La Rondine Pizza & Restaurant

I am so picky with pizza but I must say they have a damn good slice! Try the chicken bacon ranch– you won’t be disappointed. Service was fast and prices are good. Got crowded quick (went during lunch while serving jury duty). Not a five star establishment but four stars for the really good pizza (in my opinion).

Flavorless, dry over cook pasta w lemon chicken I think. For $ 15 bucks this place give pizzeria a bad name.

Worst Delivery Ever. Love the food, but every time I order delivery it takes over an hour and I live less than 10 mins away. It’s also on the expensive side compared to comparable Italian places around

I have lived in kew gardens since 2014 and ordered from all the pizza places in the area and this is the BEST pizza and wings place out there.
This is my first review I’ve ever written because It would be a disservice to not give this place the credit they deserve.
Thank you for the amazing pizza and the wings! The pizza sauce is perfect and the wing sauce on medium is a perfect combination of not too sweet and not too spicey.

The most disgusting business practices and service I have ever endured in ordering food…
We placed an order on our debit card…
1 hour later we inquired about our order which had never arrived and they told us our card was declined. While we were on the phone we checked our balance and the charge had went through and cleared. They had mis-​charged our card then tried to recharge a higher amount (which they admitted to). We didn’t have enough to cover both charges. They argued with us for an additional 20 minutes that they voided the charge which they didn’t. Hung up on us 2 times and now our card is –43.00 and no food an hour and a half later.
I have worked in the food industry for 15 years and now work with the better business bureau. I fully intend on opening an investigation on this establishment for unfair business practices and personally if a full refund isn’t posted, opening a theft investigation.
You are supposed to treat your customers with respect, not be rude, argue, always be willing to hear them out and otherwise. It’s called «hospitality», not «business screws customer».
And this being the second time we ordered there, the pizza is good but ALL OTHER FOOD IS BARELY EDIBLE, cold and not fresh.

Pizza is just pizza– no flavor to the cheese pizza we purchased and the buffalo wings were gross. Second time here and my last.

Great mom and pop pizza shop! I LOVE their wings. They are crispy, well done, and the sauce they use on them is fantastic. The pizza is also very good! As for the entrees, I usually only order one dish, which is called Chicken la Rondine, and I enjoyed it quite a lot. Lot the creamy sauce they add on the chicken breast. The customer service is superb and it is quite evident that they care about the business of their customers. Prices are reasonable for what you’re getting. Pretty much the best pizza you will find in the Kew Gardens area.

Amazing neighborhood pizza!!!

Five stars for the pizza, 1 star for the pasta and entrees. Start with the good: best slice in Kew gardens and briarwood. The service is great. The guys actually seem to want your business. Most places make you feel like your a bother to them, but not here. The restaurant is always clean, and there is a decent lunch special. Oh, and the pizza is soooo good. A real «ny» slice.
Only bad is the entrees. I’ve had the chicken parm and the lasagna and both were pretty terrible. The heroes are great, but I’m done trying the entrees as I don’t want to risk another terrible tasting order.
All in all, I love this place. If you’re looking for a quick slice and dont feel like going to Jamaica ave, this is your place.

twas delicious– the crust was thin but a little crunch– cheese was A+ and the sauce was delish

Great place to grab a decent slice. Pizza is better than most in the area & it’s open late.

Great place for late-​night munchies. Got a Chicken Parm Sub, it was great. VERY filling.

Awesome pizza!!! Always perfect and always on time. :) the owner is so friendly and warm. He is always smiling. But getting back to the pizza I would say best in Kew gardens and forest hills by far!

Best pizza in Kew gardens, opened till three am for those of u late nite snackers. The staff is friendly family run, the place is very clean the meatball parmigiana is great. Also they use good cheese not the chewy third grade kind

Talk about a great slice of pizza… staff is really sweet and attentive… perfect spot for a quick slice that hits the spot

This is an update to my rave review from 3 years ago. Do not order from this place. Over the years it’s gotten worse and worse. The delivery guy hasn’t gotten fired yet only God knows why and their last delivery is now like 10pm. If you call anytime after 10, they seem annoyed and almost like they don’t want your business. They take forever to deliver and again, the infamous delivery guy is always cranky, sweaty, and too tired to deal. He practically throws the food at you. The food is still good, I was a huge fan of their entrees but now order maybe about 2 times a year. I’m almost scared to call for delivery anymore that’s how bad it’s gotten. Honestly, there are better options in the neighborhood. Try Dani’s on Leffrets. They don’t deliver but are always nice and food is always on point.

A good slice! Nice interior and murals on the wall. I really like their Sicilian. Their regular lacked a crisp crust and in turn was a tad soggy, but still good. They didn’t seam to have a grandma or margarita. But they do have a whole wheat which was pretty good.

In terms of décor and service, these guys are the mirror-​image of Danni’s Pizza on Lefferts — I love Danni’s, but anybody who has gotten a slice there will surely admit that hospitality isn’t exactly their strong suite. You go for the pizza.
Now, take La Rondine on the other hand. You walk in and the main guy behind the counter — sorry, his name escapes me, except that he resembles a younger Eric Roberts (the actor) — greets you with a warm smile and inquires: «what would you like, my friend?»
Which of course makes it a real pleasure to dine there in person. Genuine hospitality. Good people.
While not exactly «fancy», the tables have been clean each time I’ve visited, and as Unilocaler Robert G. noted, they do have a beautiful mural on the wall that lends some aesthetic enjoyment to your dining experience.
The food is decent. It’s not out-​of-​this-​world amazing, but the pizza is actually really good with thick, chewy and slightly charred crust — especially if you get it in-​house. And I’ve ordered their Buffalo wings and salads well past 12am and they’ve always delivered them fresh.
Plus, they’re open well past midnight.

It was tough to find a decent lunch spot after spending the morning in Jury Duty. This place was just across the street next to McDonald’s and had a decent amount of seating. The have a lunch special of $ 3 for one plain slice and soda. But instead I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza. They made it fresh and the pepperoni slices were crispy and pipping hot. They don’t serve pizza that appears to be sitting on display for hours. The pizza is actually good!
Credit card only for over $ 10 purchases.

Great slices, fresh salad. What more do you want from a local pizzeria in NYC? This place is a staple in Kew Gardens and it’s worth a visit
