This is a hidden gem! The cheese pizza reminds me so much of the pizza I bought in NY. The pizza looked good and yummy even after a day. I will try their pasta next time. The app though would not let me place the order unless I select an extra option lime making the pizza extra crispy. read more

Tried this place for the first time and was pleased with the pizza. You can order whole pizzas, as well as slices. I got the (I can't remember the name of it) honey with pepperoni and ricotta square pizza. It was so good. The other style of pizza looked too thin and I was worried it would be too greasy. I also got a small salad and it was very filling and delicious. The service was decent. The worker was able to answer any questions I had. There is NO seating inside so be aware of that. It's a grab and go type in spot. There's a small bar top along the wall that you stand and eat your food at. My coworkers did this as we weren't aware of the no seating. It worked out as there weren't many others who came in during that time or it could've gotten really cramped. Definitely willing to try this place out again. They also have calzones, wings, and sandwiches. read more

I really liked them and their food, but I can't believe how lame they are. Ordered 2 sandwiches for dinner and surprise, only one shows up. No notice given, only a receipt that says REMOVED. When we called and asked why we didn't get a notification or someone reaching out with another option they said "I'm sorry." Literally told them one person doesn't have food to eat and they didn't have anything to say. Horrible customer service.. don't think I will be back. read more

Brooklyn Square - Pizza Near Me - Downey, California

Brooklyn Squares has a monopoly on edible square pizza in Downey. Tried the Spicy Pepperoni Honey Deniro square and it was surprisingly good. When I say surprisingly, I don't mean to intend I figured it'd be bad, just the spice was surprising. If you're like me, millions of places serve things under the label of spicy and in reality, they consider a dash of pepper spicy so you're left with the unfulfilled itch of wanting to ingest something with some actual heat. Glad to announce, the spicy here was actually spicy. Flavorful sauce, good amount of cheese, topped with pepperoni, ricotta and a drizzle of honey, which I'm not a huge fan of this trend, but it ain't bad. It's not enough to ruin everything that's under the drizzle. Especially the crust - it's super yummy! Also tried a regular thin crust slice of the meat lovers pizza - good, greasy, salty, cheesy. Would probably not order again as one square slice was enough food to satisfy my big back. I did notice a lack of vegetarian slices readily available during my visit. Saw a picture of a spinach ricotta slice but they didn't have any during my visit. Wish they also offered a white pie - typically white sauce, cheese and ricotta. Thin slice pizza place staple if you ask me but sadly missing from here. You got the ricotta and cheese! You guys can do it! Spinach ricotta description is more or less the white pie but... spinach on pizza... nah. Service was OK - nothing huge, asked a few questions, got some answers, paid and that's it. Cashier was cool. Saw us struggling with dirty hands and gave us some napkins. I will say the only thing that's really off putting about the place is how uncomfortable the inside is. Gets cramped - fast - nowhere to sit, just a bar lined up at the wall for standing and eating but if there's even one other group in there, you're squeezed in and it's kind of uncomfortable to eat massive slices of pizza that way. It seemed to be more of a grab and go, which was expected, but a pizza by the slice place also offers some expectation that I'll be able to eat a slice at the establishment and it just wasn't really built for that. Bar isn't wide enough to even place your pizza box on it, hangs off. I don't recall if we were asked if we were dining in or taking to go, so maybe that was our fault! Had we said, dining in, maybe would've gotten our individual slices on our own plates but it didn't feel like that was an option - I'll ask next time and confirm! Price is honestly pretty reasonable - for 3 people, I paid $32. Got 3 squares, and 2 thin slices so almost a full pizza. Priced at around $10/person is great and appreciated - times are tough. Location is OK, small plaza so good amount of parking, but also pretty busy, just need to be aware of your surroundings a bit. Overall, was a good enough experience to want to come back! May I request a version of the white pie... but on the square pizza? Just a suggestion... for me 'cause I matter for some reason... please? Anyway, thanks for having us! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Walked in twice, and to my surprise both times I received the most horrible customer service. I have never tried the food, but based on these first 2 impressions, i don't plan on coming back. If the food is great congratulations! But you should try investing in some kind of customer service seminar for your business, thanks! read more

After a graduation ceremony and a whole lot of waiting around, we were starving and trying to figure out where to eat. I remembered seeing a TikTok about a pizza spot in Downey called Brooklyn Square, so we decided to give it a try. First thing to know -- this is definitely more of a grab-a-slice-and-go type of place. There's basically no seating, so don't expect a sit-down restaurant experience. You pretty much order, stand around for a bit, and take your food home or eat at the little bar area.That being said, the pizza was delicious. The black-and-white decor is giving cool and while we were there, people kept walking in nonstop, so it's clearly a popular spot. I ordered the grandma's slice with ricotta honey loaded sauce from a deep dish square, seriously good. They also have garlic, cheese, chili flakes, and extras at the bar so you can load your pizza up exactly how you like it.Convenience-wise, it's not the easiest place if you're looking to relax and dine in, but the food definitely makes up for it. Five stars from me -- worth the stop if you're craving good pizza in Downey. read more

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. read more

Came here for the first time on Thursday and was back there on Sunday! I love their pizza. We tried the hot honey square pizza and the New York pepperoni. They were both delicious. Tasted fresh and made with love. The New York style crust is thin but has some bite to it. My husband's favorite was the square honey pizza. It had a ticket crust, nice crunch. toppings were so tasty! the little dollop of cheese on top was the bomb! Loving this new place and glad to finally have a close pizza place I love, I usually drive to Long Beach! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Fhuggedaboudit!!! Hands down the BEST New York style pizza in this neck of the woods! I grew up with Barro's and Downey Pizza Company! Both great. Totally different than New York style, which I am partial to- especially Brooklyn style. Thin crispy crust, big slices. My Mom is not a fan of pizza, but she loves this place. The Spinach and Ricotta is Amazing! Sadly, they didn't have it last time. Boo! I tried the square slice last time. So good! The crust was crispy and buttery. The sandwiches are next on my list to try. Service is good, quick and efficient. I wish there was someone there who could explain the intricacies of Brooklyn pizza. I gave it 4 stars, because there is nowhere to sit! I wish they had those high table tops outside like they do at Joe's pizza in Greenwich Village. The to go boxes are awesome! I am sold on this spot. Definitely check it out if you are in Downey read more

So happy Brooklyn Square opened up in Downey! It's tucked into a small shopping center on Imperial Hwy, but don't let the location fool you -- this place is a total gem. The pizza is incredibly good. You can taste how fresh the ingredients are, and the prices are honestly kind of shocking for the quality -- super reasonable. I tried the pasta too and it was amazing. Huge portions, rich flavor, and definitely something you can split or take home for leftovers. They really don't skimp on anything. I'm grateful it's so close to home and that I got to experience it before it becomes viral and packed -- because trust me, once people discover it, it's going to blow up. Unfortunately, I devoured my food before taking any pics but just trust me! Highly recommend giving it a try! read more

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. read more

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 (: read more

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. read more

Saw a lot of social media marketing going back to when the Pasadena location first opened never had a chance to go to the original. I was in the area and said why not? I've been pretty obsessed with pizza. The last five years I've spent trying different spots around LA and OC and my pallet has definitely upgraded. I can't really eat Domino's or Pizza Hut anymore. I had a slice of pepperoni New York style and a Sicilian style De Niro. The De Niro was a four out of five pizza delicious I love the crusted edges the burrata or some sort of fancy cheese on top of the mozzarella and then the pepperoni cups are always awesome so they did a good job there. I would actually come back to order a full version of that fresh because it's almost guaranteed to be a five out of five pie. Unfortunately, The thin sliced pepperoni was mid at best. Nothing special about it, barely a tier above Domino's and Costco. I wouldn't spend my money on it again, stick to the square pies. read more

So I finally came to this place to try their pizza. Ordered at the restaurant and took about 15 minutes. They were a bit busy (during graduation week). Parking is not bad.

Ok look. In Downey there is a pizza on every corner. Some are god, most are forgettable - this is not! Look I am one to normally say "keep it our secret"! Downey we gotta blow this one up. They need to survive and with the crazy competitive pizza market we need to help them stand out. The Brooklyn pepperoni is solid - New York style with some serious flop! But still good. Next time will ask for extra crispy and it will be perfect. Grandma's Square is life changing. Solid sauce and amazing pepperoni. (Different - thicker than Brooklyn). For all my NorCal people this is HELLA GOOD! Crust on both pizza had great flavor and well worth the trip! Also added an antipasto salad. Great choice of meats and lettuce. Not too much or too little. Flavorful Italian dressing that pared incredibly well. So Yelp Foodies - spread the word....Brooklyn Square is the pizza!! Downey Pizza Company/Pina's competition has arrived and they are on the other side of town! read more
