Pizzeria Del-Dio

This local favorite is run by a Brooklyn native whose first endeavor served Canarsie for some two decades before heading south to Orlando. Pizzeria Del-Dio serves up Italian specialties, along with what some call the city's best pizza, using recipes garnered from family members. Like most pizzerias, the atmosphere is decidedly casual, infused with both garlic and happy regulars getting their fix. New York-style and Sicilian crust pies are available, whole or by the slice, and if you're looking for a pizza for that special someone, Del-Dio's will make you up a heart-shaped order, presumably for the purpose of courting a very serious foodie.
