“A few of my fellow NY transplants on here have said that this isn't NY pizza apart from the size of the slice, and they're right to an extent”
Low rating for service as they weren’t taking pickup orders on a Friday night at 7pm.
You won’t get the super thin undercarriage NY slice here, but it’s still tasty and is a solid pizza.
The white pie and garlic knots were so greasy we couldn’t eat them. The vodka pizza was rather tasty though!

“A delicious pizza and a team that cares.”
A delicious pizza and a team that cares. It might be your takeout spot but you should try dining in the clean and inviting dining room. They serve beer and wine and the pizza is delicious. Served hot and fresh ingredients, they use cornmeal unde the crust so it has a great crisp crunch not soggy. We had cheese NY style with mushrooms, olives and Basil. Easy and affordable.

“Other positive reviews and pictures were consistent with our experience.”
Other positive reviews and pictures were consistent with our experience. Friendly staff, typical NY style pizza, inexpensive (18 inch pizza enough for 3-4).

My boyfriend and I had been craving some NY style pizza after a trip to the east coat a few months back and this place hit the spot. It was fast, delicious and a great price. Clean restaurant and we’re excited to go back!

“I'm going 4.5 but rounding up.”
I'm going 4.5 but rounding up. The young lady who took care of us was very friendly; in fact, every staff member we spoke to was great and attentive. We were sat immediately and our food and drinks were brought out quickly. A few of my fellow NY transplants on here have said that this isn't NY pizza apart from the size of the slice, and they're right to an extent. No, this is not the kind of pizza you're going to get at an old family run Brooklyn pizzeria. I ordered the cheese pie and there seemed to be another type of cheese blended in with the mozzarella (perhaps for more flavor?), and the sauce tasted closer to a vodka style sauce than a rich tomato sauce. This is something you'd likely find in the now trendy Williamsburg or Dumbo area of Brooklyn. The kind of places that do a more gourmet style. Now, is that a bad thing? No, not really. I didn't dislike it, but it didn't really remind me of the slice I get back home, which was what I was expecting. I'd come back here, but I'd likely try one of their other specialty pizzas rather than the cheese pie. Those seem to be their more strong points.

Chewy, tasty crust that scratches the NY pizza itch. Thursday night is a double dip opportunity to get good deals. Half price wine and a $22 pizza special!

The manager Mike makes you feel like family as soon as you walk in! The pizza was great at the beginning but it has improved over last 2 years. It’s the best pizza in the area.

“Beautiful, clean, and welcoming environment.”
Beautiful, clean, and welcoming environment. The pizza was perfectly made. Crust was baked to perfection. Toppings were fresh and abundant. Service was impeccable. A young man named Harrison tended to us and he was a gentleman, well spoken, and treated us better than we have been treated in some time in MANY establishments. He was funny, kind, and knowledgeable. I asked him about the name of the place and its origin, and he gave a detailed overview of its history. I frequent restaurants, and at my age I want impeccable service, food that makes you want to eat your fingers off, and a reasonable price all nestled in a beautiful and clean place. Bettys is exactly that and more. I loved it. Do not let this place slip you by. If you want pizza that is FRESH, made fast, and made well, Bettys has to be your go to. Final mention - I am from New York and the look of the pizza, the taste, and the way it was cut took me back to when I was a kid, over 40 years ago, when my brother and I, and our cousins, would stop at the end of a weekend of spending time together and before we would part ways we would stop at a pizza place in Queens that we all loved. Bettys literally reminded me of that time in my life. Thank you, Harrison, and thank you Bettys. And God bless the parents of young Harrison. You did an impeccable job having raised a true gentleman.
