Razza

I recently dined at Razza, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

We started with the meatballs, which were incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. The Greens Salad, while not as good as the other dishes, was still fresh and enjoyable.

We tried four pizzas: the East Coast Margarita, Burrata, Project Hazelnut, and Santo. All were delicious, but the Project Hazelnut stood out as a unique and was the favorite among everyone at the table. Absolutely DELISH! Its inventive combination of flavors made it a standout dish that we couldn't get enough of.

Overall, Razza offers an amazing dining experience with fantastic food. I highly recommend trying the Project Hazelnut pizza - it's a must!

This place really is no joke. From the moment we walked into the establishment, to when we left it has been an amazing experience. NYT rated this place best pizza in NY. We were determined to try.

My bf and I walked in around 6pm on a Saturday and they were able to put my number down and text me when a table was ready which was less than 30 minutes. At the front, the host was so incredibly kind and hospitable. We were lead into the establishment which has a rustic sort of vibe to it. Dark lighting, beautiful smell of the za, and not too crowded given this place is busy!

FOOD ORDERED
Bread and Butter: this was delicious for sure but spending $9 for something you usually get free was def a new thing for me. Bread was soft and perfectly salty and the butter tasted so fresh, buttttt was it worth $9 when I can spend on more unique appetizer?
Ceci: Now this is an appetizer! We actually added this to the bread and butter and it was delicious all together. My bf said he couldn't stop eating it.
Burrata: WOW! Something about the crunchy warmth of the pizza topped with a cool Burrata made it just an amazing experience. So fresh.
Guancia: WOW (again)! This one was my favorite. This was a complete contrast to the Burrata which was perfect. It was rich in flavor and guanciale was an incredible rich bacon flavor but if the bacon was only the fat part - so amazing.

*NOTE: the pies are thin and small - you def can finish your own!l

Conclusion:
Get yourself over here

In summary, if you're a pizza aficionado or just someone who appreciates good food, Razza is a must-visit. Five stars all the way for their dedication to quality, flavor, and overall dining excellence. Bravo, Razza!

Everything at this spot was awesome

Our server Sean P was very attentive and friendly. One of the best service teams we've seen a a restaurant in a long time. Everyone on the team was accommodating, and really on their game. The food and drink was fantastic as well. Definitely lives up to all the hype. Great restaurant, food and staff.

Razza was really good but a little on the pricer side. The pizza's were 24 and 25 which I believe is a little much however I really loved the Calabrese and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes an extra heat! Also, cannot forget the staff! Our waitress was really kind and attentive (wish I remembered her name to give her a shoutout).

We have dined in before and absolutely love this restaurant but decided to try them out for take-out. Took a little under 1.5 hours (as was stated in the Uber eats app) so obviously the pizza was cold. We warmed it up and it was fantastic- same quality! We had the Santo pizza which included really delicious sausage on top and the signature thin crust. I also decided to try out a loaf of their bread. I do wish it was a tiny bit less crisp on the outside but extremely fresh! It comes without any packaging so needs to be placed in an airtight container or package to maintain freshness. Would definitely recommend this option if you are looking to try Razza and can't get a reservation or wanting to enjoy some high quality pizza at home.

I wanted so badly to love this place when we finally dined in person but unfortunately it didn't blow me away. Don't get me wrong, it's still delicious pizza. But I still stand by my previous review that I'm not sure it's THE BEST pizza ever.

Knocking one star down for the price - 4 pizzas and meatballs cost $147 including tax and tip which is pretty steep in my opinion.

The meatballs are honestly the real star here. My favorite pizza was the Santo then the burrata which tasted very fresh and like it had high quality ingredients. The Funghi was good but could have used more salt and I was underwhelmed by the Calabrese.

The service was fantastic though. They have a nice waiting area in the front with counter space and hooks. Our waiter was helpful with recommendations and the food came out quick!

As a self proclaimed pizza eating pro and lover, this is truly been the best pizza I have ever eaten. The crust was a perfect blend of crunch and fluffiness while maintaining perfect structural integrity. The flavors were spot on from sauce to cheese to toppings. My only problem was not having enough stomach space to order all their pies!
Also, you need to get the bread and butter. Worth the cost for something that is often free.
An added bonus was that Phil from Somebody Feed Phil was casually eating dinner with family when we were here on a random Tuesday!

I would give this amazing pizza spot 5 stars if they didn't keep your credit card hijacked to hold one's reservation!
Fortunately we got seats at the bar on a Saturday evening and had some really awesome pies. We tried the margarita and pepperoni pies and the meatballs - all were perfect!!
We love the service and wait staff, very friendly!
Coming from New York it's hard to find decent brick oven pizza but this spot serves up a pie with a smokey crust and savory flavor that hits home!
There could be a little more cheese on the pies but the sauce is just sweet enough that compliments the whole pizza.

Someone please tell the owner to stop forcing patrons to give their credit card for reservations. Very discouraging and you'll get customers even if you don't follow this rule (which should be against the law for all businesses!!)

Soooooooo good! Razza has been on my list of spots to try for so long, but as the poor planner that I am, I never think to make a rez with enough time, anddddd they never have anything free. Luckily I turned a year older which means someone else made the (surprise) rez and I celebrated 31 with great pizza, wine and panacotta.

Upscale pizza is the only way to put it. You could come in jeans and sneakers and a sweatshirt or a little on the dressed up side and fit in either way. The space is so cozy and nice and now I know to try to get a couple seats at the bar the next time I want to come in without a rez, I am sure I'll get luckily with a little wait time. Our waiters were so friendly, let us take our time, made suggestions, all around great.

For appetizers, we started with the ceci (chickpeas in olive oil and parm) and the kale caesar. Ceci was tiny and tasty! And as a chickpea fan it was a nice little app. The dressing on the kale caesar was pretty perfect as well. I ordered a little side of bread to scrape of every bit of olive oil and caesar dressing that I could.

On to the pies. I am a sucker for a red pie and a white pie on the table so we got the funghi and the burrata pies. Funghi was incredible, and if you are a mushroom lover like me, you need it. The burrata pie was also a winner. There were so many tasty pies on the menu and I cannot wait to get two new ones on the next visit.

Anddd lastly dessert! The pannacotta (new to both of us) was so good. Like a delicious custardy flan. Oh and the bottle of wine we got was just *perfect*.

Thanks for a great bday din, Razza!
