Got the L'industrie Pie (Prosciutto di parma and burrata). The prosciutto is a bit salty but it makes the pizza. My friend who is picky about the pizza, actually liked it enough that he was willing to eat leftovers! Unfortunately, I ate the slices for breakfast and lunch. The concord grape sorbet and pistachio gelato with salt and olive oil was a nice balance. Folls were helpful but if you need suggestions, be prepared for what you are in the mood for.

Reservations were tough (stand in line and then they'll tell you what time to come back) and we got an 830 res. Still one of my favorite pizzas!

Standard-Issue Nostalgia with a Side of Rushed Hospitality…read more If you enjoy paying in time rather than digital convenience, Lucali's reservation process is a masterclass in performative nostalgia. Arriving at 2 PM to stand in a line for two hours just to get on a list for a 7 PM seating doesn't make the place feel exclusive, it makes it feel like a punishment. But hey, we got a table, so the sacrifice was supposed to be worth it. It wasn't. Lucali is BYOB, which is fine in theory. My party brought two bottles of prosecco, fully prepared for a cozy, rustic evening. The server kindly offered to pop the first bottle, then brought out our glassware: heavy, standard water glasses, fresh out of the commercial dishwasher and literally piping hot. There is a special kind of absurdity in pouring crisp, ice-cold prosecco into a glass that feels like it was just pulled from the depths of hell. To top it off, nobody offered to keep our second bottle chilled. Minor detail, sure, but for a place with this level of cult status, the low-effort service immediately set the tone. To give credit where it's due, the ambiance is legitimately cool. It's dimly lit, atmospheric, and feels like step-back-in-time Brooklyn kitchen. Watching the pizza makers roll out dough using empty wine bottles before shoving them into the roaring brick oven gives off that warm, "Nonna's kitchen" charm. You want to love it. Then the food arrives, and the illusion shatters. Our server gave us the bare minimum rundown: "We have pizza, calzones, and tonight's special pasta." Zero detail, zero enthusiasm. We ordered the pizza and the calzone. The pizza was... fine. Completely fine. But calling this the best pizza in New York feels like collective mass delusion. If you've been to L'Industrie or Mama's Too, Lucali isn't even in the same stratosphere. Then came the calzone, which was allegedly stuffed with five cheeses. The server proudly named four, withholding the fifth as a "secret ingredient." A mystery cheese angle might be fun if the calzone blew your mind, but by the time I took a bite, the gimmick just felt tired. It was a perfectly average calzone wrapped in high-end gatekeeping. The grand finale, however, was the absolute kicker. Just under an hour into our meal, after overhearing the hostess realize she'd botched the table rotation, our server came over with an update: they had overbooked and needed our table. Her gracious solution? "You're welcome to pour the rest of your prosecco into your glasses and finish it outside!" The remaining, warm, prosecco that is... Let's recap the math: two hours waiting on a sidewalk at 2 PM, five hours of waiting for the reservation time, warm glasses for cold bubbles, middle-of-the-road pizza, and a boot out the door in under sixty minutes because they messed up their own seating chart. Disgraceful hospitality masked as old-school Brooklyn charm. If you love mediocre food, lukewarm prosecco in burning hot glassware, and being rushed out to the curb, Lucali is waiting for you. As for me, I won't be back.

Personally, I would not rate this pizza anywhere near a 9.3, especially considering how many great pizza options there are in Brooklyn. That being said, it is still a good slice and worth trying.

We ordered a glass of wine, a beer, an arugula salad, and our main food order. Everything started out fine, and the salad came without a problem. But then we waited. And waited. About 30 minutes after we had ordered, I asked our waiter where our food was. He apologized and admitted that he had forgotten to put the order in. By that point, we had already watched other tables receive their food, including people who had arrived well after us. We continued waiting, and after roughly 40 minutes or more, our food still had not arrived. At that point, the dining experience was already ruined and we decided to leave. Ironically, just as we were getting ready to go, the food finally started coming out. I told them we no longer wanted it. The waiter did apologize again and offered us a pizza to take with us, which I assume was complimentary, but by then we were simply ready to leave. Even paying the bill became unnecessarily drawn out. We were charged the full amount for the salad, beer, and wine. I sat with a $50 bill ready to pay, was handed the check, and then ended up standing around for another five minutes waiting for someone to actually take the money. There was no apology from the person handling the payment. I understand that mistakes happen, and I appreciated that our waiter admitted he had forgotten to place the order. But when a restaurant makes that kind of mistake, the recovery matters. After waiting that long, watching later-arriving customers get served, and then having difficulty simply paying and leaving, an apology and a pizza at the very end didn't really fix the experience. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I can't say the service lived up to the restaurant's reputation.

Got a TGTG order here. 11/10 I'd do it again…read more Brooklyn DOP actually originated as a pandemic business where my friend's personal trainer started baking pizzas outside of his Greenwood Heights apartment. When the hype got large enough, the owner decided to start a pizzeria and the rest is not history. This is one of the more worthwhile TGTG orders to me. Their pizza is SOOO perfectly crisp and charred, and actually is one of the closest pizzas that reminds me of the famous originals in Napoli.

Brooklyn DOP is a prime example of what happens when a pandemic lockdown, a dough obsession, and an…read moreinability to sit still all collide. We visited as a stop on Scott's Pizza Bus Tour, which meant we were actively evaluating it against some of the best pizza in the city. Evaluating pizza on a tour is tricky because excellence becomes relative when you are eating multiple high-end pies in a single afternoon. According to Scott, Brooklyn DOP began in founder Thomas Ardito's apartment during the 2020 lockdowns. With his primary work on pause, he started baking pizza and selling pies through Instagram to pay his rent. People kept ordering. His friend Jason D'Amelio joined the effort, and what started as an apartment project turned into pop-ups and eventually a brick-and-mortar shop on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. That is a considerably more compelling origin story than a corporate franchise business plan. The setup in Park Slope includes a quiet back courtyard, which offered a comfortable spot for our group to sit, eat, and recover between stops. It feels relaxed and distinctly Brooklyn without trying too hard to remind you where you are. The pizza itself is very good. The crust strikes a proper balance between a crisp bottom and a chewy interior. The toppings are handled with care, from the crushed tomatoes to the fresh mozzarella. This is dough crafted by people who take fermentation seriously rather than relying on pre-packaged shortcuts. On its own merits, the pizza is a solid 4.5 stars. Unfortunately for Brooklyn DOP, it was competing on a tour against places operating on another plane. It is an excellent pie, but it was not the single slice that caused the entire tour to fall silent in collective awe. Still, that is an aggressive standard to hold against any local shop. Brooklyn DOP offers a great courtyard, a serious approach to dough, and a standout product. Landing just shy of five stars says far more about the sheer volume of elite pizza we ate that day than it does about the shop itself. Four stars. And if you are not spending the afternoon riding around New York with Scott Wiener eating pizza at some of the finest pizza joints the 5 boroughs have to offer, you can probably bump that half-star back up.

I'm still buzzing from the most phenomenal dining experience at Giuseppina's! Walking into this lively gem felt like stepping into a warm, vibrant celebration of food and hospitality. The place was absolutely buzzing, yet every moment felt seamless, personal, and downright magical. Our server, Phil, the owner's son, was an absolute superstar! His infectious enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the menu made us feel right at home. He patiently answered all our questions with spot-on recommendations, guiding us to the perfect choice: a half-margherita, half-cheese pizza that was nothing short of spectacular. The crust was perfectly crisp, the flavors exploded with freshness, and it arrived lightning-fast despite the packed house. Every bite was pure heaven, a true testament to Giuseppina's craft. Phil's warmth and attentiveness took the night to another level. After our meal, we mentioned wanting an XL hoodie, but they were out of stock. In a heartwarming gesture, Phil surprised us with complimentary t-shirts, delivered with a genuine smile that made us feel like family. That kind of above-and-beyond care is what sets Giuseppina's apart. From the electric atmosphere to the mouthwatering pizza to Phil's exceptional service, this wasn't just dinner--it was a memory we'll treasure forever. We're already counting down the days until our next visit and will be back for years to come. Phil, you're a legend, and Giuseppina's, you've stolen our hearts! read more

I had an incredible dining experience at Giusseppina's on Monday night with a group of 8. From the moment we arrived, we were seated promptly, and the service was outstanding. We followed our waiter's recommendations and chose the classic pizza, which exceeded all expectations. The pizza featured a delightfully thin crust, fresh mozzarella, and a flavorful sauce that truly impressed. We shared two pizzas and ended our meal with dessert, which was a delectable combination of creamy filling and Nutella drizzled over a perfect dough. The atmosphere at Giussepina's was warm and inviting, making it an excellent choice for celebrating a friend's birthday. The staff was exceptionally friendly, contributing to a welcoming vibe that made the evening even more special. The restaurant, a hidden gem in Brooklyn, offers an upscale dining experience at reasonable prices for groups. I can't recommend this spot enough and look forward to returning. read more

This small pie shop seats a handful of patrons inside, with three or four small tables for anyone itching to dine under the sun. Impasto is, as you can imagine, an elevated casual quick-stop for a slice of 'za. Although there were quite the variety of appetizing flavors to try, I went ahead and made a fairly average-joe order: a plain marinara. But don't be deceived by the simplicity of this dish. The focaccia-style slice had an outer crisp that balanced well with the soft, airy interior. In other words, it had a nice crunch without feeling dry or overdone. The marinara, too, was phenomenal, slightly sweet and had a lot of flavor. It didn't taste like an average-joe slice at all. My favorite part of the dish was the pureed peppers (don't know which kind) offered as one of their condiments, alongside the usual: parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. I felt this was a luxurious complementary topping. I, of course, couldn't have enough of it. It only enhanced the flavors of my pizza while adding a moderate amount of heat to each bite. My time here, although quick, was certainly memorable, and if I'm ever in the area again, I will certainly make another stop.

I have to say that Lucali's calzone is better - but so what, the House of Calzone's is delicious on its own. If you're in the area it's definitely worth the stop. The service and ambiance is typical pizza parlor. They're pleasant the place is nice and clean. All good.

So we took my father in-law down to his old stomping grounds on Union Street in Brooklyn, to the…read moreFamous House of Pizza and Calzone Right on the iconic Union Street strip, this spot has been putting out SERIOUS flavor for generations! From the first bite to the last, this meal was just one "wow" after another . Let me start by saying I am super critical when it comes to my pizza and pizzerias. I LOVE good pizza! My go to slice is always a Pepperoni Slice. So today I went straight for the Hot Honey Pepperoni Sicilian slice, and it was absolutely next level . The crust was thick, airy, and perfectly crisp on the bottom, while the hot honey added that sweet fire. Every bite had that perfect balance of cheesy, saucy, spicy, and sweet. My mouth is watering just writing about it! The classic Sicilian slice held its own just as strong Simple, clean, and done RIGHT. The sauce had great flavor, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the bread had that soft inside with a slight crunch on the outside that you look for in a true Sicilian slice. Now let's talk wings... the Mango Habanero wings were --that perfect combo of sweet and heat. Not overpowering, no swimming in sauce, just enough kick to let you know it's there. The Buffalo wings came through exactly how they should--saucy, tangy, with that classic flavor that never misses . But the REAL star of the show... the fried calzones OMG!!!! Absolutely amazing!! Fried calzone versus baked is NO match. My father in-law and my wife ordered the fried ham calzones while I had the fried pepperoni calzone. I mean, WOW!!! These calzones are on completely different level. That crispy golden shell on the outside with all that hot, cheesy, savory filling inside... every bite was rich, flavorful, and just straight up addictive You get that crunch first, then the melty goodness hits--game over. And then to finish it all off... the fried zeppoles A full dozen of warm, soft, pillowy perfection dusted just right. Light, fluffy, and the perfect sweet ending to an already incredible meal. Nothing beats watching an old man reliving his childhood days shaking the bag of Zeppoles with a smile bigger than the calzone! Everything came out hot, fresh, and clearly made with care. This isn't just good food--it's the kind of spot that makes you stop mid-bite and say "nah... this is DIFFERENT." Let me NOT forget, it was so good we ordered a whole pie to take home with us, 1/2 Pepperoni 1/2 Plajn. I'll definitely be back... and next time, I might just order double

DISCLAIMER: I'm writing this based on my experience with take-out via TGTG (Too Good To Go) for the…read more3.99$ bag. I came on a random day towards the end of December close to closing to pick up a Too Good To Go Bag. Everyone at my workplace likes to come here for their pizzas and pastries, and I can tell why. Whenever I pass by, everything looks impeccably presented and crafted; it looks more like an art gallery than a pizzeria. For this reason, I was excited to cross over the park and slowly make my way to Numero 28. Just be mindful that they are pretty strict about the hours, so please do go within the prescribed window. In my bag came two large rectangles of pizza (one a red sauce and sausage, and the other a sauceless vegetable medley) and one pistachio cream croissant. This was a really good deal for 4$ -- the slices were thin-crust and still tasty after being reheated on a skillet, and the pastry tasted fresh and decadent. I would not hesitate to come back again for a TGTG bag or just to have lunch/take out a pie for dinner.

The Pistachio Bombolone & Iced Nutella Latte were great! The guys at the counter were friendly. The…read moreambiance was laid back.
