7.6/10

AI-generated summary

Get the . The crust goes cracker thin and crisp, and the pesto swirl is what people single out. The and the both get pushed hard too. If you want chewy New York dough this is not it, and some regulars think it has slipped, calling recent pies reheated or lukewarm. The pizzas are huge, so order fewer than you think.

  • Regarding the pizza, it was great. I ordered half Supreme for my friend (some arugula + balsamic vinaigrette) and half Tie-Dye for me. I can see why people always order it.

  • They understand what I want in the sauce. The pasta is lumache pasta, those little curved elbow dudes. I appreciate the freshness of the pasta but wanted 20% more serving size and the sauce to pasta ratio to be higher as well.

  • replying to u/Hopeful-Mirror1664: Hands down go to Rubirosa. Book in advance on Resy as it’s hard to get into. It’s right on Mulberry St near where you will be. You won’t be disappointed. I practically live in this place. The pizza and pasta is probably the best in the area.

    Have not found a better pizza then the Rubirosa Supreme- anywhere.

  • replying to u/zanzil21: I know I’m in the minority here, because I always see Rubirosa get recommended, but I don’t understand the hype at all - genuine confusion! I’m not very critical and I don’t normally go against the grain - if a place is popular, I usually like it. But Rubirosa fell flat for me three times (went once by my own choice, and two more times at the request of co-workers/friends). It may sound dramatic, but I was actually embarrassed for bringing my visiting guests there :( The service was always good and friendly, the vibe is cool, the setting is very basic for the area, but the food was just blah. Maybe I just got very unlucky three times?

    The pasta was devoid of salt. We got a cacio e pepe and it was just greasy pepper pasta.

    Their pizza is like paper thin, so thin that it’s essentially a cracker; no chew to the dough what so ever. It was a fun novelty, but I wouldn’t go back there again.

  • My carbonara was very good, but my gfs penne vodka was just meh. And the pizza was way worse than I expected. Came out lukewarm, I know it’s a thin crust but it just wasn’t working for me.

  • Incredible pie with super thin crust that I assume is so much better fresh than delivered. Great vibe inside too. 10/10
