Circle Pizza

I went back this past weekend and its been a couple of years since id been there since they had moved. To my surprise it was the same nice guys behind the counter serving up the same great pizza. They even remembered me and my family. I kinda forgot how consistently good their pizza is. Their sauce is a good mix of sweet and tangy, great crust and cheese, qnd they still had one of my personal favorites, their pepperoni wheels for a very good price. Due to the change in venue, they only have standup room. Maybe one or two smalls tables will help keep customers their to talk with staff longer. And maybe some decor added like they had in the other space to liven up the walls. But it was a true treat going back. Great staff and great pizza. I hope for more years ahead for circle pizza.

I had the opportunity of checking out this local Bronx Pizza Shop & Restaurant on a whim while walking back from visiting another restaurant nearby. Happy to have glanced over, I decided to stop in because the energy and atmosphere of this establishment was open, peaceful, welcoming, very well maintained esthetically and busy with many community locals and families stopping in to grab their favorite eats. After chatting it up with a few of the customers about what was good to get and viewing the menu carefully, I decided to try a slice and some baked ziti with parmesan chicken. The Cheese Slice at this establishment is one of the best I've had in the Bx. The Dough, to Sauce & Cheese ratios were great. The dough was cooked well done and not overly dusted with flour residue, the undercarriage of the pizza was great also. I appreciated that the dough wasn't to thick or too thin. The Pizza was crispy as I ordered it and not floppy, soggy or falling over like some slices could be. The sauce had a bit of sweetness with a hit of tang that balanced very well with the mild notes of the cheese used to make the pizza. There was a great amount of cheese on the Pizza and it was Cooked well and not too greasy. I elevated my slice even more by sprinkling a bit of oregano & light garlic powder to bring all the flavors together. Even the crust of the pizza was good. I would give the slice a 4/5 and will be purchasing more pizza next time I visit. (Pizza Slice Price: $3.50) The Baked Ziti with Parmesan Chicken and side of italian hero bread was cooked to order and piping hot when I received it. I appreciated that the Chicken wasn't overly bulky within the meal and cooked well done & sliced down how I like it. However, I would have loved to tasted a stronger Parmesan flavor profile within the chicken. The Pasta was cooked al dente, the marinara sauce had it's own distinctive flavor and the cheese on top was delicious. I got the bread toasted, but next time I'll just keep it sliced without heating it up. Overall, I would give my baked ziti experience from this restaurant a 3/5. I would have loved to have tasted more flavors brought through the ziti sauce maybe with a hit of fresh garlic, basil and herbs infused into the sauce to kick up the experience. Or maybe next time, I'll just request the herbs to be placed into the sauce or add it myself. Definitely can't wait to try some other delicious eats from this establishment in the near future and wish them all the best serving great food to many people from all walks of life. If you're in the market for Tasty Eats, then check out the local gem in the Heart of the Bronx. (8oz Pan of Baked Ziti with Sauce & Chicken: $15.00) #circlepizza

Straight up one of the BEST neighborhood pizza spots in the Bronx. Circle Pizza does not miss. The slices come out HOT, cheesy, and loaded — perfect crust, great sauce, and exactly the kind of New York pizza you crave. Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice or a full pie, the quality is always on point and the service is fast and friendly. No gimmicks, no nonsense — just consistently fire pizza every single time. This is a real local staple. If you’re in the area and not stopping here, you’re doing it wrong.

Been liking there pizza for many years. Even before they moved to this location. One of the workers even knows my name as I mentioned it to him and will always prefer this place than most other pizza shops around my neighborhood. >w<

I've had the pizza before. Always a hit. First time ordering pasta, that was a hit. Got the baked ziti with chicken and garlic bread with cheese. The sauce amount looks low but trust its the perfect amount.

Happy to see Joey finally open his new location alongside the Cross BX Expwy. Circle Pizza still makes the best meatball / sausage Parm heroes! Update photos: baked ziti with sausage parmesan platter, and lasagna ... fantastic!
