“ I was looking for a snack and was close to this place; I looked up Catania's on Yelp. It looked like they had good pizza and reviews, so I stopped by. There was a short line. People were ordering to go and a few people were sitting in the booths there. It seemed like a busy place. There were 3 people behind the counter who were cooking and running around the shop. I ordered a Sicilian and a vegetable slice. The slices were pretty large; these will last me the next few days. Each slice was two portions and bigger than the average slice. I grabbed two slices to go and tried them. They were fresh and hot. Their slices and pies go quickly. I'd recommend ordering ahead. There were also an array of calzones and other options available at the counter. I'm in the area frequently, and I'd definitely stop back again to try more of their options. ”
“ Excellent taste on real Italian flavors, good amicable people, very clean and reliable restaurant. Safe and quiet. Will keep going always for a great Spaghetti and meatballs. ”
“ Typical pizza place with a few tables if you opt to eat in. Every time I come home, I always try to make it here for a slice of the salad pizza. Nobody makes this pizza as delicious as Catania. My online order was quick took only 20 mins and my order was ready to be picked up. ”
“ So good. Not a place you would necessarily notice driving up Central Avenue, but this pizzeria is a gem. The mini-calzones are amazing. The place does offer a small number of seats for in-house dining, but the majority of the business is take-out. On a Friday night at 6pm this joint is hopping, people are flying in and out picking up their orders. Some like it so much they just sit and eat a slice in their cars. They have a garden salad slice that is enormous. The slice has garlic, mushrooms, spinach and sliced tomatoes. Almost an inch thick this slice will guarantee that you have gotten a full serving of veggies in your diet. I really enjoyed the crust. They prefer cash, but will take credit cards. I have Catania's on my top ten list of places to eat whenever in the Yonkers/Westchester area. Plenty of parking, it is located next to the Auto Zone. Buon appetito! ”
“ In this world how often do you find someone who will go that extra mile for another person. Haven't been to Catania's in a while and yet I was greeted with a handsome smile and when I explained what kind of Sicilian pizza I needed not only was it made but it was delicious. Finally s Sicilian I can eat at least twice a week and a special act of kindness I truly appreciate. Thank you so much and everyone this reviewer for Just reviews highly recommends Catania for five star pizza. Fran Lewis just reviews/ MJ network blog talk radio ”
