Uncle Joes Pizza is just down the block from La Grova. I thought La Grova would be my favorite of the day, but Uncle Joe’s held its own. Upon talking to the owner of Uncle Joe’s, it quickly became apparent, this guy and I have similar views on pizza.
Uncle Joe’s opened up 25 years ago, and as the owner states: “it was back when people didn’t put toppings on their slices of pizza.When you wanted a slice, you just said give me a slice.” Prior to opening in Lake Grove they were in Astoria then Lynbrook, Rosedale, and Albertson.
