Ragtime Pizza

Its Kinda Funny that there aren’t more people talking about Ragtime Pizza. It’s Kinda amazing, because I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about their pizza, if I’m lying I’m dying. If I know anything about Mike Ragtime it’s that he’s not bowing to anyone’s whims right now, and I Kinda respect that. Ragtime Pizza is the Pride of Long Island.

On my way home I drive past Ragtime Pizza many times, but finally stopped in. A little off the beaten path, Ragtime is a quaint cozy place. It is small but don’t be fooled it’s actually quite roomy. They have a hug mural on the wall that adds to the allure of the place. The tables have nice sconces to provide low light when dining in, which I did.
They don’t have a huge selection of pizza available, but let me tell you, what they’re selling is enough. I targeted the meatball and buffalo slice. The first one I ate was the meatball. It had a crunchy bottom and could not be folded and that was fine. The meatballs on top were real good and had flavor that stood out. I ate everything without waist. The next slice was my favorite, go to slice, buffalo chicken! This slice was amazing! It had a soft crust with fresh chicken meat. It was gooey and had some kick to it. I really enjoyed every minute of it till the end. I wanted to go back for another.
This place is great! I think it’s a must go to for pizza lovers. It’s nice and quiet and out of the way. If your a student and want to work and eat, this is the place for you. I actually watched the news, worked, and had time to write this review. Definitely check out Ragtime, Lynyrd Skynyrd did!

Very friendly, very accommodating, and very good pizza. The secret is in the sauce and theirs is outstanding. A very enjoyable pie every time.
Hint: if Brookhaven FD is having a spaghetti dinner fundraiser– go. It’s usually another opportunity to get Ragtime’s great sauce.

This review is based solely on the customer service and atmosphere of this pizzeria. I walked out without eating, so I cannot speak to the quality of the pizza itself.
I went in on a Saturday around 12:45 and stood at the counter where the pizzas were. This is generally how pizzerias are set up, so you can point to which pizza you are getting (if it is not a standard regular or sicilian.) Apparently, this was the wrong place to stand. I was not acknowledged by the woman who was working behind the counter, but I figured when she finished what she was doing, she would greet me. I was wrong. Another customer walked in a stood on the other side of the «L» shaped counter. After waiting a couple of minutes, a man came out from the back and asked her what he could get for her. WHAT? I was there first. Again, I figured it was an honest mistake — maybe he didn’t see me on the other side. Then the woman said twice that she would be right with me, she was working on another order. But all during this time, the other customer who walked in after me ordered, paid for and received her pizza. And then the man that helped her turned away and went into the back. Ok, I know I am not invisible. I do not know why either of them couldn’t just put a regular slice of pizza in the oven for me. Very rude — so I walked out.
Regarding the atmosphere, it is an old fashioned pizza parlor inside. Old booths but they appeared clean enough. However, it is very dark inside — which I never like in a food establishment.
It is possible that I caught them on a bad day, but I value customer service. If you can’t make a customer feel welcomed and appreciated, you shouldn’t be in business.

Great Pizza! Great people. Some of the best sauce and crust around. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for good pizza.

Jerry must be either smoking crack or he works at papa nicks! This place has been in business for as long as they have because it is so good. They don’t use cheap cheese like the other local spots and their pizza is saucy unlike the others as well. If you compare their food to pizza bagels then you are obviously a moron who the hell eats pizza bagels anyway???

I have been going to Ragtime for many years since they first opened! I love the food very good have never gotten anything bad! I even travel 25 min to get the pizza or calzone!

Very good pizza. I doubt the bad reviews actually ate here.

Pass on ragslime and go up the road to papa nicks, much better pizza

I have been going to Ragtime for over 25 years. The pizza is great. The sauce and cheese are perfect with the thin crust. The family that owns Ragtime go out of their way to make everyone welcome. The pizza is great. If you like Calzones they are the go to place. A large Calzone can feed three without a problem…

IDK what others are talking about but this pizza place is awesome! We actually perfer their pizza to LaMargerita

I would rather eat On the Rag Pizza. Disgusting. I can’t believe this place has been in business so long with the garbage they serve.

I agree that home made pizza bagels would be far superior to Ragtime Pizza. Simply the worst pizza I have ever tasted. I never had a sub or hot dish but based on what I did have I wouldnt even try. Not sure if they use cheap products/​ingredients or simply do not know how to make a decent pizza. I will never go back here. It would be a major waste of money.

I make a better pizza bagel at home. The pizza sucks either by the slice or as a pie. The food hot subs and pasta dishes are okay. The set up is confused I’m not sure if they are trying to be Ironic, lazy, or just poor choices? Inside it’s haunted with the ghosts of bad pizza past, It’s dusty and dark and the walls are painted with silly murals. I lived walking distance from this place and drove to where I could get good pizza, don’t go.
