"Nino's Pizza, a cherished staple in the heart of Bay Ridge for decades, epitomizes the warmth and tradition of a family-owned business. Rooted in rich history, our pizzeria has been serving the community with authentic, mouth-watering pizzas that not only tantalize taste buds but also bring families together. At Nino's, we're more than just a pizza place; we're a symbol of enduring legacy and the timeless joy of shared meals." There are times when I am craving pizza and just have to have it. I've written before when it comes to pizza, I travel to other parts of Brooklyn. I am still searching for a really good Bay Ridge pizza joint. That will be a future Yelp discovery journey... for now, after living in Bay Ridge for over 20 years, I have passed Nino's Pizza numerous times. They offer calzones. Pasta, salads and other options. I decided to try the slice, ordered it and ate it at home. Have to say, pretty good, tasty cheese and sauce, I would try again. Not bad for a neighborhood joint. read more

One of my favorite grandma slice in Brooklyn! It's thin and packed with flavors, makes a nice snack or meal ! The garlic knots pepperoni is another favorite slider of mine. I would skip on the pepperoni and magherita slice . Overall friendly staff and it's tax free if you pay cash. read more

Great little pizza place in bay ridge. Great location and nice menu options to choose from. Their grandma pie is super thin and crispy. Very good pizza read more

Grandma, and plain slices are fabulous. The entrees look great, as did the garlic knots. Spinach rolls are great. Place is spotless, and the entire staff couldn't be nicer. Parking can be a challenge. Worth the trip, if you don't live in the area. Can't wait to try their entrees and garlic knots read more

Sauce was very good. Pizza dough was a little tough. My wife couldn't even chew it. I heard so much about it so I wanted to give it a try cause I like thin crust pizza I just didn't like that it was it came cold and tough. read more

Great slice, parking isn't the easiest but would definitely return. Service was fast.

I ordered the Ravioli with cheese and the meal was good, no real complaints about it. My complaint would be more about the delivery driver who was adamant I left no tip when I did update it on the grubhub app shortly after I ordered. After I corrected the driver and said I did it on the app he continued to say I didn't and stated he will tell whoever that I don't tip. Why am I going back and forth with the delivery driver? I have no clue? Highly unprofessional, will not be ordering here again 3 stars for the food, 0 for the customer service. read more

My favorite pizza in Brooklyn. Plain is the best to me, especially when it's a fresh whole pie. Grand Mama is my second favorite. Everything else is great, too. read more

Ordered a Chicken Roll on multiple occasions & the staff was not wearing gloves & was picking up the roll to cut it & put in the to go bag with their BARE HANDS. No idea why they think thats acceptable. Other establishments make their staff wear gloves and not touch peoples food with their bare hands. read more

Quite literally the best Grandma slice I've ever had and it's not even close. Perfectly crispy, insanely flavorful. My friend from Philly visits often, and getting a Grandma pie from here is non-negotiable every time. This is the only true Grandma slice in Brooklyn, most places are just serving square margheritas, but this one is the real deal. The garlic knots are excellent too, the Sofia Loren slice is a must try, and the staff are genuinely kind and welcoming. Hands down my go-to pizzeria in Bay Ridge. read more

Was in the mood for a good ole Brooklyn pizzeria so I took the R Train from the Union stop just to check out this place in Bay Ridge. Worth the trip! More than just the usual plain cheese slice, I was automatically drawn to the Spinach Roll (next to the Eggplant Roll) and couldn't stop there. I threw in some Garlic Knots and my order was quickly heated in their oven. Clean and orderly, we found a table with plenty of napkins. Food was delicious and the sauce was boss. Stop by and check out their selection of sandwiches too! read more

Oh nooo! Back to one star! They sell off the old slices as the fresh come out of the oven for waiting customers. Manager calls out the number of the old slices that get served by old age. Not workers fault. Booo! read more

This place is under rattttted very delicious pizza the meatballs could feed up to four people I wasn't even able to finish half the plate. and the spaghetti is fresh. How ever the squares are average The place needs to master the squares. read more

Absolutely the BEST grandma pizza in NYC. It's perfect...thin, with their delicious sauce and drizzled with a little pesto. All of Nino's pizzas are amazing. I highly recommend their Chicken Ceasar Pizza. This pizza has no sauce...it's literally crust with caesar salad, grilled chicken and shaved parmesan cheese. The crust has sesame seeds...what a treat! It's a different pizza, but it's out of this world. I cannot recommend Nino's pizza enough. It's definitely underrated because their pizza and pasta is one of the best in the entire city. read more

Omg found this place through TikTok and it's a pleasant surprise. My nieces and I truly enjoyed the food. I ordered sausage and peppers hero with sauce on the side. The flavor of the sausage and the sauce was chef's ! Also ordered baby pizza, and parmigiana sandwich and it was also amazingly delicious. I need to order a vat of sauce lol, I can't wait to go back. The owner also gave my niece two small pies comp for her large order. A very warm and friendly place to go. You should definitely go check it out! read more

I've revised my review for Nino's from a 5-star rating to a 4-star. When I had first enjoyed (...and I will never NOT "Enjoy") Nino's Pizza, my impression was that it could use a pinch of salt, and when I say "it", I'm referring to everything; the plain pie, the grandma's pie, the knots and the few other things we've tried. I placed blame of the "imperfection" on myself and chalked it up to my preference for saltier pizza (which was news to me but yanno - Every seven years your taste is supposed to change, so maybe that's what was going on?) ‍ The random day came when we took the suggestion of a neighbor and ordered from a different pizzeria (I won't mention that other restaurant's name in *this* review but if you click my 'Yelp Name' and scroll through my reviews, you'll find it). The pizza from the competing restaurant was precisely how I prefer, and in no way "salty". The slightest bit of additional salt in the competitors sauce allowed a showcase of flavors to POP! Sweetness shared the stage with the acidity present in the tomato sauce. At Nino's, unfortunately the acidity in the tomato sauce steals the show. Basil, onion, garlic - all meld beautifully within the sauce from that extra pinch of salt. At Nino's - the onion and garlic don't get a chance to sweat their flavors into the tomatoes. It's a shame. Crushing how such a tiny attribute could disrupt the potential of perfection that is Nino's. Regardless, Nino's is delicious, that won't change. Unfortunately, I prefer a different pizza restaurant, now. read more

I've hit about every pizza place in Brooklyn. This is one of my top places. The grandmas is killer. Super crisp. The garlic knots... chicken rolls... you need to check this place out. Great hole in the wall pizza place. I make it a point to stop every time I'm in NYC. Get out of manhattan... take the Italian hajj on that R train... get down where it all started. Right in the middle of 3rd ave, Bay Ridge, so many other bars and shops to make it a trip. read more

The overall rating of this pizzeria is spot on. 3.5/5 is the right rating. Like that is what I would give it myself if I could. The location is sublime, but I will get to the pizza first. The pizza is a bit on the chewy side, but the tomato sauce comes through in a nice, beautiful, red sauce. It is a cheesy slice, so it helped that I purchased a Ginger Ale with it. The owner (very friendly man by the way) told me he likes to put a lot of cheese on his slices - the white slice I ordered had four kinds of cheese on it! The crust? It needed some more time in the oven. But overall it is a solid slice in a solid neighborhood. This pizzeria is in a quiet part of Brooklyn, Bay Ridge. It is quaint, with nobody to hassle you in any way. I also found the people there very nice and friendly. While reading the reviews for Nino's, I noted that the Verrazzano Bridge is right near the pizzeria; if you walk a few blocks up, take a bench and enjoy your pizza. That is exactly what I did, I walked up to the waterfront with my purchase, took a bench, and ate my slices as the sun set behind the Verrazzano Bridge on such a glorious day. As the sun is setting for me in Brooklyn for my search for the best pizza slice in New York City, I do not think Nino's has the best slice in the city. However, Nino's is perfect for that perfect day to watch a perfect sunset in a pretty perfect location, despite its imperfections. read more

I love this place. Have been coming since I was a kid. My favorite is the grandma slice. Consistent most of the time. Best pizzeria in the area if you ask me read more

I am extremely disappointed with the customer service I received. I placed an order for two large pies for delivery. My home is only one street away from the pizza place, so the distance is minimal. When I called to place the order, I was told the total would be $44. When the delivery driver arrived, I gave him $45. He initially said the total was $45, which I did not question and paid without issue. However, after I handed him the $45, he appeared confused and repeated the amount. I confirmed that I was giving him what he had stated. At that point, he turned to my cousin and told him to give him $50 instead. His tone noticeably changed, and the interaction became uncomfortable. When I told him he would be taking the $45, he asked if I was not going to tip him. I responded that tipping is not mandatory. He replied sarcastically, saying "Oh really?" and continued making inappropriate comments before leaving. I then called the restaurant and spoke with the manager. Instead of addressing the driver's unprofessional behavior, I was told that the driver is "losing gas" and that I should have paid him more. While I typically do tip, tipping is optional, and it is inappropriate to pressure or shame a customer for not doing so especially when the delivery location is literally one street away. Additionally, what if I was not financially stable and truly did not have extra money to give him? No customer should be made to feel pressured, judged, or uncomfortable for not providing a tip, especially when tipping is optional. This entire experience was unprofessional and unacceptable. I am very dissatisfied with how this situation was handled. read more

They have great food and a large selection their fettuccine Alfredo is the best in the neighborhood, chicken garlic knots delicious, their buffalo chicken pizza is also delicious the staff are courteous and friendly I would recommend Ninos pizzeria with no doubt about it bravo men read more

Best grandma slice in NYC, hands down! The owner is incredibly kind and involved in the day-to-day of the business. The frozen grandma slices are a lifesaver--perfect for nights when you just want to stay in or when the restaurant is closed. Absolutely love Nino's! read more

There was a man standing, literally as you walk in leaning over the counter without a mask, and no one was saying anything so I did. They allowed him to stand around and touch things, as well as lean over the counter WITHOUT A MASK. And again, no one said anything. Then the guy making pizza and such had his mask pulled down almost the entire time I was inside. There are plenty of other good pizza spots, in bay ridge at the same price point. Side note: I wasn't a fan of their pizza, but wanted to try again to support a local spot. YIKES. read more

never got food, they forgot to do my order. I waited 1 hour and a half. then I called and they were not apologetic. read more

Their grandma pie is my favorite! The tomato tastes fresh and delicious the crust is nice and thin! One of the best grandma pies I have ever tasted! A definite when in Brooklyn read more

Horrible first and last time ordering from here. I waited over one hour and half for pizza to be delivered. And the pizza is cold.

This is the sister store to the famous Lenny's from Bensonhurst. An amazing choice of different styles of pizzas at this Bayridge location. The place is always busy the take-out usually has 3 to 5 patrons ordering or picking up. They have tables in the back if you want to sit down and enjoy your pizza. Again, the variety of pizzas and other Italian foods is amazing. Make this a stop if you are in Bayridge, you won't be sorry. read more

The food is always fresh, service is good. They have a great Grandma pie, thin crust, fresh garlic, it is delicious! We take out all the time. read more

Best grandma pizza ever!!Thats the only thing I order there but with the best pizza places in NY this one is my favorite for grandma pizza!

Good slice, the grandma pie is their specialty. Great spot to pick up a slice on the go.

So this used to be my go-to pizza place. They were always kind and delivered on time. I moved residences (still in the neighborhood) and I don't know what the change was but they've become total douche bags. One time I ordered online and it never arrived...... Tried again another time to give another chance.... weather was cloudy. It snowed couple days prior, cold. And they called me and gave me an ultimatum of increasing my tip to more than 20% due to the "inclement weather" (it was CLOUDY. there was no inclement weather. No snow or rain. Just past snow from a few days prior) or told me to cancel my order. So I canceled my order. Idk what the heck happened to this place but there's many pizza spots in bay ridge. Ya quickly gonna run out of business if u continue to act like this. read more

I've been eating and enjoying pizza for over 40 years. I've been called a "pizza snob" for at least 20 and I've been reviewing pizza across the USA for about 5 years now. Why is this important? Because Nino's is the penultimate Brooklyn slice for me and I have used them as my metric by which all other pizza is compared. I first came to Nino's in 1986 on a Friday night with some friends and I've been coming back since. Though much more sporadically as I live over 1,000 miles away now. But still, this slice is fantastic and worth going out of your way for if you are near Bay Ridge Brooklyn. Ok, enough about me and onto the pizza!! Here's what you need to know: 1. The pizza crust is cooked to perfection. It's not burnt and definitely not undercooked. Just well done all the way through. Each bite requires a bit of a tear so your jaw will get a bit of a workout, but when you're done you'll know you just had a great slice. Nino's crust is just the right flavor, not overpowered with salt or bland like nothing. Many slices use too much salt to give you an artificial sense of good taste. Nino's is dialed in perfectly. 2. The sauce has just the right blend of Italian herbs and seasoning to enhance the slice without overpowering the tomato flavoring. The sauce penetrates into the crust but never through it to make it soggy. It's well balanced and not overkill on the sweet or savory. 3. The cheese must come from some magical pizza cheese factory because it's always great! Accompanied with the right amount of oil that you'll need a napkin or two but not enough to wreak your digestive system even if you over indulge as I tend to do when here.... Putting this all together, Nino's is the culmination of all my years searching and comparing only to come back to where it all began so many years ago. If I judge others too harshly it's because this is what I think about when I try pizza elsewhere. read more

Nino's Pizza - Yes, I bought multiple slices and yes I ate most of them in the car. Nino's is one of my all time favorites... - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Avoid their meatballs! I ordered a meatball parm hero, and it was completely inedible. Each bite was a mouthful of grizzle. Utterly disgusting. I was forced to throw it out. What a waste of money. They should be ashamed of themselves. read more

I was in Bay Ridge with some friends a couple months ago and they told me that I HAD to go to Nino's because they had the best garlic knots in the city. Now, I love garlic knots so I'm skeptical af like, 'yeah, sure, okay.' I stand here now to tell you, Nino's has the best garlic knots in the mf'ing city. In all of Brooklyn and in all of the five boroughs, I have eaten garlic knots. They are my favorite thing to get at a pizza joint. I grabbed four at Nino's and was like 'WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING!' They are really, really good. The flavor is phenomenal, they're fluffy, and they're stuffed with garlic. I had: -a slice of Grandma (good consistency and flavor) -four garlic knots (oh my god) -one of the garlic knot 'sandwiches' that's sliced with a piece of mozzarella and a pepperoni stuffed inside (oh my god plus) While I took my treats to go, there was some seating available. Plus, they had some ice cream they'll serve you out of their front window. This is truly a Brooklyn institution and a real, honest to god pizza joint. Pro tip: they are $Cash Only$ Don't forget that (like I did), because you'll be really sad if you miss out on these noms. read more

From the perspective of having had pizza at so many places, looking at the surrounding competition, you expect a slice to be up to par. This pizza is good, New York pizza for sure, but it's what I'm used to. If you need a regular slice, you can get a decent slice here, like you can anywhere else. Now for everything else. What surprised me, and off the bat guarantees my return, are the other items they have lined up in the glass counter. I saw things like garlic knot chicken sandwiches, great looking garlic knots, I mean we had a pie coming and still tried a grandma slice and a beef pattie with cheese. Now this here, this part is what separates them from just any run of the mill pizza. That being said, I plan to return with a second review after trying the many items they have available. read more

Margherita pizza is good on the plus side on the negative side place is small with no ambiance & yesterday the person that took my order when I got there was extremely rude & racist. When I asked for official receipt was even asking why I need a receipt, like duh??? He grudgingly gave me one after I insisted he gave me official receipt after I paid it. Then he told me to get out of there. So racist & rude!!! I will NEVER come back there to buy pizza. I rate this pizza place below zero based on my experience. I recommend to try other pizza places around where the servers are pleasant & have manners. I hope that the owner reads this review so they can be better. Terrible customer service!!! read more

Hands down best thin grandma slice! My boyfriend is from Boston and when he visited Brooklyn i absolutely had to take him to ninos as I've been eating it for 15 years. He freaked out. He ate four slices and went back the next day for a few more. A must try if you're in Brooklyn! read more

I stopped by Nino's for a quick slice. There was a great assortment of pizzas. This was my first time there, so I wanted to try their classic cheese slice. There wasn't anything about it that really stood out to me... it was a pretty good standard slice. It was a little too cheesy and oily for me. The oil was not dripping all over my hands or on the plate, but you can see a healthy layer of it on top of the pizza and I tasted it in my mouth. There were also other items like garlic knots and rice balls. The garlic knots looked like huge dinner rolls. They also had some creative sandwiches with garlic knot buns. The cheese slice was not worth $3... Your money will be better spent on their specialty slices or their other items. read more

Nino's Pizza - Regular cheese slice - $3.00 - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Well I'm not sure what to say now I always liked the pizza here and it was my go to when I was running errands to stop and get a slice but when I was in there last week I didn't see any staff I recognized and the guy who took my order couldn't have been less friendly if he tried. No hello, I just told him what I wanted and he put it in the oven. No thank you nothing. Then when I realized the slice was on a small little plate as I was walking out the door I saw the slice was half the size of what I've been getting there for years. It tasted the same but at $3.50 I expect to get a full slice not a kiddie portion. I've been asking around to see if the place changed hands but I can't seem to find out. Anyone else have any idea because down sizing on slices in NYC is a sure fire way to go out of business. read more
