About

Mono's Pizzeria is a relatively new addition to the Queens pizza scene but has quickly risen to prominence, being ranked among the best slices in New York City. Known for its five-day dough fermentation process and inventive toppings, Mono's blends old-school charm with new-school techniques, creating a unique experience that stands out in a city full of legendary pizzerias.

The Visit

Mono's Pizzeria delivers a standout experience with its unassuming exterior and intoxicating aroma that greets you at the door. The reviewer and co-host Greg highlight the meticulous attention to detail, especially in the dough, which undergoes a five-day fermentation process. The Manapella slice, featuring chicken cutlet, pesto, and abaca sauce, impresses with its sandwich-like complexity and perfect char. Both reviewers agree on a high score, praising the crust and overall execution.

Our Reflection

Mono's Pizzeria stands as a testament to how innovation and tradition can harmonize in a single slice. The five-day fermented dough is more than a technical feat—it's the backbone of a pizza that feels both familiar and entirely new. The Manapella slice, with its layers of chicken cutlet, pesto, and abaca sauce, delivers a sandwich-like depth that demands more than a single bite to appreciate. The reviewers' enthusiasm, especially for the crust, speaks volumes about the care and craft behind each pie. Mono's has earned its place among New York's pizza elite, not just for its flavors, but for the experience it offers—one that lingers long after the last bite.
