Let me be extremely clear: Pizza Wagon is that girl. The reigning monarch. The slice shop other slice shops whisper about in jealousy. If you live anywhere near Bay Ridge and you're not eating here, I genuinely don't know what you're doing with your life. The sauce alone deserves its own fan club -- perfectly seasoned with basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a ratio so precise it borders on mathematical genius. It's the kind of sauce that tastes like someone's Italian grandmother is still in the back, stirring it with a wooden spoon and judging your life choices. And the crust? A paradox. A miracle. A scientific anomaly. Crisp and light, yet somehow chewy in that "how the hell did they do that" way that only truly elite pizzerias can pull off. It's the crust you compare all other crusts to, and suddenly realize most of them are frauds. The cheese is abundant -- not that sad, stingy sprinkle some places try to pass off as "New York style." No. This is fresh, generous, melty perfection, the kind that stretches when you pull your slice apart like it's auditioning for a mozzarella commercial. Now, yes, they're cash‑only. But let's be honest: All the best pizza places are. It's practically a certification of authenticity. A minor inconvenience, sure, but one that's instantly forgiven the moment that first bite hits your tongue and your soul briefly leaves your body. Five stars. Hands down. If I could give them six, I would. If I could give them a Nobel Prize in Dough Chemistry, I'd sign the nomination myself. read more

Pizza Wagon - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Before I begin let me start out by saying that after living in Bay Ridge for as long as I have and not having a Yelp about one of the most time-honored pizzerias in the region is surprising to me. In my defense, while I do still live in the neighborhood, I am not right near Pizza Wagon anymore while for a few years I essentially lived right up the block from them. That being said, some colleagues from a recent work assignment were in Bay Ridge and since I was not working that day I suggested that we all meet at the Pizza Wagon during their lunch break. I have not been here for pizza in awhile so this was an idea I hope that they rallied behind. It was just past the usual lunchtime but since it was a weekend and the shopping is no longer what it used to be on 86th Street we were able to get a table quickly and order our respective items. Each of us seemed to be set on getting one plain cheese and one Sicilian slice and the round slices came out first while the counter staff were waiting on a Square pie to come out of the over. I will admit that I loved the idea of getting my square that fresh only seconds after it was being cooked. A small Root beer complimented my order and it was all delicious which was expected. My colleagues also enjoyed it and were happy about the suggestion. Mission accomplished. I should point out that Pizza Wagon is a cash only business which might not appeal to those looking to do as much cashless things as possible and only use their mobiles for purchases. I am not sure if there was a Wi-Fi to use but I think there was one. I was more interested in talking with the colleagues and sharing stories than doom scrolling while I ate. Was happy that this was a proper experience and I don't think I will wait as long to go back there again. read more

Pizza Wagon - Cheese Pizza from Pizza Wagon. - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

DECEMBER 2025 - CASH ONLY Everything about grabbing a slice at Pizza Wagon today was a pain in the azz. Parking in Brooklyn, if you're lucky you'll find a spot a few blocks away. I find a parking spot around the corner, not too bad. Once inside, I walk into a small pizzeria. I tell the counter guy a corner square and a small coke. He shows me 3 sicilian slices and they're the middle slices. C'Mon brah. It's lunchtime, you don't have any more Sicilian pizzas in the oven? I ask for a slice of pepperoni. Do you take Applepay? No, cash only. The ATM is next door. I grab a $20 from the dial up ATM and I'm charged $3 bucks for a service fee. I'm getting cranky now.. I get my slice, it was a nice thin crust. Good? It was just an average slice of pizza. I wanted a square slice. But guess what? To come here, try to find parking only to find out there's 3 cold middle slices? It's really not worth the hassle to jump thru hoops. Pizza Wagon? 3 stars today, I'm out. read more

We ordered a large round regular pie with ricotta, meatball, and spinach. The delivery driver brought it to the wrong address, so by the time it finally reached us, it was lukewarm instead of hot. I also expected fresh spinach, but it turned out to be frozen and had a strong frozen smell. Overall, we were very disappointed with the order, especially considering it cost $36. Next time - we'll get it without the spinach and ask for peppers instead or maybe omit the veggies altogether. read more

Expected more. From Brooklyn and Bay ridge read more

I recently returned to Pizza Wagon after years and it stood up to the memories! The pizza is good and I love the walk-up window and the fact that they have outdoor tables for a quick grab and go slice, but the fact that it's cash only is frustrating. Service was good. read more

Pizza Wagon - Sicilian Slice - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It's average. I don't think it's any better or worse than other pizzeria I've been to. Ordered a large pie with half mushroom and half pepperoni. It was ok/acceptable. Didn't think it was anything special compared to other pizzeria. Not worth a special trek for. Place is quite small but there's some seating, maybe about 6 (four ppl) tables. There's also some standing tables outside. There's no bathroom available so can't even wash your hands before u dig into your pizza. No garlic knots available either. read more

This place doesn't get talked about nearly enough. Amazing people, but even better pizza. Walking in feels like stepping back into the '80s, reminds me of going out for pizza with my dad every Saturday. It's incredibly nostalgic for me, and the pizza absolutely lives up to the feeling. Pure, classic New York pizza honestly, it doesn't get better than this read more

While in the Bayridge area, after an hour of walking in the Dyker Heights area and taking in all the beautiful homes decorated for the holidays & viewing all the Christmas lights; we stopped by Pizza Wagon to fill our bellies. It's a local spot with vintage vibes and spot on pizza. While we watched the staff prepare the dough, mix in the sauce, cheese and other toppings there was no doubt the pizza would be delicious. We tried the classic slice, and grabbed a hard to come by table in this small spot. The piping hot pizza warmed my heart and belly as I took my first few few bites. The sauce was just perfect and that's truly hard to come by in a city full of pizza joints with a crunchy crust too. The cheese was great and not too stringy. After devouring my first slice I decided to get a second slice with mushrooms and it was just as tasty. This will be my go to spot for filling my belly when I'm back in the area. The staff are super friendly and accommodating too. read more

Went back to NYC recently for a couple of weeks meeting family and of course had to return to Pizza Wagon for the best pizza in Brooklyn!

Haven't had Pizza Wagon in more than 20 years. It tastes exactly the same as i remember. That's why it's always been in the regular Brooklyn pizza rotation with all the greats (L&B, Ciccio's, Pizza D'Amore etc. ) read more

Workers super friendly , Food amazing , classic old school atmosphere inside , one of my favorite brooklyn slices

I never write reviews but I had to this time. Best pizza I've had in a very long time! If I wasn't so lazy I would go back for another slice. Just wow read more

An old vintage spot with the throwback tables that have attached seating. Staff are sweet and efficient, quick to ensure you're in and out. Heads up, only cash. You won't wait for long to place and get your order. read more

Yo this went form literally the best in the 90s steadily to the WORST in 2010's! What in all hell happened here!¿ bland tastes slices of burnt bread for at least three years now...I'm done! And the nerve to let you order and THEN aftter tell you only cash! This place fell off big-time and I mean big time. Anyone liking this pizza from back of the day is living in the past and living on a dream as Bon Jovi would put it. read more

What can I say about this pizzeria that locals don't already know? It's one of my favorite places to get a slice or pie. The pizza needs nothing. It's seasoned to perfection and the bottom is always crispy. The best time to go is very late at night, when you're coming back from a flight & nothing else is open. Grab yourself a slice at midnight & extend your vacation. read more

Best pizza around and they deliver! Trust me I have tried practically every pizza place around and they are at the top of the list!

Perhaps it is because I have not had pizza in quite some time, but a new contender has emerged for me as having one of the best pizza slices in New York City, definitely in Brooklyn. It also happens to be in a neighborhood that once thrived with pizzerias, now being overtaken by the influx of a new demographic. The interior of this pizza shop is beyond retro, with counters inside and for outside customers. The sliding red chairs, the formica tables, the smell of the pizza cooking in the oven, it just feels like a Brooklyn pizza shop. When I think of a New York pizza shop, this is what I think of. Best of all, it is only a five minute walk from the 86th street station on the R train. For lack of a better word, the pizza here rocks. It is simple, but perfect in every way. From the moment the pizza comes out of the oven, to the very last bite, each bite tastes exactly the same, and it is the consistency of this slice is what makes it so perfect. To prove their worth however, I had to get two other slices, a white slice, and a Sicilian square. As mentioned, the plain triangle slice is perfect in every way. Just the right amount of crisp to chew, the thin crust pulls but does not lose its integrity whatsoever. The slice never flops, and stays hot for a good while after it leaves the oven, gradually cooling, but still retaining its flavor. The cheese to sauce ratio is spot on. It is a clean slice, not too salty, but just a little bit to where you can taste it, and with little fuss. I could eat this slice for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late night and I trust I am getting the same slice every time. The white slice is almost as perfect as the plain. Perfectly dolloped globs of ricotta, mixed in with just the right amount of garlic, and that perfect thin crust. Too many times pizzerias get cute on a white slice, but this one restrains itself nicely and as a result, is still a perfect slice. Lastly, I had to go for the trifecta and get a Sicilian square. The perfect Sicilian square should have a fluffy top, yet a crunchy undercarriage to it, not too messy, and you should be able to eat this with your hands and not a fork and knife. It checks every box, with flying colors. Super fluffy, crispy underside, and the sauce and cheese are solid. The sauce has a bit of a sweetness and slight richness, but it passes quickly, and before you know it, you just finished that square. I did not ask, but always, always get a corner square. Corners are the best, and though I did not get a forger this time, I will be sure to get one next time. For $3 a slice, this is absolutely a steal. They also prepare whole pies and calzones and charge a little extra for toppings, but that pretty much sums up the menu. They really just do pizza and calzones, much like Luigi's in Park Slope, who also makes a dynamo pizza slice in Brooklyn that highly I recommend you try. The only negative is that it is a cash only business. That is fine with me, if that is the only negative for this old school pizzeria. It is a small price to pay for such an underrated, but outstanding pizza slice. read more

My regular spot closed down and my kids wanted NY style pizza.Took the troop out to my after school high school spot and got me a a slice and knew this would be the pie I'm bringing home to MN. Told the guy want I was doing and he carefully boxed it up for me and I was on my way. My family destroyed it the minute I got back into town. Alice was cheesy, the bottom had a nice crispness to it and a good chew even after reheating it the next day. True institution to a NY slice. read more

I placed an order for pick up. The worker was extremely rude. He hung up on me before he gave me the price of the pizza. When I called back he gave me attitude and said what we are extremely busy. And I said I'm calling back for the price of the pizza. Just nasty. Never again. You guys are slacking. You may want to add more sauce to your dry pizza read more

The person who answers the phone here is a clown. They have lost my business. Called about a delivery order placed an hour earlier and he told me he has no idea where the delivery person is or when I could expect the order. Just lost. Seemed angry I would ask such a question! This was at 5:30 pm. Get someone who can handle a phone or lose more customers, it's just that easy. Many, many other good options for Pizza in Bay Ridge and Dyker. read more

Been ordering pizza from here for over 24 years. Even directly asked Dave from Barstool to review this place a few years ago. He answered me and said, "will do". Dave gave it a 7.2 I believe. But he kept saying, "solid slice, solid Brooklyn slice". Anyone complaining about this place should be exiled from New York. Not allowed to live here. This is the standard Brooklyn slice. The everyday slice. You can never get sick of it. The only people I can see giving this a bad rating are people who would abandon their own children. Or steal from their parents. Or just winey, spoiled, entitled, no good POF who don't deserve the taste of pizza. The picture I posted was about five hours after ordering it fresh out the oven and took it back home. I ate six slices immediately in one sitting. I'll have the next two for dinner. I can order a pie from here every single day and I'll never get sick of it! Don't believe me? Check my bank statements for the past 24 years. Nearly every single day. A True Bay Ridginal. read more

I can't believe I have to say this but its happening just like LBs changing the Wagon is off its rockers. Some Old Grey Haired dude needs to stay tf out the kitchen cause his guys who are always working like a well oiled machine; not today my slice was so burnt it was disgusting the replacement slice was undercooked n I wouldn't feed it to my dog ffs. No apologies from him just blamed his worker yet he took my order n is in there bossing everyone around like an asshole too many cooks spoil the soup buddy in this case the pizza. Disappointing to say the least because this place has been a safe food for me for close to 30 years ARFID sucks but now I lost my trust in the Wagon. The not apologizing is what really gets me upset let's look at the cameras n see u there taking my order n rushing ur guys messing up the flow of ur workers trying to show off in front of the pretty young girls. I would give 0 stars if I could read more

A neighborhood favorite and maybe the only pizzeria that is open late night to satisfy those late night cravings! You won't find them on any if these delivery apps and will have to come in person to get your food. I love that old school feel it gives for that. The pizza here is really good and top 3 in the neighborhood in my opinion and there is a lot of competition. 4.5 stars read more

As classic as Brooklyn pizza can get. As a pizza connoisseur born and raised in Brooklyn, pizza wagon is the standard I use when comparing other pizzeria's. They could charge more, but they don't. They could have limited hours of operation, but they are open early and close after midnight on Friday and Saturdays. Come here for the Brooklyn pizza experience without the long lines and tourist trap prices. read more

Im sorry but the service was horrible. I ordered a beef patty with cheese and one of the employees said cheese is a dollar extra. I questioned it in a joking way because i've never been to a pizzeria where they charge more than 50 cents for some cheese on a beef patty. The employer proceeds to stare at me like I had 3 heads. When my beef patty came out the oven, he looked at me while my food is in his hands, sets the food down where i cant get it, and starts taking orders from the other customers. Idk if he's acting like this because it was late but his demeanor was unacceptable read more

Decent pizza and quick service. As this pizza shop is located right in the midst of the 86th Street shoppers--this place typically has no shortage of customers. Despite the large amount of customers, they have a verge large staff of employees, you typically won't have to wait long without gaining the attention of an employee. They have a walk-up window, few tables outside, along with some inside seating. I've only had pizza and beef patties here and I was pleased with both. read more

Grabbed a regular slice. Solid NY style pizza. Crispy crust. Good sauce and cheese. Fast service. Accommodating staff.

Normally when I drop by the pizza is delicious. But somehow this time it was different, likely it was the time of day... but I regret the purchase. At 10:45am I bought what was placed out assuming that it was fresh for the day. I paid $11 for 2 slices and a veggie stuffed pizza slice. My daughter who was remote learning with a 11am lunch - ate the first slice and complained of stomach aches. She begged me not to go back to the store to complain so I'm writing this review. Please don't sell pizza that has been sitting out, and reheated you can truly hurt someone. read more
