"I had the regular pie with sausage and it was excellent. New spot for lunch with my wife, we'll work our way through the menu in the future... Nice place, nice people. Update: Just had the Veggie Lovers pie and it was amazing!!! Very tasty, and the crust held up nicely to the veggies. Found a new local pizza place"

"'FRESHER IS ALWAYS BETTER! Prince Umberto Pizzeria Restaurant 721 Franklin Ave, Franklin Square, NY 11010 Today 10/26/2023, I took my Honey for lunch for the first time to Prince Umberto 's in Franklin Square, NY. We both love good home made Italian food. I read some nice reviews, checked out their menu online and saw items we both like to eat, so to not far away Franklin Square we went! It was about 2;30 pm when we got there, the pizzeria side was busy but the dinning area side was wasn 't busy at all, and that 's exactly where we wanted to go. Our waiter and server Johnathan greeted us and sat us at a nice comfortable table. I ordered something for my Honey and I to drink, nothing with alcohol, while we looked over the menu. I told Johnathan we were going to first try a few appetizers, and after that, if we were still hungry we would order something else. I asked Johnathan, please, DO NOT bring us all the food at once, as so many other restaurants seem to want to do! All that food at once just overwhelms you, plus sitting there, the food just gets cold before you get to eat it. Johnathan said, not a problem, tell me what to bring you, and I will bring it when you tell me, YES! We started off first with Littleneck Clams on the half shell, then we had whole backed clams that were just made, nice and piping hot, and so, so, delicious. Next we enjoyed a nice size pot of mussels cooked with white wine and garlic, Johnathan brought us their just baked HOT pizza dough bread with butter on the side, it was excellent especially when we were dunking the bread into the mussel juice! After that my Honey and I had to try their Trippa Napoletana, we both love tripe! This tripe with the sauce made at Prince Umbertos was so good, my Honey had to take some home! It had no potatoes, no peas, just tender cooked tripe in a delicious mild sauce, which I was also enjoying on the hot pizza dough bread too. Just delicious. Wow! While were eating, the owner, and the chef came over to us a couple of times to ask if everything was okay and to our liking, and if we needed anything else, which was very nice of them to do. We now were both pretty full, but I had to check out their dessert menu first, before we left. I spotted their Italian ice cream Tartufo, and my Honey spotted the Tiramisu. We suddenly found a little space to tackle dessert, OMG! They both were so yummy! Now as far as prices go in this day and age of high prices, this restaurant has very, very, fair prices for quality fresh food! And I might add, this is one of the very few restaurants that is not charging any extra fee for using your credit card, I hope they can continue doing that, we shall see? We shall return for sure. Their food was so good, and freshly cooked to order, just as if we were home, it was a delight to go to Prince Umberto 's in Franklin Square today! Johnathan did an excellent job taking good care of us. And if I am going write an honest review, which I am, I have one wish, we both love clams on the half shell, ice cold. The clams on the half shell we had today were really fresh, but they were room temperature and not cold at all? I wish they can serve them ice cold, the next time we come. All in all, Prince Umberto 's still gets 5 stars! One tip for all, go for lunch or early dinner, You will have plenty of space in their dining room!"

"I used to come here often but they are too expensive now. Came here on 5/25 for table service and ordered a beef noodle soup. The waitress was an Indian lady instead of the normal Asian lady owner. The Indian lady printed me a receipt with a surprise mandatory 20% !!! tip on it. The tip was not optional. Normally, I will give about 15% tip with cash and 18% tip with credit card but maybe more depending on how I feel. I paid cash thinking I would get a discount but she said it was same price credit and cash. 20% tip is outrageous. Why would I pay cash if there is no discount? There is no benefit. With a credit card, I get the convenience of not needing to carry cash and I get points. In total, $18.18 for a single beef noodle soup all in including the mandatory 20% tip. Probably won't eat table service here again. They should have been upfront about the mandatory 20% tip. I think they are legally supposed to tell customers if they charge a mandatory tip. If there are hidden fees in the takeout, then I would rather just get takeout from a regular cash only Chinese takeout place. Didn't feel like arguing because the owner wasn't there.The quality of the food here is better than a regular Chinese takeout place. It has a more authentic taste and menu."

"This has always been one of our go to places. However, the last recent visit left us disappointed. The service is always excellent. However, the food was not up to par.. We both ordered veal parmesan, which we 've had in the past and enjoyed; this time was not one of those cases. Portions of the meat were hard and contained grizzle. We were both halfway through the meat when we realized it and did not feel comfortable returning the food. Oh well, I guess every once in a while there 's a hiccup; disappointed that it was at our expense."

"awesome! I have organized a party at the weekend in one of the party rooms. from the time I left the payment until the time of the party, the personal was wonderful. always available and accommodating. I was allowed to come early in the day of the event to decorate and the staff even helped. the food, the drinks and the waiters were amazing. we couldn't fit all balloons in the car, so they kept the balloons graciously and we picked them up the next day. I love this place. I hope that I will host other events and will definitely be regularly in the restaurant."
