Apicius Pizza - Astoria

This is the best pizza in Queens! I'm as thrilled as I am eating at Sal's Uptown. The sauce is fantastic, and the mozzarella is just the right amount of salty and evenly spread. The crust strikes the perfect balance—thin, chewy, and just a touch crispy, without being overdone. The seating area is lovely, making it a great spot for a fun, casual dinner. I live right next door, and I'm seriously considering pizza a food group at this point! They heat it just right, so you won't burn your mouth. The gentleman behind the counter is incredibly humble and friendly, and he and the warm-hearted woman with a ponytail make a delightful and funny team. I find myself coming here often. Don’t miss the Broccoli Pinwheels—they're delicious, and you can feel good about getting your greens for the day!

We enjoyed the pizza and nearly everything else. The service was excellent!

Fantastic pizza! The grandma slices are out of this world. PRO TIP: If you want it fresh, order an Oma pie with extra basil, and make sure to request it well done for an extra crispy finish. It turns out amazing, and the flavor is next level (see picture).

Best Pizza in Queens!! Hands down the best cake I've had for years. Service was quick and helpful. You can pick up from there to fall or a fresh cake minutes. If you need a new goto pizza place in Queens, this is definitely the place for you.

I’m very picky with my pizza. As a truck driver from Jersey I stopped here on my way home so I wouldn’t be hangry in traffic for an hour and a half. What I found was exactly what I’ve been searching for in the NY pizza scene…. The perfect slice! The flavor, texture and crunch are unlike many Pizzaria slices in NY. I now stop there almost every day for a slice or 2. Staff is very nice as well. 10 stars
