, relying heavily on the tomato sauce and cheese to deliver a lot of the flavor. I recommend going with a slice of their square Sicilian pie since this was by far the best slice out of the two. I probably won’t go out of my way to have Rizzo’s again, but do recommend stopping by if you’re in the area and craving some pizza.
then there was the simple - "plain" - slice - this was magic - almost other worldly
An excellent thin crust slice. I had the Sicilian style , which I completely enjoyed . My table mate had a vegetable slice which normally I would not order but had a few bites and yes , it was very good.
Very satisfying slice, curiously similar to the common family-dinner pizza that anyone from Italy is very familiar with. Dough is rich, yeasty, tender yet crispy, with almost no chewiness on it. Sauce and cheese both great. Overall it makes you happy as an Italian kid!

This pizza is unique. It’s literally thin crust pizza. The sauce and cheese were good enough for the pizza. The crust is so thin that as soon as you grab the slice it’s guaranteed to crumble. This is not your traditional NY slice but it’s a slice worth trying out once. Place is clean and prices are justified. If you are around the neighborhood give this slice a try.
Great pizza, nice atmosphere! We stopped in while visiting New York. It was on a Saturday night and we ordered and had our food it 10 minutes. The garlic knots are amazing. The pizza sauce is awesome. The staff is very friendly. It is worth the train ride from Manhattan to experience this place.
They don’t have a bathroom so plan ahead.
One of the best pizza places in NYC. Rizzo's finest pizza is the first pizza I ever had that is perfectly balanced between cheese sauce and dough I even ate the crust it was perfect and the employees are fantastic great customer service clean and by God do they know how to run it like a well oiled machine it gets VERY busy and I mean Busy I have never seen such a organized pizzeria ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Years ago, I used to work at a GameStop location not all that far from Rizzo’s. It was one of my regular go to lunch spots 😌
They have all the usual staples that most pizza places have as well as some specialty slices which I really enjoy. The pizza and garlic knots are pretty good but what really makes this place is the friendly service and the atmosphere fostered by the crew 😁 The guys are normally silly and friendly (they’ll usually talk to the customers as if they were part of the staff while the shop isn’t busy 😅). When it’s go time however, you really see what the crew is capable of.. They’re professional and quick to serve everyone while making zero mistakes in between it all 👌🏽💪🏽
Overall, Rizzo’s is one of my favorite pizza places in all of queens. They have a pretty diverse menu that everyone should try to work their way through!
Update - Spring of 2021: They're STILL killin it (especially post Cov-SARS19-20).
- New tables with a gorgeous soft naturist/simplicitic surface.
- The counter space and menu have NEVER looked any cleaner or more visually appealing/concise than in it's current iteration.
- Their POS system is up to date and it shows in the level of ease and professionalism with which the staff handle go time during these trying times 😌
All and all, I'm proud of the crew (and enjoy the new faces 😏😊😉🙃).
Im from California visiting family in New york I had great new york pizza when I was there. Overall the pizza was much better here in New York but here compared to other new york ma and pop pizza joints this one takes the cake. I would travel back just to have another slice. The garlic knots were absolutely amazing not too garlicy tasted fresh, amazing. The pizza I had the pepperoni and sausage off the charts amazing mouth watering, perfectly cooked. I want to know which grandma made love to it. It was fantastic this place deserves an award
Pizza is really good and does well for delivery, with the dough staying crispy. Ordered the cheese square pizza. The cannoli are the best around.
Got my pizza and other last minutes assortments through TooGoodToGo. This is a great deal. My son loved the pizza and the bbq chicken pizza was great too even though I'm a plain slice kinda girl. Can't wait to try the chicken roll and the pinwheels.
My personal favorite pizza spot. Especially if you like thin slice.
