Reviews Summary
Margherita Pizza Co is highly praised for its authentic wood-fired pizzas with thin, crisp crusts and quality ingredients, making it a standout in the area. Diners also rave about unique appetizers like the chicken meatballs and the vibrant atmosphere. However, some find the pricing a bit high for the pizza size, and occasional issues with ingredient visibility on certain pizzas or service inconsistencies have been noted.
"We came here on date night and it was a great experience. We sat at the bar with a clear view of the wood oven to watch the cooks. My husband ordered an Italian beer and I ordered a sangria. We enjoyed our drinks! One of the best sangrias I have had, included cut up strawberries and grapefruit.
For an appetizer, we ordered Diane’s Chicken Meatballs, it was melt in your mouth delicious! The sauce and cheese were a great addition to the juicy meatballs. We also ordered a Caesar Salad, it was so large, could feed 3 people. It was a good quality cheese and croutons. It did not too much dressing.
We both ordered personal pizzas, queen margarita and NY cheese with mushrooms added. This is the best pizza I have had in this area by far! It’s thin crust, wood oven cooked to perfection.
For dessert, we split the cheesecake with Caramel drizzle on top with whipped cream. It was so good and melt in your mouth!
Our waitress was friendly and took our order and checked on us at the right time. She was pleasant with each request we had, extra side of sauce, extra plates, and a box to go with leftovers. She was smiling and professional.
I would highly recommend! Great atmosphere, great food, great service!"

"We had takeout from Margherita Pizza. Our first time. We weren't able to place an order by phone so had to drive to the location. Our order was Lorenzo's famous garlic bread, San Gennaro pizza, plain cheese pizza (NY Style), Pure Leaf sweet tea and cannoli. While waiting, I realized it was a good thing we showed up to place the order. The restaurant was so noisy that the server wouldn't have been able to hear me. The garlic bread was good. The plain cheese pizza could be a little lower in price since it had no toppings. The San Gennaro didn't have any onions or peppers. I could taste the sausages but didn't see any. Don't get me wrong. It was spicy and had flavor, but lacking in ingredients. Overall, the order was tasty but overpriced. Since they have a website, they could set up an online ordering system. I do not recommend placing any order by phone."
