For me to give a pizza place 5 stars it has to be good on all aspects. This place exceeded all my expectations and deserves 5 stars! I wanted to treat my husband to lunch for Father's day, and he had this place bookmarked and has been wanting to try it, so today was the day. This place is located in a strip mall, and has ample seating. They were moderately busy and only had two guys waiting tables, that did not stop the amazing service we received from our server Brian. After reviewing the menu, we decided on the 6 piece garlic knots as an appetizer, and I ordered the bowtie pasta with pesto sauce and my husband ordered a 14" bruschetta pizza. It wasn't long after ordering that our garlic knots came out. They were smothered with ooey gooey mozzarella cheese and were very good. Some of the best! I wasn't even done eating my last knots when my huge bowl of pasta came out, the pasta was cooked perfect al dente and you could clearly tell that the pesto sauce was homemade. My husband snuck a couple of bites and was impressed, as was I. I couldn't finish the whole bowl, so I brought it home and can't wait to have it again for supper. My husband's pizza came out just after my food, and I took a piece and it was so good, hot and flavorful. The crust was crispy and complemented the toppings perfectly. I found the prices to be reasonable, our bill before the tip was under $50! Not too shabby, as I would have paid more for the amazing food and service we received here. We were glad to finally try this place, and not only was our server Brian top notch with his witty comments and engaging personality, but the place was clean and it felt like a family owned place would be. We can't wait to go back again for more pizza! read more

Moving to Gilbert we struggled for a while to find an Italian restaurant that was actually truly authentic. My husband has allergies to soy and canola oil and we were looking for a place that used olive oil. Brooklyn V's is very authentic! Their pizzas, sauce, pasta dishes are so good! They have generous portions and use a nice amount of real cheese on their pizzas! They also have a gluten free pizza option, which is helpful for me. My only request would be that they add the option for a gluten free pasta for their homemade pasta dishes. read more

This is THE restaurant to go for authentic Italian food and vibes! My husband took me on a lunch date and our waiter Vinnie was so kind making sure we had everything we needed, we didn't have to ask for anything because he already had thought of it! We got their Chicken Bruschetta Pizza and their Baked Ziti and shared it was perfect and we have a ton of left overs that we are so excited to eat later. We decided we couldn't leave without trying their cannolis and homemade cheesecake that was banana crème but they have a variety and we heard Vito makes different kinds all the time! Did I mention Vinnie got us to-go drinks as well? We are so excited to come back and make this a regular spot, the hospitality was just amazing! read more

Was looking for Italian and Brooklyn V's popped up. Located in a small strip mall it's not much to look at from the outside. Inside is super casual booth seating that was packed. Pizza being tossed back in the kitchen, take out orders being picked up--it was hopping and felt like New York. I liked it immediately. We were hungry and ordered garlic twists, chicken pesto pizza, a Stromboli, stuffed shells and the spaghetti with sausage and peppers. Everything was so good! Had way too much and could have skipped the twists. Also grabbed cannoli and a slice of cheese cake Pizza crust and sauce were really good. Would try a different combo next time. Shells were tender and flavorful. Spaghetti, sausage and peppers were so good. I barely put a dent in it but left with a bunch of leftovers. All agreed the Stromboli was the best pick of the night--packed with meats and cheese with a bright marinara for dipping. Yum. The desserts were good but probably could have skipped the chocolate sauce. Best of all what the great service from Kyle - took care of all of our requests for extra napkins and sauce and even threw in an extra cannoli so we could all have one (an order is three, he gave us a fourth). Will definitely go back. read more

Brooklyn V's is the bomb! My husband and I went In dinner on Wednesday night and ordered it via Door Dash on Saturday because we just couldn't get enough! The Stromboli was absolutely amazing! Pizza was excellent! Wish I knew what they did differently about their crust, it's like so chewy soft and crunchy at the same time. The Caesar salad came on the most ice cold plate and the dressing was so good, I bet it's homemade and the lettuce was crisp and crunchy. We finished our dinner with some choc chip cannolis to go. Once we had room we scarfed them down and they are perfection! read more

The first two times I had Brooklyn V's I was blown away. I thought it was soo good but each time I've gone back it hasn't been the same since that very first time I tried it. Lately our pizza seems super greasy and the crust is so tough. I hate to say it but tastes like roller rink pizza. We absolutely loved the fried jalapeño ravioli the first time we had it but multiple times we've gotten it they are over cooked and inedible. They always forget the sauce sides like pizza sauce for the fried ravioli or ranch for our salad. I've given them a shot so many times but it's too inconsistent. The last 5 times we've gotten take out I've been really disappointed. read more

2 1/2 Star Rating: The Toppings And Bread Are Amazing!!! But the pizza itself is so wet!!! As if if they just water down the sauce to much or something. The flavor isn't bad like I said, but if you want pizza that doesn't fall apart and isn't paper thin! I wouldn't recommend this particular spot if you don't like "wet" pizza. read more

Pizza was an absolute disappointment. Whom ever makes the dough needs (no pun intended) to be retrained. I could shingle a house with this stuff. This quite possibly could be the worst pizza we have ever had. Granted it has been a few years since we ordered from here. Same reason as the last time we dined in but chalked it up to new restraunt blues. (Yes it has been that long since we spent money here.) It really is a shame. I really wanted to recommend this joint. Will not be buying here again. read more

Went here for the first time the other night after it was recommended by my coworker. All locations are a bit out of the way for me, but my husband and I decided to venture out just because my coworker made it sound so darn good! Well, we were not disappointed I'll tell you that much! When we first walked in I was a little surprised by how small the place was. But, staff was super friendly. We loved our waiter, Vinnie. He made sure we were happy and even stopped to genuinely chat with us in between checking in on our dining experience. We ordered the deep fried jalapeño ravioli to start, then ordered a 1/2 white pizza, 1/2 bbq bacon chicken pizza. The pizza was delicious. White pizza, although without sauce, was so light and tasty, and the bbq bacon chicken was loaded! Every bite had bacon, bbq, and the ranch that was drizzled on top was not skimped at all! Of course we couldn't stop at an appetizer and pizza. We just HAD to try dessert! We ordered the cannolis as well as an Oreo cheesecake, which we found out from our waiter is made from scratch and they have weekly rotating flavors for the cheesecakes. Both desserts were phenomenal. At the end of our dinner, my husband asked me which food item was my favorite, and I honestly couldn't pick! All of it was delicious!! We can't wait to come back and try more menu items, but I am especially excited to try more of their cheesecake flavors - absolutely delicious cheesecake!! Brooklyn V's may be a new spot for us! read more

Great pizza and other food items. A little pricey, but worth it if you want great NY Bronx style pizza. I got carry out but the inside looked nice with descent decor. The staff were really friendly and the service was speedy. We ordered the white pizza (pizza bianco) and a pepperoni, sausage and meatball (V's 3meat) pizza. The crust was spot on NY style. The sauce and toppings were all fresh and it tasted great. I ding them 1 star for being pretty expensive (over $50 for 2 pizzas). It's now my go to place, for NY style pie. read more

The side Ceaser salad was more than enough and the dressing was fabulous. We also split the fried Calamari, crunchy batter and cooked to perfection.

It was quite heavy on the breading and there was a generous portion of cheese and sauce. We asked if we could substitute a salad in place of the spaghetti that it came with and our server did indicate they offer garlic sautéed spinach or broccoli so we selected the broccoli. She did not inform us that it came at an extra charge, though we would have still been happy to pay it, it's just nice to be informed ahead of time of any additional cost. I definitely recommend the cannolis as the filling was thick and creamy and not overly sweet and the entire shell was dipped in chocolate!

She immediately told us the kitchen would be closing in 10 minutes (we arrived at 7:19 and they close at 8), which already made the experience feel a bit rushed. We ordered a deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza, a Caesar salad, fries, and water. The salad and fries came out quickly and were good, but we waited until 7:52 for the pizza. During that time, several staff members including what seemed to be a manager, were loudly yelling back and forth across the restaurant about staffing and schedules. With no music or TV volume, it was impossible not to hear, and it felt very unprofessional. Meanwhile, our water glasses sat empty. I had to ask three separate times for refills, and the third time I actually had to get up and find our server at the bar, where she was sitting, still discussing the schedule. When the pizza finally arrived, it was delicious. But basic things like Parmesan and pepper weren't offered. I had to flag someone down to ask. And even though we'd just received our food, the lights on the patio were turned off while we were eating, and we were brought a box very quickly, which felt like a not-so-subtle hint to leave. Overall, the food was good, but the customer service and atmosphere really took away from what should have been a nice birthday dinner for my daughter. Very disappointing experience.

My daughter took cheerleading in the same strip mall as Salerno's about 20 years ago. Wow and still…read moregoing strong!! That's when we first ate here. We saw they were from Chicago where we are transplanted from. Also, the name was like Salerno butter cookies. Idk if they are related. Anyway, the amazing food items we enjoyed were the spaghetti and meatballs and chicken Parmesan. To my surprise was the creamy garlic salad dressing!!!! It tasted just like Tonelli's in Northbrook, IL where I grew up (except Salerno's wasn't mint green). Fast forward 2026, WOW, it's been about 5 years since I've been here because we are no longer in the area. I happen to be close by and decided to get some of the creamy garlic dressing and a side of meatballs. As soon I got home, it did not disappoint!! The homemade meatballs smothered in for real marinara sauce and the homemade creamy garlic dressing I put on top of a bed of crispy romaine lettuce with croutons. They had not changed in flavor and quality!! Thank goodness!! The hostess greeted me right away and took my order which was ready in no time at all!! The interior was updated with the casualness the Chicago transplants enjoy. I'll be back sooner than later!

Great pies here, coal fired ovens make for great flavor…read more Had to take dinner to-go. Saturday night and reservations were scarce Much better taste hot out of the oven but still tasty to-go

I've been here before and it was good, but the service this time was terrible. I was getting lunch…read morewith my mom, and we got there right when they opened. I don't know the server's name, but it was a guy with black hair and a little facial hair. You'd think since we were the first customers, the food would come out pretty quick, but it took almost 40 minutes. It doesn't take that long to make a 12-inch pizza and a chicken salad. When my pizza finally came out, it was barely hot. Then about 5 minutes later, the chicken salad came. Like, really? Took 40 minutes to make a small salad. I wouldn't have minded the wait as much if the service was good, but it wasn't. The server barely checked on us, and I had to signal him just to get refills. After we finished eating, we had to wait almost another 20 minutes for the check because our table was getting ignored and I had to signal him again The food is decent, but the service this time was terrible.

CRUST... I mean, with a name like that, the crust had better be good, right?! Well, I'm happy to…read morereport they absolutely understand what's up -- and they even offer a gluten-free crust that is seriously next level! We were lucky enough to be seated with Kailey, who also happens to be GF, which made the whole ordering experience so easy and fun. It's always such a treat when someone gets it and can help guide you through the menu! To start, we shared the bacon-wrapped shrimp as an appetizer (I skipped the bread, but my husband happily took care of that part ). The shrimp were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor -- such a yummy way to kick things off! For my main, I ordered Nicky's Burrata Pizza with the GF crust and holy smokes... this pizza was incredible! It had the perfect little kick of spice, the burrata was dreamy, and the crust? PHENOMENAL. Like truly -- you would never guess it was gluten-free. Total pizza bliss! And because we clearly have zero self-control around good pizza, we were way too full to tackle dessert there... so we took the GF Chocolate Peanut Butter Torte home to enjoy later. Let me just say... WOW. Ooey, gooey, rich, chocolatey perfection. And once again, you'd never know it was GF! All in all, this place was a huge win for the gluten-free crowd. Amazing food, great service, and a crust that absolutely lives up to the name!

We made a 6 PM indoor reservation by phone, and the hostess who took it was very kind and…read moreprofessional, which made us look forward to returning. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to that first impression. We were seated outside despite reserving inside, and after dealing with several flies around our food, we had to request multiple times before finally be moved indoors - carrying most plates ourselves. Once inside, service felt disorganized. Salads arrived while appetizer plates were still on the table, and several dishes came out cold. Calamari was okay, garlic knots okay. I'd skip the bacon wrapped shrimp. My short rib was extremely tough and cold, so I sent it back. My house salad was not dressed properly and scarce of veg. My son's Caesar salad arrived without chicken, and my other son's pizza also came out cold and in the shape of a pizza peel. Not sure if this is meant to be creative but it does cut down on quality of pizza and taste. Also costs the establishment less. The manager offered a slice of pizza - we accepted. It arrived much later and went uneaten, due to it being a slice of focaccia with melted cheese on top and 2 slices of pepperoni. yet we were initially charged $10 for it (it was removed when we asked). Our server was kind and apologetic throughout, but overall there seemed to be little coordination between staff and kitchen, and no manager checked in despite multiple issues.

They had a little nook of tables that was perfect and I kept in the back of my mind for any events that I may need a location for. Enter Keri's Baby Shower - Slice, Slice Baby! What a perfect low key baby shower idea, and an amazing location where we hosted on their patio for a relaxing event. The pizza always has an exceptional cheese pull, and delicious. Loved the set up on the table for a grab a plate and add some delicious items (pizza, wings, and salad) with drinks/cups on another table. I can see this set up working for graduations as that season is coming up, baby showers, birthday parties, or even just a date night sitting in one of their booths. If you are in the area to this location or one of their others, definitely check out Vero Chicago Pizza!
