I love pizza. This place can Pizza. Key for me: Insanely good gluten free pizza. I genuinely was worried they gave me regular gluten pizza the first few times I ordered because it tastes to me so much like a regular pizza.
We were visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this place. My family is on a gluten free diet and until we got here they were bummed out to not be able to taste some real NYC pizza. Well here they got their wish and LOVED it! Owner was also very nice as they were getting ready to close when we got here. Will come again when we are in town.
This review is for the vegan pie with cheese. First let me say the service was great, for the most part, and I really appreciate them offering a vegan pie (that is also gluten free!). Major props. I’ve seen some gnarly factory farming docs and have seen things I can’t unsee, hence eating vegan.
That said, the only reason for the low stars is just that, it’s not worth $30 and I can’t justify spending it again. The tomato sauce was tasteless and the basil not fresh, and somehow it had like zero flavor. I doused it in chili oil and garlic powder to add flavor. Toppings are needed to make this worth your while. Offering a pie with, say, broccolini and chopped garlic (or even just cheese and mushrooms!) could make this more substantial. I almost got halal cart after this but just decided to call it a night.
My husband and I went here for date night and it was overall a lovely experience. The host (seemed like perhaps the owner?) was just lovely and it was worth the ~10-15 min wait. A little louder than I’d prefer but understandable for a Friday evening. Everything was utterly delicious. We wanted to split one pasta and one pizza, but the pasta is made with egg and I have an egg intolerance so instead we got two pizzas. I got the spirit-free Rosemary Collins to drink and I loved it. We’ll be back, especially since I see they do offer gluten free versions of some menu items (and I will need to be gluten free in the future).
Pronto Pizzeria lives up to its "fine" dining experience as advertised! The owner & staff went over & above their chef duties & truly customized a most delicious dish for my wife & I - since she eats gluten free! & it was super delicious! They made us gluten free pasta with a pesto & cream sauce, broccoli rabe w/garlic, & a specially made tomato sauce paste appetizer w/celery & carrot sticks! Incredible! It's a small restaurant/pizzeria with super delicious food! We loved the owner & staff even more!
