Amazing. Food grew up going to this place has the best pizza ever had in my life as my grandfather brought me. People can say whatever they want about the service saying it’s hit or miss. Do you know what this place has been standing on hard-working wooden legs compared to artificial brand new legs of a dinner table and you know what I wanna pass the good word and recommendation because this place is worth the it and it’s quality and I’ve seen changes positive compassionate changes in ownerships behavior for the better with my own two eyes so I am pleased to say that to Totonnos is a great an excellent pizza Rea
We used to eat at the 2nd Avenue location back in the day, this was our first visit to the Coney Island location. I’ll put this pizza up against the best, I could drink the pizza sauce by the gallon it’s that delicious. We have our go to spot back for Pizza again.
Death, Taxes and Totonno’s is the best pizza in NYC. These are three self evident truths I know are indisputable and irrefutable. I do not say this in a vacuum, this is not some cheap hyperbole. I’ve eaten at the great pizza shops in the NYC area, I’ve been where you’ve been! This place is truly number 1 and worth the visit. The sweet Nonna who’s taken care of so many patrons is at the helm of this establishment. She will take your order, she will ask you if you need plates and napkins, she will double check if you need more and give you more just because she knows you’ll probably need more. That’s what a Nonna does! Let’s talk about the pizza, all I have to say is GARLIC. It’s the GARLIC, they microplane that stuff into the sauce. It’s practically floating on top. The lip of the crust is being kissed ever so gently by that sauce with the consent of that garlic and sprinkling of Pecorino Romano cheese. It’s the perfect bite. This pizza is what you need and you didn’t know it. It’s weep worthy.
In conclusion, it’s a 10 outta 10, 5 stars, an A+, with a 4.0GPA, it’s the valedictorian, the Rhodes Scholar, it earns the U.S. Medal of Honor for its service, it’s the Commander in Chief of all pizza forces.
Amazing pizza. It's definitely worth the trip.
Was sad to see they're still not doing dine in since I am from out of town. I got one to go anyway and wasn't disappointed.
This old-time pizza shop is now producing for Gold Belly orders. If you watched the Netflix episode of Somebody Feed Phil (NYC), it shows how quaint the place was.
Now, you either or by phone or walk up the door to place the order. No customer is allowed inside now. The will call you when your order is ready.
They are open to the public just Saturday and Sundays. Basic cheese/sauce pizza is smallish for $28 ca$h. Each topping is $4 add-on. We ordered half with pepperoni only and was still charged the $4, disappointing.
But, all in all the pizza..crust...sauce...cheese..bake was really excellent. Highly recommend for a splurge.
Pizza was delicious, pie was small for $27 . I think everybody else paid $25 I asked why the pie was $27 she said “tax” I never heard of tax on pizza! Has anyone else paid $27 for the regular pie? It was best pizza ! Sauce was so good! They are only open Saturday and Sunday. No dining in. Pizza is to go
Surrounded by tire shops and a laundry mat, this litte gem provides some of the best pizza Brooklyn has to offer.
IGNORE all the reviews about the kind lady at the door. Indoor seating isn’t allowed, and it’s cash only… we ordered two pies, and they came within 15 minutes of waiting. In the meantime the lady was kind and left us extra napkins and plates for my group. They said it was okay to eat while standing outside and the pizza was PHENOMENAL, as well as service. Just be prepared to wait outside for a bit. Thank you Totonno’s!
Eat it immediately; it needs to be piping hot. Sauce is excellent. Crust is flavorful, but the center wasn't very crisp. No seating. Service could be improved. I wasn't sure if they actually wanted customers to be there or not.
this is amazing pizza. top 3 imo
tomato sauce was perfect
purchased on a Sunday at 3pm and it was
obviously not made fresh and had been sitting a while BUT WOW that is remarkable pizza. initially I grumbled at the $30 price point for a 14" pie but now I'm a fan
Listen. This Pizza was amazing. I'm a tourist visiting Coney Island and while I was in Brooklyn for the day I wanted to try some of its famed pizza. So I looked up some of the best pizza and found the best one near me. This place has been around for nearly 100 years. And the pizza was great. I was there on July 23, 2023, But here's a couple notes:
1- they sell it by the pie only, $25 for a plain pizza.
2- it's To go only, took about 20-30mins
3- it's sketchy as hell in that area. I'd say go in a group because you will definitely be waiting a long time and some sketchy characters might show up while you're waiting outside. Since it's to go only they don't let you wait inside. Not sure why this is, but that's how it was.
The pizza was worth it all though
Widely regarded as the best pizza place in America, and with good reason.
I had a holiday to New York and Totonno's was top of my must eat list, it does not disappoint with a pizza that is beautifully light and crisp with tomato rich and fresh and cheese that was both sharp in flavour but stringy enough to satisfy the kid inside.
The décor is a magnificent collection of newspaper cuttings, signed pictures and adverts making you feel that this is clearly not a flash in the pan place. Totonno's is proper pizza history (Google it) and their stubborn resistance to change is a joyous stance. They make pizza as they always have done, and when the taste is as good as this may they long continue.
Thank you Michael and cookie.
Good Pizza, love the dough and crust. You may a wait a while, but it's a nice homey feeling to it. The slice progressively gets better with each bite. No my preferred option of cheese, but it was that good that I didn't mind. Also the restaurant itself is quite small but welcomes you with its history. Be warned for newcomers, it's not a traditional pizza spot. Meaning you are not getting individual slices. I'm sure you'll enjoy it however 👍👍
You’ve likely read that Totonno’s has some of the best pizza in America. What you read is true. In fact, everything you’ve read, from how amazing the white pizza is to how busy it is to how surly the owner lady is — every bit of it is true. And it’s worth all your time and effort and money to try it. You will not be disappointed. And if you are, you did it wrong.
