    Cheese pizza
    Ashley M.

    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!

    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

    Meat Lovers - Grandma Pie
    Kristine L.

    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.

    Sandwiches are huge and tasty - top ingredients and always split one as it's just too big for the average person - Please make sure to include extra pickles as they are so delicious

    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!

    We enjoyed the pizza so much we went back twice !! The slices were huge and flavorful !!! $5.50 a slice !!! The guy at the counter (didn't get his name) was super friendly and a hard worker .

    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.

    Bada Bing Sandwich
    Jason V.

    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.

    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.

    Spicy sausage DEC2025
    Franklin M.

    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.

    The Honey Deniro Pie
    Liza G.

    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.

    The Reuben Sandwich
    Cassidy I.

    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.

    Our new go-to in Pasadena! Brooklyn Square is perfect for a family dinner. The specialty pies are top-tier, and the sandwiches are so generously sized you might need a box. Great service and a very clean, welcoming space.

    So this thing is huge.

    I was introduced to Prince Street Pizza (PSP) through a work pizza party. OMG, after my very first…read moredelicious bite, I had to know where the pizza came from. I have never heard of PSP in Pasadena until now. I can't unknow it because their pizza is the BEST! I had to pay them a visit so here I am on a weekday. They had a good crowd of customers who had already ordered. I got lucky as I was the only person in line. I knew exactly which slices I wanted... one Vegan Square and one The Fancy Prince. I was also curious about the Green Machine. All other pizza flavors look so enticing, too. Kai, the lady who helped me with my order, was super friendly and hospitable. She offered me the Green Machine on the house so I can try it. Now that is a big beautiful welcome. Thank you so much Kai for the green treat! All 3 slices were SO DIVINE! Vegan Square has a thick, crispy Sicilian-style crust with creamy vegan cheese and their signature sweet marinara sauce... SO YUMMY! The Fancy Prince comes with a blend of fresh mozzarella, shredded mozzarella, ricotta, Pecorino Romano, and fresh garlic... this is my ABSOLUTE favorite! If you like savory, pesto-based vegetarian pizza topped with fresh mushrooms, garlic, smoked mozzarella, whipped ricotta, and Pecorino Romano, you must try the Green Machine... SO SAVORY! Please note each slice ranges from $6+ and up. As for the whole pie, it's around $30 to $40+ depending on flavor. Their specialty is PIZZA by the slice or pie, but they do have limited salads, sides, desserts, and drinks as well. Highly recommend this pizza joint! I'm coming back to try all their other pizza flavors slice by slice. I can't wait! See you here.

The charred breadcrumb topping added the perfect crunch, and the portion size was ideal for two adults. It had that perfect cheese pull--and then some. 5/5 - Pepperoni Pizza (with added sausage) The pizza was excellent. I loved that we could add sausage, and the crust was amazingly light. My partner likes dipping pizza in ranch, and the crust (especially the edge) was perfect for that. If you're not a fan of overly saucy pizza, this is definitely for you--the sauce doesn't overpower the sausage or pepperoni. The cheese was evenly distributed, so every bite felt balanced. 3/5 - Broccolini The broccolini was just okay. I liked the char and the slight smoky flavor, along with the hint of lemon and cheese on top. However, I wish it had been blanched a bit more, as it was crunchier than I prefer. The tops were slightly over-charred for my taste, and the texture didn't quite come together. You order before being seated, which is a bit different, and then it's open seating--bar seats, booths, or tables depending on your preference. We chose a corner booth since there was a birthday party in the center of the restaurant. The space can comfortably accommodate groups of 5-10 people. One thing to note (not the restaurant's fault) is that there were children running around quite a bit, which made it feel a little chaotic at times. Since there aren't any activities or designated areas for kids, it would be nice if parents were a bit more mindful so everyone can enjoy their dining experience. The servers were extremely nice and attentive, especially when it came to refilling drinks. You may need to check in with them for things like to-go boxes, but overall the service was solid. Overall, I would come back again.

When you enter The establishment you are immediately aware of the great aromas coming from the kitchen. After walking through some tables and chairs, I was greeted at the counter by a friendly hello and 'how can I help you?' I asked a number of questions concerning the menu. I knew there was pizza but I wanted to know more about their sandwiches and salads. I found out that they do have daily / weekly specials that are a great value. I decided to order a special small Italian sausage pizza and an order of six nude chicken wings with ranch dip on the side. I sat down and waited for the order to be completed. There were a few people at some tables finishing up their lunch. While I was there the phone was constantly ringing with takeout orders. The walls had simple decorations that created a nice ambiance. When my order was called, I was given instructions on how to carry the bag as to not disturb the toppings and cheese on the pizza. As I walked, the smell of the fresh pizza and wings was enticing. The wings were just as I ordered. I enjoyed that they have not been overcooked. The wings were tender and moist. The ranch dressing dipping sauce was a great choice. I look forward to trying some of their other homemade sauces. The Italian Sausage Pizza was cooked just the way I like it. The crust had a nice crisp bottom and great flavor. The toppings of olive and onion were a perfect combination with the Italian sausage. I was happy that I ordered the small size rather than the mini so that I could enjoy some cold pizza the next day. Great flavor even on day two. On another trip I ordered the Italian Grinder Sandwich and a large Antipasto Salad. The salad was full of flavor and fresh vegetables and meats. The sandwich was huge. More ingredients than I expected with a great Italian flavor, the bread was incredible as well. I tried the sandwich both cold and hot and both ways the flavor was the star of this sandwich. I look forward to coming back and enjoying some of the other items on their menu. Fresh pastas are next on my list of things to try. I anticipate that whatever I order will be exceptional!
