Astoria Pizza Factory

Launched in 2014 by owner Filippo Rappa, this neighborhood spot carries on a three-generation family legacy. The kitchen focuses on a thin crust that hits the balance between crispy and chewy, topped with a bright, sweet tomato sauce. They are notably accommodating with their vegan pies—staff will gladly show you the ingredient list for the dairy-free cheese—and the menu extends to upside-down slices, buffalo garlic knots, and shrimp alla Filippo. Tucked inside a shopping center, it comes with the rare Queens perk of dedicated parking, matching quick, friendly service with a clean, straightforward dining room.
