Beril EsenOctober 13, 2017Pizza supreme is amazing: perfect meat ingredients, sweet aftertaste. Sausage & broccoli rabe pizza, on the other hand, not so much: bitterness of broccoli & saltiness of sausage was too overpowering.
Behrad EatsApril 19, 2016Throw some Sopresatta on their Classic 50 year old NY-style family recipe for one killer New York pizza!
AbNovember 27, 2015Came with doubts. Left a believer. One of the best thin-crust pizzas I've ever put in my mouth. Try that vodka pizza folks keep talking about.
Love this place! Their Vodka pie with a fresh arugula is so GOOD! Mozz sticks, pastas are simple yet great tasting. One can tell they use really good ingredients. Must try!
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Invite hungry friends who will let you eat off their plate—almost everything is served family style—and fight over the rich & crusty eggplant parmagiano or the spicy sausage & broccoli rabe cavatelli. Read more
Sirus OrndoffMarch 22, 2017Good pizza. Great service. Excellent atmosphere. 6 slices in a small-the large is very big. I wanted to get the large, but I wanted to walk instead of roll out the front door.
Elvis RodricksApril 21, 2020Between the classic pizza and the thai dye, the dye has me hooked! Spaghetti was unique, being thin and freshly made from scratch, with a homemade sauce taste to finish!
Serious EatsMarch 20, 2013Soul-satisfying red sauce Italian done right. Great lasagna, chicken parm, some of the best pizza in Little Italy.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantApril 16, 2017V. good, outstanding service. We brunched with rubirosa salad, ricotta pancakes, panna cotta with rhubarb and strawberry sauce - delish. Pizzas ok. ambiance leaves a lot to be desired.
Obsessed with the pizza here. Thin crust and so delicious. Their antipasto platter is great too. You can't go wrong. Expect a wait but it's worth it.
Zach RSeptember 20, 2015Had a great experience- the caprese salad and Rubirosa Supreme pizza are incredible. The Black Manhattan is an excellent cocktail pairing to go along with them, too.
Shiyana BellamyAugust 10, 2015Their velvet curtain entrance made me hesitate at first, but I went in. The Tie-Dye pizza is the best thing I ever had. They not only serve pies, but have rice balls and savory handmade pasta.
Mike FolkertSeptember 16, 2012If you are a fan of very thin (almost cracker-like) crust, the pizza here is the best we have found of that style in the city - the large-format lasagna and chicken parm are also excellent.
As you think about what pizza to order, don't overlook the appetizers and sides. The calamari might have been the best I've had and the Brussels sprouts with bacon, real good
Roberto BuaApril 5, 2015Get the lasagna (definitely the crown jewel) and the baked clams. Old school Italian-American food with a modern twist.
AndyAugust 14, 2018Every bit as good as described. The classic pizza is amazing and the cocktails are amazing. I recommend the quarter water.
Grace BarrMay 19, 2018Vodka pizza / supreme pizza 😊 sausage Ragu was a true al dente and was delicious!
order the rubirosa salad, rice balls, and tie dye pizza - one of the best pizza spots in all of new york. thin breakable crust, sour and cheesy
J CrowleyJanuary 31, 2014Splitty Splitty alert on the braised lamb pappardelle and cavatelli with sausage. This tag team combo could give Demolition a run for their money.
Paige CJanuary 3, 2016Order the tie-dye pizza and be sure to add pepperoni! The staff could be friendlier, but don't expect much. It's the pizza that draws people in!
Christine TranSeptember 17, 2016Great service and vibe. I can live on a diet of Supreme, Vodka, and Tie-Dye pizzas.
Claudia MMarch 13, 2013I want someone to create an app that sends me a personal alert when their black kale pizza is their special. Or better yet, just sends the pizza straight to my apt, because let's just save time.
Crazy delicious crab pasta and the wine is good. Very cozy with dim lights. Will certainly com back for more.
Anuj MathurNovember 22, 2014One of the best chicken parm plates in the city. It's the size of a large dinner plate and comes with a healthy bowl of spaghetti alla chitarra for $22.
Theodore PapanestorosMay 26, 2012Great pizza even for the EU standards:) Try the large sized pizza but order 2 different kinds from the menu. It's not mentioned there but it is an option!
You pretty much can't go wrong anywhere on the menu. Start with a caprese or arugula salad. Onwards to the ravioli. Or pizza (fresca). Ask to sit in the back, it's quieter.- Village VoiceMarch 5, 2014Village Voice is proud to welcome Rubirosa to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. Their delicious thin-crust pizza will remind you what pizza should always taste like.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Super thin-crust pizza with a variety of toppings are served at Rubirosa. Try the Vodka variety, but the Supreme (with tomato, mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, and roasted garlic) is the best.
Johis HerassJune 2, 2022Black and white tagliatelle is really really good!! The ruborosa antipasto was great to share a good glass of wine!! I love it at all!
Jaime MNovember 11, 2016Long waits, but worth it. Leave your name and number and visit one of the many nearby bars until they have a spot for you!
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Tasty traditional and gluten-free options in a fun neighborhood in SoHo. Try the tie dye pizza!
Chris KramerJuly 13, 2019The Rubirosa Supreme was so good, our table ordered a second one when we finished the first. One of the best pizzas I’ve had in NYC.
Cole KennedyApril 10, 2015The vodka pizza is one of the best thin crust pizzas you'll ever eat, but I dunno if I'd go as far as saying best in NYC. That honor sticks with Roberta's for me.
Foursquare InsidersOctober 10, 2016"Rubirosa is a classic NYC establishment famous for their vodka and tie-dye pies, not for their Spaghetti & Meatballs, which also happens to be amazing." - Alexa Mehraban, @EatingNYC Read more
Ryan SussanJune 10, 2016Really can't go wrong with anything here. The bartenders are great and the food speaks for itself. Tie dye with garlic and a little crispy
Lucas LinuxSeptember 2, 2017We had the rigatoni, the charcuterie and a pizza. Everything was super delicious and the staff was super nice. Absolutely recommendable!!!
Elif ArdenMay 21, 2016A very small, dark and crowded restaurant, but serves delicious pizzas of the manhattan. As a tourist I tried 7 best pizza restaurants, rubirosa is the yummiest👌👌👌
Kartik SathappanSeptember 2, 2016The crust is crispy and delicious. Also, make sure you get sausage- best I've ever had on pizza.
Ian KennedyFebruary 21, 2021Went half/half with vodka-sauce and arugula. Two totally different experiences, both top notch!
Chris GampatNovember 23, 2021The desserts can be bigger than the entree. This place is super comfy. Go in. You’ll enjoy it!
Autumn ChoiJune 18, 2022Amazing thin pizza, their tie-dye is amazing. Unfortunately no res and only one stall for the whole restaurant, but worth all the inconveniences
Charlotte DunneNovember 22, 2017Cozy joint, lovely staff. Tie Dye pizza is a classic but don’t forget to try the meatballs! Do yourself a favour and come hungry- It's not on the menu but if you ask, they will split pizza toppings for you. I suggest getting a pie with half Vodka and half Supreme to get a taste of the best two pies
Susanne KellyOctober 20, 2017don't tell anyone else but this is the best pizza!! the best. get the tie dye! get the supreme! the vodka sauce is amazing amazing.
Ira BSeptember 1, 2015Very good, very, very thin crust pizza. But prepare for a little heat inside this place. With the exposed light bulbs, candles on tables and furnace in back, you can find yourself a bit overheated.
