Elegante Pizzeria
4.5 (392)restaurant
An old-school Bay Ridge favorite known for fresh, made-to-order pies and classic rolls with a signature crispy crust.
Description


Beyond the standard pies, the kitchen turns out hot hero sandwiches, calzones, and garlic knots, preparing everything to your liking on the spot rather than letting food sit. The pizzas—ranging from Sicilian to specialty options—strike a balance of being fluffy yet crispy on the bottom. While some locals consider it a landmark, others view it as a convenient grab-and-go option, noting that the food can skew slightly salty and street parking is tough.
