Old Manhattan Pizza

I have visit this place 3 times and I don’t know if they change of owner or product but is not the same. What happen with this place, was my favorite. Calzone and pizza no garlic butter flavor this time and receive the food cold. Hope this just a nightmare and not a every day status.

Wow I got to revisit my TMJ trying to eat this chewy piece of pizza. Sauce is good so maybe pastas would be better. But I wonder if they recycle all the pies from the night before and microwave the dough to reheat this mess.
By the way this restaurant goes d/​b/​a by mama Rosas also and manhattan grill.

Came here 2 ½ years ago while on vacation. Best pizza spot around. Back again and it is a complete shithole. Very disappointing. Nasty cold pizza. Dirty, sleazy atmosphere. Said beers were $ 1 more if we were underage. $ 5 slice of crap.

There was once a time when this pizza place was fantastic, but the management lately has driven it into the ground. Perhaps if you dine at the actual restaurant you will receive a better experience, but the last three times I have ordered delivery from OMP, I have experienced nothing but inconvenience and excuses. Each of the last three times I have ordered, I have had to call back multiple times to check on the status of my delivery, and each time I was told «it’s on the way.» Even with a modest «50 minute» wait, my food took over an hour and a half to get to my doorstep. When the food arrived, it was cold, dry, and bland. These orders were for multiple people and included pasta, pizza, and sides. Most recently, the driver arrived after two hours, coughing and sneezing, telling me excuses about how he was the manager and had to drive out the order because one of their regular drivers could not make the delivery. This was after I called twice to check on my order, each time being told «it’s on the way.» They offered (as they have in the past) to discount the order. I waved the offer in good faith, but I will never order from this place ever again. They do not save customer information, they do not care about their regulars, and they frequently make excuses for poor service.

We sent around noon on a Sunday so the place was pretty empty but the employee helping us could not have been more friendly! The pizza was typical NY style and hit the spot. I imagine the place is perfect for night people watching if you sit in the front window seats!

Will not be going back. Pretty sure me and my wife got food poisoning from eating here.

Good, not great pizza. I did LOVE the pepperoni stromboli though. Good prices on beers and food. However, be prepared to sweat your butt off as every time I’ve been there they’ve had no AC on or it’s not working, one of the two.

The Line Up:
Pizza Slices
Stromboli
Garlic Knots
Cheese Bread
Beer
Okay, so you have to choose from the ready made italian items behind the glass unless you order from «the grill» which I didn’t realize they had available. Nevertheless, quick, relatively inexpensive, lots of spices & condiments, big blowing fans and PRIME SEATING FOR PEOPLE WATCHING.
My other half & me liked the experience so much we went 2x in a row & the staff recognized us & were very nice!
The Verdict:
One of my favorite new dives.

I’ve never been a fan of listening to other people, because EVERY person’s taste is different.
This is NY Style all the way. The owners are from Brooklyn and the Bronx. They even bring water in from NY to, give the pizza that special flavor that makes NY Style so damn fantastic.
I’ve ordered for delivery and have been to the shop on 7^th, and yeah, while the shop isnt exactly the ritz, (name a solid pizza joint in NY that isnt), the food and atmosphere makes up for it.
My favorite is the Spinach & Ricotta.
Look, don’t listen to the nae-​sayers, just go there for yourself or call.

Gross. What’s gross, you ask? I’ll be more specific. The pizza is gross, the store is gross, the counter is gross, the tables are gross, the chairs are gross, and the people are gross. I stopped in for a quick slice while in Ybor and should have walked out when I saw what it looked like on the inside. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a good hole in the wall and wanted to give this place a try. Sometimes I can look beyond grime for good food, but this was honestly some of the worst pizza I’ve ever tried. Cheap ingredients and nasty thick crust. It was more like a bad cheesy bread, than pizza. How can you call that NY style? You’d be happier with Domino’s.

I rarely order delivery, but was glad I skipped the big chains and went for Old Manhattan. The pizza was good, not too greasy, and came with little sides of red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese, which I enjoyed. I will definitely order from here again.

I guess don’t order anything except pizza here. I’ve waited over 40 minutes for a sub so far. A guy finally asks me what order am I waiting on then proceeds to start my sub. The staff was busy but rude and indifferent nonetheless. I’m not expecting world class service just the basic competence of taking a order and fulfilling the order in a reasonable amount of time. Ridiculous.

The worst pizza ordering experience ever. The delivery took 2.5 hours, yes — you read that right. There were 4 callbacks to the restaurant inquiring and multiple stories: We only have 1 delivery person, he’s on his way; I just packed your order a few minutes ago and the delivery person will be here anytime; delivery guy is on his way now, should only be about 10 minutes. 4^th call back was remove the charge from my credit card. I just looked at my CC statement and I was DOUBLE charged.
The pizza did finally arrive and, as expected, was not good. Most pizzas aren’t when it takes 2.5 hours to arrive. Cold, not crispy crust, no flavor.
Go elsewhere! In the meantime, I’m preparing for callback #5.

Old Manhattan Pizza is usually really, really good. At it’s best (on a nice brisk night where they’re constantly refreshing the pizza and garlic knots), it’s almost transcendent. They have lots of great topping combinations, and their garlic knots, hot and fresh, are heavenly. Now, when they’re a little slower and the pizza has time to sit, then it’s just good. Pizza is hard to to mess up. The garlic knots, well, those suffer a bit with age, I had one once that was cold and hard and tasted just a bit like it had caught some cleaning solution, but on average, this place serves pizza that you’ll want to come back for. Other things I like besides the quality of the food? They keep late hours, they have beer available, their prices are very good, and they take credit cards.

It’s hard to go way wrong with NY Pizza. You know the old saying… pizza is like sex…
Old Manhattan didn’t disappoint me. It didn’t wow me either.
I settled into my Saturday evening with some Camus and Harry Potter. I figured pizza would would compliment my rendezvous with Potter. It did!

I was so excited when the delivery person knocked on the door. The could smell the pizza wafting into the living room. As I put the box down on the coffee table, I thought… this is the moment. Is this going to be good NY pizza or poor NY pizza.
Well, from first glance, they got the cheese right. It was gooey, greasy and melted perfectly. The sauce was tangy and sweet and they put just the right amount on it.
.. but the crust. Isn’t it usually the crust? The crust just wasn’t crispy enough… it was oddly flaky in certain spots.
All in all, Old Manhattan satiated my pizza craving. If I’m in Tampa again, I’ll try a few other places, but I’d certainly order from them again.

Incredibly delicious pizza, lots of selections for the casual walker, and th staff was quite friendly and helped me with directions. I’d recommend them!
