Love Love Love Love Love.. So many choices to choose from if even if you're looking to just get a slice. About 2.50 for a plain one, and it's a pretty decent size.. My only qualm, when they're slow, the pizza sits out so sometimes the slice you're consuming is a half day old..My second complaint.. they need to shorten their hours, because when I come home from a night out, that place is like a magnet drawing me closer... My thighs do not appreciate that stuff.. not one bit

Decent pizza place.... a little on the greasy side.
Their biggest secret is their WINGS.... very good and crispy wings.
Sometimes we order it at work, and if we can't finish, we feed it to the homeless people.
The place is dirt cheap, that's how I end-up always ordering too much.
Chances of Returning: 20%, I have only gotten takeout, at work. Trying to not get fat, so the 20% is an indication of how likely I would crack. But don't worry, there is this ghetto guy at work who's 4 favorite places are Subway, Quizno's, Abitino's and TGIFriday's, so I am sure I will see this pizza surface at work again sometime....
Lobster ravioli was thick and doughy around the edges. I didn't like it so much.
Plus, chocolate mousse is not tiramisu..and now I just realized I broke my lent promise..

Good and cheap. The perfect combination for a slice of pizza.
They premake their pies so and then reheat the slices when you ask. If you get a chance, try the white pizza (no sauce, just mozzarella with splashes of ricotta) - its fantastic!
Grab an order of 4 garlic knots for a dollar too - they're killer!
They have room to eat there, but its pretty basic... I would take out next time or maybe get them to deliver.
Mmmmm.... Remembering the white pizza... Leave me alone, I'm salivating...

This review is limited to what I am looking for in a NY pizza place: a good plain slice. If I were to incorporate other factors such as selection, available methods of payment, etc. this rating would definitely be higher (the selecting is excellent and as far as I know they are very accommodating when it comes to methods of payment). Anyway, overall the slice was pretty good. The crust was the highlight, being thin, chewy and very flavorful. The sauce was fairly good as well; light and flavorful but too salty. The cheese seemed on par with other good plain slices however since the slice was not sufficiently reheated the cheese was still firm (which made the texture less than ideal). All in all at 2.35 the slice was reasonably priced but was smaller than the large ones from Joe's up the street. All in all, if you want a plain slice go up Carmine to Joe's or better down Bleecker to Bleecker Street.

Great speciality pizzas. I've ordered a number of pies from them and I'm always happy. They're quick and reasonably priced.

Pretty good pizza place. Very quick and cheap, always a good combo. They have a salad pizza which is delicious. If you're not in the mood for the traditional sauce and cheese pizza, they have a wide variety of speciality pies to choose from. Get a half and half pie so you can try two different things and also make everyone happy.
I simply love Abitino's pizza. The crust is perfectly crispy with great sauce and scrumptious cheese.
This place is the best in the neighborhood for pizza. Not a lot of what you'd call "atmosphere," (or any, really), but that doesn't matter cause they're lightning fast and real good. Also, there's a deli on one side of them, and a video shop on the other, so it's just the place to pick up all the supplies for an evening holding down the sofa...
