Let me begin by saying that I do not keep Kosher. I have tasted all of the great pizza in NYC, and I traveled to Menedelsohn's at the recommendation of Pete Santanello. I took the F train from Manhattan to visit Mendelsohn's and I was not disappointed. I am upset that the owner (Heshy) was not wearing a mask, nor were most patron's. The staff were all wearing mask's, and they were all very busy. I ordered two Mushroom slices and I dined outdoors. My Pizza was surprisingly good. The dough was crisp, the Mushrooms were very tasty, and there was no excess oil. I will return when the plague has ended.

Extremely unique spot to grab a slice of Kosher pie, and soak in the culture that is Borough Park. Pizza crust has a crunch I have not experienced any where else in the world! Delivering high quality food for 50 years from the same location, this establishment is still dishing out it's unique recipes for pizza, ziti, and pita. "What do you want to eat? What will you have to drink?" The cashier, pointing to the cans of pop - "You want Coke, which one? Ok, NEXT!" LOL what a fun, true New York experience. I was a big fan of the pizza - but do not be a silly gentile like me and ask for pepperoni (aye, meshuga, I know)... This is a KOSHER pizza shop, so no meat on cheese, and certainly no pork.

My boyfriend and I saw this place in a YouTube video and it looked really good. We came to visit NYC from Las Vegas and we came to try it today. It is very hard to find good pizza anywhere that's not NYC. This has to be the best pizza I've ever tried. The crust and sauce were the best part. I don't eat very large portions but I wanted another slice after I tried my first! Thank you mendelsohn's

Heshy the owner is one of the nicest guys I've ever met :) He puts his heart and soul into his restaurant. Great people and very delicious food!

I found myself in the nabe again today at lunch and popped in. I then realized this not a pizza joint but more like a midtown Manhattan lunch buffet type of place. There's a salad bar where they make your greens to order. A sushi bar (small). An ice cream counter. Then there's a 100 ft. of glass displays divided into 3 main sections: pizza, hot dishes and sides (pastas, mashed veggies, etc). I had a nice, big piece of salmon, a heaping side of pasta and a drink for $10. They aren't cranking out the best of anything, but they are cranking out huge portions of pretty good food. Especially when you consider there is little good food in this area. Really. You can go a pretty good distance in any direction and only find a few places doing a few things right. This place, on the other hand, is huge and ambitious. That said, I'm not sure if I'd bring a dinner date here as it's kinda "serve yourself." Likewise, it caters to a Kosher/Hasidic crowd so I'm still not entirely sure what is served and not. In particular, I've yet to meet a meat (bit maybe they are hidden). For veg-heads, this should be a happy place.

Whole wheat pizza with mushrooms.
Donna P.

Stoped in here to meet a client as this place is apparently known for having wholewheat pizza and abundant amount of space to sit. Was it a whole wheat? Absolutely, because it had that distinctive whole wheat flavour that is not mixed with anything else. Was it tasty? It wasn't bad...but it did not have a pizza flavour. It broke when I tried to pic it up since it had no flex to it. The mushrooms were huge, which was tasty, but it was impossible to eat it with your hands. The bottom of the dough was crisp which made it impossible to cut with the flimsy plastic knife. I found myself struggling more than enjoying. The place is clean, and service is friendly. There is a lot of sitting room. A slice of whole wheat pizza with mushrooms was $5. Would I stop by again? If you're the area than this is one of the better options for pizza. They also have a hot food bar and a salad bar. Why did I give it 4 stars? Because who really makes whole wheat pizza that is palatable. This place actually does it.

Some of there side items to go with the salmon!
Chris M.

Great spot!! .the salmon and a huge side for just ten bucks! Good quality and variety. Although not a place to bring a new date. Lots if kids. But great food and pizza. I like it!

Nothing better than pizza and milkshake for lunch!!

Pizza isn't up to par to other good spots and price is much higher. Not worth it at all.

Brooklyn stays undefeated. Went to David's Brisket House -- a Jewish deli run by Yemeni Muslims in…read morethe middle of an Afro-Caribbean neighborhood. If that's not the most Brooklyn thing ever, I don't know what is. Same sandwiches, different blessing. Everybody says order the pastrami, so I listened like a grown man should. Pastrami on rye with spicy mustard absolutely slapped. Smoky, juicy, perfectly stacked, and messy enough to ruin your shirt with honor. Then came the beef brisket on rye with a cup of au jus for dipping... and brother, that dip should be studied by scientists. Pure perfection. Washed everything down with a Dr. Brown's root beer like it was 1957. No fake trendy nonsense. No deconstructed sandwiches. Just old-school deli greatness that punches you directly in the soul. Great food doesn't care where you come from -- it just brings everybody to the same table. That's New York. That's Brooklyn.

Wowowowowowow! Wow. I'm floored. I don't normally ever like brisket (which as an American is weird,…read moreI know!) by God did I love this place! The bread is sweet and tasty too. Our combination (we got the triple combo sandwich!) came with a side of au jus and our choice of condiments. Their Mayo is really good. Tastes like kewpie Mayo which is the best Mayo on planet Earth. Service was friendly, kind, and fast too. We got our sandwich within 5-7 minutes of ordering. They've got ample seating and weren't busy on a Wednesday evening. The establishment is clean and has nice decor too. Feels like a classic deli with a clean aesthetic but not too modern or gentrified.
