Friendly Gourmet Pizza

Rude and inconsiderate as to questions of the menu prices. Asked what value is there and got mocked.

Friendly Gourmet PizzaFrom my understanding, NY style pizzas have thiner crusts which allows more focus on the flavors of the topping and sauce. I got a white and Margherita pizza from this cute little corner restaurant. As expected, the pizza slices were thinner than the one's I'm used to. Although different, I enjoyed it! In my opinion, it did bring out the flavors more. As much as I like my carbs, it was a nice shift from overbearing dough.Looking forward to trying more NY style pizzas in the future!

Great pizza! Stopped by for a slice with my son on the way home from school. He loved it, especially the crust. Friendly service, clean and fast!

** MEALPAL REVIEW ONLY **SKIP IF YOU KNOW ABOUT MEALPAL:MealPal is an app where you pay upfront $91 for 12 meals (~$7/meal) which is cheap especially if you're in the city. Each store that offers MealPal makes one special each day, creates it in bulk, and serves that to MealPal customers. The only downside is that you can only place your order starting from 5pm the night before - and people are ridiculously competitive about their meals. Meals can be sold out by 5:10pm, but that's only for 2 places that I've been eyeing so I'll be bitter about that until I get those meals.I can see why more and more places are doing MealPal - like Yelp, it really gives restaurants more exposure. I can tell you that I would never have found this place if it weren't for MealPal (the choices for lunch in FiDi is overwhelming), but I'm so glad that I did!I saw that their Baked Ziti was a hugely portioned dish (MealPal now lets you see if it's a light, standard, or overly filling meal -- very thankful for that update), so I was curious about the amount and decided to try it. With MealPal, you have to say a specific time that you'll pick it up and while most places don't prep it until you arrive, Friendly Pizzeria was ready. Unfortunately I was not. I came about 45 mins after the designated time and the staff immediately reheated my food, without me having to ask. Quite frankly I was confused because one minute I saw my food, and the next it was being passed around--eventually making its way into the oven. They took the initiative to reheat it, no questions asked, and I was really impressed with that.That simple gesture has gained them a huge supporter!!Oh and the Baked Ziti was DELICIOUS. And super filling. Ugh, already drooling just thinking about it. Just the right amount of cheese, sauce, pasta, everything!I also noticed that while they don't sell $1 pizza (my weakness!), they do offer a free soda with 2 slices of pizza (starting at $3/each for cheese). So I guess for FiDi, an area with absolutely no $1 pizzas, it's pretty good. Though to be fair, I haven't had any pizzas anywhere else in FiDi because I usually don't eat pizza unless it's $1 LOL.As for dining in, don't? It's very, very tiny - imagine like a smaller Papaya Dog branch. I almost missed it in trying to find it, but still -- that baked ziti was goooood.Cailin's Recommendations- lmao the Baked Ziti! See photos for the before (when I got the dish) and the after (once I mixed it). So much food!

you took over Majestic on Cortlandt St and put it in the ground. Century 21 reopening, maybe you can get the old owner Don Migel back to show you how to make real pizza

You place your order and by the time you finish paying your pizza is hot and ready. The pizza itself is a good New York style slice and two slices and a drink is $9. All around a great place and experience, I'm only taking off a star because they don't have any seating, and a limited selection of slices.

I ordered a couple of slices (onion and peppers) and had a decent walk (10 mins) to Friendly. I was not in the best of moods...and the pizza instantly perked me up when I got back and partook. Well-made slices. Simple and delicious. The friendly lady who gave it to me. Happy customer, who will return. Thank you.

nicest people downtown. service so good, i'm smiling the rest of the am. i stop by whenever i can.

Rude phone service, Rude delivery person & not helpful whatsoever.Good Pizza Though.

This is not just a pizza place. In the morning they make a killer breakfast. I got the ham, egg and cheese on a croissant. The women are very fast kind, and efficient and they will accommodate any request with a smile.
