    Large pie for $16.00
    J. R.

    Pros: Two star for fast local delivery and low cost for $16 pie. ... Cons: Rude owners and workers. ONLY CASH! The pizza is tasteless with very little sauce. Seems like Low quality mozzarella. Crust is hard to chew with no wow factor. No masks or gloves are worn by any employees or the owners. Rude in person/ phone demeanor. Didn't take my order properly; delivered improper order.

    What's that familiar scent? We followed our nose (with mask on of course) to this pizzeria. The doors and windows were wide opened so we decided to give it a try during our walk. Ordered a slice for 2.75 and it was okay. They were generous on the cheese and the sauce was sweet but the crust and dough overall was very flimsy and bland. When he tried to fold the slice in half, it broke and everything was sliding off the slice and onto the plate.

    Large pepperoni pie cost $23.

    Great pies,friendly service, and old fashioned pizzeria. Counter service with walk up window. Nothing fancy.

    Was in the neighborhood errands and craved pizza. Decided to come check this place out because it was the closest one. From the pizza on display. We decided to go with the margarita slice and a regular square pizza. To my surprise the margarita slice was full of flavor. The square slice was average.

    I stopped here for a quick slice before a meeting. As a first time visitor to NYC, this place hits all the marks for a great pizza place. All of The slices are fresh. They had 4 or 5 different kinds. I am guessing none of the pies were more than 20 mins. old. I had a slice of White and a slice of Margherita, both were great. Prices were good too. I think two slices and an drink was $13. Pizza Den is just one of thousands of pizza places that give NYC such a great reputation for pizza.

    First off, when I arrived, a guy was on his phone texting and then proceeded to pick up two slices of pizza without gloves on to warm up (fun fact: the saying "phones have more germs and bacteria than toilets" is highly accurate). Nonetheless, I've been here multiple times before this and the service was wonderful. Next time, I will just be cautious and request someone with CLEAN HANDS. As for the person who commented on the lukewarm pizza, I don't know what you're talking about. My slices were still hot after I got home. Granted, I didn't eat them, but the paper bag was hot. I'm genuinely disappointed because I was starving but did not want to consume a bunch of germs. Based on prior experiences, the pizza is crispy, greasy, and cheesy - everything you want in a slice. The sauce is robust and delicious. If it wasn't for the service, I would have given five stars.

    Mmmmm mmmm good!

    Just came off of 14 hour shift hungry and tired. I called the pizza den and asked them if they can have a pie ready for me at 12:30 when I would be heading home and he said absolutely.when I showed up my pizza was just coming out of the oven and it smelled marvelous. I don't know what's with all the bad reviews but I love this place. The owner is actually very nice. Maybe people don't understand his personality. As far as the food, everything I've ever ordered from here has been delicious. So glad they're only a few blocks away from my apartment too!

    I lived across the street from this place for 28 years, i'm not being bias because of that i'm being honest when i say it's some of the best pizza in New York. John and Sal have been working there forever and stay open until the last slice is sold (which can literally be 4am on weekends). I know the ovens they use are part of why it's so good, but i can't say i know the rest of their secrets... The absolute two best slices they have are the fresh mozzarella and thre "white" slice, which is covered the mozarella and ricotta cheese. I prefer the square slices to the triangles. Their "special" rice balls are also amazing which are sliced open and stuffed with extra cheese and sauce. I might have eaten over 150 chicken rolls from Pizza Den in my lifetime, sprinkle a little crushed red pepper and you'll have me floating! Prices are reasonable considering how much the cost of pizza has increased over the past few years but a regular slice is still $2.25. They also have an old fruit punch/grapeade fountain that's probably been running longer than i've been on this earth! There is a small sitting area in the back but it's better to sit on a stool up front and catch all the action, there's always a bunch of characters walking by because it's right by a busy bus stop and also the D train. If you are ever in the 18th avenue area of Bensonhurst you should stop by and eat at a bare bones Brooklyn pizza joint that is absolutely delicious and represents what this neighborhood is all about.

    Squishy, floppy, and sad. $5.50 for 2 slices

Waiting in line to get added to a waitlist that still doesn't always guarantee you will sit down to eat at the requested time - we were seated 40 mins after checking in (unusually long, never had more then 20 mins or so in past visits) but still a strange system, keeps the spot exclusive I'd guess. Have visited several times and always have had a good meal and the prices are very fair. Seating is not super comfortable and they pack you in for real, the restaurant is also unnecessarily dark and loud - But not in a bad way? I can't explain it but the very delicious pizza makes up for the weird ambiance and all the rules... definitely something to experience atleast once.

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.

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.

    Brooklyn DOP is a prime example of what happens when a pandemic lockdown, a dough obsession, and an…read moreinability to sit still all collide. We visited as a stop on Scott's Pizza Bus Tour, which meant we were actively evaluating it against some of the best pizza in the city. Evaluating pizza on a tour is tricky because excellence becomes relative when you are eating multiple high-end pies in a single afternoon. According to Scott, Brooklyn DOP began in founder Thomas Ardito's apartment during the 2020 lockdowns. With his primary work on pause, he started baking pizza and selling pies through Instagram to pay his rent. People kept ordering. His friend Jason D'Amelio joined the effort, and what started as an apartment project turned into pop-ups and eventually a brick-and-mortar shop on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. That is a considerably more compelling origin story than a corporate franchise business plan. The setup in Park Slope includes a quiet back courtyard, which offered a comfortable spot for our group to sit, eat, and recover between stops. It feels relaxed and distinctly Brooklyn without trying too hard to remind you where you are. The pizza itself is very good. The crust strikes a proper balance between a crisp bottom and a chewy interior. The toppings are handled with care, from the crushed tomatoes to the fresh mozzarella. This is dough crafted by people who take fermentation seriously rather than relying on pre-packaged shortcuts. On its own merits, the pizza is a solid 4.5 stars. Unfortunately for Brooklyn DOP, it was competing on a tour against places operating on another plane. It is an excellent pie, but it was not the single slice that caused the entire tour to fall silent in collective awe. Still, that is an aggressive standard to hold against any local shop. Brooklyn DOP offers a great courtyard, a serious approach to dough, and a standout product. Landing just shy of five stars says far more about the sheer volume of elite pizza we ate that day than it does about the shop itself. Four stars. And if you are not spending the afternoon riding around New York with Scott Wiener eating pizza at some of the finest pizza joints the 5 boroughs have to offer, you can probably bump that half-star back up.
