Tufino Pizzeria Napoletana

Wonderful pizza shop primarily but it acts as a wine bar as well. Nice match between the two with a decent wine selection. The decor is simple but what stands out is the large pizza oven in the back. The pizza proprietor here really forms great pizzas.

Highlights are the meatball sliders. Juicy and flavorful with veal and beef. The fried zucchini fries with a great sauce. Crisp and salty. The cappellini cakes. Crisp topped cheese with a pasta like filling. Pizza highlights were the white brie pizza and the spicey honey pancetta pizza. Crisp and soft crust from the wood fired oven. Great service and a great place for a pizza night.

Great place and an open kitchen where you can see where they cook the pizza.

The pizzas here have a very thin crust so if you're in to flavor and not into crust this is a place definitely worth checking out.

The environment is very dark and it is on purpose to give sort of a "artisanal" feel. I feel somewhat uncomfortable in the darkness but this is up to the customer's preference.

The staff is nice but not engaging.

This place is excellent especially if your are vegan.there vegan pizza is great and they have vegan meals as well.

My wife and I lived in Europe for a few years and have been fortunate enough to have gone to Naples, Italy a few times (the birthplace of pizza) and had pizza there.

This is the best pizza we have had since being back in the US. It is authentic neapolitan pizza. If your mind set is NY style "American" pizza, then this might not be the place for you. This hidden gem off Ditmars Blvd in Astoria surprised us with how good it really was. We had the Arancini to start and shared two pizzas (the Bufula and the Vegetarian).

They use top shelf ingredients like bufula mozzarella, organic italian tomato sauce and very fresh veggies. The pizza comes fresh and piping hot, right out of the wood burning oven (from Naples). You have to eat the pizza right away before it cools and loses some of its integrity to really appreciate how good it is. The crust is light and airy...just like in Naples! After we finished our meal, we spoke with the owner and you could hear his passion for great, authentic neapolitan pizza.

The wine list is very good and they have a well rounded menu. So happy to have discovered this place. This was our first of what will be many visits!

I've been there twice. Great experience! I am vegetarian and I was happy with so many options! 4 Cheese Pizza, Margarita and Gnocci are my favorite. Definitely will recommend.
