Lexington Pizza Parlour

WOW! Get to this restaurant immediately. We had a late lunch on a Friday after a couple of museums in the area. Covered sidewalk tables were available to make it more special. The service was impeccable and so friendly and helpful for tourists. The food - top meal in Manhattan. I ordered the watermelon and burrata salad and it was seriously one of the most amazing meals I’ve had. My companion ordered a meatball calzone and was more than delighted. He has a heartily appetite and couldn’t quite finish it - definitely something to share. I cannot say enough good things about this place and cannot wait to go back on my next trip.

We love the food so much we decided to have our wedding reception here. They were amazing, kind, and wonderful. The food was great. All our guests were raving about how delicious and well prepared the meal was. Despite having a 20+ guests, they were able to bring out all our food hot and in a timely manner. No one went unsatisfied. We also had an incredible amount of dietary restrictions for individuals and they were able to accommodate us all.

This is a sophisticated pizza restaurant with a great range of food and drink options. It was a lovely place to have dinner as the sun set, and there were really cute fairy lights all around the outside area, making it an even more magical experience. Everyone at my table very much enjoyed their meal, and we hope to come back here at some point.

Happy hour sign out the front is intentionally misleading - anyone reading it would think draft beer is $5, in reality it’s $7. Don’t do this, it annoys people. If the sign had said $7 we still would have come in and left happy. Is it worth it to cheat your customers?

*FOOD POISIONING* I had a craving for a delicious Sicilian slice of white pizza, but unfortunately, the service was terrible. Even after trying the white pizza for a second time, I ended up getting food poisoning from it AGAIN. The pizza was barely in the oven for a few seconds before being hastily thrown into a brown bag and handed to me. To make matters worse, the cashier, a young Hispanic man who did not wear gloves, handled my food and took my money WITH THE SAME BARE HANDS. The person who handled my pizza, an older Hispanic man who also did not wear gloves, was equally unprofessional. Both of them treated me (a Hispanic female) with disrespect and hostility for no reason, giving me attitude whenever I asked a simple question. This is unacceptable and something everyone should be cautious about when coming here. The restaurant is average, resembling a small pizzeria attempting fine dining. It's located in Spanish Harlem and has a questionable reputation with the Hispanic community.
