Best

Everything you heard or read about this place is true. Great pizza.

Worst

How this place continues to be rated best pizza on SI is beyond me. Joe & Pat's is way better all around. Yes, it's a different style of pizza but taste is taste. I guess at $11 a...

Denino's Pizzeria 6/18/2006

Staten Island is not know for their pizza but Denino's Pizzeria is one of the exceptions. They make delicious pizza where the crust is crispy but not burnt, the cheese is saucy and flavorful and you can pick up a slice that doesn't fold over and pour grease on you. One of the better slices on the island if I say so myself. more

I don't know what all the fuss is! 11/12/2005

I don't know what all the fuss is, but this place stinks! The pizza first of all, is burnt black all underneath! And no, that is not tasty, its cancerous! And its in some hole in the ground, poorly lit, and has tables like Mc Donalds. Also, the waiters are NOT friendly. I wonder how they ever got a Zagat rating! more

Excellent Food Denino's 9/13/2005

My family dines and orders food from Deninos at least once a month. The food is fresh, delicious & reasonably priced. The restaurant uses disposable plates and dinnerware. Don't go between the hours of 6pm-9pm because you will have up to 2hours wait. It is a family owned business so they care about the quality of the food. more

  • Denino's has been a gathering place for families and friends all these many wonderful years. Rest assured we will continue the same tradition of quality family dining in our new Brick, New Jersey location. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Carlo Denino's passing.

Editorial

  • The Scene
    Run by the original founders and their descendants since 1937, this working-class tavern caters to people on and off Staten Island, including Brooklynites and folks from Bayonne, a short bridge ride away. Families abound, often with small children in tow. Decor is strictly utilitarian, and service--most likely by a member of the extended family--is friendly, brisk but unhurried.

    The Food
    Oh, what a pie! Dissect the 16-inch plain rounds, and every component measures up: the thin yet supportive bread-dough crusts, tangy rich red sauce and cheese so gooey it oozes right off the edges of the pan. If you go for toppings, sausage is a good choice, as are a springtime bounty of fresh, crisp vegetables. Or opt for a white pie: sauceless cheese over a layer of sweet onions, sprinkled with olive oil. The restaurant serves heros and platters as well, but face it: You're here for the pizza.
