Philomena's

Classic pizza shop vibes. Limited hours & seating so make sure that you're paying attention. Service is quick though and staff is friendly.Small selection of slices in the display which ensures that they remain fresh and turn over often. I got a fresh Classic NY slice right out of the oven.Ingredients are top notch with a delicious sauce, quality cheese. The cook was fantastic with a crisp crunch.

Pizza is great Pepperoni cups Service is friendly and quick Bottle Italian Beers And best Pizza on QueensBlvd Dough is aged 72 hours !

Great pizza has arrived!Available by the slice or two style of pie, Philomena's is turning out a unique crust and visitation on the traditional pizzeria joint slices. The crust is a fermented dough that makes for a very tasty slice. Specialty slices are available in the square style. They have limited hours and are closed Monday and Tuesday.

I visited Philomena's with my boyfriend and roommate. It was quite a long wait despite only five other people ahead of us in line. The display case was pretty empty, yet it was 7pm on a Friday night. This location seems like a favorite with the locals, and many of the customers ahead of us were ordering to-go and bring pies back home.We wanted to order an 18" but 1) they don't allow for half and half of certain pies; they do allow for half and half of a different mix of toppings and 2) we were told it would take over an hour and a half wait?!?! So we opted for ordering 2 different slices individually instead. Unfortunately the staff member taking our order confirmed the display case were the only options, so we had only 3 different slices to choose from. All of us ordered 1 slice of the Magherita square and the Jersey Shore (also a square slice, with sausage, peppers, and onions).I preferred the jersey shore slice because there was more flavor, but the dough was not even as there were parts of the square slice that was thinner and thus had burnt edges on the side. The pizza was good, but the inventory was disappointing on the night we visited.

Just an overall great pizza place. The Bianca (white) was notably excellent--we're talking elite tier. The dough is airy and light and it is loaded with fresh, gooey ricotta and mozzarella. It's an absolutely phenomenal taste sensation and you would do yourself a disservice to miss out. Overall, the place is really clean. It is rare to find a great pizza place that sells by the slice *and* has non-sticky tables where you can enjoy said slice. Truly rarefied (and delicious smelling) air.

When my group of friends stopped here mid-late afternoon to give the place a shot I figured I would have a slice after basically doing a food tour in LIC. I wound up eating 2.5 slices hahaI was initially thinking we should order a fresh pie, but loved that we ordered a wide variety of the slices they had in the case. The slices move fast so I believe the quality holds up.I was able to eat so much because the slices are delicious, but there is lightness and crispness to the slice that makes you not want to stop. The classic slice was my favorite all the elements are there - the thinness, tangy delicious sauce, fluffy charred crust. If I wasn't worried about my heart exploding I could see eating a full pie.The margarita was more like a sicilian slice to me. It seems they fully cook the dough so under the sauce the top of the dough is browned in the oven, which I think I would have liked to see it less fully cooked so the sauce and dough can meld together a bit more (but what do I know?)- fresh cheese and basil top this "simple" square.The potato slice was topped with thin scalloped potatoes, I don't recall what was under (I only had a bite of this), but my thought was this was a delicious rustic slice.The broccoli rabe (one of my favorite veges) sits atop a garlicky puree of fluffy truffle oil chickpeas along with the airy into crispy bottom dough - it was a real treat. This was fresh out of the oven. This along with the potato slice I believe are vegan, but I don't pay attention to those things. Philomena's is the kind of place where after your try their slices you wonder to yourself what kind of crap pizza have you been eating elsewhere all your life thinking it was good.

Decent sized place with a few tables and lots of seats. Plenty of metered parking (free on Sunday).The staff were helpful and friendly. They brought the slices out to us when they were ready.Wanted the Broccoli Rabe slice initially, but it was still in the oven for another 30 minutes. They did get us a slice when it came out! They even sliced it in half for us to share. Broccoli rabe can get pretty bitter, but this was a perfect amount of bitterness. The Creme di Ceci (chickpea puree with truffle oil) paired amazingly with the broccoli rabe. Glad we were able to get a slice!I started with the Potato slice instead. The dough was so airy and crispy. It was shingled with a ton of delicious thinly sliced potatoes. A very filling slice. I enjoyed this with garlic powder sprinkled liberally on top.Would definitely be back when I'm craving pizza!

By far the best pizza in Queens and lived up to all the social media hype. Dave, Kenny and staff is no doubt the most amazing group of people you will ever meet in the hospitality industry. They're engaging, super friendly and deeply care about their pizza.Philomena's is worth the trip, no matter where you're coming from. Every single item on the menu is to die for but my only regret is lol, appetite wasn't big enough to consume everything.Everyone is treated like family and though it was my first time there, Dave greeted me and we talked as if we've known each other for quite some time. This is an absolute gem, and you will be doing a disservice by not visiting Philomena.I am a lifetime supporter for sure.Keep up the great work you guys deserve it all.

Philomena's is my go to pizzeria when I crave a light, crispy hot cheesy slice of pizza. It really is not like any other pizzerias in the neighborhood. They offer restaurant quality pizza without having to sit in a restaurant with full service. Everyone who works here is so friendly and nice. They offer a few different types of unique varieties readily available depending on the day and season. The best part is that I can by them in slices instead of committing to a whole pie, which allows me to have more of a variety. They also have a great menu. You can order 12 inch, 18 inch round pies or square pies. I normally buy a few different slices to go. Their plain cheese slice has a unique fresh flavor topped with a little ripped up fresh basil and fresh grated cheese. When you look at their square pizza, you may think it is heavy but surprisingly it is light, airy and crunchy. My new favorite right now is their roman style pizza with chickpea puree topped with chopped broccolini with thin sliced garlic. This place can get very busy. I would recommend not coming too late or there will be slim pickings but you can still order pies.

Good pizza, good vibes, and not super pricey! Service is super quick. There's a decent amount of seating. I tried the hot honey pizza and it was delicious. The honey with the meat added a lot of flavor. If you're in Sunnyside, you should absolutely give this place a try.
