Supposed to be a veggie pizza with some kind of meat on it did not like it at all
Roro B.

Kinda disgusted with them TODAY. My son went and got some slices 2 were with sausage and two were supp osed to be veggie. Didn't like the presentation of the sausage and the veggie was not good at all. I was so hyped about getting thia all week and the veggie had some type of meet on it I gave it to my dog because she eats anything and I couldn't describe it SMH

two slices of pizza and a drink

​I stopped by here for lunch and ended up getting a couple of square slices. I thought they were ok and nothing great. The crust had a nice crunch to it. It's pizza but nothing special. Cash only. The place is clean and there is plenty of seating.

Regular Slices

This Pizza shop is a neighborhood staple. It's been around since my childhood. This is the go to pizza spot I'm Canarsie. There's metered parking available and it's accessible by MTA public transportation nearby. The service is quick they'll greet you and get your order right all the time. It's a family dinner business too. I usually get my pizza to go. The pizza is very good. The sauce is tasty and robust. The crust is thin and the pizza has an overall great traditional NY flavor to it. Check out this spot when you're in the area

Oblong Pepperoni Pie

This is your neighborhood pizzeria with tons of history and a gem to those who grew up in the area. I LOVE pizza and this is Babes' favorite spot to order pizza from in Canarsie. So I'm a fan of the garlic knots and artificial "pineapple drink" which always hit the spot for me. Unfortunately, everything else isn't as consistently good. Solid slices with decent sauce and a good amount of cheese but always taste like they are missing something. If you are in the area, have extra cash to spare and want to seat down for a quick slice then definitely stop by. The service is prompt. Price point is on the high side for a pizzeria. I will be back and continue to try something new in hopes that something on the menu will truly knocked my socks off.

My husband grew up eating this pizza as a child. We love returning for slices and reminiscing about his youth growing up in Canarasie. We have now taken both of our sons back whenever we return for a trip to explore the city. The neighborhood has changed but it's awesome to see this pizzeria thriving all these years. It's honestly a gem and true NYC-style pizza. Their freshly made mozzarella and marinara are the best

The best damn Sicilian I have ever had
Alexander R.

Every time my travels bring me to Canarsie in Brooklyn I make it a point to stop by Original Pizza of Canarsie. It is by far the best pizza around. I hear of places that claim to have the best pizza and after I try them I realize nobody beats this place. But forget about the pizza for a minute, the Sicilian and the grandma slices are even better. They are both so good you can eat the whole pie. The Sicilian is flaky and crunchy and has the best crust I have ever had. Not the big wad of dough that you get in most places. Every time I come I'm torn between the two, so I have to get both. They are stupendous!

Waiting for our slices
Shirrell H.

So this is def the best pizza in Canarsie. I've been coming here for over 10 years. The slices have been pretty consistent. A tiny bit too oily for me but I still eat it. The garlic knots are yummy. They're always busy but the wait time isnt bad. Plenty of seats and tables to choose from if you want to dine in.

This place is cash only. I was in the neighborhood for the weekend and my friend told me about the chicken rolls here. Really tasty pockets of chicken parm+ cheese with good flavors. The prices and menu items they have online are not reflected in the store, so coming in, you might not get what you expect. Call ahead. Kind of expensive for what it is, but I enjoyed the pizza dough and the cheese.

Abigail B.

Best pizza in canarsie. Penne a la vodka is really good too along with the grilled chicken ceasar salad. Always good service. I vome here about every other week. Only complaint is that its crazy expensive. But thats the price you pay for really good food.

Wow. This is a review of Di Fara frozen pizza from Target. More specifically, Di Fara frozen pizza…read morefrom the Target Store in Richfield, Minnesota location. I tried looking up this pizza from Target Richfield for a review, but it sent me to the NYC location, so forgive me if this review is in the wrong thread. Anyway, wow. I've been to New York City and ate at the original Joe's Pizza. What an epic slice of pizza. Now back home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the great white north of snow that never ends, I finally tried the frozen Di Fara pepperoni pizza from Target no less. Sorry Joe's, but this is on par with your pizza (if it was frozen). Dave Portnoy was right with his high review. This pizza is very good. The thick cut pepperoni, great basil, and the crisp chewy crust was excellent for a frozen pizza. Nice under carriage as well. I cooked the pizza at 480 degrees in an electric pizza oven for 10 minutes, and the result was very good. I added a drizzle of hot honey, and it was spectacular (okay, I also added some fresh picked jalapeños as well). The pizza was hot and melted in the center, and the crust was very crisp, but still had some chew. Wow. This was the best frozen pizza I have had. Bar none. New York, you spoiled me when it came to pizza. Now I can get a taste of New York at home. Great job! I may or may not eat the last 3 pieces currently sitting in the fridge before bed.

Used to come frequently when Dom was alive. Watching him make a pizza was a true art form. He had…read moregrace, discipline, and love. He would pull the pans with his bear hand out of the oven and generously drizzle olive oil from a rustic copper container over every pie. He would then meticulously inspect the dough for bubbles. Then pop back in the oven for the imported olive oil to permeate and create a beautiful glistening coat. And once cooked he would then graciously cut basil on top of the pie. Dom has now passed but his legacy continues. I've always compared the then pie vs now. And like most things,, nothing beats the original. This is still a very good slice. I once rated them as the best in NYC. Unfortunately, its not at the very top but still on the podium. Coming back feels like you are saying hello to an old friend. If you haven't been, you have to try at least once.

We ordered a whole pie half plain and half pepperoni, which is only $2.50 more. What I notice right away is the zesty tomato sauce, which Has love. However, I must admit that the crust was a bit too hard for my taste. Yes! It was crispy, but biting through it was somewhat difficult. Overall a good slice, but maybe the dough was off a bit that day. Regardless, Luigi's Pizza is an institution and I will be back again next time I'm in the area. Hopefully, I get a great slice like the ones I remember from the past.

The Sicilian square "features a crispy crust, pillow-soft dough in the center, and is uniquely assembled with mozzarella cheese on the bottom and a rich tomato sauce on top". We call it the inverted pizza slice because sauce ideally is on the bottom and mozzarella cheese bubbling on top. I visited L and B for my pizza chest on a really sunny summer like day last week and waited on line, yes, on a Wednesday afternoon there was a line.. I went up to the window and placed my order and waited ten minutes more for a fresh out of the oven pie to come out. I was asked which corner of this gorgeous pizza universe I wanted.

This location only sold vegan options in full pies and their other DOP Fast Life location does sell vegan slices, but they didn't try to push me to buy.

I do regret that I ate it cold after driving 30 minutes to pick it up so I did not get the full experience. But the crust was still crunchy. I do wish the toppings were a little heavier but the tomato chunks in the sauce tasted very fresh. A very classic New York style pizza and I couldn't even tell it wasn't real cheese.

Fresh mozzarella, a nicely thin crisped crust, sweet tomato sauce, and fresh basil makes this simple pizza taste great. The fried calamari also impressed. It tasted notably fresh--light, clean, and not overly chewy like pre-frozen versions can sometimes be. While I can't say for certain, it had that just-prepared quality that makes a difference. The Caprese salad was a great way to start the meal, with fresh tomatoes, creamy burrata, and a balsamic drizzle was a nice light start. The atmosphere leans old-school Italian, which adds to the charm and character. Service was fine--nothing remarkable, but no major issues either. That said, my overall rating takes a big hit solely for the restaurants ridiculous tipping policy choices rather than the food itself. The automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill was frustrating. The menu does indicate that 18%, will automatically apply, or will be 20% for parties of six or more. We were only three people, so it felt inconsistent and unnecessary. On top of that, the added cost for credit card usage didn't help. I don't mind tipping for good service! In fact, I tip well--but I prefer having the choice and I'm old school so it's the principle of the matter. Being forced into it, takes away from an otherwise enjoyable meal. Bottom line: the food is strong and worth trying, but the billing practices leave a bad taste. If those were adjusted, this could easily be a higher-rated experience.
