There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. On Mar 7, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about.

Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around seven violations lately compared to roughly five violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “hot TCS food item not held at or above 140 °F” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

By comparison, the average Staten Island facility scores 75, putting Primo's Famous Pizzeria on the weaker side. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
