Randomly stumbled into this pizzeria in NYC after seeing a ton of great Google reviews, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! I walked in on a really hot New York day right when they opened. I ordered a drink, and it was on my table in less than two minutes. My pizza was ready in under 15 minutes, and I even got to watch them make it! The food was great, and the pizza itself was delicious without being too heavy. The service was excellent, and my server was incredibly friendly and helpful. Plus, the atmosphere was fantastic. Definitely a must-visit if you're looking for amazing pizza in New York!

We had a fabulous time celebrating our 30th birthday at Macoletta! My twin sister and I enjoyed a delicious meal of pasta and pizza, both of which were absolutely perfect. The highlight of our experience was our server, Andela—she was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our evening special. Her warm and thoughtful service truly elevated our celebration.

Pizza and food was great overall. We ordered Spaghetti, Pizza and Meatballs. The lady who served us was very friendly and answered all our questions. We asked for the pizza to be half plain and half Capriciosa. It came exactly like that! Lemonade was fresh and tasted natural (no added sugar). Out server kept checking us to see if we were good! They let us with outside food which was excellent. Restaurant has great appearence inside and outside. Fake flowers decorated the doors and outside seating. The restaurant was generally quiet with music playing. There was a counter outside to help arriving customers. Overall great experience! Would recommend to anybody! @Macoletta: Thanks! My daughter (8) wrote it, with my permission ofc.

I had the most amazing experience at Macolleta for my wedding dinner! Angela, the manager, was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! She allowed us to set up early and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The staff was professional and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious—our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! The atmosphere was beautiful, and everything came together just as I had envisioned. If you’re looking for a venue for a special event or just a fantastic dining experience, I highly recommend this place:)
