Bravo Kosher Pizza — Kosher Restaurant Review in Manhattan

If you're looking into kosher pizza in Manhattan, Bravo Kosher Pizza is one of the longest-running names in the city's kosher dairy scene — a casual, OK Kosher certified pizzeria known for New York-style slices, pies, and pasta a few blocks from Herald Square. I looked into the restaurant's current location, hours, and what customers are actually saying about it, so you know what to expect before you go.

Note that Bravo has moved since I first covered it — if you've visited before at the old West 37th Street address, the pizzeria is now at 378 5th Ave. Everything below reflects the restaurant's current address, hours, and reviews as of writing.

🍕 What's on the Menu

Prices current as of writing — always confirm at checkout.

Bravo is a kosher dairy (milchig) restaurant, so the entire menu is meat-free. The classic cheese pizza is the anchor of the menu — a New York-style pie with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan, sold whole ($34.99) or by the slice ($4.25). Garlic knots ($3.00 and up) are the go-to starter, and among the pasta dishes, penne alla vodka ($15.99) gets called out often enough in reviews that it's worth ordering alongside a slice.

For something lighter, Bravo offers a Greek salad and a Caesar salad, both $16.99, along with French fries at $9.99. It's a casual, quick-service menu rather than a sit-down tasting experience — a handful of reliable dishes rather than an extensive list, which suits a fast lunch or a family dinner where meat isn't the plan.

⭐ What People Are Saying

A round-up of ratings and reviews from around the web.

Feedback on Bravo is generally positive but mixed, which tracks with what you'd expect from a fast, casual pizzeria rather than a sit-down restaurant. On the kosher dining directory koshernear.me, several reviewers single out the pizza as consistently tasty, with more than one describing it as their favorite kosher slice in the city. Others are more lukewarm, flagging the pasta as pricier than expected for what you get, and a few mention the food running on the oilier side.

On Wheree, reviewers frequently point to the quality of the ingredients — especially the fresh mozzarella — and the friendliness of the staff as highlights, though several note that Bravo runs on the pricier end for a kosher pizzeria. Seating is limited, which comes up more than once as a reason to lean toward takeout or delivery rather than dining in during a busy lunch rush.

Overall, the picture that emerges is a reliable, no-frills kosher pizza spot that's better suited to a quick slice or a takeout order than a leisurely sit-down meal — consistent with its Tripadvisor rating in the 4-star range and steady stream of repeat customers over the years.

🔎 What to Look For at a Kosher Pizzeria

Confirm the certification in person. Bravo is certified OK Kosher, one of the most widely recognized kosher certifying agencies in the US. Even so, it's always worth glancing at the posted certificate near the entrance or register — certifications can lapse or change if a restaurant switches ownership or supervising agency.

Dairy means dairy — no meat on this menu. Bravo runs a milchig kitchen, so everything from the pizza to the pasta is dairy or pareve. That makes it a poor fit if you're looking for a meat meal, but a reliable one for a Shabbat-adjacent lunch or a cheese-forward dinner.

Hours shift around Shabbat. Friday closing and Saturday reopening times move with the time of year, so always confirm before a weekend visit rather than relying on a fixed schedule.

Read recent reviews, not just old ones. Bravo relocated from its former West 37th Street address to 378 5th Ave, and experiences can shift with a move. The Kosher Hub is not a Kosher Authority, and this review reflects information available at the time of writing.
