Master Critic Reviews (3 Lists)

Beebe's 8.1
Dutch Kills
A hotel-lobby pizzeria that works because the pies stay crisp and reliable, and the room is built for a low-friction hang. Treat it like a repeatable play: one red-sauce classic, one “topping” pie, and a small plate so the table has rhythm beyond slices.
Must-Try Dishes: Pepperoni pizza, Margherita pizza, Brussels sprouts (shareable side)
Scores:
Value: 7.6 Service: 8.1 Consistency: 8.3 Food Quality: 8.3 Atmosphere: 8.2 Cultural Relevance: 7.6
What makes it special: Consistently crisp pies in an easy, group-friendly space.
Who should go: Groups, casual dates, hotel-area diners
When to visit: Early dinner before peak crowds
What to order: Pepperoni, margherita, one veggie-topping pie
Insider tip: Split two pies for contrast instead of stacking similar toppings.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive; nearby garages are the safer bet if you’re driving.
Dress code: Casual-smart—jeans and sneakers are fine, but it still feels put-together.
Noise level: Moderate—lively enough for groups, but you can still hold a conversation without shouting.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during peak hours without a reservation
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or a short 5–10 minute wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple veggie pies and sides make it easy to build a full meal.
Vegan options: Limited—can customize a pie with no cheese and vegetable toppings, but no dedicated vegan menu.
Gluten-free options: Limited—gluten-free crust availability can vary; best to ask before ordering.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, especially if you want something low-pressure—the setting is relaxed, the menu is familiar, and sharing pies gives you something to do without feeling formal.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually, yes—walk-ins are common, but arriving earlier in the evening improves your odds during busy weekends.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—families fit right in, the menu is approachable for kids, and the space can handle some noise without feeling chaotic.
Best For
Better for: Easy group hangs, predictable pizza quality, and situations where you want a no-drama, everyone’s-happy option.
Skip if: You’re chasing destination-level pizza or a quiet, intimate atmosphere—there are better picks if the food itself needs to be the main event.
Beebe's 7.7
Dutch Kills
A hotel-lobby pizzeria with a clean, easy vibe that’s surprisingly useful for private gatherings when you want something simple and controlled. The best move is to treat it like a pizza-and-sides party: two signature pies, one salad, one hot appetizer—then let the room do the rest.
Must-Try Dishes: Campfire pizza, Pepperoni chips, Meatballs
Scores:
Value: 7.6 Service: 7.8 Consistency: 7.8 Food Quality: 7.9 Atmosphere: 7.4 Cultural Relevance: 7.2
What makes it special: Private-event friendly pizza service that stays low-friction for groups.
Who should go: Teams and families who want an easy group meal
When to visit: Early evening before dinner rush
What to order: Two pizzas, pepperoni chips, meatballs
Insider tip: Order pizzas first, then add sides once the table settles.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive; paid garages nearby are the most reliable option after 6pm.
Dress code: Casual to smart casual—jeans and sneakers are fine, especially for group meals.
Noise level: Moderate—lively enough for energy, but you can still hold a group conversation.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes without a reservation; private events are smoother with advance planning.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or minimal.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple vegetarian pizzas and salads make this easy.
Vegan options: Limited—can customize pies without cheese, but options are not extensive.
Gluten-free options: Limited—gluten-free crust may be available, but cross-contamination is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? It works if you want something casual and low-pressure, but it’s better for relaxed hangouts than intimate conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, especially earlier in the evening or on weekdays; groups should still call ahead.
Is it kid-friendly? Very—pizza-centric menu, quick service, and a forgiving atmosphere make it easy with kids.
Best For
Better for: Easy group logistics, predictable pizza-and-sides ordering, and low-stress private gatherings.
Skip if: You want a quiet, intimate private room or a more elevated, chef-driven dining experience.
Beebe's 8.6
Dutch Kills
A hotel-lobby pizzeria that treats pizza like a real kitchen project—thin-crust pies with confident toppings, plus a menu of pastas and small plates that makes it work for an actual sit-down meal. It’s one of the more reliable “nice but not precious” options in LIC when you want pizza with ambience and a full-service rhythm.
Must-Try Dishes: Vodka pie with pepperoni, Margherita pie, Fugazzeta-style pie (when available)
Scores:
Value: 7.7 Service: 8.4 Consistency: 8.6 Food Quality: 8.8 Atmosphere: 8.6 Cultural Relevance: 8.1
What makes it special: A true sit-down pizzeria experience with thin-crust pies and a polished room.
Who should go: Pizza people who want a real meal
When to visit: Weeknights before peak dinner rush
What to order: Vodka pepperoni pie, margherita, seasonal special
Insider tip: Split one pie and one appetizer—better pacing and value.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive; nearby paid garages are the safest bet, especially at night.
Dress code: Smart casual—jeans are fine, but the room leans polished so a step above everyday casual fits best.
Noise level: Moderate—lively enough to feel social, but you can still hold a full conversation.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, especially after 7pm.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or a short one.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple veggie-friendly pizzas, pastas, and small plates.
Vegan options: Limited—can accommodate with simple modifications, but not a dedicated vegan menu.
Gluten-free options: Limited—some gluten-free options available, but pizza lovers should confirm current crust availability.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—it’s polished without feeling stiff, with a comfortable pace that makes conversation easy and shared pies feel natural.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes on weeknights or early evenings; weekends are much easier with a reservation.
Is it kid-friendly? Better for adults and older kids—there’s no kids menu, but straightforward pizzas work for teens.
Best For
Better for: A true sit-down pizza dinner with ambience, cocktails, and a full-service feel—more date- and group-friendly than quick-slice spots.
Skip if: You want ultra-cheap pizza, fast counter service, or a casual grab-and-go experience.
