Nonna's Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen 7.5
Greenpoint
Vibes: Cheap Eats Budget Brilliance Comfort Food Classics Family Friendly Favorites Quick Bites Champions
Nonna's Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen is a neighborhood corner spot that leans heavily on delivery and catering, serving meat lasagna, baked ziti, and parm platters alongside pies. Its lasagna earns steady, if mixed, feedback, but volume from platforms like Seamless, Grubhub, and catering orders confirms it as a reliable everyday option.
Must-Try Dishes: Meat Lasagna, Vodka Classico Pasta, Eggplant Parmigiana

What makes it special: A delivery-forward pizzeria where meat lasagna and other baked pastas show up both as single orders and as part of popular catering spreads.
Who should go: Locals wanting affordable, delivery-friendly lasagna and pasta trays.
When to visit: Busy dinner delivery window or weekend afternoons for fresh pans.
What to order: Meat Lasagna, Vodka Classico Pasta, eggplant parm.
Insider tip: Use the pasta buffet or hot entree packages if you need lasagna to feed a crowd without leaving the neighborhood.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking; easier on residential side streets before peak dinner hours.
Dress code: Casual and come-as-you-are; delivery drivers and families fit right in.
Noise level: Low to moderate; easy to hold a conversation or place a phone pickup order.
Weekend wait: Minimal wait for counter ordering; delivery may run 10–20 minutes longer than quoted times.
Weekday lunch: No wait typically for pickup or dine-in; delivery is near on-time.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: A few options, including cheese lasagna, baked ziti, and cheese/veggie pizzas.
Vegan options: Very limited; salads and veggie sides can be adapted, but no dedicated vegan lasagna.
Gluten-free options: No true gluten-free lasagna; salads and certain pizza toppings without crust offer partial workarounds.
Best For
Better for: Large family-style trays, low prices, and dependable delivery speed compared to sit-down trattorias in the area.
Skip if: You want chef-driven lasagna, artisanal pasta, or a design-forward dining room—nearby trattoria-style spots will serve that experience better.
