The cashier lady is a petty thief. She literally overcharged me for my food as if I wasn't going to say something. Stealing during the holiday season is next-level evil. There are so many reviews calling her rude, but stealing is just low class. Also, I got sick immediately after eating that greasy pizza.

$5 for a slice is crazy, but these guys are very nice, keep the place clean and the environment is good. Will come back for the people for sure

Love this place. Pizza is ALWAYS good, never soggy or burnt. My brother has always gone to pick up the pizza from here, and last week is the first time I ever actually went myself, and the atmosphere is perfect, relaxing. The staff is super nice. I have a few pizza places near where I live, but they all suck!! This place is 40 blocks from my place and it's the best pizza. I'll gladly take the trip to eat good fresh pizza! Even your friendly neighborhood Spiderman has been here!! lol

The meatball parmigiana hero was absolutely amazing. I tried this with an order of garlic knots (with mozzarella) and it was entirely too much. Big sandwich topped with a lot of cheese. The garlic knots had a lot of cheese melted over them, too. This place serves delicious food, and delivers a lot more than I had expected. I'll return often.

Typical greasy pizza joint. $5 for a slice of pepperoni. Big seating area in the back. Everyone here speaks Spanish - which I love. I miss fountain sodas. So tired of restaurants that only serve can soda. The pepperoni pizza was extra greasy.

Good Italian food. Their pizza is tasty, and the garlic knots are authentic 🤤 Prices are a little high for Manhattan, but it's to be expected. Recommend going there for lunch or dinner.

Famous Famiglia is the best place to get pizza in New York City. I’ve gone to this place for over 10 years. The quality of the pizza is amazing. My favorite slice is the Margarita or Grandma. It has a lot of flavor and you’re able to customize it with seasonings if you would like to. The prices are really good compared to other places and it’s very clean. Staff is always wearing a mask. I always see them clean the tables after being used and always recommend people to sanitize their hands. Overall, amazing experience. If you’re ever on the upper west side, stop by Famous Famiglia to get the best pizza in the city.

First time here, couldn't make it to my usual spot on 106. Decor was simple like any other Famous Famiglia. I was greeted the moment I walked in and was kindly given a moment to decide what I wanted. Ended up with two plain sizes and garlic knots. The garlic knots was more on the dough side (cooked of course) for some reason I like my garlic knots crisper. The slices themselves were decent, I have had better.

The delivery is constantly horrendous. Time after time the pizza has slid into a corner of the box and I am delivered a blob of cheese and dough soaked in tomato sauce. I thought I had the solution if the pizza place doesn t cut the slices. I ll cut the slices at home. Unfortunately, the pizza guy ignored my request or forgot and slices the pie. And again I am presented a box with soggy slabs of dough soaked in tomato sauce, with twisted lumps of cheese. Besides the ruined pizzas, their garlic knots are good.

These people are the worst scumbags in the world. Why do I say that? They literally robbed me. Let me explain. I ordered delivery. My pizza came cold and beef patties came hard like they were old. They were also cold. I call up and tell them what happened and I want to get a fresh order. My microwave was broken and I couldnt heat it up. Plus, the beef patties looked old. The manager Enraul or something like that, tells me that its late and I was the last of five deliveries so that is why my food was cold and he is so sorry and all he could do is a store credit. So I wasnt able to eat. I was hingry but very angry. I felt bad for the delivery guy because it was cold and rainy so I said, fine, Ill call during the week. But I was so angry that I just threw the food in the trash. I made an egg omelet and went to sleep angry. Now, I call for a store credit and this scumbag who answers the phone accesses me of lying and tells me I cant get my food. I have to now deal with the fact that I got robbed. I feel so disrespected and just lied to. Its not about the 20 dollars, its not about the 5 dollar tip. Its about a restaurant that truly doesnt care about giving quality food. I will never order again from there and I dont wish them well. Im going to make it my mission to leave this review on every single platform and I have many followers. They will rob you too. Their quality of food is disgusting and they will lie to you about credits. Do not trust them.

For me to love lasagna so much I would never go here again and buy it. Its basically just cheese and what 2 maybe 3 piece of pasta from top to bottom, I think the tiniest portion of meat to where you dont know its in there until you look. But yeah all I chewed was just cheese.... oh cant forget the sauce... taste was good but didnt know I order a lasagna thats 90% cheese. Eww Im lactose...

The pizza was good but it could have had more flavor. However, youre not going to Famiglias for the food, if not the experience. Sure, the decore is a little outdated but it never fails.

This has to be one of the worst Italian restaurants in NYC. We ordered baked ziti thinking it would be of good quality but the ziti was drenched with inches deep water, tasted old and frozen, the cheese on the ziti was cold. We simply couldnt eat the baked zitti so we ordered a slice of cheese pizza but it had little to no sauce in it, tasted like rubber. Horrible food. If you want good pizza, just go to Koronets and if you want Italian, just go to Fumo
