Retro Pizza Cafe

The Cobb salad I had was delicious. Nice mix of greens, cheese, chicken, bacon, croutons, and other ingredients. The pizza there is also pretty good, thin crispy crust, the way I like it. The owners are very nice too, it’s a family owned business.

Veggie pizza (medium-​$ 17 large $ 19) has amazing finely chopped veggies wonderful thin crisp crust GREAT VALUE… Movie theme cute place small shoppe!

Very friendly. Speedy delivery. The pizza is okay, not amazing, but the pasta dishes are great and they often throw in free garlic knots. I like the spaghetti with bolognese sauce and the baked ziti.

Ok maybe it’s because it’s late, and I was hungry, and it was easy to place a delivery… I had all intentions of not liking what I ordered. I got eggplant parm. It was really, surprisingly, deliciously good. I have nothing negative to say. Not only was it delicious but the «side» of pasta was so large that I barely made a dent.
Will def order from here again.

This is a great pizza place in Astoria. I always get great service and great pizza at retro. I use to go to other places but by far this place is best.
Daisy is the manager and makes sure everything is perfect. See you soon

I really don’t understand the great reviews. Mediocre pizza and even less mediocre service. I solely went to this placed based on reviews, and was not impressed… maybe an off night?

Finally I have found the best pizzeria in Astoria! The staff is friendly, the delivery is quick! Most of all the food is fresh and tastes great!

So apparently if they are not trying to make something up to you they are garbage. The below review was after the owner called numerous times begging for a second chance. Sent me free food that was actually pretty good. Flash forward to ordering again, same order she gave me for free, and it was horrible. This place is trash and will not get another chance. I’m sorry but Astoria does not have good pizza and this place is near the bottom of what they have. Beware and look elsewhere…
After a terrible experience I was contacted by «Daisy». She apologized profusely and offered to try to make it up to me by sending me a free margarita pizza. I was out of town but we decided that in Halloween she would send me a free pizza to make it up and show that it was just an off night.
Halloween night came and so did my free pizza and some cannoli’s. Unlike the first time the pizza looked great, was not greasy and care was taken during delivery. The cannoli filling looked as it should this time and didn’t look thrown together. So far I was impressed.
Now to the taste, the pizza tasted great. Clean flavored, not to slaty and fresh mozzarella. The dough was a little chewy but had good flavor and it was very enjoyable. The cannoli was much better this time around. Last time the issue was how they looked but they were improved this time around so that was a nice touch.
They have proven that customer service is not dead. What a great experience I had with the management. I would like to thank them for providing such a great experience. If I order again it will definitely be the margarita pizza.

I had the margarita slice it was way too sweet for me I had my 3 girl friends try it and they agreed as well. It’s the sauce that makes the pizza sweet

quick delivery. I ordered Margherita pizza and I really enjoyed it! Good tomato sauce and I felt little bit too much garlic in it but taste was good!

Love the pizzas, love the sandwiches And the staff is very friendly. I always come back. I highly recommend the penne a la vodka.

This is my absolute favourite spot to eat in Astoria. the owners are the sweetest most generous people and will always greet you with a smile and great conversation. They go out of their way to know their customers– they even know what my roommate and I like to order without needing prompted.
Great vibes, open late, great music and food selection.

Great pepperoni pizza for the price only $ 12. Cannoli was great and tiramisu was too mushy and wet. Prosciutto and Gorgonzola cheese panini was the best. Must try!

The slices are very good. I’ve had their margherita. Crust is chewy without being too thick. The sauce is yummy and the ingredients are high quality. Prices are standard.
It’s nothing fancy, just a little stop-​in shop, but it’s worth it if you’re hungry and you want just a slice.

Super quick delivery, buttery/​doughy/​garlicy pizza. Arrived hot. Garlic knots were also delicious. Mmmm.

The pizza arrived destroyed. More than half of the cheese was on the top of the box. I called to complain and they sent a second pizza. This one is not destroyed but just about raw. Felt bad for the delivery guy so I took it.
I wont try this place again.

I do love this pizza place! It’s not that old– I think maybe about 2 years old? What I really like about the place is the late night hours! Late night hours for pizza?!! A godsend! And the pizza is really good! The sauce is on the sweet side so if you don’t fancy sweet sauce then you might not like it– but lucky for me– I do love sweet sauce! :-) I’ve tried multiple kinds of pizza here and liked every kind of slice I’ve tried! This trip– I got a regular slice and a Sicilian grandma’s slice– so good! Another thing– the staff is super nice! There is usually a woman there when I stop in– I never got her name but I think she owns it or is at least a manager– she’s super sweet! They also have baked goods– I’ve had the cannoli’s and they definitely are good! I also like the way they have the place decorated with all old movie posters and old tv stuff– hence «Retro» I guess lol If you are nearby this place– stop in for a slice! You won’t be disappointed! :-)

Easily makes one of my favorite pizza places. The margherita pizza was sweet and crisp, thin and filling. It was perfect!

Dear retro Pizza,
I’m so sorry for saying you’re not as good as palitos was back in the day. Clearly you have stepped up your game! I am in love with this pizza. It is my favorite in Astoria by far. The staff is friendly and always is willing to make me a slice of that delicious barbecue pizza even if there’s none left on the bar. And they still have the latest hours of pizza places in the area which is amazing. They’ve also made special orders for me on the spot, filling a calzone with whatever I wanted. Definitely too enthusiastic thumbs up I am ashamed about how many times I’ve stopped by only because I’m supposed to be on a diet. Oh well, diet always starts tomorrow!

I think the chance of finding a really good pizzeria in NYC that is open late night is basically slim to none, I think I have a better chance at finding Sasquatch. So the perk about this place is that it is open crazy late, think 2am weekdays and 4am fri and sat. I came on a Monday night around midnight and it didn’t do it for me, maybe if I came earlier in the day, it might have been better.
The food:
Regular– it was an OK regular, but it was kinda salty for me. The bottom could have been more crisp and the cheese was just reg cheese
Bacon, red onion and mushroom– this was respectable. The ingredients worked will with the slice, it was good not great.
Garlic knots– they were OK, I wish they were softer and fluffier. They were kinda hard and didn’t have a nice chew.
