Reviews Gruppo

What an absolute gem! Came across this place on our first night in NYC and we couldn't have asked for a better first meal. Fabulous service, really friendly and most important of all, amazing pizzas, hands down the best thin crust pizzas we've ever had! I recommend this to anyone visiting New York. It's worth the trip to East Village if you're not staying in the neighbourhood.

I was walking to go do my laundry and damn near broke my neck at the happy hour sign out front of this place. "Free Large Plain Pizza with the purchase of any wine bottle or beer pitcher." SAY LESS! My big bro had just gone on a few dates with the same girl, so we had a debriefing meeting over some pinot noir and pizza, like true savants. I won't go into great detail because big bro would beat me up, but he casually mentioned he and his lady friend had 6 drinks each at one restaurant. Mind you this was the 1st date. Like dawg 6 drinks would have me and my pockets ROCKED. But I guess that's why he's big bro! Back to the topic. Normally, when I eat pizza and drink I am taken out for the next 6-8 hours, as my body is fighting a war to digest all those calories made up of cheese, bread, and alcohol. I didn't have this problem at Gruppo as the pizza is ULTRA thin. It is almost flatbread with a cracker like crust, cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of crisp. It's ideal for the rockstar skinny look I am going for these days. The staff was extremely accommodating, as they checked in on us multiple times to make sure we didn't miss the happy hour window. That's Love Speech. I couldn't have imagined a cozier setting to just talk the night away, bonding with my big bro over some wine and pizza. Bottles of wine start at around $40 while pitchers of beers start around $30. An ideal place to go with a big group.

An Instagramable restaurant. Pizzas were really thin and crispy. Ordered a large pizza with one half in pineapple and ham and the other half in salami etc. The salad was really good. Service was excellent.

Super thin crust pizza was good. Place was nice, service was great. Would definitely come back.. The cheesy garlic bread was exceptional.

Went here for the first time tonight. Gruppo is hands down some of the best thin crust pizza I have ever had. The classic pepperoni has large thinly sliced rounds and wasn’t oily like so many pepperoni pizzas in the city- salty spicy cheesy deliciousness. The veggie pizza had fresh bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and was loaded with cheese. So good. We also tried the Shroomtown....Wow. Three different types of mushrooms, and just loaded with earthy, savory flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and there to take care of whatever we requested. Side of anchovies?- no problem! Oil and extra cheese on the side?- you got it! Whatever we wanted to mix up and blend together or have on the side, they couldn’t have been more polite, professional and accommodating. The place is also very clean- from the outdoor tables to the charming little bathrooms inside. No wonder this place has been serving up great pies, food and beer since 1999. Really fantastic pizza - and a great evening! Go check them out!!

I used to work close by and loved coming here for their happy hour special. It's a free large pie with the purchase of a pint/bottle of beer or wine. We like the cider and the pizza is amazing! Came here recently with the fam and was surprised how expensive it is without that special! 😅 BUT its still worth it and I think its still 5 stars!
