I was told by a friend that this is the best pizza he ever had in the city so I gave it a shot. To me, it left a lot to be desired. The pizza is thin crust Sicilian style available in half (3 slices) and full pies (6 slices). We had half margarita (Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato & Basil) and half of the Lazarra Special pie (prosciutto, tomato, black olives). Let's break it down. The crust is a thin wafer with less flavor than a saltine - kind of a cardboard delivery device. The fresh tomato and tomato sauce combination was surprisingly bland and very acidic. Cheese was nice, creamy and the best part of the pizza. Unfortunately this was only present on the margarita half of the pizza. Prosciutto and black olive toppings were nice but just didn't work to well together. The service was just indifferent. In all I would say that Lazarra's leaves a lot to be desired.

So we recently ordered delivery from Lazzaro's. We asked for a large pizza for 3 people. We were told the $15 pie would be big enough. When the delivery arrived, it was a tiny small pizza that was only 10. wide and wighed less that 5 ounces. I called the restaurant and asked them to rectify the situation. They refused and said it was our fault. Do not order from Lazzaro's. Low quality service. They argue with you and tell you you're wrong when they don't deliver what was promised. Way overpriced. Run away. I will not eat there again.

With all the pizza places in ny tasting the same, Lazzara's stands out. This is the best pizza we've tasted in the 6 years we've lived in nyc.

I've had some distracted waiters but it's a charming little restauant. Delivery is easy the person I got on the phone was so easy going and helpful and I didn't feel like he was distracted or was going to get my order wrong. The pizza isn't the cheap slice from the corner it's square, fresh and super yummy. the margarita and classica pizzas are the besttheir pepperoni is spicy and shredded, not circles. Fresh vegetables, delicious crust it's a special treat cuz it'snot cheap but still, best pizza I've had in midtown.

After reading rave reviews, I brought my out of town relatives to Lazzara's. Rush, Rush, Rush was the feeling. And if you like being told what you will order then this is the place for you. We had children with us and asked for a small plate of spaghetti. “We don't serve small plates,” said the waiter. “He will have to share with his brother" we were told. "He will have zitti", said the waiter. "And you will have pizza". Since my guests were from out of town they were too polite to protest. And the little boy left hungry despite a $60. lunch tab. The waiter, although an interesting, obnoxious, New York character, was more interested in telling us what we would have and rushing us out. He was also sure to check his tip before we left.

They are not good at getting what you whant when you want it. 45 minutes for a pie and everyone around you will be served, no matter how early you get there. But, MAN, when you get it, WOW. Best damn pie in town! Hands down!

My co- workers and I order from here all the time. The food is great, the service is fantastic and the delivery is quick! I have never had a bad meal from here.
