Pizza places in the United States run from a counter with two stools and a stack of boxes to a full sit-down pizzeria with a bar, and most neighborhood shops do all three things at once: dine-in, takeout and delivery. Ordering by phone is still common and often faster than an app, and many independents charge less when you call direct because there is no platform fee. Sizes are usually listed in inches (a small around 10", a large 14", an extra-large 16" or more), and a large feeds two to three adults. Slices are sold from a display case at New York-style counters and reheated to order; whole pies take 15-25 minutes at a busy shop. Most spots take cards and mobile pay, though a few older pizzerias remain cash-only, so check the door or the listing before you order.

Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New York's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Came on Friday evening around 5:30 to grab happy hour (4-6pm weekdays) and dinner. It was very quiet so we had any choice of table options so we grabbed the first seat outdoors. Our happy hour wine ($10) came with a small aperitivo (nuts or olives). The wine was your standard inexpensive hh option of red or white (tried both) and they were okβnothing mind blowing. My husband and I shared a pizza for dinner which is always great at Levante. We ended up with 2 pieces left over. We asked for some foil to wrap it to go, but they apparently only had boxes. We carried a pizza box of 2 small slices on the subway back to flushing. It was worth it. Recommend this place for great quality Neapolitan style (brick oven) pizza and a nice quiet spot to catch up with the friends over happy hour. Only downside was service got pretty slow around 6:30/7 when more patrons came in. (Took ~20 minutes between asking for our bill and signing it.)

Went to Levante in Long Island Cityβoverall a mixed experience. The calamari was underwhelming, lacking flavor, and the aioli that came with it was thin and didnβt really add much. On the other hand, the pizza had a great crust and the wood-fired oven definitely gave it a nice depth, but the sauce was way too salty for my taste. The branzino with potatoes was deliciousβcooked perfectlyβbut I do wish it had a more visually appealing presentation. The space itself is beautifully done, with a really nice build-out and comfortable outdoor seating. The staff was friendly and very attentive, which definitely made the experience better.

Itβs like what many reviewers have said: the pasta is just ok. But the pizzas are great. The branzino entree was great. The drinks were great. The meatball appetizer and the fried calamari and shrimps were great. The chicken milanese entree was dry, though. This was the second time there. I remember the last time was even better.

Heard so much of Levante and definitely did not disappoint. Great appetizers, better pizzas and next level cocktails. Beautiful spacious interior accented with 30β ceiling. Choice of backyard dining when weather permits. Staff is very courteous and bartenders are very knowledgeable. Iβve nothing but praise for Levante.
