I Grew up in the neighborhood when we had a pizzeria on every corner and Lenny was always one of the best; old school pizzeria where the fresh ingredients make a great slice, fabulous square and zeppoles that are worth breaking my diet. The service as others mentioned is welcoming and always service with a smile. And they still do a Wednesday special for 2 pies 25.00 more than I remember but in these inflationary times the best deal in the city . I'm hoping it never changes . I visit every time I'm in the neighborhood and it's worth the trip. read more

If you're in Brooklyn you can walk into any pizzeria and find a pretty decent slice. Lenny's is no exception there. They've been around for 50+ years and still making great pizza. What I appreciated about Lenny's that differs from other places is the staff. They are the "hi, how you doing, how's the family" kind of New Yorkers that have no clue who you are but will chat you up and make you feel like you've been friend forever. In the work of corporate minimalism this is hard to find. While the outside looks pretty small they have a seating area in the back. The walls are draped with articles, pacs and signs that represent Lenny's roots in the community. read more

I stopped in recently for a slice and it was pretty good. I tried a square slice and a pepperoni. I preferred the pepperoni slice over the square, but both were good. For $8 I think it's a good value for their product. They are cash only but have an ATM inside. read more

The pizza is old school, it is good not the best.the service is good .fry dough with powder sugar is very good

Randomly walked in not expecting much. Great old school pizzeria with great brooklyn style pizza. Good staff and service

Pizza is solid old school pizza. I grew up eating Lenny's so I always make it point to have a slice when I am back in town. The owner is always friendly and pizzas come out quick. Decor is old but that's part of the charm. read more

Closing because the father wants to retire. Good for him and his family, but we will all miss his pizza and great hospitality. The old school expression just can't be replaced. read more

A spot for true Italian flavors. We sat to enjoy a grandma slice and the owner served a couple of zeppoles, "enjoy he said" a true neighborhood spot. Ambiance could stand update but that's part of the charm. read more

We ordered thru Slice and they got the order wrong for the 2 delivery in a row - ordered full pepperoni and got half both times. When Slice called them on my behalf they said if we sent the pizza back they would get us a new one. SEND IT BACK are you guys idiots. Will never use Slice or order from them again. What poor customer service but you can see that in their reviews. read more

The plain slice was average but I liked the zingy sauce on the Grandma slice. The service is friendly, the hours are late and they have old-timey lowbrow grape drink and fruit punch. read more

Love this place so much I started working here! This place is a classic family owned business since 1954! Food is amazing and staff is great. Come ask for Anthony or Steve. read more

When I arrived around 4/5pm, the store was empty except a family of 3 entering after me. The waiter took my order quick and I got my food within 10-15 minutes. The total was $9 for a regular slice, mushroom and cheese slice, and a rice ball. I took it to go and what was disappointing about the experience was the fact that my food was still a little cold on the inside... I did not go far from the pizzeria as I was only less than a block away from it, and it wasn't a cold day either.. read more

Lenny’s Pizzeria - $9 - regular and mushroom slice with rice ball - was okay. - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The pizza is really good! Between a 4 and a 5, but the super friendly guys who work at/own the place tip it to a 5. Classic Brooklyn pizza place. read more

Disgusting! The workers have masks over their mouth only, nothing over their nose, he's eating AND spitting over the slices while serving customers. All the while a customer is COUGHING over the counter WITH NO MASK AT ALL!! When is canceled my order, the owner yelled at me to "Eat at home". DESPICABLE!!! DO NOT EAT HERE!!! Stay safe. read more

Love the history, hated the pizza. Walking in, you can tell the place has been open a long time, just from the design and layout of the pizzeria is an indication. It's a classic, old school pizzeria that offers pretty much all of what NY pizzerias offer. Once you get inside, there is a display of what they sell from reg slices, to sicilians, to grandmas to margaritas etc but the first thing that I noticed on all the pies, which was a very bad indication of how my pizza would turn out, was the cheap look of the cheese. I was born and raised in NY and I have been eating pizza since I was a little kid and as much as I appreciate the nostalgia of a classic, old school pizzeria, the pizza here was a miss. The food: Grandma slice- This is usually my go to since you usually have a nice tangy sauce that combines a focaccia like bottom with nice stringy cheese, this was not. It tasted like toasted cardboard with government cheese. #SadFace This might have to be one of the worse Grandma slices I ever had. When you use cheap ingredients, a bad end product will show. On the bright side, the sauce was pretty good, it had a nice tang. Reg slice- The cheese was the first thing I noticed and it wasn't pretty. The bottom had a slight crunch, but it was floppy and boring and depressing. read more

This store is not compliant with COVID protocols and procedures. I'm not comfortable getting food at a place where employees refuse to wear masks. A lot of the customers don't wear masks as well, and everyone gets confrontational when this is brought up or I ask them to put a mask on. read more

I think I met Lenny. well, if it wasn't him---if Lenny was going to be made into a cartoon--they would use this guy as a sketch. So nice, so friendly and they always give me the pizza fresh from the oven when I order a slice. when we first moved here--"Lenny" has already sent the delivery guy home --so he made our food fresh and walked it down the block to us (little did we know it was down the block--otherwise we would have went,...but whatever) anyway. always open when I need them and the garlic knots and yum-tastic! read more

I just experienced a racist incident with a Lenny's Pizza worker (owner?). An Asian woman was walking in front of me (I am also Asian) on the street, and a man in a pizza apron yells out, "Nee how! Nee how!" It wasn't friendly. I said, "That's very rude." He mocked back, "'Very rude'? Get out of here!" And flicked his hand at me. Then he disappeared into Lenny's. The man was white, thin, brown hair, maybe upper 40s? I didn't realize their pizza was kneaded with bigotry. No thanks. read more

Didn't expect it but, Lenny's Pizzeria was simply cool. They are more affordable than the competition. Every thing I've tried until now has been wonderful. First of all, the service was impressive. Definitely recommending to others. read more

Tried Lennys tonight for the first time in over 10 years. Special spinach artichoke slice was nice... my wife had mushroom slice. We liked the pizza slices, but the overwhelming smell of moth balls made us eat and leave quickly. I used the bathroom before leaving and the mothballs smell is enough to choke you in there.. beware read more

I have been going to this pizzeria for years, and think the food is good, but some of the employees there regularly ignore COVID rules and regulations and don't wear masks properly (wearing it under their nose, on their chins, never using gloves, etc.). Since I'd been coming here for a while and live nearby, I made it clear that I was uncomfortable with this and that if they kept on doing it I would not continue to be a customer. The response to that was he'd put the mask on when I'd walk in and take it off or wear it improperly when I'd leave. When I informed them that I wouldn't be coming again, multiple people in the pizza shop claimed it wasn't an issue, and that it was not a law to wear a mask if you're operating a business. Well that's simply not true (check Title: Section 66-3.2 - Face-Coverings for NY) This post really isn't about the food, but mostly about the blatant disregard for others health, and how gross and disgusting it is to be served food with this guys spit and hands all over it. Don't recommend at all! Will be taking my business elsewhere! read more

This pizzeria has been in our neighborhood for over 50 years. Their slices are larger than most and they're above average in taste. They only take cash. read more

It's pretty much the only food place in my boyfriend's Park Slope/Sunset Park neighborhood that's open after 10pm that isn't fast food. The pizza is pretty decent, nothing spectacular to rave about. It's good for when your stumbling home drunk or just super hungry. I don't know why the guy behind the counter thinks I'm Spanish. I blame my boyfriend. read more

Lenny's is an old school pizza joint in South Slope. The people that work there are fast and friendly and they bake a great pie. I used to go to Luigi's but got turned off by the "you're lucky we sell you our pizza at all" attitude. Lenny's has zero pretension. Best all around in the neighborhood. read more

Slopers, this is the best slice (and by slice I mean real NY greasy slice, not some sort of strange Park-Slope expensive yuppity thing) anywhere on the south side. This is good, especially since it's open late. The downside, well, pizza in this neighborhood isn't great, so saying it's the best around isn't saying too much. I gave it 4 stars for the plain slice, which is really the only slice that matters, but (a side note) the other varieties I've tried aren't as good. (edit: the fresh mozzarella slice is also tasty) Stick to the basics, appreciate the late, it's great. read more

Love this place...for walk in and delivery. The guys are friendly and the pizza is great. They're open late, which is great when you get home late and need dinner, but don't want to cook. Their garlic knots are delicious, as well. I've never had any problems with Lenny's in the five years that I've been a customer. My husband has been a customer for much longer, and won't order from anywhere else. If you're looking for real...not gourmet...pizza in the Slope, this is the place to get it from. read more

If you are looking to get a tasty, fresh slice of pizza for lunch and are walking down 5th Ave through South Park Slope and into the nebulous zone of "Greenwood Heights," continue walking right past Lenny's and proceed to Luigi's for a far superior slice. If, however, you are looking for late night eats, do let the blazing lights, which let pedestrians know loudly and clearly that Lenny's is indeed still open for business, welcome you to this rather average, barely-a-step-above-Ray's pizza joint. The blazing lights on Lenny's sign are echoed by the obnoxiously bright, fluorescent decor of the interior, which can boast of only one thing--ample seating space. I tried a margarita slice here, which had likely been sitting out all day, then reheated to an acceptable temperature, along with some garlic knots. The slice was nothing to write home about--cardboardy crust, not very tasty sauce, not especially fresh mozzarella. The garlic knots were wrapped in tinfoil on their way into the oven, and as a result, needed to be reheated longer than my slice. Due to the rush job of the counter person, I received lukewarm, though tasty and cheap knots. Incidentally, an Italian-American friend of mine who lives nearby concluded that the sauce served on the side here with rolls (and possibly also the sauce on all the pies) consists solely of canned tomato juice. She thought that if Lenny's weren't going to make its own sauce, the least it could due is serve some nuked up Ragu in a plastic cup to achieve proper consistency. read more

From my experience their spinach roll taste alright but the spinach itself is a little on the hard side sort of makes you not want to eat it :( we also ordered two ham and cheese calzones since they were out of the chicken one came with about three pieces of tiny ham bits and the other had absolutely nothing in it don't know if they had made an honest mistake or not but either way a tad bit disappointed other than that I definitely recommend and give them a try again based upon the prices, quickness, and of course the taste :) read more

There's a lot of Pizzerias in New York. BK itself's got a s'load. Park Slope alone probably has more than enough. Well, if you live in Park Slope, more towards the Dead End side of the neighborhood, say, around Prospect Ave, at least you've got one of the better Pizzerias close to you: LENNY'S! I recommend dining in. Yes. I mean, grab a few of your friends and head over there, down the hill and order your pies on the way in and grab some beers. The pies need to be consumed piping hot out of the oven! Sometimes, when you have it delivered, it can kind of get floopy in the middle. That is my only complaint. read more

I love a true NY pie. This is seemingly impossible to find in Park Slope for reasons beyond my comprehension. But then.... I found Lenny's. I searched far and wide for the best PS pizza joint. And there is much contention around this subject. But for my money (either to the delivery guy or the counter tender), Lenny's is hands down the best true NY experience in Park Slope. Cheese. Easy. Yum. UPDATE: They will no longer deliver to me.... weird, since they would two weeks ago... read more

This is the perfect pizza to eat on the street while you walk home from a night out. If I'm out and it's after 11pm (shut up I'm old), I'm getting a Sicilian slice at Lenny's. The foccacia crust is pillowy, and almost melty where it meets the sauce. Nice amount of cheese, and easy on the wallet. The Sicilian IS the fourth star here. The rest of it? Just fine. Won't blow your mind, but won't piss you off either. Pretty solid slices (and very garlicky garlic knots, which is a pro in my book). read more

Awesome, quick Italian food joint! It's always great to go, but if you'd rather sit, there are several tables in the back. Service is speedy quick! Our group ordered A meatball hero (which was filled with meaty cheesy goodness) and a chicken Parmesan dinner (came with 2 giant breaded chicken breasts and a heaping pile of pasta for $12) and some garlic knots. It only took a mere 8 minutes for our food to come out piping hot! Delicious! Great place to grab quick take out and walk right across the street to Buttermilk Bar for a few drinks and your delicious Italian food. read more

Easily the best slice in the neighborhood. No question. Quality cheese, well seasoned sauce, and great crust. The perfect storm. Also: be mindful of the Wednesday take-out special. Two large pies for $18, perfect for a midweek pizza party of friendship. read more

Great pizza and food in person or delivery. Open super late on weekends for an awesome late night slice. Staff is always very friendly and welcoming. They even serve beer! read more

The pizza's gooooood. And it's open late. Those are proabbly the most important things you should note. And I just have to add: I find it hilarious that Lenny's now has a big neon "we have beer/wine!" sign in the window now -- right next to an inexplicable one also advertising the availability of designer handbags within their fine establishment. I personally don't think I'd partake in either from Lenny's, but hey, even J. Lo needs a side business of two. read more

Most of these by-the-slice pizza places scattered all over NY wont be the best pizza you'll ever have, but it's still pretty darn good for something that looks so simple and basic, and I made it my tourist mission to try as many slices as I could while I was there. Lenny's doesn't stand out from the crowd, but it tasted like a decent NY slice to me. read more

Lenny’s Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

sister-in-law told me Lenny's is good in the hood when I moved here, didn't realize it was the the place i walk by everyday on my way home. Used to walk right by and walk *further* to another joint for a slice, not sure why. Maybe it was the stereotypical "Best Pizza in Town" sign or whatever. Seemed a bit "cheesy' :) Anyways, glad i got past whatever preconceived notions i had to try it out. Awesome "grandma's slice" and a great plain too. Will def go back. I've said it before and I'll say it again, It's really hard to get a bad slice in Brooklyn :) read more

Way over-due for the review. After a mini bar crawl catch up with one of my friends back in October we decided we were pretty hungry and slightly inebriated. I've been to Lenny's numerous times when I used to live closer in the area or had more reasons to come out to South Slope. Always open when desperate and hits the spot. It's not blow me out of this world pizza but its not bad either. It's average - but good average. Crispy crust, good cheese to sauce ratio. They keep re-making new pizzas all night long so it tasted fresh and piping hot. We decided to splurge after noticing there were 40s of Bud in the fridge. Asked how much they were - only $3. To sit and split a huge thing of beer at a pizza place, kind of an awesome deal. The owner was being silly and dropping pans as we were sitting and chatting. My friend joked that he should probably give us another 40 of bud for making so much noise. Much to my embarrassment and shock the owner opens up another bottle for us free of charge. I insisted my friend was kidding but it was regardless the most awesome thing that happened that night. I think his name was Joe. Super nice and really funny! I don't really understand the negative reviews. People need to lighten up. read more
