Decades is the neighborhood gem serving up incredible pizza with a perfect crust, stellar cocktails, and an inviting vibe that makes every visit feel special.
"Decades is a pizza parlor for people who remember dining-in at Pizza Hut back in the day. The '80s basement interior—wood walls, white subway tiles, a neon green accent light—will give you first-date flashbacks, except now you can get a nice bottle of wine with your Real ID. There are three classic tomato and cheese-based pies, as well as a full list of special pies with toppings like maitake mushroom, 'nduja, and potatoes. Priced at $25-$35 per pie, these are on the pricier side, but they’re pretty big and manage to be thin, crisp, fluffy, and charred in all the right places." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman
"Roberta’s alum Zack Hughes and Paul Cacici, co-founder of Italian sandwich shop Carmenta’s, are the latest owners to open a pizzeria in Ridgewood. Pies range from the classic pepperoni to versions with potato or oyster mushrooms. The chopped salad as well as the daily-special plates are not to be missed. The dining room is as stylish as its pies: Dark green mood lighting makes it one of the best options in the area for date night with prices that track with special occasions." - Robert Sietsema, Andrew Karpan
"Hot Water Cafe, one of several “boundary-busting” bagel spots from the west coast, is coming to NYC to give this city’s bagels a run for their money. The pop-up will take-over brunch service at Ridgewood’s Decades Pizza on August 19." - Emma Orlow
"Decades in Ridgewood is making some of NYC’s best new pizza. The room feels like a Pizza Hut that got a high-fashion glow up, and the combination of neon green accent lighting and a playlist of ’80s radio hits strikes just the right balance of nostalgia. Most of the tables are two tops, and there’s plenty of seating at the bar, so this is better for catch ups and date nights than big groups. Pizza is the main attraction, and we can’t stop thinking about how the crust manages to be thin, crisp, fluffy, and charred in all the right places. There’s no wrong answer when it comes to toppings, but we love the Big Cheese with added pepperoni. Save room for a slice of tiramisu layer cake at the end of your meal. photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte" - Carina Finn
