Is Nonna's Pizzeria clean?

Nonna's Pizzeria is currently listed as closed by NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), as of its inspection on April 1, 2026. That inspection scored 68 points and cited 3 critical violations. A closure means inspectors found conditions serious enough to stop service — it is not the same as a restaurant choosing to shut down, and the listing can change once the problems are fixed and re-inspected. The last grade the city posted here was A on March 22, 2024, before the closure.

How New York grades restaurants

New York City health inspectors score violations in points, and lower is better: 0–13 points earns an A, 14–27 a B, and 28 or more a C. Every restaurant is inspected at least once a year, and the letter has to be posted in the window. A restaurant that scores 14 or more on the first inspection of a cycle does not get a letter right away — it stays “Grade Pending” until a re-inspection settles it, which is why some spots here show an hourglass instead of a letter. Cooked only ever shows a letter the city actually posted; we never infer one from a score.
