Philomena's
Description
Philomena’s in Sunnyside, Queens serves standout, made-to-order pizza with a thin, crispy, foldable crust and fresh ingredients—from a sublime Neapolitan margherita to a light, crisp Sicilian square. Owner-run care shines through in house sauces, fresh basil and grated Parmesan, plus tiramisu and vegan options. Service is warm and personal, though popularity can mean 30–40 minute waits and unpredictable potato-slice availability. Open mainly in the evenings, it’s a neighborhood must-try and a serious contender for best pizza in Queens.

Whenever I come to NYC, I try different pizza places. Philomena’s was DELICIOUS. The Jersey Shore slice is amazing! Owner was incredibly nice, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Service: Takeaway Price per person: $1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Philomena’s makes fantastic pizza it’s a family favorite. All their flavors are delicious! And they have vegan options available too. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because of the elusive potato slice situation. It’s hands down one of my favorites, but the availability feels like a mystery. Such a unique and delicious slice! I’ll check most weekends, and if I come in early they say it’ll be ready later, but when I return it’s either sold out or never got made I’m guessing I’ve tried calling to get a sense of timing, but there’s not really a clear answer. One day my husband stopped in and was so excited to see a whole new tray of potato slices. He wanted to get 4 slices (2 for each of us , he was told there was a 2 slice limit per customer, just on the potato slices, which was a bit of a bummer but a different day he tried to order 4 again and there was no mention of a limit so idk It would be amazing if there was a way to know when to swing by for the best chance at snagging a slice (or four . The pizza itself is always worth the visit just hoping for a little more potato slice predictability. Still one of favorite go to spots! Best pizza in Sunnyside hands down, if not in all of Queens!

Hands down the best plain slice I can remember in a long time. Highlights: Crust is perfectly foldable, is nice and thin but not too thin, and has great flavor Sauce and cheese ratio is great and both have great flavor They rip fresh basil up and grate Parmesan from a block on top after it comes out of the oven. Adds so much depth to the smell and taste So many terrible pizza places in Queens, I don’t know how they stay open. I’ve been searching for something like this for years. I will gladly drive 20 mins past many other pizza places to get here every week
Small but hopping. Call to order in advance, took about 1.5 hours for pick up for two personal pizzas.
Great pizza shouldn’t be a competition, but when it’s this outstanding, I can’t help but write my first Google review to shout from the rooftops that Dave and the Philomena’s team make the best pizza I’ve ever tasted. I grew up in Brooklyn and have spent 30 years here, indulging in countless pizzas—from Di Fara’s to Joe’s, L&B, and countless mom-and-pop shops. I’ve also been fortunate to travel the world, sampling pizzas everywhere, especially in Italy. Philomena’s pizza is so exceptional, it almost feels wrong to eat it. What’s more impressive is the incredible consistency. I’ve been ordering from here for three years, and every time, the quality and flavor blow me away. Dave, you and your pizza are truly a shining light. Thank you for crafting such timeless pizza art. <333
