What a welcoming and friendly old school gourmet deli. Cold cuts and fresh sandwiches galore and let's not forget their beautifully made pizza. Yes you heard right, Pizza! It ranks up there with New York's best.Rosario's is simply a local Astoria delight.

I wandered into Rosario's on my way to the Astoria-Ditmars (N) station one afternoon, simply because it looked like a charming little vestige of pre-gentrified Ditmars Blvd. The storefront is fairly large, and the shelves are packed with pantry goods ranging from olive oils to tinned fish imported from Italy. I found the prices to be quite reasonable and really enjoyed the large selection of goods available. While I was quietly perusing the shelves, I noticed that a majority of customers who walked in made a beeline to the right side of the store, where the deli/pizza counter was. I wasn't able to try a slice at the time, but after hearing rave reviews about their pizza, I was finally able to get my hands on their Polpette pie ($27) which features meatballs from a family recipe sliced thinly to resemble pepperoni. I'm not a huge meats lover on pizza but I was pretty blown away by how delicious it was. The marinara sauce was bright and perfectly acidic, the meatball discs tender and seasoned, and the dough tossed thin enough for a good crunch but robust enough to prevent any floppiness from the weight of the mozzarella. I've eaten a good amount of pizza in Astoria, and Rosario's easily takes top 3 (maybe even top 1)! I'd love to return and try their margherita slice and their sandwiches too.

I had the eggplant parm sandwich. I enjoyed the crispy bread, and there was a pretty substantial amount of cheese. I felt like it needed something to cut through the richness, but the sandwich was otherwise pretty good. It's a lot of food, which justified the $14 price tag.

***First things first, be prepared to wait because there's always a line.***Other than that, the slices are so fresh and light, you could easily eat a whole pie. I'd come back for a slice or a whole pie. The crust was so thin and airy, not oily.They have a great selection of beverages and sodas. I'd come back for their market items for sure

The sandwiches here are amazing and we also noticed the service was super fast. I also recommend you get their Italian bread if you want to make your own sandwiches at home.

Hidden gem pizzeria inside of an amazing Italian deli!!! WOW to this pizza! Incredible crust, sauce and fresh cheese. The owner and his daughter are a sweet and kind duo behind the counter. The regular and mushroom slice was beyond delicious and I could probably eat an entire pie to myself. Must try this place if you're in Astoria. Came all the way from Long Island to try!!

Easily the best pizza in queens. The key is the simplicity and quality of the ingredients used. A simple BUT elegant pizza. Also the daughter that works the store with her father is the most genuine and pleasant person you will ever meet. Just a gem of place. These delis (like the Jewish delis) are a dying breed.

Best Pizza my entire visit in New York! Only bad part is Rosario's officially ruined all pizza for me. Best pizza I've had in my entire life. Sauce and mozzarella made from scratch. Incredible. Must stop on your trip to New York.
