★★★★★ 5.0 Brett Ari Fischer · Feb 2026

Simply put, the trip to Staten Island is worth it for Denino’s. The regular cheese pie alone is outstanding. Perfect crust with that slight crisp underneath, great char on the bubbles, fresh mozzarella, balanced sauce, and just the right amount of basil. It’s simple, but when it’s done this well, that’s all you need. The vodka pie was unreal. The sauce is creamy, rich, and packed with flavor without feeling heavy. It coats the mozzarella perfectly and the crust still holds up slice after slice. That sweet, slightly tangy vodka sauce with the char from the oven is a combination that’s hard to beat. The buffalo wings were excellent. Crispy outside, juicy inside, and the sauce had real flavor, not just heat. The fried zucchini was a sleeper hit. Perfectly breaded, crunchy, and great dipped

Food and service perfect! Best fried calamari and red mussels I've had in decades. The 'garbage' pie is fantastic, loaded with meat, great crust! Our server was cordial and did a great job.

★★★★★ 5.0 Matt Mancuso · Jun 2025

Growing up on Staten Island and now living in NJ for 20 years, I still pay the toll to come back here regularly. Do not miss out on the fried calamari & other appetizers... consistently high quality and generous portions. Great pies as always. Service is efficient even when busy... many of the servers have been there for ages.

Denino's is a Staten Island classic for a reason! We've been coming here for years, and it never disappoints when you want that perfect thin-crust bar pie. The crust is super crispy, not too thick, and holds up great even with heavier toppings. We got the garbage pie (loaded with sausage, meatballs, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions – pure chaos in the best way) and a garlic pie on the side, both were killer. The clam pie is also a standout if you're into that.
