**CASH ONLY** Visited this Polish lunchroom as well as Relax (few blocks away) on the same day. This was the better spot! Came on a Saturday at 1:30 PM. Polish plate was perfect for 2 of us, with the kielbasa and stuffed cabbage being the standouts. read more

Pyza - Polish plate - Polish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Try the tripe soup. Delicious broth sprinkled with diced vegetables and filled with tender peppery tripe. A meal unto itself. The chicken cutlet has a very light breeding, crispy and tender. Their shredded salad and cucumber salad were excellent. read more

This is a very simple cafeteria. You order your food, sit at a table and are called when your food is ready. We also bussed our own dishes! I enjoyed the food tremendously. The dishes were truly authentic. We were a group of five and shared pierogies, blinzes, ribs, chicken cutlets, fish, cucumber salad, beet salad, and a few other sides. We enjoyed every dish, I can't say that I had a favorite as each dish was so tasty. The staff was very affable and prices are affordable. I definitely want to return. read more

YUM! Boo to my friend who was gate keeping thing place (jkjkjk) I ordered the polish plate to share with a friend of mine. It filled us both up! It came with kielbasa, potato pancakes, meat pierogi, mashed potatoes, and stuffed cabbage. Everything on that plate was so good! My favorite was the pierogi, potato pancake and stuffed cabbage. My other friend got a chicken cutlet that came with sauerkraut, beets and mashed potatoes. The cutlet was huge!! She said the dish was very good. We enjoyed our food as it felt comforting and homey. The service was friendly and she was informative of what we would be getting and how big the plate would be. It's not a restaurant style place. You order, find a place to sit, eat and go. We noticed a lot of working men go in and out for their lunch breaks and small families came in too. We didn't feel rushed either as we came before the lunch rush but I could imagine it being packed if you came during the lunch or dinner rush. Overall we really enjoyed this place and will come back again. read more

Really delicious and authentic Polish spot! Tried their potato dumpling, the saurkraut and mushroom pierogi, the boneless pork chop, and their kielbasa. They also came with sides such as pickles and yogurt soaked cucumbers which were great for cutting the meat. My Polish friend said all dishes were authentic and spot on but found the pickles to be younger than she is used to. I personally though the pierogi was the star. The sauerkraut tang didn't overpower the mushrooms which has a noticeable flavor. The wrappers were also thinner than other places so the ratio of the stuffed contents was great. The pork cutlet reminded me very much of schnitzel/milanesa but less salty. The kielbasa was very flavorful and balanced. Finally, the pyza (a dish I've never tried before so I don't have a great comparison point) was a plain dish with a thick wrapping and pretty unseasoned pork filling. Overall, great spot. Most everyone spoke Polish and they were playing a jeopardy-like game show on the TV, and had several ad booklets which looked like yellow pages. Prices are fair. Service is quick and generally friendly though the staff was noticeably less warm towards non-Polish speakers. They are cash only though so come prepared! read more

No frills & delicious Polish home cooked comfort food. A must try! This place was recommended to me by my Polish friend and she claims it's the most authentic borscht in the city. It did not disappoint. It's the kind of homey hardy comfort food you want on a cold day. The cheese potato pierogis always hit and paired so well with the sauerkraut side. The pickles we're good with the meat pierogis. The Ukrainian borscht was warm and seasoned. It's decent portions for decent prices. The service was nice and food came out quick. There's plenty of seating indoors. The interior has minimal decor and Polish TV playing. There's nice art work that kind of reminds me of being in someone's home. read more

This is a Mom and pop polish restaurant that reminds me of the cafeteria style dining that is common in Eastern Europe. The menu is taped on the wall and you order from the cashier and pay first. You then pick a seat and then wait for your food to be ready and you fetch it yourself from the cashier. The food was fairly priced for the size flavor and the amount of food. The cashier was nice enough to know we wanted to sample multiple things so for any entrees that come with one side- she did half portion of the sides so we could try diff types. Don't expect any ambience- but it's places like this that I love- the focus is on good affordable food. read more

Strong perogies spot to be found in Greenpoint. We came here for a snack--then we got a full meal for four. What doesn't sound like a lot is a lot. We ordered the potato and cheese perogies and the meat perogies for the table. Pretty sure it was beef, we didn't question the bricks of goodness. They are equivalent to a burrito each. I dare you to eat more than one order from Pyza. Great serving sizes in a simple and fast form. We also ordered fries that came to the table in the shape to 2-3 orders at any other place. Mountain of mayo per request. I would come here again for the carbs alone. read more

Pyza - Perogis! - Polish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

One of the last remaining authentic Polish restaurants in an ever evolving neighborhood... delicious food - tastes just like grandmas! Family owned, big portions, traditional homemade taste, polish TV in the background.. a little slice of Poland.. and what Greenpoint used to be. Recommend the cutlets - huge! - and the pierogis. Even if you're vegan, you can come for some side salads... best beet salad I've ever had. Pro tip: You can tell this place is a gem simply by the amount of locals that come here... it's a go to spot for Polish people themsleves! read more

Authentic affordable polish food! (And LARGE portions) Ambiance: no frills polish place, so many polish speaking customers, and polish tv playing in the background. Kielbasa + potatoes: kielbasa was savory and flavorful! The scoring of the kielbasa also gave it a nice chew and juiciness and made it easy to cut! Potatoes were a great combination to eat with kielbasa. Meat periogies: buttery, meaty, hearty. Not for the weak of heart. The dough was fresh and thin, the meat was so filling, and caramelize onions and butter covered everything. Other notes: each entree comes with a side salad! Recommend the beet salad! A nice sweet refreshing salad. If you want something very light and mildly creamy go for the cucumber salad! read more

PURCHASED · Hungarian pancake with red cabbage and pickles on the side · Pierogi boiled. Whatever you do, get them boiled--so much better and healthier than fried. POSITIVE · Polish goods. · Generous portions. Yes. You will have leftovers. If you are like me and you eat a lot, you will be full. NEGATIVE · A bit pricey. But, not too bad for the portions. IMPRESSION · Wait for your Polish goods while you watch some Polish soap opera. If you're looking for Polish food, look no further. This place gets a 5 out of 5 for the generous portions and the yummy authentic Polish food. I love this place. read more

Love this traditional polish restaurant. They serve all the classic polish means as well as seasonal dishes such as blueberry perigee and blintzes . Place is always clean and it helps if you know a little polish or familiar with the food while ordering. I love their white borscht soup , perogies , mushroom sauerkraut , meat and cheese and potato. I also would recommend the Pyza what the place is named for, a potato dough like big dumpling filled with meat ... so yummy . They also have chicken and meat breaded cutletsand every entree comes with salads two to choose I normally get beets and cucumber salad . My favorite place to eat polish food and can not beat the prices , place is cash only read more

Pyza - Meat cutlet with mushrooms and mash , side salads -cucumber and beets - Polish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We had the polish plate. The (fish/potato) pancakes were yummy. The pork cabbage rice roll was bland. The pirogies bit too soft losing chew. Sausage & mash unremarkable. The stewed cabbage with rendered pork was decent. All in all it was a working man's plate devoid of differing flavor profiles- I could see having grown up on this soul food craving it but as a newbie, this plate totally needed some heat, sweet and tang. read more

Authentic and Delicious Polish Food!!! This place is simple, think cafeteria/food hall, with no frills. You have a menu of all of your polish favorites on the wall: meats, soups, salads, and sides. You place an order with the cashier to stay or go and you are all set. The prices are very low, the food is ready fast, and it's delicious. I got the Polish Plate for $11. This plate comes with a lot of food: kielbasa, sauerkraut, potato pancakes, stuffed cabbage with meat, meat pierogis, mashed potatoes, cucumber, and veggies. I'm a pig and finished the entire plate in one sitting. Everything on the plate was perfect. Can't wait to come back. read more

This so called Polish Restaurant has absolutely no resemblance to any Polish food of my Heritage! Potato Pancakes! Pierogies! stuffed cabbage! that's only a few! completely devoid of any knowledge of how to make these National dishes zero flavor whatsoever!!! It just shows how Polish food could morph into oblivion and still be considered Polish food!! Shame,Shame! read more

GOT POLISH !! YOU GOT THE REAL DEAL HERE!!! AUTHENTIC HOMEMADE POLISH FOOD.... made fresh in their kitchen & served up "working-class" like all the Polish workers who either come for lunch or are finishing the days labor. Even though it a obviously local place that has constant Polish Cable TV on & some give you a second look since you may not look like a regular local denizen... WHO GIVES A DAMN when every dish is less than $10 !!!! IT DAMN CHEAP...not just reasonable...it is a STEAL!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HOLY HAM HOCK BATTY MAN: EVEN the huge jelly like, fall off the bone amazing HAM HOCKS with yummy Cabbage, Kraut, & fresh Mashed Potatoes (really a meal for two). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TRIPPING ON THE TRIPE, LSD NOT INCLUDED: The TRIPE SOUP is another winner. Its slow cooked rich goodness is tender soft succulent & not gamey like some Hispanic versions. It is seasoned just right & has tons of TRIPE. From the amazing Pierogis to the Tripe, you really cannot go wrong with anything here. It is a great PITSTOP on the way back from a trip to Manhattan to Brooklyn (but not during rush hour). You also MUST stop by STEVE's Meats down the street to grab the best homemade Kielbasa in the US to either take home, via car, plane, or train.... or pack it in ice packs and Fed-Ex it to yourself in other parts of the US... like in California. ANYWAY, IF YOU WANT THE REAL POLISH DEAL & CAN PRETEND THAT YOUR MOM COOKED THIS GO HERE!!! Yes, it is a lovely hole in the wall. Yes, the parking & commute stinks. Yes, it is NOT for the PRETENTIOUS YUPPY TYPE! But...you would be hard pressed to find better, unless you go to Poland, or have a Polish Mom/ Grandmom for your very own....or have a close friend who will invite you over for dinner. THIS IS ETHNIC FOOD AT IT'S BEST!!!! read more

Eating at Pyza isn't so much a dining experience as it is a public service to Greenpoint's Polish community, which is facing extinction at the hands of insufferable Williamsburg refugees. Pyza is not a very pretty place. It's not even a very homey place. It's the sort of small, sparse cafeteria you can find all throughout the former Eastern Bloc. Most people don't stick around, and opt instead for takeout. But the food itself can be quite good, particularly their chicken cutlets and red cabbage. That kotlet kurczaka can stand up to those served at Krolewskie Jadlo, which is something to be proud of. I do hope Pyza sticks around for a good long time. But it occupies a niche space during a time where restaurants are either hyper-systematized factories or overpriced yuppie hangouts. So if you want Greenpoint to be Greenpoint, and not just another playground for millionaires, give this place some of your business. read more

After reading others' rave reviews, I decided to give this place a try for the first time, for lunch. In the NYC Metro area, $15 would buy a decent lunch at a sit-down restaurant. Although the weather had finally began to warm up, it was still chilly enough for me to get hot soup, a main dish, and a side salad. I thought I'd get a cup of soup and a standard-size plate with the other two. Wow, was I surprised. The soup came in a large bowl.... with four slices of bread. The dinner plate seemed to have enough food for two people. And the side salad came with its own plate. Good thing I was hungry enough to eat every delicious morsel, save for one bread slice. Some other diners I observed boxed what they couldn't finish of their apparently equally-delicious food. I plan to be back, lesson learned: Except for the side salads, just order one item from the menu if you're not ravenously hungry. read more

Great value for the money! $10.50 got me a stuffed cabbage entree and a bottle of water. The entree included 2 large stuffed cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes, and a side, which can be split into two half portion sides. I chose beet salad and pickles. The food was amazing. It was like you went to someone's grandmother's house for dinner. I also sampled some food from my friends' plates. The sauerkraut and mushroom pierogies and kielbasa were both delicious. When you enter, you get in line and order at the counter. You then take your seat and wait to be called up for your food. The line can get long, but be patient. It is worth the wait. read more

We stoped in for lunch, since our spot went out of business. You know sometimes you keep going to a place out of a habit, and now that I tried Pyza, I wish I ate here sooner. Greenpoint is changing at a rapid speed, and as the Polish community shrinks many eateries close. Pyza is a simple self serve eatery, but service is very quick. Menu is in both languages, and prices are unbeatable. I stoped in with my parents and daughter, full dinner and drinks for 4 people were $50, how can you beat that. We ordered mielone which is meatloaf style cutlet, my dad had veal cutlet which was huge and freshly breaded. My shredded beet salad was just like moms, and my daughter loved her mizeria-cucumber salad. White borscht was on point! I had potato dumplings and goulash. Everything was just like homemade, my mom who is a great cook complimented the food. Bottom line is- everything was delicious. We will definitely be returning customers. read more

This building is very unstable. That's why the call it the Leaning Tower of Pyza. Also, Alex K has been here. I'd just like to state that, for the record. So that's a plus. What to get: White Borscht, or anything. I came here as part of a food tour on which I passed up Jadlo and the other famous Polish restaurant in the area, because this seemed the cheapest and the best for a to-go order. I was way too full to be eating Polish food anyway. Yet I stopped in. It was a long walk from the door to the buffet-style food. They recommended an order of Borscht so I snapped it up and I absolutely loved it. It was filling and warm and delicious and very competitively priced, especially for this part of "Brokelyn" which is named as such for a very good reason. With all of these awesome Polish places in one part of town, you'd think you were in Warsaw. But if you never "saw a war" then you're not, because the Poles have seen plenty of conflict over the years. And my Pole, actually, has seen plenty of conflict too. If by conflict you mean deep, dark, sinister and dangerous places. There's a reason they call it "the Pole in the Hole." But back to this restaurant. It's buffet style, but the service is nice and the food is excellent. The White Borscht is top notch. They served me right before closing. I'm looking forward to going back one day for a sit-down, and also at the 2 other big name Polish places in the same little neighborhood, Krol...thingy (sp) and Lomzynianka. Lol. Now I have to go, because I'm late for a Yelp event which I'm not actually invited to, so if you don't see me again alive, you know why. And yes I'm taking my Pole with me. read more

Traditional Polish food. Fresh and amazingly delicious. The combo plate is outstanding.

I know the place looks worn down and old school. But this is amazing food. It was always my favorite in the neighborhood. And it's one of the few polish establishments left in the area. More than half of my childhood has disappeared with the neighborhood constantly changing. But this is still here Their veal cutlet with a sunny side egg on top is my favorite. read more

This is seriously legit no-frills Polish food. If I hadn't come here with a friend who was in-the-know, I would probably have run out in intimidation! The line was long, but the menu is on the wall. You order with the lady behind the counter, she shouts your order to the 2 ladies in the kitchen and you wait on the side until your food is ready. Once your food is ready, they beckon you over, you pay and then you grab your food either on a tray cafeteria style if you are eating there or you take your to-go bag. Prices are par for the area, but the portions are gigantic. If Polish food were my comfort food, this restaurant would be my soul kitchen. It truly is my Polish Grandma's cooking, if I had a Polish grandma. My landlords were polish growing up and they did feed me, so it does bring back some good tasty throwback memories! read more
