#PeachysPicksQueens #ThePizzaFactory #LongIslandCity A Peachy's Pick Since 2023 Spring 2025 by Chef and Owner #EdinRedzic #DinoRedzic #ErnisBerisa and #MikeyPerez Not Only Still the First But Also the ONLY Peachy's Pick Ever in Queens

The Pizza Factory may be casual but the caliber of the Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp is all white tablecloth with pinkies out with the talents of Chef Edin

Owner Edin Redzic of The Pizza Factory, the First Restaurant Ever in an Outer Borough to Earn a Peachy's Pick designation

It's not who you know it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we knew Mover and Shaker Mayor Ed Koch!

Everyone knows his bridge, and it is the bridge to pizza in our humble opinion. We are pretty sure he is reading upstairs and hope he joined us in spirit for this pizza.

On our way to The Pizza Factory, Peachy wore a hat from another winner father and son team we told you about last fall, Hampton Water.

It should speak volumes to you when Peachy raves about something outside of Manhattan because that means she actually had to leave Manhattan which has nearly everything except a beach to get there. The Pizza Factory has pizza that is so tremendously delicious it is better than a lot of Manhattan places we've tried and better than ALL the Manhattan places we have tried and not published on. Chef Edin Redzic does not rest upon the success of his awesome Dad Dino: he has earned it independently and everyone knows Peachy is a tough cookie. Dino has never been to The Pizza Factory during Peachy's visits.

We always try a whole cheese pizza and this continues to thrive with the chewy, delicious crust, tantalizing sauce and inviting cheesy goodness. This tells you the building block to all the fabulous pizzas is just the beginning.

We are very into vegetables on pizza year round but especially during Fridays in Lent.

Ricotta comes to the party in this pizza Peachy designed (but obviously did not make-she ordered) and mushrooms, spinach, tomato, onions and garlic combined for a symphony of spectacular flavor in perfect proportion.

We do not edit pictures.

The pizza is truly this gorgeous.

Don't hate it because it's beautiful.

Eat it.

Mademoiselle Peachy loves Croque Monsieur which is a way to say ham and cheese en francais mes amis. To that end, the Ham Calzone is a culinary triumph at The Pizza Factory and it is so much fun to break apart the fresh dough and cannonball into the marinara which is an ideal companion. It is superior to the run of the mill marinara and you want to make sure you have enough for all your little piggies (you know, the ham). Edin may be young but he is a lot smarter than many twice his age evidenced by the brilliant item of Grilled Organic Vegetables. This is a great addition to any pizza place menu and is robust with flavor highlighting the natural goodness of squash, carrots, cauliflower, green and red bell peppers and broccoli. Yes you can eat pizza and be healthy. We write for the reader who wants it all.

Peachy is a devoted follower of Fettuccine Alfredo usually with Chicken.

Well we are eating fish more during lent and it is even better with Shrimp at The Pizza Factory, which as we have alluded to goes far beyond the pizza. It's al dente exactly right and the flavoring of the sauce is pure divinity.

Everyone knows we are big on salads and from the House Salad above with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and onions to a custom salad you can design - Peachy picked broccoli, grape tomatoes and red onion- The Pizza Factory has all of your nutritional boxes checked and they listen and put the dressing on the side for Ms. Uberpicky.

It does take a lot of caffeine to get Peachy out of Manhattan and The Pizza Factory made her a DunQueen in Queens! Hey Ben Affleck we will be in your next Superbowl Commercial!

And sometimes anything boys can do, girls can do better! Assistant Manager and Cashier Danijela was a super help.

Also there are multiple fruit choices to go with your pizza and we opted for melon which was cut up FRESH. Some places we can taste do this way before they put it out but not here: it is SUPER FRESH.

And a peachy hue too:

Whom You Know continues to Highly Recommend The Pizza Factory in Long Island City, Queens!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
