“ Family environment great pizza and bar food. Simple quick atentive service, clean as bars go. After work hot spot! One of SINYs top pizza spots! ”

“ Going to say best pizza on the island, artichoke hearts, calamari, personal pizzas everything. You sit in the bar waiting for your food so much history in this little place. Everyone there is super nice. I eat there 2 times a week. Down side no delivery service. We need DoorDash or GrubHub for this place 2025 ”

“ Wow! This place is truly amazing! Doesn't even have a sign outside, but the people that go there know where they are going! Lol! This place has been open forever. Probably since I came to Staten Island in 1957. Truly amazing bar with restaurant seating, And amazing food. Pizza is thin and crusty, makes you want to order another one. Other recruitment include heroes, and of course, ice cold beer in a mug. Ask any longtime STATEN island re about leaves Tavern, and they will say the same thing. "If you haven't been there, try it!" And you really should. It's a wonderful piece of history for Staten Island, and you will never be disappointed in the quality of their food. It goes perfectly with the decor, which is old, typical bar/restaurant combination, and in need of a do over, but if you did it over, it would no longer be THE Lees Tavern as we know it. ”

“ This corner Italian bar & grill is the cat's pajamas for old time New York neighborhood watering hole dive bars on Staten Island. Third generation, the bar room is darkly lit with tintype ceiling and wood/mirrored back bar. It has atmosphere up the wazoo! Even better, their thin crust pizza is terrific and well worth the drive from Bucks County, PA, as the dinner stop after exploration of local beaches and Fort Wadsworth. Their signature White Clam Pie is terrific. Crisp crust. Mild clam flavor mixed with melted mozza was surprisingly delicious for this first timer. Our pie was half regular tomato/cheese, which was a great counterpoint to the diced clams. We also ordered a half platter of Fried Calamari with medium spice red dipping sauce. Very nice as an appetizer. Service was provided by family and friends of the owners. At the end we met Momma Lee, who described the fifty plus years of close family involvement in the enterprise. It felt so cozy that we thought of hanging around longer to absorb more of whatever Lee's Tavern was putting out. But, they needed to turnover tables for folks waiting by the front door, so we paid and told ourselves we would be back for more. 5 Generational Stars ”

“ Quick review. I haven't been to Lee's since moving off Staten Island nine years ago. The interior hasn't changed at all which is great. It has retained its nice neighborhood feel. The pizza here is some of the best you'll get on Staten Island. I gave my fellow traveler the options for several places and he chose here because of the bar pie option. I've never had the buffalo "galamad" (calamari) before and it was great. I was craving a clam pie which you can't get anywhere where I live now. It was delicious. My friend enjoyed his very much as well. The waitress was attentive and stopped by regularly to ask if we needed anything. It's cash only here so have the greenbacks when you come. Street parking can be difficult on weekends but on Wednesday at 1230, no problem. ”

“ Total 5 stars all around!!!!!! hurry and get there and Mangia!!!! I don't care how much of a pizza aficionado you think you are, you have to put Lee's Tavern on your bucket list. ”

“ As a native son of the Isle of Staten, County of Richmond, this is in my top two for the area. It's thin, but not too thin, the sauce is deliciously fresh, and the sauce to cheese ratio is perfect for my liking. The regular food is good too, the sandwiches in particular. I also recommend the fried calamari. It's crisp and fresh, and the dipping sauce is thick enough that it isn't your normal marinara, so it doesn't just slide off into oblivion. Where this spot really wins out is the FEEL. The ambiance, the service, the people, and the area lack any pretension whatsoever. When you show up more than once, they remember you, your kids names, and where you went to High School. Prices are super reasonable, and the location near the train is super convenient. Cash only (as all the legit spots in these parts are). Prepare accordingly. ATM in the back if you don't, so no worries. ”

“ C'mon......everyone knows Lee's is the best pizza on Staten Island. Great prices, still old-world tavern with a fantastic jukebox. Prices are incredible and not a bad pizza on the menu. Nick Marino ”

“ Best pizza on Staten Island hands down. Always a classic, have been going there for over a decade. Pizza is thin crust and delectable everytime. My favorite is the white clam pie. All of their pizzas are amazing. A must get appetizer is the buffalo calamari!!! Very hospitable, all of the family is welcome here. Lee's never disappoints and quality has remained the same over the years. ”
