    Pepperoni square (with hot honey), plain slice, black/white cookie.
    Stevenson S.

    I constantly look for good pizzerias or slice shops around the 562 area, as they are few and far between. I found out about this place perusing Yelp. Last night, I decided to give it a try. With a name like "Brooklyn Square", you best believe my expectations are high. I go to NYC twice a year and have had the best of the best there. I don't necessarily expect it to stack up against the best there, but if it does a decent enough job, I'll be satisfied. I ended up ordering a plain slice (cheese), as that's the standard, and a pepperoni Square (I had to get a Square, right?). What I liked about this pizzeria is that it uses Grande mozzarella. That's the cream of crop when it comes to mozz. Already, they're on the right path. I also really liked the decor of this pizza shop. It gives off NYC vibes and I love that. It's in an unassuming area, right next to a Chinese take-out spot. If that doesn't remind me of Brooklyn and NYC, I'm not sure what does. The pepperoni square was decent. The part I enjoyed the most was the sauce. It was thick and a little sweet. What I wasn't a huge fan of was their hot honey baked into the pizza. It was overpowering and didn't let the other ingredients shine as much. When I ordered this slice, I didn't realize it had hot honey in it. I, personally, think hot honey is overrated on pizza. I wish they had a savory version of this slice. I would've enjoyed that one much better. This slice reminded me of a place in NYC called "Village Square Pizza", and that's a compliment. I also enjoyed the cheese slice. The basil baked into the cheese was a good addition. I prefer a thinner foundation but that's just preference. My one critique of the cheese slice was how thin and small the actual crust (edge of the pizza) was. It was almost hidden. I enjoy eating the crust as it's the part of the pizza that really shows off how good your dough is. Unfortunately, it just tasted like hard bread. If Brooklyn Square really wants to take their pizza to the next level, they should consider making a thicker, more airy crust with a pillowy interior. Aside from that, I'm glad I went here and gave it a try. I'll be going back again to give it another try soon. The garlic knots had my name written all over them. Lastly, cheers for having the black and white cookie!!

    For context I'm not a big fan of New York style pizza so I ordered different menu items because I still wanted to give this place a try. I ordered a Classic Reuben (hot), they also have the option to get a New York style Reuben which has coleslaw inside rather than sauerkraut. To me it was pretty average, personally it didn't have any wow factor but brownie points for them not being shy with the pastrami. You do get a decent size sandwich for $14 but it was a difficult to eat and quite messy. The garlic knots were good. The mozzarella balls are good. The chicken parm I personally didn't try it myself but I was told that the chicken tasted rubbery. I took a picture for reference.

    Wait wow! Good pizza on this side of town finally!!!!!! As soon as I walked in I could tell this was gonna hit. But when I got my order and took my first bite...the crunch!!!! And the taste. Omg. I got the spicy pepperoni square which wasn't that spicy but it was delicious! I also got the pepperoni ricotta Deniro something like that. It was so good! They both had hot honey I believe but it wasn't overly sweet. This is a solid pizza place. There aren't any seats but they do have a little stand up table, but it might be too tight to eat there as they get busy and the line is in the way. I can't wait to go back and try more. The price is super fair as well. Try it!

    Went here to try their New York style pizza after reading about it and was happy I did it. It's only a takeout and not a very big space, we ordered a large pepperoni. I was able to fold it in half just like a New York style thin crust. I was happy with the taste of the sauce, the texture of the crust; all of it was enjoyable. BTW it was $26. I was so hungry. I didn't remember to take any photos until we were wrapping up the leftovers.

    Pizza slice a little too soft soggy in some sections  $4.75 a slice

    Hmmm so it's not the best pizza I've had in Downey, and the pasta was a little bland. Large portion pasta is a plus. Chicken in the pasta was good. My slice was a little soggy in some sections for some odd reason.

    Tucked inside an unassuming strip mall is this "oh my wow" pizza joint!! Its whole or by the slice so we got 2 deep dish and 2 thin. Truly the best pizza we have had in YEARS!!! Lucky its in my neighborhood!! Restaurant is super clean, adorably adorned and service was fast. I was in and out in a few minutes!! Best pizza ever!

    It's a big box!

    Okay, hear me out. Imagine Costco sized pizza (18" inch for the round pies), but fancier and with a lot more options/customizations! When I heard this pizza spot was opening up a new location in Downey (their original location is in Pasadena), I knew I had to try it while I was in the area. So I decided to pick up one of their pizzas, but I couldn't decide between a few different flavors, luckily they do 1/2 & 1/2 pizzas even with different sauces! I love when pizza places do that and I was so happy that I did do that, because our household was equally split between which one they preferred. We got the Vodka sauce (my personal favorite), and the tomato base (also very good) on the other half. It was heavier than I imagined (but in a good way), the only way I can explain it easily is an upscale Costco pizza, and everyone I know loves Costco pizza, so if you're in that boat and want something more elevated, than this if for you. The service was very fast, they had the pizza ready a couple minutes before this sated time, on a Friday night too! The ambiance was charming, but it seemed more like a to-go place. They also have individual slices, but they only have one size pizza. However, they do also offer Square pizzas which are a different size and a little fluffier, I definitely want to come back and try that at some point as well. If you're in the area or passing through and like a good pizza spot, I would definitely recommend giving this a try! There's plenty of parking too l, and full pizzas are usually ready in about 25 to 35 minutes depending on how busy they are.

    I came to this place vesterdav because I saw it on Instagram. I got the regular pepperoni slice, the grandma pepperoni, fried ravioli, and lemon pepper wings. They also gave me some garlic bread. I can say the pizza was really good. The lemon pepper wings were mediocre; they didn't have much flavor besides a peppery taste. The fried ravioli was good, and the garlic bread they gave me had no garlic taste--it just tasted like bread, though I can say the bread was really soft. I will give this place another try. Maybe they had an off day with the wings and bread

    Good pizza spot! They replaced Leslie's Pizzeria, which we really liked! They got rid of one of our favorite pizzas but still have some of the others. The pizza was good, with great flavor on the dough. I wish it would come crispier though. We usually heat it up on our pizza stone in the oven to get it how we like. The wings have good sauces but they are also not very crispy. Still recommend it though! Friendly service. Small place with no where to sit.

    I saw this on my IG page, HAD to go... since eating pizza in NYC killed pizza for me here... so to find a NYC style pizza nearby was just what I had been waiting for. There is no dining in, I mean you could but there is no chairs and it gets very busy from what I saw and you wouldn't be able to stand there eating comfortably , while surrounded by people trying to order or waiting for their order. However, staff al though busy were professional and friendly! It was about a 20-25min wait for my food which I didnt mind at all. Checked out the next door stores meanwhile... and it really did feel like walking in to a NYC pizzeria, with the set up and that smell! Delicious!! Their Margherita pizza was perfect, thin and crispy just how I like it. Bread and cesar salad were good too! Would definitely go back but this time just for a slice.. ordering a entire box was way too much for 2 people! must try place.

    Pepperoni Honey Deniro Pizza Square Pie
    Elissa S.

    Placed an online order for the Pepperoni Honey Deniro Pizza Square Pie (~$40 after taxes). Value - 4/5. Good value but it is on the pricey side. There's a decent sized parking lot for customers. The shop itself is pretty small, no place to sit, just a pick up and go. I got there around 6 pm and it was pretty packed. Pick up took about 10-15 mins after arrival. The online check in process is a bit unorganized due to how crowded and busy it was and it was somewhat difficult to get a staffs members attention. It was my first time trying this place and wasn't sure where to go for online orders since there's no sign indicating. I followed another pick up order who went straight to the back and called for a worker. Interaction with worker was very nice and polite. Service - 3/5. As for the pizza, flavor was great, very sweet. However, i selected "well done - crispy" option, and it didn't come out that way. The middle was doughy, which was disappointing. Despite that, the quality and flavor were strong enough that I'd come back and give it another try. Maybe a different pizza and getting it extra well done next time. Food - 4/5. Very tasty, slightly undercooked center but still enjoyable. Overall 4/5 stars (:

    Great pizza! Great service. Extra crisp crust and good amount of toppings. Prepared and ready fast. Trying the sandwiches next.

    Slice of Pepperoni Hot honey Deniro for $6. Didn't even taste the Hot honey
    Joanna A.

    Went here for the first time and the food was not what I expected, not bueno, very disappointing. Customer service was non existent other than the cashier saying welcome as u walk in. The cashier just looked like she didn't want to be there to be honest. Place is very small, not a sit down restaurant. Pizza slices get reheated as they are ordered, wish I had known. Pizza was very dry and tasted very bland. The most disappointing part was the cheese it was so dry and hard. I could only eat half of it and they also cut the slice in half, never had that done before. I also ordered garlic cheese bread and that was also very disappointing not tasty at all needed more flavor.

    Buffalo chicken slice. Absolutely delicious!

    See all

    I loved the Spanish latte since the coffee was bold and well-rounded without being overly sweet. I…read moreadded the cloud foam on top which added extra creaminess and sweetness. The foam with the custom latte art cost an extra $2 but I think it was worth it, at least for my first time. To be honest, Honey Greens seemed like a gimmicky place since I thought the foam art was all that it was known for, but no, their drink quality was actually good! I got the agave matcha latte for myself, and I enjoyed how rich it tasted and how vibrant it was in color. I also added a cold foam which made it too sweet for me. Next time, I plan on ordering an unsweetened matcha latte and add cold foam as the sweetener. I also tried a sip of the lavender matcha and that was the one thing I didn't like because the lavender overpowered the matcha. It was pretty busy for a Friday afternoon with all the tables filled and a short line formed after I walked in. The workers were all so kind, and it was overall a very inviting place with fun decorations and a myriad of art options for the cold foam.

    Honey Greens has been one of my favorite matcha spots for a while now, so I decided to branch out…read moreand try a few other things on my last visit. I ordered the Coconut Iced Latte with Sweet Cream Cloud Foam through the app -- paid about $8.50. It was too much on the sweet side but honestly, the sweetness was on me since I added the cloud foam, but the drink itself was about a 6/10. My order was ready when I arrived, and the girl who greeted me was genuinely sweet and welcoming. On my way out, their pastry display caught my eye and I went back to grab a Matcha Pistachio Croissant ($7.50). A different person took my order and she seemed a little bothered when I came back to order, which was a bit off-putting. The croissant itself was disappointing -- it didn't taste fresh, and this was only about 30 minutes after opening. For $7.50, I expected a lot more, especially compared to other spots serving matcha pistachio croissants that are both tastier and more affordable. The shop was nice and clean and it has plenty of seating. That said, their matcha is still easily in my top 3 -- that part never disappoints. I'll keep coming back for that, but I'll be skipping the coffee and pastries going forward.
