Deninos Pizzeria & Tavern

Great Saturday night pizza

Haven’t had in a while. Held up even in the box.

I’ve had Denino’s pizza before at their Manahawkin location and absolutely loved it. I’m looking at some pre-pandemic pics & scores from this original Denino’s and I feel like my pie just isn’t on par with the quality consistency from the pies of the past. I’ll start by saying the dough & crust are tremendously crispy and flavorful, the perfect base for the cheese & sauce to rest upon. However, if you look at my pie, you can hardly see any sauce. This was an incredibly dry pizza, and not nearly as tasty as a white pie. The cheese also came across as pretty generic, the only flavor I could pick up on was a little bit of oregano. I know Denino’s can make a better pie than this. Did I just catch them on an off day? Did the pandemic mess with deliveries? Were they running out of sauce and had to spread it thin? Is this the generic frozen pie they send out to all their chains now? Whatever the reason, this felt like generic pizza and I know they’re historically way above a standard pie. I expected a high 8 but had to grade fairly with a low-to-mid 7. Maybe I’ll try again and re-score down the road some day.

Good neighborhood spot

Best pizza in Staten Island, nothing to complain about. Old school tavern style restaurant.

Thin, crispy and not enough sauce for me. I will say I didn't eat it there. Could be a higher score but this is what I'm working with.

Good crispy slice, sauce and cheese are delicious staten island has some really good pizza

Zero Flop, perfect Crunch. Sauce-Cheese ratio is harmonious. Consistently the best. Orig Ralph’s iced across the street is a bonus

Excellent pizza !!!!! Overall Great sauce Crisp thin crust

A good slice but not spectacular. The crust was crisp and tasty and the sauce had a nice tang to it. The cheese was average and the slice was thin and easy to eat. A good bar pizza.

The M.O.R slice at Deninos might be the best slice I’ve ever had!

Good sauce, no flop, my favorite type of crust

Nothing spectacular. Not a fan of their sauce at all. The white was not what I expected, pretty gross honestly. The margarita was just OK.

Crazy huge crunch! So good

Oh yea

Meatball, Onion, and Ricotta Pie.

Best pizza ever! My gold standard

Fresh out of the oven, very crispy and The bottom was slightly burnt. The dough was not thin crust, but not at all like a boardwalk slice. It was a bit oily, which I like, however, it could have used some more cheese, and A decent amount of pepperoni. The crust was hard and the more I ate, the more crunchy it became.

It was okay. I have had Deninos before and I remembered it being much better.
