I took a long hiatus from pizza because I felt it was getting to be a bit overrated especially New York City particular Brooklyn. However I was back in this park of Brooklyn the second time this week so I to get a A slice with an ice tea. I must Say l was very happy with my slice it was crispy not over cooked not greasy. The sauce and cheese blended perfectly together it was an enjoyable experience. Guys thanks at Lo Duca Pizza thanks for reminding Pizza is still the Bomb in my good old Brooklyn. read more

Very decent pizza. I had the Bourbon Chicken, and the thin crust silician with mozzarella, fresh basil and a tablespoon of chunky tomato sauce. Both good but not great. A huge variety of toppings not sauce forward unfortunately for me. Every slice is heavy with cheese(makes the slices very oily) and toppings. Tasty but I love pizza primarily for the tomato sauce. Not too pricey, will probably return. read more

This is by far the best pizza in NYC. If you ever get off the Newkirk Plaza stop in Brooklyn, you gotta try it. First off, you walk in and you're always greeted with a smile that just brightens your day. It's a plus when they know your name, makes one feel special. 2nd, who doesn't like to walk into a store where 7 handsome guys are making pizza, right? That'll drive any girl wild! 3rd, something about the ambiance just makes me feel right at home and comfortable. Sometimes I just go in and get water, just so I can say hi, they always put me in a good mood. It's always a great time at "Lo Ducas". I think I just gave em a slogan haha!

Classic, delicious New York pizza. They even do Chicago pizza sometimes. Friendly staff too, which is a nice bonus. At some other pizza places, they will give you old slices. You can see how old the pizza is before they stick it in the oven. I've never had this happen to me at Lo Duca. Their slices are visibly fresh. Sometimes other pizza places don't warm up your pizza long enough. This has also never happened to me at Lo Duca. Their slices are served hot, like God intended. They do everything a good New York pizzeria should do, and really how can you beat that? read more

Love this pizza. I grew up in Brooklyn and I think this is one the last official family owned pizza spots in Brooklyn. The eggplant slice was so good. It had ricotta and sauce on the eggplant. You could taste the saltiness of the ricotta, the eggplant and the sweetness of the sauce. It was so good. I usually order a Sicilian slice (square) or the margarita slice. They are just as tasty. They have cans of cream soda, root beer and black cherry soda along with the regular soda brands. They have sandwiches and calzones too! read more

Given the press Lo Duca has gotten fairly recently from Slice and other sources--and the fact that I pass by it frequently on the subway train--I made a point to stop here for lunch one day. Being in Newport Plaza, Lo Duca does a brisk business with slice turnover being very good. It looks like a raw, stereotypical slice joint inside because that's exactly what it is. The owning family makes the pies, and all of the staff are pretty friendly in a Brooklyn kid of way. I got the much trumpeted grandma slice. It was a good slice, but nothing more. The sparingness of the tomatoes was a double edged sword. On one hand, yes this does add more variety between bites as well as the cheese meeting the crisp bread on much of the slice. On the other hand, this create an imbalance between chunks of tomato, garlic, and cheese instead of those ingredients coming together. The crust was thin and crisp, but it didn't really impress me flavor-wise either. All in all Lo Duca would be very worthwhile if I was nearby, but not necessarily worth a special stop. Lo Duca is a good Brooklyn slice joint blown up into an ideal by a pizza blog. There is nothing wrong with it not being a cosmic beacon of awesomeness. My issue is that I've heard some comparing this place to Di Fara. No. fucking. way. Other than being in Brooklyn, owned by Italians, and serving slices, what are the similarities? I believe it has to do with some people trying to set a trend for the next big thing, but more importantly (although related) it has to do with nostaglia for quality slices of NY pizza that are increasingly rare nowadays. My question: have we become so desparate for the slice joints of New York past that we venerate each traditional one that we have left? Time will tell, and I hope for our sake that Lo Duca doesn't become famous for this reason alone. read more

Love this place. Out of all of the pizza places in the area, Loduca is my overall favorite. The best thing about Loduca (other than their pizza being awesome) is they like to switch up the kinds of pizzas they put out. It's annoying when pizza shops never change up their options. My favorites are chicken a la vodka, lemon chicken and chicken parmesan. They make a pretty mean grandma slice as well. It's not really the type of place where you would want to dine-in, so I typically pick up. My only wish is they would start delivering! read more

I am so happy my hubs convinced me that it was totally acceptable to have pizza night mid week. Since moving the neighborhood almost a year ago, I have searched for a good pizza place and stumbled across some reviews and was pointed toward Lo Duca. I have been wanting to try it, but then with the pandemic, I was so sad to find out they had closed -- BUT THEY ARE BACK! So we grabbed a few slices: Meat Lovers (4 stars) Grandpa Slice (5 Stars) Honey Siracha Chicken (5 Stars) These slices were amazing. The grandpa slice has delicious eggplant and mozzarella sliced right on top. So good. The Honey Siracha had such a great crunch from the fried chicken and a good amount of heat. So tasty. We also grabbed some Chicken Parm because it's our go-to test at any pizza/italian joint. The sauce is so good! We didn't get it on a roll or with spaghetti, just straight up Chicken Parm and it was a great price for a big amount of food. They also gave us basically a loaf of warm, soft bread with it. And then.. (yes there is more stop judging us) we also grabbed the namesake Cheesesteak -- Lo Duca special Cheesesteak -- So much flavor, fresh. We have leftovers.. but they won't last long. I am a little concerned that I now know how good this place is. Thankfully, they don't stay open late when I am at my weakest, but I would happily suggest they stay open a little later because I would roll up in there every night. read more

I just don't think it quite lives up to the hype or the exceptionally high rating it has received.

Spumoni Gardens is one of those places where I already know I'm not leaving with just one thing…read more The Sicilian slice is DIVINE. Thick, cheesy, saucy, crispy around the edges, and just completely different from a regular slice of pizza. This is the thing I'm coming here for first. Then there are the homemade frozen treats. I've had both the Italian ices and the ice cream, in more flavors than I can even remember at this point, and I genuinely can't tell you which one I like better. Every time I think I've picked a favorite, I try another flavor and change my mind. LOL. There's something very old-school Brooklyn about the whole experience too. It's not trying to be trendy or reinvent itself. It knows exactly what it is, and that's part of why people keep coming back. Give me a Sicilian slice and something frozen afterward and I'm happy.

We chose L&B Spumoni Gardens because of the strong reviews and because it seemed to be one of the…read moremore popular places in the area. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. 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.

I've eaten here, come to the Bushwick Block Party to see Action Bronson perform, and spent enough time around Tiki Disco to associate the place with a particularly inventive, free-spirited period in the neighborhood. The dining area still has that wonderfully idiosyncratic character: exposed beams, communal tables, mismatched details, and an open kitchen turning out genuinely excellent pizza. What impresses me most is how naturally Roberta's became more than a restaurant. Food, music, parties, outdoor spaces, and an extraordinary mix of people all seemed to converge here, giving the place a cultural gravity that could never have been designed by committee. It remains one of those places that instantly takes me back to my bachelor years and an especially fun chapter of my time in the city, when Bushwick felt endlessly creative, and Roberta's seemed to sit comfortably at its center. Sending my highest recommendation!

Not sure what the menu currently says, but the menu from just 3 months ago said it's 18% for a party under 6. Maybe they've changed it. Not sure. This is the first restaurant we've been to with 20% auto gratuity for a party under 6. But the borderline dishonest part is that the check that you sign tells you in tiny letters that tip was already added, but has huge font for additional tip and written out tip calculations, so it is very easy to tip 40% without noticing. Sometimes I do tip extra generously, but I don't want to feel like I was tricked into doing it! Looking thru reviews here, I see other people also experienced this, including people in small parties who were locked into the 20% when it should have definitely been 18%. :/ So close to a good experience, but ruined by tricksy billing.

First off, these guys don't know how to wear masks. I get that it's hot by the ovens and that we're all tired of the pandemic, but they're not chin bras, ya knuckledraggers. You run a restaurant, you wear a mask. Plus I saw them handle cash and credit cards then handle pizza without washing hands. WTF. I'm preparing to get the runs tonight. Thanks a lot. We ordered a pie, but they clearly forgot to make it. So our wait at the joint was extra long because they had just put it in. Then they lied about it. "10 minutes. 10 minutes". 30 minutes later: " 10 minutes". And when they finally took it out...it wasn't finished. You literally have ONE JOB. And you failed. The staff was rude. I understand you're busy. But if you can't stand the heat... if you hate your life and job that much, please shutter the windows and close your business. There's much better pizza elsewhere, ones that DELIVER! read more

I went for the seafood spaghetti and it was loaded with shrimp and clams. The sauce was garlicky and light, which really let the seafood shine. The noodles were al dente and had a nice bite to them. The portion size was generous without being too much. Staff was attentive and made sure our table had everything we needed. The atmosphere was calm and pleasant. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves seafood pasta. read more

Have been going there for years now. Their thin slice pizza is amazing so is their deep dish pizza. I go there almost once every two weeks. The guys behind the counter provide great service each and every time. The only thing i would like to see them do is deliver, otherwise hands down one of the best pizza place in Brooklyn. read more

We were playing soccer at the school playground down the street, and our kids started getting hangry, and we were grateful Mark's was right there. The guys behind the counter were great, and we rolled with a regular pie (great), a chicken parm hero (good), and chicken fingers and fries for my obstinate three year old (fine). I appreciated that they gave us plenty of ketchup for that little terror, but we didn't find out until later that they didn't give us any plates or anything, which was kind of a bummer when we got to the brewery. Either way, it's not going to blow your mind, but Mark's is a shop that makes you glad we live in NYC, and have good pizza everywhere you look.

This is a classic corner spot near two bus stops and is always busy with working folks and students and neighborhood people on their way somewhere or just having their pizza fix while watching the soccer game. I love sitting at one of the tables and just watching the scene on church and Coney Island avenues go by. It reminds me of the Brooklyn I grew up in during the 1980s, down to the Rocky paraphernalia on the walls. It's not "elevated pizza" like wheated down the street (which I also love), but it's also not trying to be that. Rocky's is its own thing entirely.

It's not the place for a long dinner or a "night out," but for what it is, quick, dependable, corner-spot pizza, it definitely gets the job done. A reliable go-to when you're craving something simple and satisfying.
