    Pepperoni slice
    Bill S.

    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.

    Cheese Pizza from Pizza Wagon.

    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.

    Pepperoni & cheese

    Solid late night pizza. The service was good he helped us and got us out super fast. The indoor is closed at night which is ok but can be chilly or rainy. The inside does look rather spacious and cozy. I get pepperoni and cheese and both were very good.

    Ricotta meat ball spinach
    Eileen H.

    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.

    Sicilian Slice

    They serve a fantastic Sicilian slice. Really wonderful, old school pizzeria. The staff is very friendly.

    Outdoor tables
    Katie W.

    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.

    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.

    Great tasting pizza
    Esmeralda C.

    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.

    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

    Plain slice, White slice, Square (Sicilian)
    Matthew S.

    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.

Reservations were tough (stand in line and then they'll tell you what time to come back) and we got an 830 res. Still one of my favorite pizzas!

    Standard-Issue Nostalgia with a Side of Rushed Hospitality…read more If you enjoy paying in time rather than digital convenience, Lucali's reservation process is a masterclass in performative nostalgia. Arriving at 2 PM to stand in a line for two hours just to get on a list for a 7 PM seating doesn't make the place feel exclusive, it makes it feel like a punishment. But hey, we got a table, so the sacrifice was supposed to be worth it. It wasn't. Lucali is BYOB, which is fine in theory. My party brought two bottles of prosecco, fully prepared for a cozy, rustic evening. The server kindly offered to pop the first bottle, then brought out our glassware: heavy, standard water glasses, fresh out of the commercial dishwasher and literally piping hot. There is a special kind of absurdity in pouring crisp, ice-cold prosecco into a glass that feels like it was just pulled from the depths of hell. To top it off, nobody offered to keep our second bottle chilled. Minor detail, sure, but for a place with this level of cult status, the low-effort service immediately set the tone. To give credit where it's due, the ambiance is legitimately cool. It's dimly lit, atmospheric, and feels like step-back-in-time Brooklyn kitchen. Watching the pizza makers roll out dough using empty wine bottles before shoving them into the roaring brick oven gives off that warm, "Nonna's kitchen" charm. You want to love it. Then the food arrives, and the illusion shatters. Our server gave us the bare minimum rundown: "We have pizza, calzones, and tonight's special pasta." Zero detail, zero enthusiasm. We ordered the pizza and the calzone. The pizza was... fine. Completely fine. But calling this the best pizza in New York feels like collective mass delusion. If you've been to L'Industrie or Mama's Too, Lucali isn't even in the same stratosphere. Then came the calzone, which was allegedly stuffed with five cheeses. The server proudly named four, withholding the fifth as a "secret ingredient." A mystery cheese angle might be fun if the calzone blew your mind, but by the time I took a bite, the gimmick just felt tired. It was a perfectly average calzone wrapped in high-end gatekeeping. The grand finale, however, was the absolute kicker. Just under an hour into our meal, after overhearing the hostess realize she'd botched the table rotation, our server came over with an update: they had overbooked and needed our table. Her gracious solution? "You're welcome to pour the rest of your prosecco into your glasses and finish it outside!" The remaining, warm, prosecco that is... Let's recap the math: two hours waiting on a sidewalk at 2 PM, five hours of waiting for the reservation time, warm glasses for cold bubbles, middle-of-the-road pizza, and a boot out the door in under sixty minutes because they messed up their own seating chart. Disgraceful hospitality masked as old-school Brooklyn charm. If you love mediocre food, lukewarm prosecco in burning hot glassware, and being rushed out to the curb, Lucali is waiting for you. As for me, I won't be back.

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.

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.
