“ Very solid slice. Nice and crispy under carriage. Wasn’t overly greasy. The touch of grated parm was very nice. ”
“ Cello’s is a great spot! We were visiting, and my brother-in-law, who lives in the neighborhood, took us there saying it was one of the best and surprise!..it really was. It’s a small place with just two people working, but the pizza is amazing. The crust was perfectly cooked with great texture and flavor. The vodka slice was my favorite so tasty! The vibe is retro and casual, everything feels simple and honest, just really good pizza. It was a great recommendation and definitely didn’t disappoint. ”
“ Stopped by before a nearby play and tried a slice of the jalapeno pepperoni—pure perfection. Crispy crust, bold flavors, just the right amount of heat. This pizza is the stuff dreams are made of. Can’t wait to come back for more! ”
“ One bite, everybody knows the rules. Great atmosphere, interior giving old school casual Italian vibes. Music is always great. The slices are top notch. The burrata is definitely worth trying but their square is near perfection. Price is a little high per slice but nothing unusual from what you’d find from that area in Manhattan. ”
“ Why is this place not more famous? There was a decent crowd Saturday evening but the crust at this place deserves more. It is L’Industrie equivalent (slightly better in my opinion). The vodka slice was great so was the margherita. The tomato sauce could be a tad more flavourful. Great service and sitting space as well. ”
“ Since my partner became a regular at Cello’s Pizzeria, it’s become more than just a pizza spot—it’s a daily ritual filled with friendly faces and fantastic food. The staff always greet him with smiles and small talk, making the place feel like a second home. Their kindness and welcoming nature truly set them apart. But let’s talk about the pizza—crispy, flavorful slices that stand out in a city full of options. Each bite offers a unique blend of tastes that keep us coming back for more. I’ve grown to love their pizza just as much as he does. Cello’s isn’t just about great food; it’s about the people who make every visit special. It’s a place where quality meets community, and that combination is truly irresistible. ”
“ What a nyc gem! The cheese slice was fantastic and our favorite. The vodka slice is also incredible. You can’t go wrong. The cherry on top was the owner passing out donuts to the customers. ”
“ Amazing slices (I had a regular and a vodka pepp). Light, crispy, and super nice interior with some seating. Not much of a wait for slices on a weeknight and friendly folks all around. The owner was welcoming and making sure everyone was taken care of. Will definitely work this spot into my pizza routine. ”
