Queens Pizza Comparison: Snappy Crust Meets Scratch-Made Dough

Begin at Leonardo's Pizza on 49th Street in Sunnyside. Classic NYC slices and square Sicilian pies give you two formats to consider before committing to a larger order. Focus on the crunchy bottom and chewy bite rather than counting toppings. The dining room has booths if you want to sit while you compare notes. Its daily noon opening gives this first stop a clear starting point. Keep your order modest if you plan to continue to Astoria.

Continue to ASAP Pizza Spot on 28th Avenue in Astoria, using the map to plan the transfer from Sunnyside. Here the comparison shifts to scratch made dough and the Nonna slice with its rich, balanced sauce. A margarita slice adds fresh basil and a special sauce, while garlic knots and pizza rolls offer another direction. Choose a slice that lets you focus on the dough rather than adding a second full meal. Both counters open at noon, leaving an afternoon window for the pairing.

Start with a small order in Sunnyside, then make the Astoria counter your second texture check. Both pizzerias open at noon every day, and their hours overlap through the early evening. Let the map determine your transfer rather than assuming the two addresses are adjacent. Keep one comparison across two stops as the goal, with room to pause between orders. At the second counter, compare your notes on crust and sauce before choosing another slice or ending the outing.
