"Among the rankings of the best restaurants in the U.S. for wood-fired pizzas rests Milkflower. This Astoria-based haunt consistently serves quality pies, and customers gush about their experiences online. Brothers Peter and Danny Aggelatos opened the place, and their time spent in the restaurant world clearly paid off. "Amazing pizza, amazing service and great ambiance," wrote a customer on Yelp."
"Before the pizza arrives, starters include mixed olives and almonds served with sourdough, confit tomato, burrata, basil, and olive oil, and a fruit-nut-bread plated with ricotta, fig, and honeycomb. For those who love the smoky effect of flame-licked dishes, a selection of wood-fired vegetables can be brought to the table. Salad options include the restaurant's take on a Caesar made with Swiss chard, a salad option made with cara cara oranges and radicchio, or a salad with arugula and fried shallots."
Milkflower in Astoria earns recognition for wood-fired pizzas and consistent quality. Brothers Peter and Danny Aggelatos opened the restaurant and built a buzzy, charming atmosphere with a curated beer list. Starters include mixed olives and almonds with sourdough, confit tomato, burrata, and a fruit-nut-bread with ricotta, fig, and honeycomb. Wood-fired vegetables and varied salads — including a Swiss chard Caesar, cara cara orange with radicchio, and arugula with fried shallots — expand options. Smaller plates range from wood-roasted octopus to meatballs and crab cakes, and pastas like bucatini with pork ragu ensure filling meals. Pizzas carry unique names and can be customized with toppings such as jalapeño, pineapple, mushroom, anchovy, egg, sausage, speck, or spicy soppressata.
