Pappalardo's Pizza Cove - Massapequa

A true Long Island gem, this restaurant embodies the spirit of a classic neighborhood pizzeria. With delicious pizza and a strong commitment to the local community, it's one of the few remaining independent slice shops around. The real secret ingredient here is the passion for the community, not affiliation with any chain.

I usually get pizza from Gino's, but since they were renovating, I had my wife pick up two Sicilian slices instead. Unfortunately, the sauce was the worst I've ever tasted, and I ended up getting food poisoning. I will never eat there again. If I could give it zero stars, I would, but the review wouldn't allow me to do so, so I have to give it at least one star.

The little man with a beard, who was on the chubbier side, delivered my pizza quickly and was really charming. I ended up giving him an extra tip!

Went for the first time it was fantastic! The pizza is delicious. Great staff behind the counter! Joe was very nice welcoming us, very personable. Thank you for the Italian ice! It was great.

We stopped there for a quick slice. The kids behind the counter did not look too happy to help 2 more customers in the late afternoon, the pizza was still cold after the "usual "warm up. The sauce tasted like it was tomato paste not sauce and the mozzarella was not existent. ?
