I just ordered for delivery from this place, since our regular go to Italian place closed early tonight. The guy on the phone was rude. I told him where I live (8 blocks away) and he said it was really far, even though I explained to him where exactly I am and that I see their delivery guy here all the time. So after him debating if he should or shouldn't take my order, I told him I didn't want to cause his delivery guy any problems and to just cancel our order. Well when he heard that, he decided it wasn't far at all, it was just going to take a long time for his guys to get there (even though they are on a bike).. Well I reviewed the order with him, and he said that we needed to order more, so we got a slice of cake but he was upset we wouldn't order drinks... Wtf. We haven't even gotten our food yet but our service so far has been disappointing. Hope the food is at least good! Never ordering from them again. And I'm going to make sure I check the amount they charge cause I have a feeling it's going to be more than it should.

I called to place an order for delivery 1/16/11 at 9:30pm, the guy who answered the phone was a complete jerk. Not only did he sound as if he was doing me a favor but when i told him i was on johnson st(which is 9 blocks away) he told me there was a 20 dollar minimum?? then when i asked for a chicken marsala hero he said we are gonna close soon we only have pizza and salad. I hope the owners read this review and realize that everyone complaining about service at montys is correct.

The food at Monty's is sometimes good, sometimes mediocre but never great or poor. However, after years of going there with neutral service (i.e.- long waits in the restaurant and for delivery, not so nice staff, etc)... I tolerated it because it's convenient. Yesterday I went in there with my friend, he got his pizza and I waited for about 15 minutes longer. When I walked up the counter to ask about it the man said "Oh, what did you order?" and threw it in the oven when I told him. He just forgot about me!!! So I didn't eat until 30 minutes after my friend. If I did not already pay I would have left! Today I ordered their food to my office. The man on the phone was actually intentionally rude when I asked for a side with my meal (willing to pay for it too!), we waited over an hour to receive our order. The delivery guy told me it was 22.00 so I gave him 25.00. I also asked if he had change of a ten so I could split up the money between orderers. He said "Sorry, I have no singles" and ran out. What delivery guy does not carry singles??!?!?!! Then as the cherry on top I looked at the bill and it was 20 dollars. And then I realize they gave me the wrong pasta and the sauce was practically like they poured milk on my pasta. I will never order from here again. Sorry Monty's!

the place looks like the food would be really good. but unfortunately, it doesn't satisfy. i go back every so often thinking it's going to be satisfying and there's not much choice for really good pizza. fascati is ok, but it doesn't give you the taste you're after.

The trick is to eat the pizza there. Every time I've ordered from them for delivery the pizza always arrives soggy. Honestly, it's just a below-average pie.

I completely echo Sam's earlier comments, when he said he lives about 50 yards away and tries to avoid this place at all costs. In fact, I probably live in the same building as Sam. This place is truly bad. You can get better pizza in Bangalore. Completely unacceptable for NY. Not surprising though, as most NYers would take one look at this place and immediately realize that it is a joke. I only write this review for the benefit of our guests from out of town who deserve to be served an actual slice of NY pizza, but in actuality the review is unnecessary because all you have to do is look at the slices in the display case, which look like they are left over from the freeze dry system on the space shuttle Endeavor. I actually ate there tonight in spite of myself, and considered praying the rosary after doing so just to make myself feel better. If there were ONE other pizza place in this part of the Heights, Monty Q's would be out of business in a month.

I have to agree with the person below. Pizza has way too little sauce and was too salty, and it was not cheap at all. I don't need to taste anything else. Italian places that base much of their business on their pizza that make poor pizza aren't to be trusted to boil water.
