Rustic Pizza & Pasteria: $7 Cocktails and Bar Pies on Richmond Rd
Rustic Pizza & Pasteria has happy hour Monday to Friday, 3–6pm, at the bar only: $7 signature cocktails, 12” bar pies from $9.95 and apps the restaurant bills as half price. It’s at 1789 Richmond Rd on Staten Island.
The verdict: a good weekday deal if you like your pizza with a martini on the side. Six cocktails at a flat $7 is easy math, and a bar pie from $9.95 is a proper meal for one. The catch is the fine print: it’s the bar area only, so you can’t take it to a dining room table, and the window ends at 6pm.
The Happy Hour
- Signature cocktails, $7: six of them, including the Dirty Italian Martini with pepperoni-stuffed olives, the Strawberry Limoncello Spritz and the Negroni Bianco
- Bar pies: 12” pies from $9.95
- Apps: wings, fried calamari, rice balls and garlic bread, billed as half price
Monday to Friday, 3–6pm, seated at the bar.
The Room
Rustic calls itself Staten Island’s neighborhood Italian, serving handcrafted pizza and house-made pasta. The upside-down pepperoni pan pizza is its signature. The original location on Lincoln Avenue opened in 2020. It also does family-style dining for groups, which is dine-in only, plus catering and private parties. The nearest train is Jefferson Av (SIR).
