This was our first time dining here. By far one of the best pizzas we’ve ever had. The service was excellent. We were sat down quickly. Even though we did wait before getting our orders quite some time. But there was really little staff. The server was attentive though. Once our order was placed , the food was brought out rather quickly. We had a pepperoni pizza, a cheese pizza and some Fried calamari. All cooked to perfection! Delicious flavor. Although the menu says they’re individual pizzas, they are shareable! We were 5 and shared 2 pizzas. I will definitely be back!!!

Came here for brunch. The atmosphere is very nice. The food was delicious. Service could have been better. We were not given water for the table and our server didn’t come to the table other than to drop off the check at the end. Make sure to mention the parking validation before you pay so they can deduct it from your bill!

Very nice restaurant, well lit with amazing decor. Bar area is spacious and seating areas compliment everything with inside and outside sections. I ordered the “ Lemonade Stand “ and I was immediately impressed watching my bartender prepare this drink. I ordered slices of pizza from the lunch menu, square pepperoni and classic NY cheese, both were very good and satisfied me completely. Visited during my lunch break, but I will definitely return when I don’t have to worry about being in a rush.

Customer service it’s top tier, and the food it’s amazing, I can’t even explain the joy I felt after a long day and just coming to this restaurant made me feel like I was at home. I’m definitely coming back to this place and not just because of the food.

Made my own assessment of this place let’s just say you won’t be disappointed. Classic cheese pizza with white sangria. Happy hour at the bar only!

Been coming here for five years now. Every time we have a had a great experience. We get seated where we want and service has been perfect. From pizza to our son’s favorite kids pizza. Even the fried Zucchini which get every time has always been the same. Even the pizza. Wine selection is perfect for ridge hill. Worth the stop and mid afternoon is perfect for popping in and out.

We found this wonderful privately owned pizza place last year while visiting family in NY. My wife and I dined in at the bar on a busy Saturday and enjoyed some calamari, a Caesar salad and a pizza. The pizza was so good, we came back again while in town for a family event. Graziella was there to greet us as we walked in and set us up at the bar for some lunch. We remembered how great the food was - which is why we came back, but the service we received from Graziella was even better than we remembered. She gave great recommendations, she was attentive and anticipated our needs, and once again our meal was on point! If you’re looking for a great pizza place in Yonkers, definitely check this place out! We will be back to enjoy a lunch or dinner her again and can’t speak highly enough about the service we received from Graziella. Thanks Public Pizza - til next time!!

I get lunch from here all the time! Their food is always so beautifully presented and is filling and has good portions. Their salads are definitely worth the money. They have decent vegetarian options and give you wet wipes when you order take out! So sweet of them. The servers are also nice.
