Just the best Pizzas!
we landed at JFK, dropped bags off in midtown and headed straight to RubiRosa, What a gem - proper pizza and a great vibe - the Honey Pie Pizza is outstanding! 100% highly recommend!

One of my favorite pizza restaurants. Not a slice to go kind of place. It’s usually a long wait for a table but worth it. I used to go the original spot in states island but I like this one better. It’s also way more convenient. Get the vodka pie. I think it’s the best out there
Be the first to ReplyGood pizza spot
Cute atmosphere. A great spot for a date or night with friends. The food is good. The desserts are really good too. Hard to get into though!
Be the first to ReplyVery long wait!
We had previously visited Rubirosa as a couple in April last year, and wanted to go again and bring the children (10, 13, 16). We never booked and turned up on a Tuesday at 6.15pm. We were told to expect a 90 - 120 minute wait, and so left our number and went away shopping. Unfortunately it ended up being a 3 hour wait, which wasn’t ideal. The lady on the front desk wasn’t helpful until she could see how fed up we all were through waiting this time. She was quite abrupt too before. The food and service once we got seated though were great. I think the situation could have been handled better though from a customer service point of view.
Be the first to ReplyBest pizza ever and worst stuffed artichoke ever!
We came here because my teenage daughter told us to (via Tic Tok LOL). they were fully booked but I called and they said they always keep tables for walk ins so we went at 8.15pm sunday night and got straight in (though the restaurant was full). We were excited to order the famous Tye-Dye Pizza... and it was all we expected and more! Best pizza I have had at a store! It was also gigantic! We ordered 2 appetisers and the 18in pizza for 3 of us and we couldn't finish it. BUT we ordered the stuffed artichoke and it was horrible! Undercooked and inedible. The only thing I could eat was the tablespoon of stuffing inside. Sadly, no one cared enough to ask how our meal was or why the plate was mainly left uneaten. It felt like service was mechanical with no genuine caring because they know they are so busy already. Definitely visit but avoid the artichoke!
Be the first to ReplyWorth the hype
I hate dining in hyped up restaurants, but Rubirosa is honestly a staple in NY. Pizza is delicious and super thin. Love the option of being able to mix the pies! The service is also very friendly and attentive. Haven’t tried their pasta dishes yet but most pizzas are tasty. Their wine selection is also top notch.
Be the first to ReplyWorth The Wait
Totally worth the wait. We managed to get a reservation the week before, and we were so excited. Their tie-dye pizza was to die for, and the service was brilliant. Can't recommend enough.
Be the first to ReplyGreat neighborhood NYC pizza!
We were exploring during our first day of a Christmas week NYC vacation and spotted Rubirosa. It had such a great vibe and felt authentic so we got on the wait list, which was still over an hour at 3 pm. It worked out perfect for us since we needed a late lunch/early dinner before a 7 pm walking tour. The Caesar salad was perfect, and the tie dye pizza was fun, crispy and delicious. I like thin crispy pizza, not deep dish, so it was a good fit for us. The service was great, too. Highly recommend.
Be the first to ReplyCozy and delicious
This place is cozy and the pizza is great. We had pizza, rice balls, and wine and everything was great. Service was average.
Be the first to ReplyDisappointing pizza
We got seated right away even though we didn’t have a reservation because we got there as it opened. We had the vodka pizza with meatballs but I I would say it lacked enough vodka sauce. It was kinda disappointing actually.
Be the first to ReplyBustling pizza/italian place - great for lunch!
Amazing food, fantastic service, super busy and crowded but in a great area. Fairly priced - I would eat here again!
Be the first to ReplyFabulous food and atmosphere!
This place was recommended to us by someone at the hotel where we were staying. We walked there on the first night but couldn’t get in without a reservation and it was a 3 hour wait! We knew it must be good and 2 days later we tried again while walking near at lunchtime. We managed to get a table and the waiter was extremely friendly and helpful even though he was busy. I went with his recommendation of the carbonara followed by the homemade cannoli and they were both delicious. It had a lovely, busy atmosphere and if we get back to NYC we’ll be booking a table and definitely going again.
Be the first to ReplyFull of mama’s flavours! Don’t miss this place.
Listen carefully, this place is difficult to reserve for but don’t be discourage try and try again and again as it’s worth it as your taste buds will be very happy! So we could not get in with a reservation and showed up mush later around 9:30 and we were able to get a table at the bar. I was with my daughter and both of us love Italian food. The pizza is really tasty try the tie dye super and the Rubirosa suprime a delight to the senses. We weee there on a Sunday and there was the Sunday only special sauce just like my Nona made when I was a child. We added the Cesar and can’t say anything wrong with it o could suggest that they add some cooked prosciutto with a cost it would be the cherry on the Sunday! Don’t change anything with the dressing it’s perfect. For desert we had the begnet that came with Nutella and a strawberry sauce my daughter was raving about it. The cannolis were so fresh and you can tell hand made. Do not miss this place or you want a taste of the real Nona cooking.
Be the first to ReplyMulberry Street Classic
I've been here many times over the years, both for solo dinners at the bar and meals with friends. It's always packed, there's usually a wait (unless you get there early and can squeeze in at the bar), but it's worth it for the lively atmosphere and great food. Never been disappointed by the pizza, pasta, salads or wines, and the service is efficient but friendly.

We decided to go to this restaurant for lunch. The place is small but attractive. The staff were warm and friendly. We ordered a tie-dye pizza. It was a lovely pie that tasted even better. The sauce is tasty and the crust is crispy. A 14-inch pizza was enough for two. This restaurant will frequent.
Be the first to ReplyBad service undermines everything
Rubirosa in SoHo serves without doubt the best spaghetti and meatballs anywhere. It’s a nondescript gem that’s a favourite hangout for locals (recommended by a local a few years back). No reservations accepted. Leave name and cell number at desk and be told - gulp - up to two hours for a table for two. But it’s ok because the spaghetti is so damned good. Last night we had a repeat experience though the two-hour wait was reduced dramatically to 30 minutes which meant downing the scotch we were having at the nearby Spring Lounge - think Cheers! where everybody wanted to know our names, including a very flirtatious straight couple taking a rather keen interest in me. But I digress. We headed back to Rubirosa eagerly anticipating a late supper (thanks, Air Canada … see a different review). We were seated in the worst possible table next to the pizza oven in the farthest reach of this long, cavernous space. But we didn’t mind because we were about to have the best spaghetti ever! We ordered a large bowl of the perfectly cooked - al dente - pasta with perfect marinara and divine meatballs. The waiter seemed interested. A young rakish-looking man who appeared attentive enough. We ordered a couple glasses of cab sauv and waited perhaps 10 or so minutes before dinner was served, brought out by a runner. OMG. It was divine. We dove in and began devouring. Part way we paused and wondered about the wine. Couldn’t get her loser waiter’s attention. I must admit that the pasta was too good to be bothered. But I was bothered. We had been ignored for the evening. Not even a cursory, is everything alright? Nothing. We decided it was time to go, no wine. No dessert. Another waiter approached and said that he was taking over. The other loser was still prancing around at the bar. Nary a glance. We requested the bill. Not only is the pasta listed ,but the two phantom glasses of cab sauv AND bread pudding (I hate bread pudding). The table next to us had that. The new server made the correction and we paid the exact amount only. I don’t think that I have ever not tipped. In fact, I know I haven’t. Servers work hard, well all but the loser at Rubirosa, so I reward them appreciating fully that not all waiters are equal. It’s part of the dining out experience. But make a modest effort to show that your customers matter - at least their gratuity.
Be the first to ReplyAMAZING
Wow. Just wow!!! A friend recommended Rubirosa while my husband and I were in NYC celebrating our 20th anniversary. We tried to get reservations, but didn't have any luck so I called the restaurant. The hostess told me we could walk in and put our name on the waitlist. We got to the restaurant and put our name on the list. While we waited, we shopped at the nearby stores. An hour later, we got a text that our table was ready so we ran back over. Our waiter (unfortunately I can't remember his name) was so upbeat and great at making suggestions. We got the house wine (Rubirosso Montepulciano Abruzzo), Mini Rice Balls, and split a pizza which was half Tie-Dye, half Fresca. ALL of it was divine. They even brought us some chocolate covered grapes, strawberries, and blueberries after our meal. It was our absolute favorite meal, experience, and waiter of the entire trip (and we ate A LOT).
Be the first to ReplyEnjoyable experience
We had antipasti for starters then we had a 18" pizza with rubirosa special on 1 half then bianca on the other. The pizza was very delicious. Although the pizza's are extra thin it was more than enough to share. I would highly recommend rubirosa if you love your pizzas thin and crispy! Booking is essential if you want guaranteed entry.
Be the first to ReplyNot as good as expected
We walked through the door of Rubirosa and were treated very nicely. With the exception of our server, who was also very nice, it went down from there. Granted we were there on a hot day, but it was very hot inside—I was constantly wiping my brow. We started by ordering two glasses of red wine, which were too warm to enjoy. We’ve eaten in a number of NYC restaurants during this most recent heat wave and haven’t experienced this heat in a restaurant or very warm wine. We started with baked clams. We researched “best baked clams” in the NYC and Rubirosa popped up. I often go to the fish market and make baked clams—an old time NYC dish—so I was anxious to try them. Big disappointment: for twenty dollars you get six tiny clams and it was debatable whether there was clam meat in each shell. At best, they were the tiniest morsel of clam I’ve ever eaten. We ordered a pizza that was half tie-dye—a cheese pizza drizzled with pesto—and half arugula with slices of Parmesean, tomato and balsamic vinegar. The taste of the tie dye was good, not great. I thought the balsamic overwhelmed the arugula portion, which had an enormous amount of Parmesean. As far as arugula pizzas go, I’ve had better. I must also add, Rubirosa’s pizza is considered a style that is popular in Staten Island and features a crackery crust, which some folks love. I prefer a pizza that is a little chewy and can be folded. When folded this style tends to crack. So, for a pizza experience, it wasn’t what I expected and for $33—there are many good, lower-priced pizzas options in NYC—I expected an incredible pizza. For the amount of money spent, I was disappointed. One final thought, this is a young hip spot and the young folks really seem to be enjoying themselves. I’m a senior, and if, like me, you don’t enjoy the pounding beat of music throughout your meal, you might try another spot.
Be the first to ReplyBest pasta ever.
This restaurant was recommended and did not disappoint. Seating is limited and we were crammed against a wall with no air conditioning upon us. It was soooo hot, but no one wanted to leave in my party. So glad we stayed. Pizza was very good even thought the thin crust was a bit burnt. We had pasta with mushrooms which was absolutely out of this world. I’m Italian and it was the best pasta I have ever had. Waiter was at rebrand really friendly. When I’m in I’m the area I will definitely return.
Be the first to ReplyMaybe second time will be the charm.....
PRO: Lively atmosphere, friendly servers, good service, they offer a nice menu of gluten-free pizza for those seeking it. CON: Ordered the octopus, which came out burnt. Sent it back and received another, almost equally over-charred. There's only one bathroom and the waiting line can run along a couple of the dining tables, so watch where you are seated if this matters to you. Had to call repeatedly the week before to book a table (we had a party of 5 and Resy wasn't accepting our request) because the phone often went unanswered and there was no way to leave a message. The staff is really great, the food just okay for all the hype (there is much better pizza to be had elsewhere in NY). But based on all the rave reviews, maybe we will give it a second chance, and sit at one of the bar area high-tops to avoid the bathroom line.
Be the first to ReplyGreat Pizza and Great Service
We heard about this restaurant on a food tour and decided to stop in for lunch. The place is small but inviting. The staff was warm and friendly. We ordered the tie dye pizza. It was a beautiful pie that tasted even better. The sauce was flavorful and the crust was crispy. The 14 inch pizza was plenty for two. This restaurant will be a frequent eating spot for future NYC trips.
Be the first to ReplyCasual atmosphere - Good Food
Party of 4 ordered salad, pasta dishes and huge pizza. The service was great and the food was tasty. Known for their thin crust pizza, which is not very filling, so try a couple of pasta dishes which come in small or large portions. We stayed at our table for 2 hours and never felt rushed. Food, beer and wine was all very reasonable. This seems to be a locals spot as it was referred by a family member in NYC. No reservations, so you may want to come early, pop in a bar on the street and wait to be seated.
Be the first to ReplyGreat food great people
Loved the food was super tasty. Staff were really friendly and we ended up going back as we enjoyed our meal so much. Pizzas were great and would also recommend the rice balls.
Be the first to ReplyGreat pizza!
A kind barber recommended this restaurant when we were on the hunt for authentic New York pizza...and it didn't disappoint. The pizza was delicious...you could taste the freshness in each ingredient. We also had the antipasto platter, crispy calamari, and rice balls. The Caesar salad was to die for! I only didn't give them a 5 because the space is really tight and felt claustrophobic at times. Great service and great food.
