Maneros of Mulberry

Great pizza and pasta spot in Little Italy. The classic slice is the favorite - thin crust and great tomato sauce. The service is also very good whether you dine in or out. I also enjoyed their meat lasagne dish. Great portions (as pictured). There is covered, outdoor cafe style seating for the casual / quick bite. Or a full dine in with table service (booths and standard table seating) - just note the time on the weekends - that inside dining doesn't open until 2PM.

Another gem in the heart of Little Italy. It’s sometimes hard to find good restaurant’s on the main strip, but this one is quality food. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. The vibes are also very Italian! Definitely a good date spot or family friendly option. Menu is extensive with classic Italian options but there is no pasta. I will be back for sure!

We went for lunch and sat outside, had a drink from the Manero’s Restaurant itself while ordering slices from the Manero’s pizza side. Everything was great, we really enjoyed the outdoor street-side space where our dog was able to join us. There were also ceiling fans mounted on the roof to make it much cooler during the hot NYC summer day when we were there. Sorry, no photos of the pizza, just the drinks. We were so hungry and it was so good, we ate it all before thinking of taking any pics!! Stop by, you won’t regret it.

I read the reviews about this place having the best pizza in Little Italy and was so excited to give it a try! Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time and money. This is just a tourist trap! What kind of Italian pizza place does not offer prosciutto or any kind of ham as one of the topics??!! I asked if they could add olives to my order and ended up getting sliced black olives from a can. What a disappointment. They have no idea what real Italian pizza is. Terrible!

Manero’s Pizza is a pizzeria on Mulberry Street in Little Italy. the small slice shop has a retro 70s / 80s NYC vibe. really clean—nice variety of pizza condiments from the usual suspects to ones like hot honey. the interior is tiny (no seats inside) but there is a medium-sized outdoor shed for some al fresco pizza dining — good amount of tables + chairs. the slice shop sits next door to Manero’s, a full-service sit-down restaurant. if you’re looking for a casual slice and soda in Little Italy, then Manero’s Pizza has you covered. Manero’s Pizza: No cash accepted. only debit/credit or Apple Pay. the first time i went to Manero’s Pizza— i got a plain slice—it was EXCELLENT. why? perfect blend of a Neapolitan pizza and classic New York style pizza. the outer crust is puffy airy yet has a nice chew—yet the pizza crust is also sturdy like a classic NYC life. the sauce is neither sweet nor salty—very balanced. the cheese is NYC-style blanketing the sauce and crust. the slice was served hot as all pizza should be. the second time, i came to Manero’s—the pizza was just good (not excellent). why? because the pizza was not warmed up adequately. again, serve pizza hot not warm. got a plain slice again plus a Margherita slice. both were good and satisfying. i should have sent both slice back and had them heated hot as that was the missing “wow” factor the second time i was here. so if you come here, make sure your pizza gets heated to “hot” —send it back if it is not. plain slice, $3 + tax + tip. Margherita slice, $3 + tax -+ tip. staff just makes and serves pizza. not much convo etc. whether busy or not.

We dined at Manero's and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting & the decor was traditional Italian and cozy. The Margarita pizza we ordered was delicious and cooked to perfection. The crust was crispy and the tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese were flavorful. Also, our waiter, Charley, was extremely attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. After we finished our meal and left the restaurant, Charley saved the day and found us outside the restaurant and brought us a credit card that we left behind on one of the tables. Great Place, Prices are very very reasonable, generous portions and nice ambiance - we highly recommend checking this place out!

At $3 a slice for the plain cheese or Margherita in 2023, it's at that awkward price where one can't exactly complain even if it's lackluster in taste. Size is certainly bigger than the 99 cent (now usually 1.50) joints, and appearance-wise they certainly look appetizing, but for some unfathomable reason the sauce is lacking... visually it's definitely appealing, but for some reason when a bite is taken, the brain doesn't register much flavor. Quite odd actually because the visual and olfactory cues are all present. Will have to go back another day to give it another try, but for what it is, it's a cheap and quick bite- plus they really are the only joint in little Italy that does slices.

Please get the baked ziti and whipped ricotta. Pizza is also good. Loved the sauce but prefer other things on their menu.
