    5 Garlic Knots
    Julia H.

    There aren't a ton of pizza spots that come to mind for me in this area. I had walked by this place many times but never noticed it and tried it on a whim. If I had to characterize it I would call it more of a New York slice, salty greasy and very satisfying. Surprisingly the garlic knots were also very good and i don't even usually go for them! Pies are very big so definitely more for a group (though I ordered this just for myself lol).

    The so called Rice ball Which allegedly is actually made with risotto and had the consistency of polenta, yes polenta. Very disappointed.

    This review is based on the nasty tasting food that made me sick , the dried up so called Rice ball and the arrogant manager who spoke with me on the phone. According to the manager the rice ball is actually made with Risotto. That was the first red flag. The second was the lack of accountability , even after telling him the rice ball was inedible. Also - I have no understanding as to why they cut the rice ball in half. Maybe its an attempt to try and mask the polenta like texture. If I could give 0 stars I would. According to Mr.Arrogant manager no-one has ever complained. Smh. I highly doubt I will order from here again . This restaurant needs to stop acting like everyone does not know what good food safe food and a rice ball is. I surely do and this is not it. It also made us sick. I am nauseous as I type this.

    I've used too good to go for this pizzeria many times and they have an amazing deal using it. 4 slices of pizza for 5 or 6 dollars. The pizza is generally pretty flavorful but the only thing that takes it from being a 5 out of 5 is the crust. It is very very often too crunchy. The perfect ny slice should be bendable without it breaking but almost every time I've gotten pizza here, it breaks and makes the crust not enjoyable. They have a lot of special slices and I would very much so recommend though. Tons of seats in side too!

    Big place. Stopped in to grab a slice and a beer for my baby hangover. Got a pepperoni Sicilian with a corona. Not too shabby. Could've been hotter. But not complaining. Staff friendly. Loved the decor.

    We came up to Brooklyn to visit family and told them we were craving some delicious authentic NY Pizza and they recommended. Was not disappointed!! Amazing and perfect! Service was great and delivered hot and fresh. Will definitely order again and looking forward to leftovers tomorrow! Pies were huge! Highly recommend

    Casual neighborhood spot serving some pretty good pastas. We've ordered delivery a couple of times before and then dined in for the first time. Service was super friendly, and I think it was the owner (?) but there was a kind older gentleman who kept checking on all the tables to make sure we have everything we need. We've tried a bunch of their pastas: carbonara, alfredo, vodka, bolognese. All of them were delicious. Maybe the tiniest bit on the bland side, but the pasta itself was perfectly al dente.

    Vegan cheese pizza with eggplant.

    They have vegan cheese! I usually get the vegan brick oven pizza with eggplant. The dough is delicious, they load it up with plenty of cheese, and they don't skimp on the toppings. The eggplant is not the best I've had, but still decent. I wish they offered more vegan pizza options rather than me having to customize my own. I got french fries as a side and they were great. A restaurant is often only as good as the cheapest item on their menu because it shows the care they put in the food, no matter what. You get a big portion of fries and they even top it with parsley (or cilantro?). Delivery is reliable as well, which is always a plus.

    Twice my best friend and I have ordered takeout from here and we weren't disappointed! Their eggplant parm sandwich, fries, pasta, and garlic knots are so tasty!

    Ok, this is a white pie with double pepperoni, and I'm here to tell you it's AMAZING. Look no further.

    Reply to Business Owner:…read more Hello Jaffa, Thank you for the response. I understand seasoning and heat can affect appearance; however, my concern was not solely discoloration, but the overall quality and texture of the food upon arrival. The crab meat was stuck to the shell (rubbery), the mussels lacked freshness and texture, and the sausage was unusually rubbery--issues that go beyond presentation or residual heat. I shared my experience honestly based on the meal I received. While I appreciate the offer to resolve it had I called, posting a review reflects my experience as a customer ordering delivery, which is a service you offer. Unfortunately, this order did not meet the standard I expected based on my experience. I'm glad to hear you're open to addressing concerns directly, and I hope future delivery orders are more consistent. -------------------- My Initial Review: I "really" wanted to enjoy this meal, especially since I've ordered from here before via Uber Eats and decided to give it another try. Unfortunately, the food quality was disappointing. The snow crab legs had gray shells, and the meat was stuck to the shell, rubbery, and lacked freshness. The mussels were deep orange in color, had no real texture, and some were actually dry, which made them unpleasant to eat. The sausage was also very rubbery--I had to bite hard just to get through it. Flavor alone couldn't make up for the overall texture and freshness issues. This may be a place that's better enjoyed in person, but based on my experiences, the seafood does not seem to travel well for delivery. I truly wanted this to be a satisfying meal, but unfortunately it missed the mark.

    Ordered lobster roll for pick up and it said it would be ready in 40 minutes. When we got there…read moreafter 45 minutes, it wasn't even ready. There was only one table so not sure why the wait was so long. It seemed like they didn't even start the order till we got there. We waited another 15 minutes more and it was definitely not worth it. The lobster roll was overcooked and SUPER dry covered in heavy seasoning. The bread was drenched in oil and so greasy. The only highlight was the fries which is kinda sad if you pay $34 and the highlight is the fries with a one hour wait time. Won't be coming back again.

I went yesterday for lunch specifically craving the mac & cheese and mussels (they were out of mussels, unfortunately), but the mac & cheese was so rich and satisfying that I wasn't even mad about it. I've been here before and tried a bunch of their cocktails ...you really can't go wrong with any of them, but this time I switched it up and got a virgin painkiller mocktail, which was actually great. It's definitely a staple if you live in Bushwick, but I feel like people outside of Brooklyn don't talk about it enough. If you're looking for somewhere new to try or a solid spot to take someone for really good food, this is it. Also perfect for dinner before catching a show across the street at Company XIV.

The kind of bite that makes you sit up and ask whether the kitchen was testing jaw strength. Not inedible. Just working way harder than it needed to. The shrimp was so-so. It showed up. It participated. It did not offend anybody, but it also did not exactly have the table falling out over itself. Very middle seat on a budget airline. Present. Fine. Forgettable. The wings though. The wings knew why they were there. Crispy. Flavorful. Actually satisfying. The kind of plate that makes you stop talking for a minute because now everybody is focused. Easily the standout. If the steak was chaos and the shrimp was filler, the wings were the only one clocked in and ready to lead. Staff was decent. Pleasant enough. Kept things moving. No major complaints. They did their part and helped the experience stay above water. The vibe is possible. That is the word. Possible. On the right night, with the right crowd, right playlist, and maybe one strong drink, I can see this place feeling very cute. On the wrong night, you are just there negotiating with a rubbery steak and a shrimp that forgot to leave an impression. I would come back with a different strategy. Wings, yes. Steak, no. Shrimp, maybe if it came free with emotional support. it's giving... one friend carried the group project and it was the wings.

When I…read morefound myself galavanting in Bushwick on arguably the coldest day of the year, Ten Bells popped up as a natural haven where I unwrapped myself and indulged in my favorite food of the season. Right off the bat, the bar area is absolutely gorgeous and meets you with so much warmth, light and joy as soon as you walk in to this establishment. I plopped myself on the bar and had the pleasure of making conversation with Elouise and Alejandra. They put in my standard two dozen oyster order and paired my platter with a glass of the happy hour white wine which happens to be their house chardonnay. The oysters were delicious although I must say there was a lot of shell pieces inside, which was very annoying to eat. I don't think this is necessarily the fault of whoever is shucking them. I noticed the oysters they serve have a lot of thin slivers of shell on the edges which are bound to end up in your mouth. Perhaps they can try serving another variety of oysters? Just a thought. The chardonnay was pretty good and service was amazing. The girls at the bar also let me try the Ten Bells red wine which is produced specially for them in Boudreaux, France. It was a beautiful, light, and smooth red blend. As a wine lover, I will definitely be back to try more of their wines on tap. This is a great neighborhood establishment that I feel everyone should pop in and visit!!

I think it's better as a happy hour spot than an actual evening wine vibe but that may just be me. The oysters are good and I happened to try the octopus as well which was SUPER good.

The arroz con pollo isn't even worth discussing . This is the opposite of finesse . It's shredded chicken ( quite dry ) mixed in with the rice and veggies and two slabs of plantains on top for looks . The fried plantains helped a lot on masking the dryness and yuckiness of this meal . This was certainly not worthy of the calorie intake at all. I've had this same meal at other Ecuadorian restaurants and this was easily the worst . The portion size was huge though if that matters .
