New York Pizza

We get take out family pizza all the time. It’s huge. Feeds the family and have left overs. And the crust is thin. I also love the get the king kong. Not my favorite place to dine in. but definitely worth going to pick it up

Been eating here since I was in Kindergarten in 1975. Coming here is always nostalgic bringing back childhood memories. I stop by frequently when I’m on the east side of Tucson. It’s the same recipe and great taste for 40 years. It’s worth the drive no matter where you live. Prices are reasonable and service is outstanding. Bring the kids and continue the tradition.

I recently moved to Tucson from the East Coast and have been looking for good pizza. Having checked some of the reviews on Unilocal,I thought I would try this place out.
I’m of the opinion that any pizza is good pizza, well, this place has proved me wrong. The pizza here is average at best. It is nothing like NY style pizza either.
The pizza was light on sauce and the crust crisp and almost cracker like. If you have had pizza in NY, you know its soft and foldable.
The pizza was large and cheap. The place had a lot of people in it so I guess there are people who like it. Judging from the pizza I have had in Tucson, there doesn’t seem to be much competition. It’s hard to find good pizza here.

The family size is amazing. Great for parties or just sitting on the couch playing video games for the entire weekend and not moving.

I so wanted to like this place. It’s close to my house and very informal — both things that I like. I ordered a garden salad, a slice of pizza with green peppers, and a diet soda. The garden salad was just lettuce that had been poured from a cheapo iceberg lettuce bag into a Styrofoam container. Period. The soda had a distinct chlorine-​y, not-​great-​water taste. And the pizza? When I picked it up the green peppers all fell off. Now what does that tell you? It was slightly warm, the cheese was cool, and it tasted like a frozen pizza that hadn’t been cooked enough. One yucky meal. The guy who waited on me was very nice, thus the extra star.

I waited 45 minutes to get 1 measley slice of pizza! Not only did they screw up once but they screwed up 3 times! I am a regular here and you would think they would have apologized or made it right, but they didn’t so I will spend my hard earned money somewhere else… Bad businesses…

Ordered two giant pizzas last weekend when my sister was in town, and they were fantastic! Still freakishly huge, super thin & super hot, just like good New York pizza should be. 25 years after my first slice from NY Pizza, and I still love it. Thanks so much!!!

Absolutly great pizza… enough said!!!
By far one of the best tasting pizza I’ve found in Tucson… if you are looking for a pizza for a large party you must order the «family» pizza…22″ of delish pizza…

Always great pizza the family is huge it easily feeds 8 people when we have guests we get this have and it cut in squares. Will come back again and again.

Yes the Employees will not win any Mr/​Ms Congeniality contests anytime soon, but if you’re looking for white glove table side service then this is not the place for you.
Pizza is good and affordable, where else could you pick up 2 slices of pizza and a drink for less than $ 6?
Family size pizzas to go may not fit in your backseat if you drive a small car. You’ve been warned to bring bungee cords so they can be safely strapped to the top as you drive home with your bounty.
Our family favourite is the King Kong, its never failed to impress friends when we order it to go.

Mmmmmm, New York Pizza… I’m in LOVE! 30 minutes until closing and we still had a hot, huge, super delicious pizza. Family 22″ Pepperoni and Sausage. Perfect proportion. The sausage was very mild and so yummy. Left overs re-​heated well in the oven and microwave.
Also, my hubby picked it up and mentioned the crew was chill/​polite.
New York Pizza is my new go-​to pizza place!

This has been my favorite pizza place in AZ. As a long time New Yorker I knew it was a rare find. I’ve recommended it many times to friends and co-​workers but I heard they were making their pizza too doughy now. I didn’t want to believe it so I came back to check. I’m sad to say they were right. They’ve lost that great thin crust, fresh cheese, tasty sauce and general great NY pizza quality. I don’t know what has caused the change but I hope they go back to how they made them before.

I’ve grown up with this place since 1981… waaaaaaay before Unilocal was a thought. I’ve eaten more lunches here than I can remember, and other than some oddball employees over the years, this is a slice of New York heaven.
The place is a bit of a dive. Hasn’t changed much since I hit puberty at Sahuaro HS — so don’t expect anything shiny. The pizza is good old classic NY style pizza. Hard to screw that up. To their credit, the crust tastes better than most and the portions are huge. Anyone that can eat two slices for lunch deserves respect. That much grease in one person is enough to lube an old Chevy and then some.
You won’t find a slice like that AND a soda or beer for $ 3.25 anywhere else.
We also get the Family pepperoni from time to time to feed the children. They like it and ask for it. Good thing I drive a Suburban. That thing won’t fit in all cars, so leave your tiny little prius at home.
There may be better, but not for what you get, and definitely not in our hood.

Had their lunch special a slice of pizza and a large drink. I have bought their family size pizza in the past as well. I think they make an excellent pizza and the dough and service is fantastic!

New York Pizza went from ‘meh’ to my favorite pizza place in five words: Double Pepperoni Family Style Pizza. It’s SO good, and when they say double pepperoni they mean it… the pizza’s absolutely covered in the stuff! It should also be said that they offer great customer service. I’m getting hungry just writing about it… excuse me.

This is an awesome pizza joint. Great lunch specials. I bring my Wife and kid here and we all eat lunch for less than $ 9. Plus, they have old school arcade games. Ain’t no school like the old school!

My boyfriend and were enthusiastic about trying this place. Not great, not terrible. The atmosphere is uncomfortable. Why is the tv right in front of the counter where you pay? It was awkward because we were in the way of everyone watching the game. You have to walk in front of everyone, they looked angry.
Now the pizza, according to my bf, who actually is from New York, is no where near «New York» pizza. I’ve never had authentic New York pizza, but the pizza was not great. The Mozerella cheese was basically gummed to the pizza and hard to eat. The sauce, meh, tasted like canned tomato sauce. The crust was pretty good and tasted fresh with good consistency.
We got a small pizza, just to try it. Might as well gotten a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut for much less. Not worth the price.

Stopped in today after church to have lunch with my bride and one of the men serving at Royal Family Kids Camp this year.
We’ve been here several times in the past and always enjoy the pizza. You can buy a slice and drink for a reasonable price. I love the simple layout in the dining area, benches and tables (cafeteria style). I was looking forward to our visit today, which is why it pains me a little to write this review.
The first thing that hit me about the place today was the heat, it was hot and muggy in the restaurant providing no relief from the heat outside. In fact, it was a relief to walk out after lunch because we were able to escape the humidity/​mugginess.
When we place dour order, the guy behind the counter was a little less than enthused to be there. Granted, it is probably because he had to be there without relief from the humidity in the room so please understand this is not an attack on his character. In fact, when I ordered a pitcher of soda he was nice enough to remind us that when buying a slice of pizza we receive a free drink. I think he did his job to the best of his ability. Customer service could use a boost, but I think that issue would be resolved if they provided a cooler or more suitable environment.
My bride had a slice with sausage, and each of the men had a slice of pepperoni. The pizza is amazing: great sauce with just enough cheese. The dough is super thin and cooked perfectly, and the flavor and texture are very traditional. It’s tough to nail the flavor of New York pizza pie, but these guys take a good run at it.
So why the 3 stars? We ordered 3 slices and some garlic cheese bread. The bread was decent, but came out after the slices and I’m a little picky about making multiple trips to the counter for my order. It would have been nice to have everything come out at once. Again, if you’ve ever read on of my reviews, you know I am a stickler about customer service and even though it is understandable they might be grumpy due to the heat; I’m scoring the store and not the individuals so they get dinged for not providing a comfortable work place as well.
I say get your pie to go but be prepared to wait knowing it will be worth it when you grab a slice. 3 out of 5 is not that bad, you have to almost kill somebody to get a lower score.
We’ll go back when the temperature outside drops a little.

I cannot believe that there are not more reviews for this place, it has been around forever and it’s absolutely amazing! The size of their family pizza is insane you can barely get it in your car door lol. Definitely the perfect place to order pizza from when throwing a party :-). The dough was fantastic they are thinly sliced pizzas slices, sui the crust is nice and crunchy the cheese is amazing pepperoni is great, the only complaint I have is I think their mushrooms come from a can, ick.
They don’t deliver but they have a great special everyday up until I think 3:00 pm. You get one slice of pizza and either one draft beer or a soda (no free refills though) in for you hungry people out there they offer a special with two slices :-)

This is some of the best pizza I have ever eaten.
I will say, you love it or hate it.
We have been coming for 10+ years, and my family loves it. Yet, some of my friends just do not like it. The sauce is perfect, and sweet. The sausage is what I love. It is crumbled and so spice and good.
