King Umberto

King Umberto has been a Nassau County institution since 1991, and their vodka slice has achieved near-mythical status among Long Island pizza enthusiasts. The creamy, slightly pink sauce with just the right amount of heat — it's the stuff of legend.

This family-owned spot takes their craft seriously. Three generations have worked these ovens, passing down techniques and recipes that haven't changed since day one. Why fix what isn't broken?

Beyond pizza, their Italian specialties are equally impressive. The baked ziti, chicken parm, and eggplant rollatini all taste like they came from an Italian grandmother's kitchen — because the recipes did.
