So here I have been thinking for the last five or seven times that I have checked into this pizza store that I was checking into the right one, hell I even looked at the map to be sure the blue dot was shining right in front of the store; guess that was all wrong or could have been a Yelp problem were they deleted the original and had to recreate another one. What ever the problem was only a snafu on Yelp could make this happen. So what is this amazing pizza store all about? Is this a authentic high end store that will amaze the crap out of you? No! Is this a store that will remind you of the Italian farms where the tomatoes were picked from and used to create the sauce? No. Is this the store that will have you coming back like the dollar pizza store everyday? No. Is it a neighborhood store that produces adequate food with a price that is relevant to this area? Hell Yeah! Nothing about this place will make you come here over and over again like you must. It is a great pizza store that have several different items that they sell where for lunch most go there when they may need something different. They sell zeppolis, meatball subs, beef patties, pizza (duh!), cappuccino (really.....why?), and other variety of food items you find at local pizza stores now a days. The times where pizza stores used to have very authentic pizza, may ten or two different varieties, with some great garlic bread seems to be being replaced with local stores that offer so many different items that authenticity seems to dissipate out the door. Not to say all their items are bad or authentic, but it just strikes me as that. The pizza is really just a bummer. If I am paying $2.75 for a slice I want wow. Not the wow that will have me flying because that will not be $2.75 at all more like $5, but something that makes me say "Oh hell yeah!" with every bite. It can be the sauce, the cheese, the bread, or even the crust but something. With their pizza it is pretty normal, with a crust that is not that big or overly crunchy; just has the right levels to it. The sauce is nothing special, but with preference I wouldn't even have the sauce on it sometimes (yeah I am a weirdo lol). The zeppolis are my favorite thing in there. They are soft, has a little crunch, and with the right amount of powder sugar it is just tantalizing but even that they will mess up sometimes (SMH!) But it is highly recommended by me for sure.....the guy who is rating it 4 stars but talking all this crap. The beef patties for some weird reason adding cheese will make the ground meet taste pretty liquidy, not saying it was bad but what is the meat even made of that cheese will do that to it haha. The meatball sub was sub-par at most, with no flavor on the meatball at all nor the tomato sauce. The meatball were some what juicy and the bread was crunchy; which at this point is their strength to me I think haha. Overall i think of this place as a 3.5 stars haha. However, they will need to do better soon because two blocks away an Artichokes pizza store just opened up, Now of course artichoke is hella expensive so why not just keep coming here instead of wasting that money for that pizza store? Just imagine a artichoke pizza if you ever seen one, and now think about the question again haha. But that doesn't mean this place is going to go down that fast. Yes the people in the evening seems to go toward more at Artichoke than here, but that doesn't mean everyone here has Artichoke money so there will always be customer for them. Plus, with a lot more option they have more to offer than Artichoke, but that does limit the taste factor I mentioned. They also have a lot more seats which is a plus haha. They even have the front window doors open up during the summer where people can enjoy the breeze as they are eating. So they definitely have some strong suits that can help them be better, are they utilizing it is the question? Their customer service skills are not terrible either so I don't see why their food have to be mediocre with the price they are charging. But hey I am just a Yelper, what do I really know right? read more

I got here at 11.30pm the first time. Cool guy behind the counter. For a newly remodeled pizzeria, the guy gives it personality that an old school pizzeria can't compete with. Little hook ups, fun jokes, interaction etc. For getting the last slices, as in nothing was really fresh and we were twisted...not bad, not bad at all. So we left, bought beers, tried to chill on a few stoops, no luck...so we came back, bought out the last of the garlic knots...he was cool enough to let us chill with our beers at the table. read more

Oh, I used to live upstairs in the building next door and lived on their pizza for over two years (two cheese slices, cold- so I could heat 'em upstairs). The owners are nice (they were my landlords as well). The pizza is good- not crazy gourmet or anything, but good stuff, and as I write this from far away, I wish I could run downstairs for a slice or two... It's also clean, and busy- so you get a nice fresh slice... read more

Settle down pizza snobs! Love the slices here and chicken roll is also delicious. Service is consistent and reliable. I only wish they delivered! read more

Pizza is when pizza anywhere you go. It's pretty hard to mess up a slice but believe me I've had bad before! I Came Here On Recommendation. I was told they had a really good slice. I was skeptical since it was an ordinary pizza place and the person was probably just really hungry lol. When i walked in i was surprised to see it packed. mostly with typical park slope stroller mom's that just picked up their kids from school. I mean, that has to mean something right?! I walked up to the counter and they had all types of delicious looking pies. I especially love the slices that are stuffed. I settled just for a regular slice this time. I always tell every pizza place to make mine extra well done. I like my pizza crispy. I have the admit, the slice was pretty damn good. It wasn't paper thin. It had a thickness to it, but not doughy thickness, they made it well done just the way I like it. I would definitely come back to try the other delicious slices they have displayed!. read more

New York pizza that suits the tourist. I have heard from many a native and transplanted New Yorker, that pizza is plentiful, and much of it very good. I have no idea how this place rates, but can say that as a famished tourist, I was very pleased with my spinach and tomato pizza. The crust was crispy and robust, the toppings loaded on top, and filled with deliciousness. My husband had the Sicilian pizza, which as a New Yorker (since moved to the West Coast), he appreciated. The service was quick, the facilities clean and open, and very appreciated. read more

By far the best "regular pizza joint" in the neighborhood. Home made meatballs, good chicken parms, all the slices are good but I especially love the grandma slice, and they're pretty inexpensive, and the garlic knots are the best! read more

Apparently their "Grandma Pizza" is really good as it has a great sauce. They pre-make the pizza but don't cook it until you order it so that it's fresh. -Grandma Pizza: So this is basically mozzarella, basil and tomato sauce atop a flatbread hard crust. When there is a taste, it's okay but most of the time I feel like I'm just chewing hard cardboard crust. FINAL VERDICT: nope. Another skip. read more

I am 100% biased, but we really like the pizza here-- it's nothing fancy at all, but I'm always satisfied with the slices we get. They give slices ample time in the oven, which I appreciate, without burning them, which I also appreciate. Overall, a good place to stop if you're in the hood and feeling hungry! read more

Great garlic knots and zeps!! (They charge for sauce for the knots and we had to ask for the sauce... which was weird, don't knots come with sauce?) Pizza is good too but like other reviews say, don't miss the knots!! zeps were the best I have ever had!!! I don't like many fried thing but these are FTW!! Other let down is they don't take credit... but I guess I had fair warning because it says it on Yelp. YUM! read more

I absolutely love this pizza. I've have been going here since I was a little girl, and now when I go back to NY for a visit, I get to take my little girls with me. Some of my favorite menu items are their Shrimp parm. on bread or with spaghetti, cheese calzone, and the vegetable stuffed pizza. They also have a large variety is of specialty pizzas. I guarantee you will find something you like at this restaurant. Some say the menu items are a bit pricey but what isn't pricey these days? Especially in NYC. read more

Cheap pizza by the slice that's not your standard floppy greasy NY slice. The pizza has actual dough. If you are in Park Slope and you have time to stop at one pizza joint, I wouldn't stop here. There are other better places in the hood that are more expensive, but if you want a little bit of dough, if you have cash (no cc's), and you want something cheap, quick, and friendly, this place is a good bet. read more

Growing up as a kid in Park Slope, Pizzatown was always my favorite place for a slice. However I went about 3 years ago and I was slightly disappointed. The pizza just wasn't good in my opinion. I went the other day just to see if it was really as bad as it seemed 3 years ago and was surprised by how good I enjoyed it! I tried the buffalo chicken pizza with garlic knots and I was happy to admit that both were very delicious. I'm glad they changed things up a bit for the better. I'll definitely go back in the future! read more

Pizzatown - Buffalo Chicken Pizza & garlic knots! - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Stopped in here to get a couple of slices after getting my drunk on at Uncle Barry's down the street and before heading to The Barclays Center. Good Grandma slice for $3.25. No complaints. read more

I've come here multiple times and have not been disappointed. I've tried everything from the pepperoni pizza, the lasagna pizza, to the spaghetti and meatballs, and it has been delicious every time. Prices are definitely fair for the area and the location is always pretty clean. Must try! read more

I was in Brooklyn for the Nets game at the Barclays center and wanted a quick snack before I went in and got an order of zeppoli, it was decent, but nothing close to the ones you get at the street fairs which come out fresh and juicy. Plenty of seating and other things to choose from such as pasta, pizza etc. read more

Delicious food and great service!! Highly recommend. Zeppolis are my fav since I moved to ny and they hook it up with powdered sugar!!! So good read more

I stopped into Pizza Town after feeling unfulfilled at a happy hour near by. The warm cheesy smell drew me in. They didn't have a large selection, so I went with the classic cheese slice. It was yummy and had a nice crispy crust but nothing out of this world. It's a great place for groups. They have a spacious seating area, clean bathrooms and a finished space. read more

Pizzatown - Pizza was great. A bit expensive 2.75 for a plan slice. But drive was quick and it tasted great! - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I enjoyed the pizza here, Ive come here often and it's my mom's favorite so I come here more than expected. To me, it is just a typical pizza joint but the pizza is a good size and thickness, not too doughy and just the right amount of crunch. There was a nice variety of pizza and pizza toppings. My son got a beef patty with cheese which was pretty good too, despite that fact they are pre-made and bought by the store. I also had the opportunity to try the chicken roll which is usually the benchmark for pizza joints for me. The chicken roll was fresh, tasty and the sauce was good....gotta have the extra sauce, without that, just isn't the same. ** Liked the fact that fresh basil was available, would have been better if it was a complimentary topping as is the garlic, pepper, and cheese. read more

You know a place is AMAZING when you are only in NYC for the weekend and you go to it two different times! The staff is so friendly and they made everything in 15-20 minutes! Definitely try the calzones; they have delicious mozzarella and ricotta. Plus great prices! We got one pepperoni calzone, one spinach roll, and two pepperoni rolls for $24 the first time and one pepperoni calzone and two pepperoni rolls, and buffalo wings for $25 the second time. read more

I live a couple of blocks away and only go here when I'm supper hungry and in a clutch( I used to go here a lot pre renovation). The pizza doesn't stand out at all on sauce or portion a lot of times it's pretty greasy. The garlic knots are too doughy, the zepolis are decent. This place is cash only with an atm inside. The only thing really decent here is the seating area (it is great for a big crowd). +seating area -cash only -garlic knots -doesn't stand out read more

When you are in the mood for a slice pizza town works. Its not a fancy place or a brick oven specialty place. Its a pizza by the slice old school pizza place. The sauce is good, the crust is not super thick or too doughy and they don't eff up the crust. Thats all i want. read more

Good, not great NY style Pizza. Grease but good. If your looking for a good slice and are in Park Slope on 5th I could check it out. read more

Average Pizza. The ambience and 5th avenue location is what let this place exist all these years. When you go in, there are a ton of tables set up, and a professional and clean-looking environment. The problem is, the pizza is just not that good. Antonio's on 7th Avenue and Flatbush, about a 10-minute walk from here, is about as good pizza as you can find in Park Slope or Prospect Heights, as far as crust, sauce and cheese. This place looks very nice visually and the location on 5th avenue is a somewhat prime location, but the actual quality of the different slices was subpar. read more

I grew up in Brooklyn and have since moved away due to work. I have made it a point to take a trip back home at least once a year to have a grandma pizza pie from Pizzatown. Every time i go home and get a square the nostalgia of the good old days flood my senses. The sauce is rich but light like a wave from the ocean crashing against the shore. It reminds you of hitting up a bodega for a cool drink during the summers. There are only a few slices of thick cheese that melt on to the bread. Your taste buds will sing when you smack them with the sauce,cheese and crispy but not over done crust. I will continue to go here for the rest of my life. 15/10 would recommend. read more

Very solid neighborhood slice joint. They use tomato sauce liberally on their grandma slices, which is great. The crust has the right thickness and crunch. read more

If you like ur pizza w a crunch this is the place! Sicilian slice is probably the best I've ever had and the lasagna is amazing ! Came here because we originally were told to go to artichokes pizzeria and found out they're cash only. We're never in Brooklyn so we decided to keep walking. Stumbled upon this place and it didn't disappoint! read more

A solid pizza place! Great pizza, and relatively quick service. The pricing is probably a little higher than what it's worth, but you'll definitely leave full and happy. read more

Best pizza in the area. Been going here for 20+ years and it has gotten better over time. Run by real Italians, so you know the sauce is very good. I order a different slice every time I go and am never disappointed. read more

Good...not great pizza. It is tasty and they have a nice staff, but there are so many other places in Park Slope that serve a better slice.

The Grandma slice is the thing to get here. Maybe this is common in NY, but I haven't had it elsewhere. I got to it after my pepperoni slice which didn't slouch either. Grandma awaited patiently, ironically releasing stale, unpleasant odors. I was hesitant; first bite was awkward and timid; second was comforting and I tasted something peculiarly delightful. The crust was cooked longer, almost burnt, which was a change of pace. The pizza was overwhelmed with mozzarella cheese and olive oil, sprinkled with red pepper, oregano and most impotantly: garlic. It all came together to make this visit well worth it. Now Grandma is a part of my vocabulary and I will not ignore her. read more

The pizza is solid, but there's one other thing that must be mentioned here: This place has stellar zeppoles. Picture it: you're walking home from a long day at work, hopefully making the world a better place but more than likely just perpetuating the conversion of paid jobs to internships for overqualified grad students. Anyway, your fatigued eyeballs catch the red, white and green V&M Pizza Town sign. You cross the street, walk in, and there, sitting behind the filmy plate glass display are puffy, pastrified, deep-fried Zeppoles. Just looking at them raises your blood pressure by 50 points, or grams, or PSI, or whatever blood pressure is measured in. You ask the guy behind the counter for a dozen in a bag. Tell him to pour on the powdered sugar. You tell him to shake the bag well. You're drooling by this time, work long forgotten. You grab the bag, the contents of which is now fried dough, grease, and enough powdered sugar to film Scarface 2. Retrieving one of these sugary goodnesses, you pop the whole thing into your mouth and as your pleasure centers explode and your body prepares a last ditch defense against the cholesteral immediately building up in your arteries, you sink against the wall in stupified contentment. The other 11 are for later. You can eat them at 4am when you get back from whatever distraction you've planned for yourself tonight. Guaranteed hangover cure. If by "cure" you're looking for something that delivers brain anesthesia by zeppole overload. read more

I'm so glad this pizza shop is only a block from my home because the pizza and pasta is by far the best I ever had! Excellent service when dinning in or taking out. read more

Solid little local pizza place. I always get a smile with my slice, and after a long work day, it's sometimes all I need. The Sophia Lauren pizza is their specialty and I tend to stick with it. It's a square (Sicily style) with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and fresh basil. Garlic knots and zeppoli are also generally solid. Tip: 2-liters are cheaper than at most places, so if you are there with a friend or two, it's usually better to get a 2-liter than cans of soda. read more

Awesome place!!! I will definitely have to come here every time I am in NY for authentic pizza balls stuffed w cheese.

Decent slice if you're in a hurry or starving - the granny slice seems to be the thing to get.

Just great pizza at a good price, one of the better Sicilian slices I've ever had. If you're in the area you can't go wrong - only knock is that they don't stay open uber late at night. read more

The pizza was fresh and delicious. Well made. The kids enjoyed it too. The restaurant was cleaning and the seating was decent. The only downside was the leaking ACs that kept dripping water as the patrons were eating. Also, one of the pizza makers was also cashing at the register. He wore no gloves and kept going from the register to serving. The other person served me and did not touch my food so that a relief. This is not good sanitary conditions. read more

Very good slice! A nice cheesy bite with crust tough enough to hold up to it. I like my tomato sauce a little more tangy, but this is a solid neighborhood slice. read more
