Me: Hi i'd like to order 10-15 pies for saturday. How big are your pies? Fascati: 8 slices Me: Ok, but how big are they? Is it a standard 18" pie or smaller? Fascati: 8 slices Me: Ok great, but how big is a pie? I'd like to know so I know many to order. Fascati: We're pizza men, not carpenders Me: buh bye I'll spend my money elsewhere - where people display basic kindness. read more

Fascati Pizza is simply spectacular. The price was very reasonable - I couldn't believe it! Everything in the menu looked incredible, but I had to go with White Ricotta, it was an incredible meal. I really liked the service as well, they are very courteous and attentive. Fascati Pizza! Try it out. It may be for you too. read more

This is the perfect place to stop and grab a quick slice of pizza! It's the perfect New York slice, perfect cheese/sauce/crust. There are limited staple items on the small menu but every one is great. I had the regular cheese slice and it was so satisfying that I ordered another. Priced just right, this place is not a rip off like most pizzerias around. It's definitely not a sit down restaurant- it's a place for a quick bite. read more

Tried this place and the slice was really good. They use great ingredients and fresh basil which was refreshing to taste. Its right by my school so i like that its away from the traffic but close to enough to the blue line in downtown brooklyn. I would definitely recommend if your looking for a good NY slice. I deducted a star because they kind-of forgot my pizza a little too long so with the thin crust it was quite crunchy. But still one of the best slices I've had around the area. read more

Fascati Pizza - Regular slice - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

CASH ONLY This place makes a pretty serviceable pizza but is nothing special. Unfortunately, there actually are not too many quick take out pizza places in the area. The pizza here is generally a little more thin then I would have liked. The taste of the pizza is pretty good but there is nothing here that is going to have you coming back. Try Front street pizza around the corner for faster service, more seating, and more pizza variety. read more

Fascati Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I usually hate thin crust pizza, but they do it well. It's a small place with little seating. People generally just take out. It's only $2.50 (plain cheese) / $3.25 (white ricotta) per slice and pretty speedy turnaround to get food. Perfect size for folding and nomming. I'd say go for two slices if you're hungry; one if you are not super hungry. When you add toppings, they just put it on a cheese pizza and reheat. So, get either the white ricotta or the plain cheese. read more

Before I get to the review, a complaint: I've been in NYC for four days. It's looked like it was going to rain every day, so I've been hauling around an umbrella. Today, I leave without it and, as I'm carrying my pizza back, it starts to rain. So awesome. Don't worry: the pizza was fine. Anyway, I'm staying in Brooklyn, and had to get some pizza. Fascati was well reviewed here and it's close to the mediocre $400/night hotel I'm at, so i figured I'd give it a shot. I'm glad I did: it's pretty good pizza. The crust is thin, brown on the bottom, and the sauce is great. It took about 10 minutes for a pizza. A small with a salad was $19. And that small could feed three people, easy. But is this the best pizza in the universe? Meh. The pepperoni slices were small, which I like, but the mushrooms were freaky. (Canned or sauteed and then left to sit a while. Everything else looked fresh, so why not the mushrooms?) Worth noting, however, is that some of my local Chicago pizzerias could take a lesson from these guys on how to do a decent garden salad. Yes, it had iceberg in it, but it also had tomatoes, green pepper, onion, cucumbers and what tasted like a fresh, made very recently vinaigrette. Overall, not the end-all-be-all in my pizza universe, but very decent. read more

Fascati Pizza - Small Pepperoni & Mushroom, 6/13/07 - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

How does a Brooklynite, the Wannabe Ramen Snob, a son of a mom, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in California by providence, once impoverished in squalor, find a pizza shop with an iota competence? Definitely not in the West Coast! For the best you have to come to this pizza parlor! In my frustration eating at awful pizza joints, I reminisce of the best pizza from my childhood and I am basing this review on my experience 35 years ago when I frequented Fascati's. This was when the borough was grittier and before Brooklyn became trendy. (If I had a dollar for every ball team these days with a girl named Brooklyn on it...) I went back to Fascati's 5 years ago and they did not change, although the patriarch was no longer there, but fortunately the baton was passed. I checked in with my bro who is still in Brooklyn, and happy to report Fascati's is still strong. You will see them hand twirl and shape the dough. The crust is thin and not burnt. The sauce is tangy. The amount of cheese is right on. No avocado or fufu toppings, since a well made pizza will shine regardless. I read reviews of the slices being pricey now. When I was a boy, they were 75 cents. Though The Wannabe Ramen Snob came from humble beginnings, he got a taste of the American Dream and would be happy to pay $10 a slice! Now if I can only find a Yelper to agree to freeze a Fascati's pie and send it to me in California... read more

Fantastic pizza! We got carryout when we were staying in the area during our vacation to New York, and this was a super meal and super deal. I have to say, however, these pizzas are huge. My family can pack in a lot of pizza, and we normally order two large pies for dinner. When I called to order, I asked about the size of the pizza, and they said it is eight slices. I asked how many inches it was, and they gave me the same answer. I ordered two. Mistake! We had an entire pizza left over. But we enjoyed our dinner (plus breakfast the following day), and it wasn't too expensive. Pizzas were well-made and as tasty as they get. Yum! read more

Fascati Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Was waiting until I went here at least twice before reviewing, and glad I wasn't disappointed either time. After living in NY my entire life I've had fantastic slices and horrible ones, the latter mostly in the past 10 years. There's so many places that make pizza in the city now that are tasteless. And I'm not even talking about the 99 cent pizza places - you get what you expect out of those - I mean the ones that seem like they should be quality (yes, I'm talking about that somehow popular place in DUMBO, among others). Anyway, Fascati, as you can glean from my high amount of stars, is in the fantastic category. The crust isn't too thick (though sometimes that's good) and both the cheese and sauce are placed in perfect combination. I mean seriously, I got off the train a stop early to get a slice. And oh yeah, they're actually affordable at $2.50 per slice. The next time I'll get a special slice and see if that stands up quality wise. If so, you just may see 5 stars from me. read more

The slice at Fascati is a strange beast. Fresh out of the oven, it's a shining example of New York pizza in all its glory. It's when you let the pizza cool down (as what would happen if you ordered a pie) that things get a little weird. The cheese rapidly hardens and becomes the texture of pasta. This new texture is not nearly as enjoyable. If you order a pie to go, I recommend keeping it warm in an oven set to a low temperature as you work on the slices currently on your plates. Another noteworthy aspect of Fascati is its choice of pepperoni. It uses the kind of pepperoni that curls up in the oven. Many brick-oven pizza restaurants use this kind of pepperoni and I was pleasantly surprised to find it on an average neighborhood slice. read more

I used to live in the student housing right up the street. I would eat this pizza at least 2 times a week. They had great Italian sausage and ingredients. I need to go back! read more

It's nothing special I should of had Caesars $6 pie instead. This place pizza taste like I was eating the box with lil sauce since the pizzas were dry. Definitely PT worth my money good to know for next time I'm in the area. They also need to not over price $3.50 for a cheese slice that's crazy. read more

New York City has a reputation throughout the nation for superior pizza. Fascati Pizza is a marked exception to this. Over the 30 years I have lived in Brooklyn Heights, the price has gone steadly up and the quality down. The point it has reached is such that cheap frozen pizza is far better. I would recommend anybody with an appetite for a nice slice save your money and taste buds go across the road and pick up something at the grocers. Or better yet frequent one of the fine restaurants on the block. One last thing the horrible quality of their food is only exceeded by their lack of customer service. DON'T GO THERE! read more

This is the kinda place that doesn't change. I have been eating fresh, tasty pizza there for 14 years. This is the place I think of when I think of NY pizza. You don't go there to sit, though they have a few tables if you want to. You go there to get the awesome pizza and take it home, and enjoy the melty, yummy cheese ... Alright, I can't review anymore. I'm stuck in Washington state till December and it doesn't help me to start salivating over something I can't have. read more

I've been meaning to try Fascati Pizza for almost 8 months, ever since I moved to the Heights. But I love my Front Street DUMBO pizza...so why switch? Well, I finally placed a delivery order over a long holiday weekend...and I am a happy girl! Fascati Pizza is AMAZING! Delivery was fast (under 30 minutes). The crust is crunchy and thin, but not too thin, and very tasty. And the cheese is great, too...perfectly cooked so you get some of those dark cheese spots...love them! Fascati Pizza has some weird hours though...they're closed one day a week, and go on a long August vacation. It's a nice throwback to a family business of the 50s, but I need my pizza 24/7 in NYC. Now I know why they can pick and choose their hours, though...their customers really will come back to them, because the pizza is truly delicious. Though I won't give up on Front Street, I love having two choices for a pizza delivery rotation! read more

Since leaving NYC, my taste in pizza has changed. I guess my standards have been lowered, and I will accept many different things as "pizza". We ordered from Fascati the other night. I am very indifferent about this place. The pie was just OK. Nothing memorable, but nothing I would call bad. I uploaded a picture since without it, I would not be able to write a review. read more

Wandered back to Fascati when I found myself in Brooklyn Heights and was rewarded by the excellence I recalled from years past when I worked in the neighborhood and lived nearby. Just the right mix of sauce to cheese and a crispy crust and not greasy at all. No indoor dining when I visited, but ordering thru the opened front window and eating on the sidewalk felt right. Will definitely return when next in the neighborhood read more

One of the better pizzas I've had in NYC. They don't skim on toppings and charred crispy bottom like the brick oven ones on Cali read more

Fascati Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had high hopes and felt left down. The service was good the crust was good but I just wasn't impressed with the sauce or the cheese or condiments. They seemed to skimp on my pie a bit. It's a good neighborhood pizzeria but I will be going elsewhere only because I was underwhelmed. read more

Fascati Pizza - The billboard of food - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This use to be the best pizza in NYC hands down. It is now the worst. Don't even bother. You will be disappointed.

Forget the Lemmings. The Real Pizza is Here. There are about 50 lemmings waiting in line at Grimaldi's a few blocks north. Let them swoon on a chase for some stories. At Fascati's, you got the real thing. Here it's outstanding cheese and sauce. The cardboard-like crust brings you back. Some may take offense, but if you embrace it you may find love. Opened: 1971 Distinction: Crust. Realness. read more

This is yet another great classic NY slice-joint pizzeria in Brooklyn, and in many ways could serve as a companion to my recent review of Antonio's pizza on Flatbush Ave. Both are classic NYC slice joints in virtually every way. Both have been vital neighborhood assets for roughly half a century at this point. Both of their respective locations are right atop busy Brooklyn subway stops. This doesn't simply enhance the classic New York vibe, but crucially it also greatly increases the odds of you getting a FRESH slice rather than a reheated one. As I have reiterated countless times over the yelp years, you know that I strongly advocate of doing whatever possible to acquire a slice of a pie freshly pulled from the oven, as opposed to one that is reheated after sitting out sometime in the display case. Some say the reheating it with a pleasing crispness, but I would make the argument it is at the expense of flavor, which for whatever reason decrease at least by 1000x during the reheating process. The pie here has a nice salty/creamy consistency with a sauce less sweet then many pies across town. It reminded me of the pie at the UWS's great Sal & Carmines, and that is always a very very good thing. Like I sid the place is classic NYC, particularly the exterior. The combination of the vintage sign of the neighboring Chinese is so picture-perfect, you may feel that you have been transported into a 70s Woody Allen film. Inside the 70s vibe continues with hideously great wood and formica everywhere, showing everyday of its 50 something years. The staff is efficient as it gets and keeps things moving as well as the pies happily fresh. This Neighborhood skews older in most senses of the word and stepping in here in particular gives you the small comfort in the fact that in a city, and a world that is constantly changing in drastic and sometimes incomprehensible ways, that some things, and particularly good things manage to stay the same. read more

Well this little gem in Brooklyn Heights was a total surprise to me! They serve counter service pizza by the slice. My son had the pepperoni and I had sausage. And the sausage they use was sliced Italian sausage! Delicious! I wish we were closer to go have lunch there again tomorrow; that's how good it was! The counter guys were great! I highly recommend! read more

Pizza is fine, but the service is really annoying. My phone was on really low battery and asked if they can help me charge my phone, especially that i was dependent on it at the moment. No help whatsoever, no even a willingness to help. Plus they don't have restroom. read more

It's hard to stand out when you're a pizza shop in Brooklyn, especially in this neighborhood. But Fascati is completely unpretentious, serves up fresh slices, and they're pretty damn good. The square slice was my favorite, but they also do a ricotta slice. They're also the type of place that adds toppings on plain slices before throwing them in the oven, in case that peeves you. read more

Amazing pizza with perfect crust, casual, clean atmosphere. I'd recommend the white ricotta pizza

I definitely recommend Fascati! My husband and I discovered this place 10 months ago and we've been loving it since then! It's pretty far away from where we live, but it's totally worth it. Crispy crust, fresh ingredients, love the sauce too! Our favorites: 1) pepperoni 2) mushrooms and sausage. We've been trying to find a "good" pizza place near us and it's been a big fail. Fascati is by far, our #1! read more

really really really good. old school. no online ordering. cash only. loved the pizza and pasta. will return.

No flavor, Crust taste like paper, cheap cheese! Trash! Way overpriced for that crap smh

Fascati is one of the first places I stopped into when I moved to Brooklyn Heights. And it was a pretty tasty introduction to the neighborhood! The cheese slice at Fascati gives you exactly what you want out of a NY slice -- nothing more, nothing less. Is it super memorable pizza? No, but that's ok. Because at the end of the day when I'm craving a greasy bite of childhood, Fascati does the trick. read more

Did you know neuroscientists could rap? Check it out, yo. I want me some Fascati's Cause they know how to pah-ty Way better than Grimaldi's Dat pizza's never faulty So hot and good and greasy and cheese that's supa cheesy Yo, throw some olives on my pie and mushrooms too, 'cause they so fly. I'd make the trek to BK Heights from down in DUMBO any night to eat yo' slices 'til I'm full then roll my ass back down the hill. read more

The pizza was pretty good, but it's NYC. Good pizza isn't very hard to find. The reason they get 1 single star is their service. How do you run a pizza joint and not have any Parmesan or black pepper???? Really, how is that possible?! And you only take cash??? I could understand if it was a stand, but a brick and mortar shop and cash only?? Guys there look miserable. Too many guys behind the counter scrambling. Why have five just bumping into each other wondering wtf each of the other is doing, when you don't need more than three. Won't ever come here again. Too many other great pizza places. read more

The best slice in the neighborhood, hands down. It's been around since I was a kid and I remember getting excited whenever I heard my parents mention that name, because it always meant that they were too busy or too tired to cook up something healthy like brussel sprouts and we were going to have wonderful PIZZA for dinner!!!! YAY, said the little Martha! It's something about the cheese that they use there. Maybe there's an overdose of salt in there, maybe it's crack, I don't know. Maybe salt is crack's sister and maybe that's why I like it so much. Very old school vibe there. Get a grape drink to go with your slice. read more

Seriously...go to Grimaldi's instead. Really. It's only like a five-minute walk from Fascati--it's just down that way, the one with the giant line and all the tourists taking pictures. You can't miss it. Why did I give this restaurant five stars while referring you to the competition? Simple--more Fascati pizza for me. read more

Fascati's is the bomb diggitty and then some. I've eaten probably upwards of 200 pies from there over the past 4 years, not to mention they've got the meanest meatball parm this side of gardenia. Also, in a neighborhood somewhat devoid of decent delivery, in a pinch you can get a decent spaghetti & meatballs or sausage from them. I recomend topping your pie w/ ricotta and sausage - divine! It's the more BK pizzeria alternative to Grimaldi's, which is equally divine in a different way. Every time I pass by Fascati's in August during the summer closing and see the sign that they are closed for vacation, I cry a little. Martha, they definitely put crack in their cheese. read more

this place used to have the best slices in downtown brooklyn/brooklyn heights. sadly, that is no more. my friend and i got four slices and a soda ($18.00) that tasted like cardboard. there was almost no sauce and the cheese was hard with the texture of plastic. maybe it was an off day but i won't be trying it again to find out. read more

Really good pizza for the last 30 years. I used to go here almost every day in grades 4-7 and that was a long time ago. Now I am back and loving it again. It is just as it should be, a pizza joint, no different than 25 years ago, but it maintains high quality in the pizza department. $2.50 for a regular slice and they are the kind of pizza place that actually knows how long to place it back in the oven so the roof of your mouth does not end up feeling like you ate a box of Capt'n Crunch. The sausage is good too. The pizza is not greasy at all and for any type of pizza stomach, 2 slices is really ideal. One just is not enough and two does the trick without pushing you over the edge. When in a rush, they have a window on Henry that you can just tap on and order through it without ever going in and you have a slice to-go in seconds. There is a lot of good pizza in New York, but I had remembered this place through all my travels for 25 years and now come back to it and love it as much as I did when I was a kid. read more

Definitely the best slice in Brooklyn Heights...and probably in the vicinity too. I usually just get two slices of cheese and a soda -- I definitely miss their special though which was a killer deal -- about 6 months ago you could get that for $5. But the pizza is consistently good -- cheese is good and the crust is just perfect. I kinda wish there was more seating though. And I tend to forget that the place is closed on Mondays. Ugh. I live like 3 blocks away and sometimes I forget and I have my Fascatis craving only to walk up there and see it closed. I only stick to their pizzas, but they offer a variety of subs and heroes and they look pretty amazing. read more

after reading lots of good to great reviews of this place, I have to say that I was severely dissapointed. I wasn't expecting anything out of this world (I hadn't heard anyone paint it as the best pizza in new york, by any means), but I was expecting a good little neighborhood pizza place with decent slices (since no one else in the neighborhood offers slices, that was my main incentive). it wasn't horrible, but really, when is pizza ever truly horrible? it's bread with tomato sauce and cheese... no matter what goes wrong it's pretty tough to make a repulsive pizza. but with so many options for the stuff in new york, I don't see why anyone would come here regularly. I had one pepperoni and one cheese, and both were about as limp as a wet dishrag. should have gotten takeout from grimaldi's instead. I'm sort of miffed. what's the deal? am I missing something (maybe their whole pies are better) or am I just alone in thinking this place isn't anything special? read more
