Ungaro Coal Fired Pizza Cafe

Just had Ungaro's tonight for the 3rd time with my kids and it was just as great as ever. Kids are tough critics for pizza, but they loved it. They just have to work on the pronunciation of the name. I love driving back into the neighborhood I grew up in to support local family businesses as my family was in I know all to well how challenging it can be especially with regards to location. This place never disappoints. It's comfortable and quaint, always well lit with some classic Italian tunes on and the food knocks it out of the park. We enjoyed a classic cheese pie and mozzarella sticks, a must for my kids, and I got for the third time this fig and cheese app on crostini bread with a honey and glaze drizzle. Ming ! My only complaint is a kitchen staff member was taking a break while I was eating with my family and total disregard blasting some telemundo crap from two tables away at full volume. I was about more than halfway done but it totally messed up the vibe. Dinner with the kids, drizzling outside, they had a long day were talking about the neighborhood and Boom just a total left field hit of some random telemundo or something. And he had the phone propped up on a bottle of iced tea so I said to myself " well this experience has just ended ". I asked the waitress who was lovely if that man worked there she said yes so I asked her to take care of it and she did. If it was a regular patron I would have been polite and asked them to cut it. Now listen, I get it. The guy is taking a break and it's a small place. I just hate when workers do things they wouldn't do if the owners were there. The guy even turned the phone back on but lower about 15 minutes later, I could hear it dude !! That's rude! Bring some headphones to work. Business is hard enough without ownership having to worry about a rogue dishwasher not giving a rats ass about their business and what they are trying to build. Anyone ever experiencing this, say something right away. Can't wait to be back in the neighborhood and try some new things.

Ok so starting off with what we came in for, THE FOOD. . .Amazing. Simply delicious. Staten Island has great Italian spots but this is now one of my favorites. The BRICK OVER PIZZA. We ordered 2 pies, a small vodka and the upside down pie. Cooked to perfection, crispy and doughy at the same time. The sauce was so tasty. kisses to the chef.
The owner and the employees -such nice, welcoming people. Thank you for your service!
The atmosphere- so cozy, so warm, so cute!
You have us as re occurring customers! We will be back!

One of my favorite all around restaurants particularly since it is walking distance from my apartment. Dominic and Kim always have this place running top notch at all times and the atmosphere is always jovial. This place must be checked out!

Great establishment! Greta staff, fantastic food! They don't miss! The pizza is great, wings are great and Nutella pizza is a favorite. Dine-in it's not same when the food travels

Great pizza in a casual atmosphere. Service is good and the dining room is comfortable. I had a coal fired half vodka half traditional pie and a glass of wine. The pizza is thin crust but still a substantial slice.

Delicious luncheon at Ungaro! Roast beef and mozzarella topped with brown gravy, grilled chicken panini with pesto and sun dried tomatoes finally, a panel Le!! Glorious lunch!! Beautiful venu, magnificent service, thank you to Kim and Don for a delicious afternoon topped with tiramisu- perfection !

Don't walk, run... to try this pizzeria --- it's honestly what we needed on the north shore of Staten Island. While we are overloaded with pizza places every corner, this coal fired, ultra tasty, crispy pizza is a breath of fresh air and stands out. Secondly, the panelle, one of the best panelle sandwiches I've had in my life. Everything I ordered was so delicious and I saw on instagram they're serving beer and wine in house so I can't wait to dine in!

Amazing pizza, always arrives warm and delicious. Also, get the flat bread, huge portion and great marinara sauce.

What a great place to get some of the best pizza around. Pizza is done to perfection very crispy and it's an upscale slice as they must be using all of the best ingredients . Not greasy at all and a great ratio of cheese & sauce . Both the round & square pies were perfectly made . Tried 2 different style of wings and both hit the spot . The wings with the long hots are a must to try . Not a pizzeria for slices it's more of a very cozy restaurant with upscale pies .

Chose this restaurant to celebrate an early Galentines day with my friends and we had a fantastic time!

The restaurant itself is small and intimate, has a nice rustic feel to it with the brick ovens. We really enjoyed dining here, and the cucumber infused water was a major bonus :)

We came specifically for the sampler pie or better known as the "Four Corners" pie, which is a 16 slice pie with marinara, pesto, ricotta and vodka. This is a MUST get!!! Oh my goodness so good, hard to pick which one was the best because they were all incredible, and for $25 you can't beat it. The mozzarella carozza was also a great appetizer choice!

Overall 10/10 experience, and the staff were all so friendly! Will definitely be back :) Love Ungaro!
