Mangia Bene

Best pizza salads and paninis in the town of great neck I can not stop coming back for this place service is good and the place is clean and fresh

Dreadful. Just ate there for the first time in quite a while, and it will definitely be the last. Poor service, spoiled food and, when approached about it, a nasty owner. It’s a shame, because the neighborhood needs a casual place like this at the north end of town. But this isn’t it.

Came in for a slice and soda. Pizza was good and coiunterman friendly. But then wanted to eat and the dining room was packed and nobody had bothered to bus the tables. So we put a few trays on a dirty table and ate. During the entire 30 minutes, nobody bothered to come, Dining room is much smaller than old place and it was packed. There is a «help wanted» sign up, so Mangia Bene clearly needs some more wait staff and cleaners, Also, side of restaurant is filled with litter and trash, on the north. Makes a bad impression.
The old place often had litter, too. They need to work on this!

I have just arrived at Mangia Bene’s new location! I find it to be the bittersweet end of an era, where we must fully realize that Great Neck’s beloved Scotto’s is really gone (the pizza place that existed before Mangia Bene took its place), and has been for well over a decade.
The new location is nicely done and has ample seating. It’s a pleasant location situated right near Saint Aloysius Roman Catholic. The same employees work there and the same great tasting pizza can be had.
I regularly buy white pizza pies at Mangia Bene for my co-​workers and I prefer their spinach and eggplant specialty slices.
Beverages are even more limited than before, though! They have one tiny refrigerator with only soda and no seltzer. I was disappointed.
In addition, I had to remind the gentleman to please tape my pizza box shut. And he used a small piece of tape that didn’t even hold properly.
Little problems.
Overall, it’s a great pizza place, but I prefer Rosa’s in Huntington.
