    Menu 1 (after relocation)
    Doris C.

    They relocated! This is the only pizza spot my parents like. After they closed on 86 st , my family was at a loss and tried the replacement pizzeria and a few other nearby pizza spots...none of them were as good. Thankfully, they didn't close for good, but just relocated. Happy to note that the pizza is the same and the spinach rolls (thankfully) are the same!

    Good local neighborhood pizza. I've had bad boys before when they were in their old location in 86st. I found them again at their new location. Pizza is still good with their soft crust. The buffalo wings were okay. Had a good amount of meat and they were thick. Sauce was good with a nice little kick. The calamari was meh and I would not get again. The garlic knots were worth and definitely would get again. Baked clams were a hard no for me because it didn't taste fresh and had a weird taste.

    This is a no frills Brooklyn pizzeria located in Bensonhurst. I came in to the pizzeria about 7pm on a Saturday night they didn't have a huge selection to choose from so I went with a regular slice and a square and my mom opted for a fresh mozzarella slice.I took a seat in the back of the pizzeria and they brought out our pizza to us piping hot. I have to say I was pretty impressed with how good the slice and square was the fresh mozzarella was a little underwhelming, but definitely a good place to stop in for a slice.

    FRESH Garlic Knots!
    Patricia C.

    Excellent pizza. Thin crust. Not too rich in cheese. Light on the tomato sauce. Best pizza along with garlic knots I've tasted so far!! Ask for more garlic on the garlic knots and they will give it to you. The staff is very friendly and accommodating! I recommend trying the plain slice for starters. You will not be disappointed!

    Sicilian Pizza

    Bad Boys Pizza is possibly one of the best pizzerias that I've been to mostly because I grew up eating their pizza. It's super convenient for me since I live so close and their pizza never disappoints! The pizzas are delicious here! I usually get mushroom slice or chicken slice. They don't use real mushrooms here, but it's still delectable! This is the only pizzeria that I know has a rice ball. If you don't know what it is, it's basically a fried ball of rice with a hint of tomato sauce with peas and ground beef in the center. So good! Their Sicilian pizza (if made fresh) is fantastic! Each slice is humongous and with lots and lots of cheese. I also tried their grilled chicken Casear salad which was a decent size, but didn't taste good at all, so don't think I would be a getting a salad from them again. If you're in the Bensonhurst area ever, you should definitely try out Bad Boys Pizza. The staff are very nice and friendly and their pizza is unbelievably tasty.

    Freshly made chicken rolls. Calzones, if you're nasty.

    Be warned, as my review might be biased since I'm a longtime customer, but Bad Boys Pizza is often my go-to spot (suck it, L&B) when I'm back in the old neighborhood. Even though their grandma pies hold up well against local competition, and their Sicilian pies are some of my favorite, it's their classic Neapolitan pizza that keeps me coming back for more. While it's not the coal oven slices that seem to be all the rage, the undercarriage always has a nice char and the crust has a decent crunch upon first bite followed by a playful chew into sauce and cheese. Second favorite? Their calzones which they always make to order when I enter. Compare that to when L&B knowingly stooged off a burnt pie to me. Make mine Bad Boys, please.

    Brooklyn pizza, baby!
    Anthony G.

    I'll keep it nice and short: It's a pizzeria in the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn. Yes, it's good. Crispy crust and perfect cheese to sauce ratio. Want good pizza? Come here. Like most pizzerias in Brooklyn, this one's recommended.

Reservations were tough (stand in line and then they'll tell you what time to come back) and we got an 830 res. Still one of my favorite pizzas!

    Standard-Issue Nostalgia with a Side of Rushed Hospitality…read more If you enjoy paying in time rather than digital convenience, Lucali's reservation process is a masterclass in performative nostalgia. Arriving at 2 PM to stand in a line for two hours just to get on a list for a 7 PM seating doesn't make the place feel exclusive, it makes it feel like a punishment. But hey, we got a table, so the sacrifice was supposed to be worth it. It wasn't. Lucali is BYOB, which is fine in theory. My party brought two bottles of prosecco, fully prepared for a cozy, rustic evening. The server kindly offered to pop the first bottle, then brought out our glassware: heavy, standard water glasses, fresh out of the commercial dishwasher and literally piping hot. There is a special kind of absurdity in pouring crisp, ice-cold prosecco into a glass that feels like it was just pulled from the depths of hell. To top it off, nobody offered to keep our second bottle chilled. Minor detail, sure, but for a place with this level of cult status, the low-effort service immediately set the tone. To give credit where it's due, the ambiance is legitimately cool. It's dimly lit, atmospheric, and feels like step-back-in-time Brooklyn kitchen. Watching the pizza makers roll out dough using empty wine bottles before shoving them into the roaring brick oven gives off that warm, "Nonna's kitchen" charm. You want to love it. Then the food arrives, and the illusion shatters. Our server gave us the bare minimum rundown: "We have pizza, calzones, and tonight's special pasta." Zero detail, zero enthusiasm. We ordered the pizza and the calzone. The pizza was... fine. Completely fine. But calling this the best pizza in New York feels like collective mass delusion. If you've been to L'Industrie or Mama's Too, Lucali isn't even in the same stratosphere. Then came the calzone, which was allegedly stuffed with five cheeses. The server proudly named four, withholding the fifth as a "secret ingredient." A mystery cheese angle might be fun if the calzone blew your mind, but by the time I took a bite, the gimmick just felt tired. It was a perfectly average calzone wrapped in high-end gatekeeping. The grand finale, however, was the absolute kicker. Just under an hour into our meal, after overhearing the hostess realize she'd botched the table rotation, our server came over with an update: they had overbooked and needed our table. Her gracious solution? "You're welcome to pour the rest of your prosecco into your glasses and finish it outside!" The remaining, warm, prosecco that is... Let's recap the math: two hours waiting on a sidewalk at 2 PM, five hours of waiting for the reservation time, warm glasses for cold bubbles, middle-of-the-road pizza, and a boot out the door in under sixty minutes because they messed up their own seating chart. Disgraceful hospitality masked as old-school Brooklyn charm. If you love mediocre food, lukewarm prosecco in burning hot glassware, and being rushed out to the curb, Lucali is waiting for you. As for me, I won't be back.

I was greeted by an angel called Lisa, who was very much giving fairy Godmother of Luigi's pizza. I stumble through my order. I'm confused. I'm asking questions. The whole time Lisa is patient. She's sweet. She's funny. Makes me feel right at home. I asked for one slice of Knicks pizza but I wanted pepperoni on there. They said it didn't come with pepperoni, but the owner was sitting there like "you know what since you asked for it we'll do it for you." It's like I was heaven and was told Ask and you shall receive, we just want you to be happy! Now, I don't know what sort of crack cocaine they put in this Knicks pizza but it had vodka sauce and ricotta, hot honey olive oil and I think a pesto drizzle. Oh my Jesus Christ this was the best pizza I've ever had in my entire life. Savory, a lil sweet, saucy. Lisa was right, don't need ranch for this at all. Also loved the white pie. I'm so sad because I had to leave New York the next day but days later I am still thinking about this pizza. I am still thinking about sweet Lisa and just how warm and welcomed I was in the few minutes I spent in this restaurant. I'm still thinking about how delicious this slice was!!! I cannot recommend enough, 10 out of 10 you won't regret it. Tell Lisa the girl who asked for ranch and she responded "that's sacrilegious"sent you. I told Lisa I'd leave a good review and she said "we don't care about no reviews we care about getting you fed". Enough said!

I went in with extremely high expectations after seeing Barstool give it a 9.3, which is an incredibly high score. In my opinion, Dave Portnoy has a particular style of pizza that he prefers, and that definitely influences his ratings. Personally, I would not rate this pizza anywhere near a 9.3, especially considering how many great pizza options there are in Brooklyn. That being said, it is still a good slice and worth trying. I just don't think it quite lives up to the hype or the exceptionally high rating it has received.

Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We ordered a glass of wine, a beer, an arugula salad, and our main food order. Everything started out fine, and the salad came without a problem. But then we waited. And waited. About 30 minutes after we had ordered, I asked our waiter where our food was. He apologized and admitted that he had forgotten to put the order in. By that point, we had already watched other tables receive their food, including people who had arrived well after us. We continued waiting, and after roughly 40 minutes or more, our food still had not arrived. At that point, the dining experience was already ruined and we decided to leave. Ironically, just as we were getting ready to go, the food finally started coming out. I told them we no longer wanted it. The waiter did apologize again and offered us a pizza to take with us, which I assume was complimentary, but by then we were simply ready to leave. Even paying the bill became unnecessarily drawn out. We were charged the full amount for the salad, beer, and wine. I sat with a $50 bill ready to pay, was handed the check, and then ended up standing around for another five minutes waiting for someone to actually take the money. There was no apology from the person handling the payment. I understand that mistakes happen, and I appreciated that our waiter admitted he had forgotten to place the order. But when a restaurant makes that kind of mistake, the recovery matters. After waiting that long, watching later-arriving customers get served, and then having difficulty simply paying and leaving, an apology and a pizza at the very end didn't really fix the experience. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I can't say the service lived up to the restaurant's reputation.

    Brooklyn DOP is a prime example of what happens when a pandemic lockdown, a dough obsession, and an…read moreinability to sit still all collide. We visited as a stop on Scott's Pizza Bus Tour, which meant we were actively evaluating it against some of the best pizza in the city. Evaluating pizza on a tour is tricky because excellence becomes relative when you are eating multiple high-end pies in a single afternoon. According to Scott, Brooklyn DOP began in founder Thomas Ardito's apartment during the 2020 lockdowns. With his primary work on pause, he started baking pizza and selling pies through Instagram to pay his rent. People kept ordering. His friend Jason D'Amelio joined the effort, and what started as an apartment project turned into pop-ups and eventually a brick-and-mortar shop on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. That is a considerably more compelling origin story than a corporate franchise business plan. The setup in Park Slope includes a quiet back courtyard, which offered a comfortable spot for our group to sit, eat, and recover between stops. It feels relaxed and distinctly Brooklyn without trying too hard to remind you where you are. The pizza itself is very good. The crust strikes a proper balance between a crisp bottom and a chewy interior. The toppings are handled with care, from the crushed tomatoes to the fresh mozzarella. This is dough crafted by people who take fermentation seriously rather than relying on pre-packaged shortcuts. On its own merits, the pizza is a solid 4.5 stars. Unfortunately for Brooklyn DOP, it was competing on a tour against places operating on another plane. It is an excellent pie, but it was not the single slice that caused the entire tour to fall silent in collective awe. Still, that is an aggressive standard to hold against any local shop. Brooklyn DOP offers a great courtyard, a serious approach to dough, and a standout product. Landing just shy of five stars says far more about the sheer volume of elite pizza we ate that day than it does about the shop itself. Four stars. And if you are not spending the afternoon riding around New York with Scott Wiener eating pizza at some of the finest pizza joints the 5 boroughs have to offer, you can probably bump that half-star back up.
