AFFINITO embodies the spirit of New York’s legendary pizza culture, rooted in Emmaus since its inception. Our mission revolves around recreating the authentic taste of Brooklyn’s pizzerias with every slice. We use scratch-made sauces and fresh toppings, topping our thin crusts with the right balance of cheese, sauce, and ingredients. The chef, dedicated to quality, personally ensures the sauce’s consistency, bringing a true homemade experience to each pie. Our white pizzas and specialty offerings such as prosciutto arugula and marinara are crafted with the same care and attention.

We focus on community, serving locals who appreciate good food at an honest price—typically $10 to $20 per meal. We’re more than a pizza place; we’re a gathering spot where friends and families connect over familiar tastes that stir memories and create new ones.

Customer Reviews

Affinity Pizza has been a place multiple people have referred me to try, saying it was the best pizza in the area, but it took me some time to finally make my way there. I eventually got the chance to phone in an order for one plain pie for takeout. I was advised they’re cash only and that pizza orders had about a 45 minute wait. The nice thing is they do have an ATM inside the restaurant, something I only discovered after the fact (so please, learn from my mistake!). The staff was friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The pizza smelled amazing on the trek back home, crispy, thinner crust, with just the right dusting of seasoning and love. I’ll definitely be back.

Happy and fortunate to say this place is close by! Tried for the first time tonight, the pizza was crispy and perfect topping ratio. Sauce is delightfully bright and fragrant. I got a pepperoni and onion NY style. My husband also got a cheese steak sandwich, and I tried it and it was the best cheese steak Ive ever had. The meat was full of flavor, cheesy, bread was fresh. We also tried the garlic bread with mozzarella cheese. Love the fresh chunks of garlic. This place is a must try!

Honestly, their pizza reminds me of an authentic Italian restaurant I grew up with that is no longer open. Brought back memories of fresh, homemade marinara sauce and the crust was crispy and thin (how we ordered it). The ingredients on top were heavenly! We ordered to go, I can only imagine how much better their pizza would be dining in!

I saw someone recently post a glowing review for Affinito in Emmaus. After looking a little deeper, my wife and I went to give them a try. First thing to know is they are presently CASH ONLY. They have an ATM, which was fortunate for us. Anyway, I got their meat lover's pie, and my wife got their tomato basil white pizza, adding ham to it. One of the first things I look for is a crust that doesn't flop when you fold it. Other that the very tip, which will happen with toppings that add moisture, the slice stood straight out when I folded it. This crust is just incredible. It has the right kind of crisp followed by the perfect chew. The sauce was naturally sweet, but not because of any added sugar. They make their sauce from scratch. In fact, the chef is the only one who makes the sauce, to ensure consistency. The amount of cheese is just right. I find that places that put a ridiculous amount of cheese on their pie are trying to cover up the lack of flavor elsewhere. Having been born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I have been searching for pizza like this for many years. This place for me is tied for the absolute best pizza in the valley. You jave got to try it Also, the zeppoles are a must try, if they are available! Their version is the version I remember when I was a kid in Brooklyn! First thing that I said after the first bite. So much better than any other zeppole I have had anywhere else. Give Affinito a try. You won't regret it!

Stopped in for dinner last night. Long wait time (which we were warned of as soon as we walked in) but it was well worth the wait. Sauce is great and pizza was crisp and delicious!

Our daughter worked close by and brought home a pie one evening. I said wow this is absolutely amazing. Where did you get this from Affinato in Emma's she says. So today, we decided to come in and try it. Let me tell you. There is no comparison in the LV. Super thin, amazing crunch, and the flavors are in abundance. Perfection! If this place was a secret I'd advise you to get here soon before you know who finds it :). No one bite here, pie stood no chance! FANTASTIC!!!!!
