If New York-style pizza had a summer home, it'd be right here. Pizza Time doesn't just serve great kosher pizza, it serves great pizza, full stop. Every slice feels like it's straight out of a Brooklyn corner joint, except the vibe is pure local chaos (in the best way). Couple of things you should know before you fall in love: it's cash only, it's always packed, and parking around here is tough. But once you're inside, you'll forget all that. Judah, the owner, runs the place like a pizza-loving mayor, he somehow knows everyone and keeps the whole operation humming. The pizza itself? Unreal. The crust has that perfect crunch-to-chew ratio, the sauce tastes like it's been quietly perfected over generations, and the cheese hits the sweet spot -- melty, flavorful, and not swimming in oil. The Grandma slice deserves its own fan club. Order it. Then order another. Pro tip: grab fries -- half Cajun, half regular -- and dunk them in that tomato sauce. It's a spiritual experience. The baked ziti is also a sleeper hit: golden edges, saucy middle, perfectly cheesy chaos. Give it 20 minutes to cook; it's worth every second. Long story short: Pizza Time is messy, loud, legendary, and completely worth it. Just bring cash and a big appetite, because you'll be back. read more

Guy at the counter is disgusting. I got this app just to say this about him. I walk in with my friends and this guy is looking at me with the most disgusting look for no apparent reason. We are deciding on what to get and I ask if they take card he's giving the worst attitude, and tells me if I'm not ready then get outta line. He proceeds to make it like I'm not there as I'm trying to order. He then takes the guy behind me to get his order instead. I'd never go to this place again, and I believe this guys the owner. Someone who treats a customer like this is a lowlife and the dirt at the bottom of my shoe. Disgusting. read more

I came to visit my brother in Brooklyn and stopped by Pizza Time to grab a slice before driving back home. From the start, the man working the counter was so friendly and helpful in picking the best slices to try. He explained that all the slices were kosher. I ended up ordering a cheesy crust slice and a pasta slice. Both slices came out of the oven piping hot while being thin and crispy. Exceptional quality and taste! The restaurant has enough seating and is clean. It is like any other pizzeria with bench seats, condiments at every table, and red trays to eat off of. There is a bathroom right in the front as well. Parking may be difficult to find because there is only street parking. read more

Pizza Time - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Hands-down, some of the best kosher pizza I've had outside of Chicago! Different types of pizza and all of them flavorful! The fries were excellent. More than all of that, however, was the proprietor Judah. He made the experience a lot of fun and worth the drive from New Jersey! read more

It's okay the pizza not bad Frenn fries it's good. The only thing I did not like about it is they did not care who was in the line they just whoever says yes so they took them. I understood this before the holidays but I'm so not used to carrying cash with me After I order everything. He told me. We don't take credit cards. I left my kids in the pizza store, I went out to the ATM and I had to come back. It took me almost 40 minutes to find parking. read more

"One bite, everyone knows the Shul." Who would have thought a kosher pizza joint in Midwood, literally down the street from an iconic pizza joint in Di Fara, would be just as good as they are? That is hard to believe, but it is true. For a fraction of the price, you get a terrific tasting slice. The cheese and sauce marry up well. The crust is crispy from the first bite to the last, and there are enough herbs on this slice to keep you going, but it does not overwhelm the slice. I liked this slice so much, I went back up to the counter and ordered another. I guess I also wanted to prove my first slice was no fluke. It was not. My second slice proved to be just as up to the task as the first slice. To contrast, I ordered a Grandma slice, while it just might be their square, it is almost as perfect as it gets. The crust is crispy, the cheese has the perfect saltiness. The sauce has a nice acidic flavor, but does not take it over. Overall, nice square. For $3.75 (cash only), I was not expecting much. But after I took the first bite, and a kid no older than 16 or 17 said to me, "Best pizza in the game." He is not far off; the photo of Barstool visiting this pizzeria and giving it a high score seals the fate for this underrated and overlooked slice. When I was done eating, I personally got up and thanked the owner for such an amazing experience. I think he was touched to hear this. The pleasant, not overbearing Orthodox music adds some character to this restaurant, as does the charismatic owner and the usual cast of regular kids and adults alike all eating this pizza that deserves all the accolades Di Fara receives. Be careful Di Fara! These folks are not putzing around. read more

Pizza Time - So good, I ordered another! - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

As you can see I started eating before I even got to take a pic. I was just pizza skipping in mid wood and stumbled in here. From the moment I walked in my server was so friendly and welcoming, he definitely changed my mood to a better one. I set my eyes on this slice not even knowing that it had a cheese filled crust to die for. From the cheesy topping pulling with every bite and the flavorful sauce this pizza parlor stole my heart. Fully stocked with different fountain drinks. Very neat and clean with plenty of seating. I'll definitely be coming back to this one. Right off the Q train avenue J some really good pizza. read more

First bite into a slice and you're taken into the streets of Sicily. This pizza is by far the best I've had in Brooklyn, or all of NYC. It's authentic d'italiano all the way. Thank you pizza time for raising the bar, and gifting us brooklynites with such high quality, delicious food. The service is great too. Same faces since they opened. Like family- or I should say - cosanostra .. yes, walking into pizza time feels like walking into an Italian grandmas kitchen. Bon apetite! read more

We were in the area to try the competition down the street. While waiting for them to open, we took a walk to find a bathroom and came across Pizza Time! They didn't let me use the bathroom but we found a hidden gem!!! We were intrigued by kosher pizza and decided on a plain sicilan and fresh tomato slice. Both slices were freshly made with top quality ingredients. Each bite was light and airy with a slight crunch. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations but actually preferred Pizza Town over Di fara. Pizza Time should be included in the lists of best pizza of NYC. read more

I'll start with the truth. We came to Brooklyn to knock DiFara off the pizza bucket list. We were looking everywhere on the block for a bathroom for my gf. We got to the corner and decided to try the pizzeria on the corner. No luck with the bathroom. But we landed here for a reason!! The pizza looked good so we got a square and a fresh tomato slice. This next statement may blow the minds of many.... but the slices from Pizza Time were the highlight of our day. The guys down the block get all the praise and accolades but I would come back to this part of Brooklyn and go straight to Pizza Time. The square was crispy, light and airy, and flavorful. Same for the tomato slice. You can tell they use quality ingredients and the end result tastes like it was made with love. If you grew up in this neighborhood you are blessed with some A1 pizza. My gf and I both liked Pizza Time better than DiFara. There I said it! Don't believe me? Go and ENJOY!!! read more

Pizza Time - Delicious pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

First time I've ever had kosher pizza in my life and I have to say the slice I had today was very yummy. I ordered a stuffed crust slice with some fries on the side. The pizza was cheesy with the right amount of sauce, baked where it was crunchy on the outside yet fluffy inside. Fries were seasoned and really good too read more

Great pizza great food. Place is clean They treat you nicely. One of the best kosher pizza pleases In The City. read more

DiFara was closed. Oy. Pizza Time is among a little neighborhood of shops and restaurants catering to the large Hasidic Jewish population. We enjoyed this area -- very safe and interesting part of Brooklyn. The women are dressed very modestly and we were happy that we didn't stand out too much with our jeans and t-shirts. It mush have been a school day because the streets and shops were filled with adolescents. Anyway. We were tired, hot, and starved. Pizza Time was jammed packed. We got a look of the New York style pizza and were impressed -- everything was vegetarian. We each got a slice of spinach and ricotta and split a salad built to my specifications. When another customer overheard us enjoying our food, he approached our table and told us that he eats here often. He said the owners are married, and that one is Italian and one is Jewish. They combined forces and offer 100% vegetarian pizza that is kosher. Closed Saturday. Worth a try! read more

Pizza Time - Simple - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Some of the best New York style pizza I've ever had. And not just kosher pizza. Couple of things to note off the bat - it's cash only, and it helps to have a personal relationship with Judah the owner. It's usually packed on Saturday nights and during the school rush hour, and parking is impossible around here, so plan ahead. Pizza Time has got an amazing dough recipe that results in a perfectly crunchy crust, with almost zero flop. The sauce is "perfect, amazing, and some of the best sauce ever. It's absolutely delicious, like a crabby-patty level secret recipe" says one fan. The cheese is exactly what you'd expect from a New York style pizza, not too oily, and very satisfying. Highly recommend the grandma slice, it's crunchy and delicious. For fries, I'd say get a large and do a mix of Cajun and regular. The baked ziti is worth trying - it's a great balance of flavors and textures. Definitely call ahead, as it takes 20 minutes for them to make. It's got crispy, soft pieces, cheesy pieces, and tomato saucy pieces. Whether or not they use riccota, you barely taste it. The top is crunchy, but the inside is moist. You're dipping fries in that tomato sauce. You're fighting over that last bit of tomato sauce. Recommended with some hot pepper. They stopped putting prices on the wall recently, but they did get a new set of pizza ovens to improve turnover. Something I'm upset about is that they seemed to have ditched the falafel option. Doesn't help for my lactose intolerant friends. There are rumors that the first pizza after passover sells for over $800 (proceeds to charity). There's also a reason Portnoy scored them an 8.2 - that was just a confirmation of what the community already knows. This is luxury pizza, some of the best. Tell your friend to snag a table with his Kippa like old times, it's worth the effort. read more

While this place has good pizza, Judah, the owner, is intolerable. He favors his little friends and makes everyone else wait extra long. When he opened, he was a really nice guy. Now, he loses his temper if you approach the counter- it's a pizza shop, what's the matter with approaching the counter?? If you ask for your money back, which he is quick to take, he punishes you by making you wait extra long. He loses his temper if you ask why the guy (some SY) who just walked in is getting helped before people who are waiting over half an hour for pizza. It took a full hour to get pizza there tonight. It's not post Passover?!? Who waits an HOUR for pizza?!? Never again. It seems, people know about this and have stopped going. read more

Hands down best pizza. They are underrated. Perfect sauce, flop, crisp, saltiness ratio. People think just because they are kosher, for some reason this would take away from the authenticity or it would be different from other pizza. You can't get pork pepperoni but everything else is pretty much the same. Pizza is part of Brooklyn culture and this place has been open as far as I can remember. I used to go here as a kid and they were as good then as they are now. Service is awesome, the guys at the counter are super warm and welcoming. Plain cheese slice is my favorite. It's just so darn good. read more

This place is the worst they had roaches on the floor i told the guy and he said oh you can leave please be aware of this place

Very good pizza, workers extremely nice. Cash only. Clean. When I am in this neighborhood I will always stop by Pizza Time.

They don't answer there phone, very high in price, parking around there is horrible Pizza taste good, it's kosher so they charge what every they want read more

We came here bc we were in the Avenue J area and craving a slice. Unfortunately this pizza is lackluster and nothing special. Their slice has too much bread and not enough cheese. Sauce is blahh. It was not memorable and kind of sucked flavor wise.. We left unhappy.. At the price and quality. Disappointing. Also there is no Parmesan on the tables to add to your pizza.. read more

While it's no Di Fara, this spot has a great slice none the less, for a hop skip n a jump down the block, a buck less, and shorter wait. Good stuff. Great stuff! read more

Food is delicious but they allow people in without masks during a freaking pandemic. It was bad enough when they didn't wear gloves when touching or preparing food. Enough. Protect your customers since you're running a freaking food business. read more

I just bought Four Slices of Pizza at pizza time for our son, who is a Rabbi. They tried to overcharge me by $5.00. Three pieces were $4.50 each and one was $5.00. The person serving me said it was $23.50. I said it can't be. He started to write out the prices of each piece and I showed him it was $18.50 I then said to the server next to him why are you overcharging your customers. He said, "It is Brooklyn." I gave my server a $20 and he gave me $1.00 back. I told them I wanted my 50cents. He got me my 50 cents and another person working there said "don't be upset." This place maybe kosher but they do NOT operate with integrity or consistent with Jewish law in how they charge their customers. I was almost one of their victims and I am writing this review so you will not become one of their victims. I recommend never going to this place unless and until they prove to the consumer and the general public that they will not cheat their customers. read more

11/10 the pizza sold here is a dream. Perfect crunch, not too greasy, cheese has real flavor, sauce is savory and sweet, crust has a wonderful crunch. This is what pizza places strive to be. They should open up a place in Cedarhurst, NY. Thank you for existing. read more

The best kosher pizza in all of Brooklyn! Make sure to try their pesto - it's even better when you put it on top of a slice! Their Mac and cheese is also delicious. But they really have the best regular pizza as well as grandma slices, squares, vegetable, cheese crust, etc!!! read more

Pizza Time makes, well, pizza. Unfortunately, it's located on Ave J, just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Lord Dom DeMarco who presides over the kingdom DiFara. Comparisons between the two are left to a better man as I'm inherently biased towards one over the other (guess who). Still, Pizza Time serves up a very important function: all of the school kids that are too impatient to watch Dom work his magic flock to this joint instead and keep the lines low during weekdays. Thanks, kids! read more

Low quality pizza for too much money, it also wasn't as clean and organized as you'd expect from a kosher place. read more

Pizza Time - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It's probably the best kosher pizza I've ever had and compared to any other pizza... it's pretty good! I can tell it's kosher bc there is this smoothness in the cheese that I have no idea how to explain. I'm not sure why kosher pizza can't be amazing like you might find on Bleecker Street... maybe we'll get there someday or maybe not. Pizza can be vegetarian, no problem, but why can't they just Kosher certify good cheese? This I do not know. read more

Not the best Kosher pizza I have eaten. The pizza has too much bread, and not enough cheese!! But if I am around the Avenue J neighborhood, and SUPER desperate to eat a pizza because damn Di Fara's (always) has an insane line, and all the pizzerias are Kosher and not that tasty..then I come to Pizza Time. I guess I have no choice but to suck it up. Just wish I could get a decently good quality pizza (besides Di Fara's) around the neighborhood! read more

My favorite childhood pizza of the neighborhood. This is place is family, the pizza itself is amazing, the guys that cook it, amazing !!!! and of course you could always see a five star place by their bathrooms, tables and etc. This place is spotless clean and super friendly. read more
