So we ordered delivery from Pizza Parm months ago, when it opened (in 2016) and we were underwhelmed. The pizza was not great when they opened, and we understand the poor reviews from that time. Flash forward to summer 2017, and it's totally different. The pizza is great - we eat there 2 or 3 times per week (and no, we don't own shares in it!) - and the quality and variety of pizza available is really good now. They do an amazing salad pizza, a buffalo chicken pizza, and a veggie pizza among others - all are terrific and the servings are huge. They have a lunch special of 2 slices and a soda for $5, amazing. They also have specials on most nights of the week and a family pizza special that comes with pasta, huge servings, serves 6 to 8 people happily. We also love their garlic knots. Try Pizza Parm - they are great now! Love them and their pizza.

had a great time and enjoyed all the food. My wife eats only gluten free and was accommodated with no problem as they have a nice gluten free menu. We will be back for sure
8. Slice of Bay Shore
Reviewed By LongIslandMabel
The old Friendly's building has been totally reimagined into a delightful new Italian restaurant. I went for lunch recently and was charmed by the décor, Debbie the waitress and my delicious and abundant food. I had Pasta Fagioli with a Greek Wrap on the lunch special "pick 2." The soup was so delicious and filling that I took the whole huge wrap home and shared it with my husband for supper! Can't wait to return to try every pizza and pasta dish on the menu--guess that will take countless visits! There is an area in the front for sitting down for a quick slice, another small bar area and then a bigger dining room area for table service. Even the bathrooms have been lovingly decorated!

I've lived in Islip for more than a decade, and Angelas Pizza has been a food highlight for me. This is a Mom n Pop parlour that serves the basic kind of Italian staple dishes, but does it extremely well. They only have two kinds of pizza: round and Sicilian. No grandmas or thin crust, but who cares when their sauce is amazing (tomato-ey and rich) and the price is right?Their meatball hero and eggplant parm hero are also really good: the bread is delicious and there's that wonderful sauce again as a component. The lasagna is melty and comes in a generous portion, as do many of the "entree" type dishes.Best of all, the proprietors are really nice people: Mom, Pop, and son. They're friendly people who know their customers and their business.It's a comfort to know they're in my neighborhood, and it looks like they'll be there until the next generation.

The snap of a crisp Crisp Crust, Flavorful Sauce, Perfect ratio of cheese. This is what NY pizza is all about.I have been going to Fratelli for years, and still can't figure out how they are not on ever top pizza list around.It is getting harder and harder to find pizza this good in NY. I am partial to a Meatball Pie or slice, the house made meatballs are outstanding.My wife will get a slice of each, regular pizza, and a slice of Sicislian which is equally as delicious.If you are a pizza lover you owe it too yourself to visit Fratelli

Extended family in from out of town to celebrate a wedding. Those that didnât go to Rehearsal Dinner came to Vinnieâs. We started with two pies (one regular cheese/one gluten free). We loved both. Huge, Huge, Huge portions of Cheese Ravioli, Beef Ravioli, Butternut Squash Ravioli, Eggplant Parm and so much more. One entree could serve 3 people honestly. Such nice help. Good wine too.

My husband and I get the Neopolitan pizza and it's great. The crust is thin and crusty and it has light cheese and a great sauce. It's light but very filling and tasty. They have individual servings of pizza that are perfect for s simple lunch. The regular size pizza is perfect for three people.

We tried this restaurant as someplace different then our usual eateries. The reviews were good and the menu on their web site looked amazing and now having eaten there can honestly say both were correct. The night we were there the place was jammed packed (reservations are highly recommended) so our waiter was a bit overwhelmed and that was the only neg. of our experience. Even with the crowd and our waiter a little slow getting to us and checking in once and a while (like forgetting our bread, slow getting our drinks, not checking to see if we needed anything, etc...) all was mostly forgiven once our food arrived. I had the baked lasagna and growing up an Italian NY'er I know my pasta's and what's good and what's not. This lasagna was among the best I've had (not as good as my nonnina's though). And everyone we dined with that night raved about each of their dishes. The prices were not cheap, but not over the top either. The atmosphere had a sort of a clean, industrial type feel. The soft lighting helped, but the noise level all around us was high. I gave it 4 stars for the reasons mentioned above: very, very crowded, waiter was overwhelmed and we had to keep flagging him down for service and a little too noisy for me, but oh the food, the food was amazing and would rate 5 stars. Perhaps a slower night or different time slot for our visit and it would have received an overall 5 stars, maybe(?). For me, when I write a review and score it's rating, for a place to earn 5 stars ALL the elements must be worthy of 5 stars. I do however recommend trying this restaurant and because the menu had so many tantalizing, appealing options leaving me wanting to taste and what we did have was that good I know we'll be going back.

Not knowing what to expect I was pleasantly surprised by just how delicious our dinner was. We started with Drinks which were made just the way we like. Hot bread was brought to the table with a bowl of Ricotta drizzled with Honey, great combination. We shared a Pasta for our Appetizer. It was so good that I want to go back and have it again. We had CACIO E PEPE spaghetti, cracked black pepper, pecorino romano cheese....seriously amazing! We then had Chicken Parmesan and Chicken Milanese topped with arugula, shaved parmesan, grilled lemon. The portions were so big we had to take them home for another meal. For dessert our server overheard me say to my Boyfriend, you pick it is your birthday. He picked the tiramisu, mascarpone cream, lady fingers, espresso was one of the best we had. He brought it over with a lit candle which was so nice and classy since my boyfriend would not have liked a Big Birthday Song....When the bill came they took of the dessert and they gave my boyfriend a $25 gift card to use the next time we visit, which will certainly do! Great room, great music and really great service and food!!!

1. Da Noi Italian Restaurant

This was our second visit to Da Noi and it unfortunately did not meet our expectation this time. We still enjoy the ambiance and the service is good. However, it was a busy night and the food was not up to par.We ordered the duck and a fish special. The meats were good, but the sides came out cold, an indication that the plate sat waiting for the special to be finished before the server brought the dinner to us. More attention would have made our meal better. A small restaurant like Da Noi should check the sides first and not serve cold food. So, we were disappointed.Da Noi is expensive, so our review should be nothing short of excellent, but this visit fell short.
