Mancini's Pizza

If you’re looking for a nice atmosphere to have a slice of pizza and get some work done this is a great spot. It’s a beautiful pizzeria, with delicious food and super comfortable. I ordered the penne ala vodka and soup of the day, it was phenomenal! The workers here are kind, efficient, and welcoming. I will definitely be back, great quality all around.

Before I begin my review, I feel it necessary to say, I am a homeless man residing on the streets of Bay Ridge. I've been this way for a couple years now, and some days are easy and more days are extremely hard. Thankfully, when this stage of my life began, I hobbled into Mancini's. From Day One, I was greeted by the friendliest restaurant staff, I've ever met. From Frank the owner, to his hilarious Dad, to Peter and Benny (Frank's Management Team), the many hardworking cashiers, cooks and delivery drivers (John, Paul and Lenny to name a few), they always made it a point to make me feel welcomed with open arms and great food. Since that very first day, Frank would not accept a penny from me and believe me when I tell you, this gourmet cuisine and awesome pizza would be worth every dollar begged for. It is such a relief knowing that, no matter how hard life gets, even I, have a home with friends, family, fantastic food and a cozy environment to end each and every day. If for nothing else, please visit Mancini's, so they can continue to feed me, Lol. Seriously though, I recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone looking to dine in an atmosphere of warmth and friendliness while enjoying the tastiest Italian cuisine you'll ever have. The Penne Ala Vodka, Chicken Rolls and Meatballs are my faves. Thank you Frank, Peter, Benny, John, Paul, Lenny and every other friend I've made at Mancini's, I love you, appreciate you and hope to one day be a friend you could count on, as I know every single day I can count on you.

Most importantly, this is the best pizza by the slice available in Bay Ridge right now. We stopped in on a Saturday for a quick lunch and to-go order and walked away pleasantly satisfied. The Hot Grandma's square with pepperoni and Mike's Hot Honey was delicious and very well-balanced. The Mediterranean slice was fresh and featured an abundance of fresh vegetables and olives. The to-go item was a buffalo chicken slice which looked and tasted amazing. The only disappointment was the small order of garlic knots. It did not taste like it was made with the same dough as the pizza, or the same sauce as on the pizza. Leading to an off taste when being eaten along with the pizza. This issue does not impact my review as I was hoping for good pizza and received excellent pizza. Other than that, good service, employees, and a clean establishment.

Ordered 4 pies from a large pizza selection for a gathering at home, this was the first for me at Mancini. The pizzas were excellent, everyone enjoyed them, everything fresh and cooked perfectly; not at all grease or mushy, all nice and krispy. The staff is also nice and very helpful. Very satisfied and will certainly be returning customer. Thank you.
