Been a loyal customer for over two years ordering large pie once a week, today was the day…asked for an extra bleu cheese for my buffalo pizza and they gave me something in the small bag(like taco bell sauces) i asked what happened since it was always small ramekin with it(like always) they said its the same exactly the same with attitude, i went home opened it up and its so liquid and gross(like water consistency wise) that i threw it away immediately, my problem is that they lie to me(to person who was loyal so long) gave me attitude and consider to EVEN SERVE THIS TRASH to customers, when you (store owners) read it you know who i am and who you lost today, be better!

Mediocre pizza at best. I’m a Bronx kid at heart so I know good pizza. $7 for two plain cheese slices is a highway robbery!!! I’m better off eating at the deli across the street for better food and customer service as well

I’ve ordered from PC at least 5 times this year. Always prompt and courteous. The gentleman that made my last delivery walked up three flights of stairs. (Because the elevator was stuck). And the pizza is dee-lish, to top it off

If you purchase a slice of buffalo chicken pizza on Monday, Tuesday, the peye will NOT be.. the.. same. That all depends on who's caring you out, of course. If it's the key gentlemen (may be the manager or owner), he likes to add "fees" on top of "card fees." I have wither him charge a tax, a card transaction fee plus a little more. Whereas you have anyone else, and the price you pay will always be less and the same no matter how often you buy. It's unethical of him to do that. So just be weary.

i work nearby a few times a week and when i am hungry or craving some pizza, this place hits the spot. I usually get the plain cheese slice and the hot melted cheese with crisp thin crust of good size.... delicious. great NY style pizza. other topping pizzas are great too and the garlic knots are delicioso. pro tip: give them a call about 5 min before u go so ur pizza is ready right away highly recommend!

For the record i have never ordered pizza from this place. The pizza might be amazing. I wouldn't know. What i do know about is their chicken fingers. They are flavorless. First off i walked in by myself and order chicken fingers and fries. Expecting to get a meal for one. What i got was $15 worth of terrible chicken fingers. They basically gave a charged me for a family platter. So me not being an a hole i decided to just take it. However the chicken fingers were not good. I feel like some type of warning is necessary when the only size available is family size. Chicken fingers were all bread very little actual meat. Never again

Pretty good spot. Pizza is much better right out the oven! Lasagna slice is awesome. Mozzarella sticks are surprisingly good. Pepperoni roll not bad, chicken they use could be a bit better but overall good pizza spot for pick up and delivery.

I have been going to this place for the last 3 years and thought it was the best in the area but unfortunately this has changed!! The last 2 times Ive ordered it was awful! I had ordered a pie because I had company for lunch and it was delivered almost burned , cold and it didnt taste good at all. How embarrassing this was for me.. Today i sent my daughter to buy me a sicilian and it was awful!! Trust me, this is the last time Im buying anything from them. Something has changed dramatically in the past 6 months in that business. What a shame!!!

Really good buffalo wings. Not crispy, but not soft either, theyre fried just right. Just a bit of kick. A bit of extra sauce in the tray. The carrots were cooked which was unexpected but delicious. The celery is celery. Fries were a bit soggy but were piping hot. Great sauce vehicles. Beef patties were good. Nice crust on them. Not over cooked and dry. Chicken fingers have a slight crisp to them. Tastes good with ketchup or blue cheese. Friendly staff. Fast service. Parking: Depending on the time of day it can be full or empty. Kid-friendliness: They have 2 little tables to eat at. Mostly a takeout place

I just tried ordering from there and I specifically asked if there is dairy in their crust. I was told no and I asked for a vegetable pizza with no cheese. I repeated myself saying so a large pizza with all of the vegetables and no cheese. The man on the phone said yes ok. I show up and the pizza had cheese on it. I explained that I asked for no cheese and the man gave me major attitude and said well youll have to wait 15 minutes for a new one. No apology for THIER mistake AND gave me an attitude. HORRIBLE customer service. I will never order from them again. If you have food allergies, stay away from this place!!!!!!! Dietary restrictions: Do NOT order from this place if you have allergies. They will mess up your order AND give you attitude about their mistake.

Best pizza in riverdale, just get pizza from it please. Half the bad reviews are because people get chicken fingers at an nyc pizza spot let s not be crazy guys just order a nice pepperoni slice or something.

Terrible customer service. I ordered a pizza for delivery at 430, they delivered it at 3. I asked for some consideration, they said they would give a refund if I returned the food. I said no. Then they sent a driver to get the food back and harassed my partner. I was not at home. Unacceptable behavior.

I dislike the fact of ordering food, asking if it can be made a certain way, they agree and then get it the way they feel like serving it. Called to ask why you would agree to it and the owner tells me they don t do it that way. Happed twice so even though I live around the corner, won t be buying from them again.

I have a good experience almost every time I m here. The food is great. The place is good for take out. The customer service is honestly some of the best at a pizza place that I ve experienced. The guys are always friendly and willing to make the customer happy. If they don t have a slice out they ll happily make it, need anything extra they get it for you. Really great place

This is one of the best pizza places in terms of the amount of food you get for the money - the slices are huge. While the ingredients are not very fancy (def no truffle oil in here), they generously cover the entire slice. The pizza is flavorful and tastes great, unlike in many other local bulk eateries of the kind. There has been a lot of experimenting and positive changes in terms of both the food and the interior of the restaurant over the past 2 years. The pizza definitely became thinner and crunchier, and there is generally even more topping. For under 5 bux you get almost whole perfectly marinated buffalo chicken breast on the accurate thin slice. Interesting option you definitely need to check out is a slice with peppers and onions. Fresh, crunchy, not too sweet cannoli are recommended too. Besides, staff is super nice. Overall, great place to get a lot of fulfilling food.

For a small place with only 4 seating spaces and a small kitchen, the food is phenomenal! The employees are always courteous and the space is always clean. My nephew and I have been ordering food from Pizza Chef for years. The prices are also reasonable. It is also the go to place for most of the school kids in the area.

Yes, its a hole in the wall, but who needs any more? Over the years I have gotten slices, heroes, calzones, and ziti dishes... all excellent. My go-to after a long day of work is a slice of white, slice of mushroom, $6.25 (remember the old days of two slices and a Coke, $2? Am I really that old?) Really the only words I can use to describe the place are solid, consistent, and affordable compared to some in the neighborhood. Staff is great and will even give you extra mushrooms if its late enough in the day :) .
