Soooo good, cant go wrong with any of the pies! I like that they have a good mix of square and round pizzas. I haven't had their sandwiches, but I'd love to come back to try. They're quick with toasting your slices and bringing food right to your table. FYI - they're on InKind app! read more

Brooklyn Square - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

I'm always down to try some new pizza spots and Brooklyn Square satisfied my pizza craving! Huge plus for selling ready made slices. It's always great to see pizza spots offering slices to go or slices to enjoy inside. The location on Fair Oaks in the busy streets of Old Town Pasadena. Parking garages are all nearby or street parking around the building. The location has a number of tables and TVs to enjoy the games. The staff here were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. There were an abundance of ready made slices to select. Per the staff, they have vegan cheese options for whole pizzas, but none for ready made slices. Just as an FYI. They also offer a number of sandwiches as well. The number of items is vast and of great variety. Now for the pizza. The selection was a mix NY slices and square slices. I was looking for some to go. So I decided on the squares cause I love those slices! I went with Pepperoni Grandma and a Pepperoni Honey DeNiro. The staff will heat it up for you on the oven and even cut slices in half to enjoy them. I loved the flavors and the crisp edges. It had a great crunch in each bite and taste was solid. My favorite of the too was the Pepperoni Honey DeNiro. The hot honey on this slice made this option stand out to me. The mix of sweet and savory paired with heat is my kind of combo of flavor. :) I would come back again if I'm craving pizza and would think of the trying a sandwich too in the future because their menu looked good. Thanks, Brooklyn Square! ( ^_^)b read more

Came by the other day craving pizza and wanted to try something new. They have a good selection of slices and square pies, plus some sandwiches. I got a square Honey Dinero and a slice of margherita. The square was decent, cheesy with crispy edges, but I couldn't really taste much of the honey and it felt a little dry, could've used more sauce. The margherita slice was the winner for me. Crispy edges, gooey cheese, and a good balance of sauce. Next time I'd probably stick with the slices over the squares. I'm also curious to try their sandwiches since they use Boar's Head meats which is usually good quality. Overall a good spot if you're looking to switch it up. read more

Brooklyn Square - The Honey Deniro Pie , tomato garlic pie - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

4.5 stars Came last night around 8pm so there wasn't many single slice options available which was unfortunate. Single slice range from $5-6 & were huge! I love the ambiance, they have great music & they play sports on their large tv so it's a good vibe. Our favorite pizzas were the plain cheese pizza & the honey deniro pizza! Also tried the pepperoni & chicken bbq. The black & white cookie wasn't great but I've always wanted to try one. Total $30 with tip The round pizza slices have a crunchy bottom & thin crust. The square pizza slices have a crunchy bottom & fluffy center. Parking in Pasadena just isn't as convenient, have to park down the street at the meter but not too bad since it wasn't busy read more

Was in the area and needed some lunch. Walked down the street to see the options we had and I loved how the pizza looked from here! I haven't had pizza in a while and love the idea of pizza by the slice. We got a pizza and salad to share! Greek salad 10/10 and pizza was delicious too 10/10! I would love to comeback when in the area! Most of the parking here is paid street parking or lots. They have a tablet to order your food from. Pretty busy but service is still very quick! read more

I ordered the Meat Lovers grandma for pickup. There's not a good place to park just for pickup, you'd have to find adjacent street parking or park in the structure. I was with my bf so he got out while I waited on the street with emergency lights on. It took awhile and when he came out he said there was nobody around working so it took awhile to get service so that wasn't ideal. As for the pizza itself, thankfully it was still pretty hot by the time we got home. The toppings tasted fresh and they didn't skimp on them. I like a thick Detroit style crust or pan so for me it was delicious. Even my bf who prefers a thinner crust still really liked it. It's a little pricey but in line with these more specialty type of pizza spots. Overall I enjoyed it and could see myself ordering from them again. read more

Brooklyn Square - 1/2 of the BQE - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

We always have to get pizza somewhere when we travel and when we walked by this place we had to check it out. They make pies (both NY & grandma) and sandwiches. They sell by the slice as well and there's always a dozen different options ready to go in the display case. The kid working the counter was great very polite, helpful and personable (great customer service!). We liked it so much we visited two days in a row! We tried a variety of grandma style slices and they all were fantastic! The dough was great it had a good chew and crispy sides and bottom. Good quality cup & char pepperoni and ricotta cheese! read more

Pizza isn't bad, nor is it great. We tried the NY cheese, grandma pizza and the spinach ricotta slices because, in addition to pepperoni, that was all they had available for pizza by the slice. For a place that offers pizza by the slice, that's really not a lot of options, considering their menu for full pizzas is very extensive. Overall the pizza was really lacking. Limited fresh ingredients and almost no flavor. Not a lot of grease, though. For it being called NY pizza, it didn't have that satisfying chewy texture that I remember. Got the 8 piece chicken wings as well, and the chicken meat was really dry. Service was slow. This place gets a lot of food delivery orders so it can be a bit of a wait if there's a lot of orders that came before yours. The only great thing was that a small Mango Cart on tap was $3, which is really unheard of for beer. read more

Brooklyn Square -- A Deep Disappointment Masquerading as New York Pizza Rating: (1/5) Brooklyn Square markets itself with the confidence of a New York-style pizza institution, but my visit revealed a product and experience that fell dramatically short of that promise. Between the lackluster execution and a serious food safety issue, this was one of the most disappointing pizza outings I've had in recent memory. Ambiance - 2/5 The atmosphere was busy and energetic, which initially suggested popularity and strong demand. However, beyond the crowd, there was little about the space that evoked the charm or authenticity of a true New York pizzeria. It felt more commercial than crafted. Authenticity - 1/5 Let's address the core claim: this is not New York-style pizza. The crust lacked the structural integrity and chew you'd expect from a proper slice. It didn't fold correctly, didn't carry that thin-yet-resilient texture, and lacked the subtle char and balance that define authentic NY pizza. It was just simply a very thin pizza. I've had more convincing renditions from major chains. The name sets expectations the kitchen simply does not meet. Flavor - 1/5 Even setting authenticity aside, the pizza itself was unremarkable. The sauce and cheese failed to create any memorable depth of flavor. But what truly ended the experience was biting into a large piece of plastic embedded in the pizza. I physically had to spit it out mid-chew. This is not just a minor flaw -- it's a serious quality control failure. Food safety is non-negotiable. Service - 2/5 The restaurant was busy, which may explain some operational strain, but that cannot excuse foreign objects in food. Regardless of rush volume, quality control should never slip to this degree. Cost - 2/5 Given the quality and the safety lapse, the price point feels unjustified. A high rating and branding can only carry a restaurant so far -- execution must follow. Final Thoughts Brooklyn Square may have built a strong reputation, but based on this visit, it feels overrated and poorly managed. Authenticity was absent, quality was inconsistent, and food safety was compromised. I sincerely hope management takes this seriously -- because no diner should have to worry about biting into plastic while eating a slice of pizza. read more

I was looking for a good Italian sub and came across this place on IG. I ordered the Italian Bada Bing, some fried Ravioli, and a slice of spicy pepperoni pizza. The stand out here was the pizza. It was well balanced, had a crisp crust, and pepperoni were bomb. The ravioli were ok. And that sandwich wasn't great. I think the main issue with the sandwich was the cheese. I love cheese, but in this case it overpowered the sandwich. Every bite all you can taste is the cheese, and it made the sandwich not that enjoyable. I'll definitely come back and try some more pizza, and possibly a different sandwich. This place is in Old Town Pasadena, so you know parking is going to be a headache. read more

Clean quick service great ambience delicious food! I was craving NY pizza and they delivered.

I don't know what they do differently from their pies, but their slices are excellent here. Sometimes the pies come out a little extra doughy, but these slices are the essence of what an east coast slice is. Crispy and thinner undercarriage, no flop, entire slice holds its integrity--all 3 for a little under $16. Honestly, for prices these days, that ain't too bad in my opinion. Service was impeccably fast, per usual, and the options are always great to choose from. Highly recommend if you're in the area and are looking for a quality NY style pizza. read more

I was in the mood for some pizza but didn't need a whole pizza because I was by myself. Luckily they sell by the slice and I picked out the square cut Spicy Sausage and it cost around 6 bucks. The dough is perfectly crispy crunchy and that Spicy was hot and it burned my mouth. It was delicious and I was able to watch the Rams vs Falcons football game on the big television. read more

This is more of a 3.5 and I may upgrade it after visiting in person, as I've only gotten delivery. I'm from the northeast and have tasted a lot of NYC pizza, and theirs is pretty good! I like their unique combinations like the honey deniro. However, I would actually recommend their sandwiches over the pizza. They have some really tasty combinations and you can also make your own. They are PACKED with fillings so they're a good value for the money, which is rare nowadays! I especially like their honey mustard on anything. Usually they last for two meals for me, especially with some chips. read more

DoorDash introduced us to Brooklyn Square and we've become fans, but today was super disappointing. Since we were in the area, we decided to pick up. The app said it would be a 30 minute wait with pick up ready at 7:14pm (no problem). We ordered a build your own square pie, garlic knots, mozzarella sticks, Caesar salad, black & white cookies, and cannolis. We got a call that the cannolis were out, so hopefully we got a refund. The order wasn't ready until 7:45pm and based on warmth, the garlic knots were made last (pizza and mozzarella sticks were cool by pick up). We're reheating food as I write this review. It's making me rethink takeout if they can't manage timing to keep everything warm warm (same experience that we had with DoorDash, but we thought it was the delivery person and not the restaurant). Cookies were a disappointment as well since I thought they were fresh and instead are packaged. The food is good and the restaurant is cute, but be prepared to reheat food for takeout. read more

This is a regular place we get takeout from. I've tried their regular cheese pizza, but the one we always go back to is The Honey Deniro. The slices are huge, as you can see from my photo which is half a slice. The pizza is a little thicker, but the flavors are something special. I always get extra honey, it just pairs so well with the sauce and cheese. The people who work here are fantastic too. They know our order and how we like it (extra honey) without us having to ask. We have only gotten takeout, but they do have some tables if you want to dine in. We probably order this pizza more than any other because it's always perfect and there are always leftovers. read more

Brooklyn Square is extremely close to the Schoolhouse Parking Garage which has a very low parking fee ($1-3). The sandwiches were enormous! I was very hungry after walking around the Pasadena Chalk Festival and half a sandwich and a bag of chips was more than enough. I took the rest to go! This is a counter service restaurant. Staff are a little blunt, but were helpful, which was all I needed. The restroom is on the left side of the registers, it's a little hard to see. read more

Huge sandwich wasn't anything special. It was so huge and the bread a little hard that it hurt the roof of my mouth. It's hard to bite into it and everything comes out the side. The ingredients are fresh. I just don't find this to be something that I would crave when thinking about a deli sandwich. I tried the deniro pizza. I think it was misplabled as I thought I was getting pepperoni on it. A previous review mentioned a lot of bread or dough in the pizza. I would have to agree. It is flavorful but too much bread. I would rate this place overall 6-7/10. The service was great. read more

Brooklyn Square has fulfilled all my wildest pizza and sandwich dreams. We ordered a slice of the Honey Deniro and the Mr. Chipotle Chicken sandwich. I'm a huge advocate for ricotta on pizza, and Brooklyn Square delivered. The true star was our sandwich though. Lemme tell ya... the combination of chipotle chicken with honey mustard, crunchy vegetables, pickles and avocado on squaw bread no less?!? Absolute heaven. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. Service was friendly and quick. They brought our order out to our table. There are big TVs that were showing different football games on each of them. So yes, a well-known competing square pizza place is just a few blocks away, but please do yourself a favor and try Brooklyn Square! read more

Brooklyn Squares in Pasadena is hands down one of the best pizza spots around. The pizza is incredible, perfectly cooked with great flavor and quality ingredients in every bite. Their slice options are stacked, and you really can't go wrong, but the Buffalo + Ranch Chicken and the BBQ Chicken slices are easily the standouts. Both are packed with flavor and cooked just right. And the New York Ruben sandwich deserves its own spotlight. The pastrami is amazing, tender, flavorful, and piled high. It's the kind of sandwich you think about after you leave. If you're in Pasadena and want legit pizza or a killer sandwich, Brooklyn Squares is a must. read more

Hello I ordered delivery DoorDash for Brooklyn square ordered the honey dinero with chicken. I have mixed emotions about my pizza because it was soggy. Not good at all.

I'm not sure what went wrong if it was delivery or if it was the pizza from the start. My advice to you is go pick up to ensure you receive the freshest experience possible. read more

I have tried so many pizza spots in California and haven't gotten the push to write a review. I will definitely make an exception today. After my Photoshoot In Pasadena I wanted to take a walk and just explore the surroundings and grab a bite to eat. I passed by this pizza spot and wasn't expecting for me to wake up back home in New York City. Originally from Bronx, New York. One bite I had to try to hug the pizza guy. I felt back home !!! Must try try try and try and you will never see pizza the same again. Can't wait to come back. Thank you for making my taste buds wake back up in the big apple. P.s I asked the nice girl behind the counter to grab me an empty pizza box so I can hang it up in my garage. I hope she reads this. I told you so !!!!! read more

4 states for the food, 5 for the service, and maybe 2 for the limited seating inside. Brooklyn Square offers solid Detroit deep dish with generally interesting flavor combinations. The price per slice is about $6, seems high though slices are big. My favorite was the BBQ Chicken Pizza, robust flavor from both the bbq and ranch sauces, and I personally wanted more chicken and onions. Second favorite was the Pepperoni Honey DeNiro, a nice balance of sweet from honey, salty from pepperoni, creaminess from clumps of ricotta, a nice balance but one that does get slightly messy and sticky. The regular Pepperoni and Spicy Pepperoni are very similar, barely a hint of spice, and they offer jalapeños that can turn the heat up read more

Came here per request of our son's girlfriend for her birthday dinner. Arrived a few minutes before 9 pm, it wasn't busy. Ordered our food: When order was read back, the order was not right. Minor issue. Ordered 2 beers, and the beers were not chilled enough to enjoy. Did not really want to say anything. Part of our order came out (the pasta). Makes sense, doesn't take long to make pasta. It took approximately 25 minutes for the sandwiches after that. A customer who ordered after us received their pizza before us and it was 45 minutes later. If a pizza order was going to take that long we would not have ordered it! Afer we received the pizza, the lady just handed it over and that was that! It's unfortunate I won't go there again cause my pasta was actually tasty! The garlic knots weren't good. The NY reuben was nothing special, that was my husband's order. My husband agrees would not make a trip back here. read more

Pizzq tasted great. Establishment was clean. The service left a lot to be desired. We walked in, very few people seated and it took 30 minutes to get a full pizza. We had to get up to check on it.

Definitely need some coaching and some management to step in. read more

First of all, this is not a criticism of Brooklyn Square. If we could add half stars, I would. First, I was in the mood for authentic "style" and taste of a generic New York pizza. My taste memory is flawed since it's been quite awhile. However, I can remember going to Ray's Pizza on broadway, Joe's, John's on bleaker etc for a slice. It was always the same, very consistent. Not much different from the hundreds of establishments serving Pizza slices. This is what I consider to be plain cheese/tomato sauce New York Pizza. Brooklyn Square is close but not really authentic. I found the crust too thick, and not crispy enough. The flavor was fairly close but not right on. And so the historic ongoing search for real New York style pizza in Southern California goes on. But to finalize this review, it's a reputable pizza parlor. I'm not knocking the place at all. It's just my own search for OG slice. read more

Outstanding food and service. Enjoyed the ambiance and garlic bread. Good for dine in or take out

Giving this a 5 star experience because one, the staff is super nice. The lady in the front who took care of my order made me feel welcome and at home. I came fairly late towards closing and we know how exhausting it is when a last minute customer comes in when closing. But she welcomed me in and wanted me to dine in. It was a very pleasing dining experience, is the Pizza the best? Not in my opinion, but it's enough for me to come back and I prefer it over the nearby competition. It's clean, and the squares is not overly doughy. The pie slicers are great hitters too. Must try on the main strip of old town! read more

This review is for the sandwiches, I've yet tried their pizza (but want to!). There's a good amount of seating here. A bottom section and top section. It's always been a chill vibe each visit. A fun place to have lunch with friends. Staff are nice and helpful. The food arrived at a good time. The Park Slope sandwich was good, very packed with meat. I ended up saving the other half for tomorrow's lunch. I didn't know chips were also included so that was a fun surprise. It definitely paired well with the sandwich. It's worth a visit. I've also had the canzone before and it was also tasty (and big!). read more
