"When Forma Pasta Factory first opened its doors in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, in 2019, they never dreamed they'd become America's top eatery for Italian delivery this year, according to a recent DoorDash report. In fact, they originally planned to forego delivery service altogether. So when the third-party app announced America's Favorite Delivery Spots of 2025 on Wednesday, based on customer ratings, Forma's owner, Amit Rabinovich, was "pleasantly surprised.""
""Delivery was not a thing we wanted to do," Rabinovich, 42, admitted. "We got our arm twisted - our first-year anniversary coincided pretty much with the shutdown." The Forma team went into "survival mode," testing dishes over and over to develop the best product they could, even - and especially - via courier for homebound New Yorkers. "Obviously, it's never the same, but we were adamant about still trying to give a great experience to the customer," Rabinovich said."
"Working with homemade pasta is a delicious but delicate endeavor. At Froma, chefs are careful to prepare orders as close to delivery time as possible - and they only deliver within a two- to three-mile radius from each restaurant location to ensure it's piping hot and not a bit overcooked on arrival. "We have a team that works really hard to push consistency and quality," Rabinovich said."
Forma Pasta Factory opened in Greenpoint, Brooklyn in 2019 and achieved top status for Italian delivery in 2025 based on customer ratings. The restaurant initially planned to avoid delivery but pivoted when its first-year anniversary coincided with the pandemic shutdown. The team entered survival mode, repeatedly testing dishes and optimizing them for courier service. Chefs make fresh pasta daily and prepare orders as close to delivery time as possible. Delivery is restricted to a two- to three-mile radius to maintain temperature and texture. The operation emphasizes consistency, quality control, and a dedicated team effort.
