Pantano's on Westside Avenue Is Haverstraw's Reliable Weeknight Pie

There is a particular kind of pizzeria that every neighborhood needs: no fuss, consistent, open when you need it. Pantano's Pizzeria & Deli on Westside Avenue in Haverstraw fits that description cleanly. It is the kind of place where you already know what you want before you get through the door.

The menu covers the ground you'd expect from a serious New York operation — by-the-slice pies, Sicilian squares, hot heroes loaded with Italian cold cuts and deli fixings, and full Italian dinner plates for when you want something that requires a fork. That range is worth noting. A lot of pizzerias in the county do slices well but thin out after that. Pantano's extends into deli and dinner territory without losing focus, which makes it useful on more nights than just pizza night.

The setup is straightforward: delivery, pickup, and a small dine-in counter for those who'd rather eat right there. The counter seating suits a quick solo lunch or an after-work stop before heading home through Haverstraw. If you live anywhere near Westside Avenue, the delivery radius likely covers you.

This is not a destination restaurant in the sense that you'd drive in from Nyack or Nanuet for a special occasion. It is something arguably more valuable — a default you can trust on a Wednesday when nobody feels like cooking. The Sicilian in particular is worth ordering if you're picking up; the thick crust holds up better than a regular slice on the drive home.

For families, working parents, or anyone new to the Haverstraw area trying to figure out where the reliable spots are, Pantano's is the kind of answer that takes one visit to confirm. See the full listing for hours, contact information, and details on delivery.
