Cookie is a god damn national treasure. All these people trashing her are almost certainly idiot tourists who say and do dumb shit that makes her frustrated. Welcome to New York, we aren't gonna be nice to you if you don't deserve it. As far as the pizza - it's top 10 in the country. Don't think about it too much, just sit down, be patient, and enjoy. read more

Came her coz yelp review seemed good. Boy were we wrong!!!! Took 30 min to get a table. Then they tell you out if more than half the toppings. Took more than 45 minutes to get one pie made. At one point 1/9 tables had a pizza on it with 8 tables waiting. Pizza is full of water and crust is totally soggy. Worst pizza ever. 2 hours for a water running dough that I can't call pizza. WORST than dominos or pizza Hut. Never dine in here!!!! read more

Totonno's - WORST pizza!!!! Water and cheese-Cheese slides off the pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Delicious thin crust pizza! Crispy crust, flavorful cheese & pepperoni. The menu is simple, small or large pie, then choose the topping. No frill service! You come here simply just for the food, nothing else. $25 for a small pie of pepperoni pizza & two bottles of water. Definitely worth it! read more

Simply the best pizza. Period. For 100 years they have been using fresh ingredients in a coal burning oven with amazing results. Don't blink as you're driving by or you'll miss this Coney Island staple. Don't expect fancy decor. Just expect amazing pizza. Order large pies only, they will go. Personally, I don't need any toppings. I just go with an appetite and enjoy. Be advised that soda comes in tiny bottles, so I usually get a Snapple instead, otherwise you'll need to order like 3 drinks. But that's all secondary. You have not lived until you've had this pizza. read more

HANDS DOWN THE BEST PIZZA I EVER HAD. Truly. Haven't eaten pizza since coming back from NYC because I don't wanna lose the memory of this beautiful pizza. We managed to eat not one, but two LARGE pizzas and loved every bite. This is what I think of when I think New York pizza. The dough was crisp to perfection, the cheese and sauce ratio was the way it should be and the they didn't skimp on the toppings which is always a plus. Definitely worth the hour long F train ride. I feel honored to say I was able to eat at such an iconic place. read more

Totonno's - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is place lives up to everything you've heard: good pizza, no frills. The decor inside looks like it hasn't been changed in years (ever?) The servers weren't outright rude, but not outright nice or pleasant, either. The one redeeming quality wasn't actually the pizza - it was the nice cook who saw us eating black olive pizza and recommended we add basil to it in the future. He was very kind and chatted with us for a few minutes. This will remain the most memorable part of the experience for me. Well, that, and the secret chuckle I shared with the elderly man at the table adjacent to ours over the waitress rudely asking another couple who had already seated themselves if they needed a table for two. Maybe you had to be there... read more

Totonno's - Black olive pizza - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

3 respectable slices were toaster oven'd hours later, so will need to stop in if and when I'm back in the 'hood. Glad they made it back ~6 months after Sandy, and remain run by family, and that they still serve only Wednesday through Sunday, beginning at lunchtime, till the dough runs out. (Much like the other pizzeria in the middle of culinary nowhere, neither di Fara nor Totonno's are open on Monday or Tuesday, and neither holds long hours on the 5 days they accept your money, and even then they only take cash. Plus, Totonno's doesn't dish out individual slices. Sadly, for the same reasons, there are only ~300 reviews in 2014 despite being one of the first pizzerias in the country. read more

Great restaurant and they gave back to the community during COVID-19 what more can you ask for

The Pizza at Totonno's is definitely in the top 5 in the city. Crisp flavorful thin crust pizza, great sauce, perfect amount of cheese and toppings. Win, win, win. The one waitress is SO surly, so unpleasant, and the wait for a pie can be endless even when there are empty tables. The hike from the subway is significant if you've got little ones. If you are a group larger than 4 and happen to hit it wrong, your wait could be interminable. Overall, the food merits the visit. The service does not. If you are looking for a great pie, Totonno's will not disappoint. We will always return when we are in Coney Island. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon with family and friends...ordered three large pies: cheese pie, pepperoni pie and anchovies & garlic pie. To my supprise...the anchovies and garlic pie was really good. The place has a history...it's been around for 90 plus years and people are still going. Get there at 12 and wait until they open at 1230. If you are hungry get the seats on the right side as you enter the place. They start taking the orders on the right side. read more

If you're like me, you heard about this place on Ugly Delicious recently and figured, hey, it's worth a semi-decent trek out to Coney Island to see what the hype is about. Pizza isn't hard to come by in Brooklyn so, this place has to be good. TL;DR: the pizza was good but the service was... not good to say the least. Tips for restaurant goers: 1) there is only a menu on the back wall above where the pizza is made. The waitress will be slightly annoyed if you don't realize that when she comes up to take your order and you had no idea you should have been looking at the menu on the back wall. Behind you. That said, you can choose a small or large pizza, each topping is an additional $2.50. You'll likely spend $20-$25 on a pizza. 2) Cash only. 3) Expect not great service, essentially zero-friendliness and them to do the least things possible to just give you your food and have you leave. Seen while we were there: one man seated by the door loudly asking the waitress who was all the way in the back (across six full tables of people eating) for the check and a box. 4) All that said, the pizza is solid. Slightly sweeter sauce than what you're probably used to, mozzarella melted perfectly on top (slightly chewy in that good chewy mozzarella way), and an amazing crust. Only thick around the edges, just how I like it. And they have Coke in a bottle. Can't go wrong there. Tips for the restaurant: 1) Maybe tell people when you bring the plates that the menu is on the wall in the back, I guess that would save you less trips and less talking to them anyway?¿ 2) Maybe work to create loyal, return customers rather than one time customers. I'd imagine business booms over the summer, but there are loyal foodies in Brooklyn who love a good pizza, and would make the trek even in (especially in) the winter if it was an all around good experience. read more

Wish this place was still in business. This was an absolute legend of a place since like 1800 hundreds. Thank you for all the great pizza from all the years. Cheers. read more

I've been meaning to try this place for the longest time. It is a bit of a hike to get to, all the way in Coney Island, but it's within walking distance of the subway. Though I'm by no means an expert, you can't deny that current and former college students are aficionados to a degree after eating pizza for 4 years at 3am. So, my $0.02: This place is really really good. A mom and pop shop style Italian place is the hallmark of great pizza in this country, and Totonno's showcases this. From the small storefront itself to the Italian family bickering to the coal fired oven, this place serves a mean pie. It's crisp, but not too thin, with the cheese perfectly melted and the crust firm and not burnt, but also that perfect level of chewiness. Unfortunately, we got the wrong order (getting garlic instead of a half pepperoni), it's that good that we weren't complaining. This produced some arguing among the family members, but what's an Italian place without this kind of love? As far as I remember, this place is cash only. read more

Overrated pizzeria getting by on local reputation only. Been there twice and pizza was burnt both times.

I don't know what nonsense people are saying here about how the staff are bad. The middle aged woman there was just fine. If you want joyous characters go see Ronald McDonald. They did their jobs just fine and got me my check quickly. This place is popular, so a little wait may be required. Pizza was great. Not the oily stuff you get locally. Minimal oil is used in making this pizza, as I didn't need to wash my hands after eating 4 slices. This is a one man - one pizza operation. Everything is done with care and diligence. What a delight. Will be back as soon as the urge to go comes back. read more

'Only God Makes Better Pizza'- Zagat quote found on the wall of Totonno. Worth traveling to, even thought it's on the very last spot of the N train. Cute no frills place, with probably the same decor from back in the 1920s...with memorabilia added to the walls. No wait when we arrived on a weekday. Owners were friendly but service was short and but a brisk. Actually one family member was doing her bills/taxes right next to us. Just low-key and unapologetic. Pizza is awesome. Our pie came out so beautiful with fresh ingredients on top. Ultra thin, hot and crunchy, perfect sauce to cheese ratio. Mouthgasm!! read more

3 1/2* I had high hopes for Totonno's but I don't think it lived up to other pizza places that I've tried. There was a long wait the night I went, and we ended up having to wait outside in the cold because it was a packed house. The pizza is super thin and crispy, but I thought there was something missing in the sauce. Service was OK, but we did have to wait a while for our pizza to come out. read more

Sometimes you just need to go to Brooklyn for Pizza. Walk in and take a table, this place is table service...fancy, right? A gruff woman (don't be intimidated I kid) will come by with paper plates and Dixie cups, but you do get real silverware! For 2 a small pie is a good size to order and maybe something to drink so you get to use the Dixie cup. The pizza came fairly quickly. It's placed in front of you and it looks amazing and smells amazing and you can't wait to dig in. This is some sturdy pizza, it doesn't flop around. It is quite an amazing pizza, really delicious. The perfect ratio of sauce and cheese and crust. Just so good! Take a look at all the old articles and photos that adorn the walls and embrace the history of where you are. And that's why sometimes you need to go to Brooklyn for Pizza. read more

The crust is fabulous. Could not be better. As for the rest of the pie, it was mediocre. I like that blend of sauce, cheese and everything else melded together that is found in Brooklyn.This is more of a Margharita pie with globs of cheese in one place and a puddle of tomato sauce elsewhere. The sauce needs spices as it has none. I think that the pizza can use more cheese. Let it be known I am not a fan of Grimaldi's or Lombardi's either. They sell similar pies. read more

First, the service is so slow I don't care how damn good the pizza is. I have never seen it take as long as it did to make and cook one pizza. Everyone seemed to be waiting and the staff didn't seem to give a flip about how long it took. So, if you're in a hurry, forget about it. Bring a snack. Now, the pizza is pretty good. Not the best I've ever had, but pretty dang good. If the service was better it might have been a better rating but for the time we we waited, not worth the effort. Their attitude sucked too. read more

Really a 3.5 but has character. This place is the "five guys" of pizza. Great mozzarella, homemade tasting sauce, but the crust wasn't as crispy or thin crust as I would like. Gets a 4 for character, and still better than most pizza places in the country. read more

Pizza to die for, service that makes you question your will to live. This place is definitely up there witj the pizza greats, and might be the best i've had in brooklyn (better than di fara, and way better than grimaldi's). Sweet sauce, doughy YET! Crisp crust, thin but holds up, amazing cheese. As with many legendary old school pizzerias however, their service cant keep up with all of their customers. It's almost laughable: they made us get drinking water from a weird sink in the back, they use plastic cups and paper plates, they use an honor system instead of a waitlist.. and no friendliness whatsoever. But if everything comes together, and you have your pie and a table and even a drink, it almost seems like theres nothing more you could ask for. read more

This is the grandfather of all great pizzerias. If not the greatest. I used to stop in here twenty years ago, introduced by a friend. I say introduced because they did not even have a sign outside. The funny thing was that , even if you had the address, you could never find the place. From the outside, it looked like someone's house not a place that served food. But once you entered, it was as if you time warped into the 40s to another era. From the wallpapers to the tiny tables to the metal chairss to the tiny pictures of all great Italian americans , all looked as if it beamed straight down from the heart of Italy. It was all by word of mouth. And the old pizza maker used to throw us out if he made his quota. It didn't even matter if you were in the middle of your pie, if he sold a certain amount that day, you have to get out! (can he be the orginal soup Nazi?) The pizza was amazing though. The homemade mozzarella,the home made sauce, imported olive oil, the thin crust and the brick oven. All came together as one as you took one bite. The flavors burst in your mouth taking turns sending you into the clouds and ecstasy. And then you look to the sign over the oven that read,: "Thank you Totonno" Last week, feeling nostalgic, I decided to take my family to this iconic place. Behold, they had a sign. Inside looked more like your average pizzaria. It turns out that they had recently closed (due to a fire) and had a bit of a renovation. The grandson of the original owners were running the place and with pride. Then the pizza arrived! It was still thin, imported mozzella, imported olive oil and the sauce. It was pretty good. I wouldn't say as good as twenty years ago but pretty darn close. And much better than the totonnos in Manhattan. I'm glad to see this place is still around and is still a staple of the N.Y. culinary scene. read more

I just read in the online Timeout that Anthony Totonno the master pizzaiolo opened this pizzeria in 1924 and its still run by the same family with the same original master recipe!!!!!!! Plus they use the absolute finest quality ingredients- imported Italian olive oil, housemade mozzarella, and their own tomato sauce. Apparently the secret to the pizza's success too is the coal burning oven which keeps the pizzas cooking at an even 600 F enabling an evenly cooked pizza with no over charring which creates that yucky bitterness in some pizzas. Totonno's you have won my heart! I can eat his pizza for the rest of my life. It is light and crisp and one of the BEST BEST BEST. ( seems like there is an echo here) read more

I been coming here for years. Pizza has gone down hill nothing like it used to be. Bland nothing special. Sucks because I like the place and respect the history but times change. If your near by stop in but dont go out of your way read more

They are back open after last year's nasty fire, and it's like it never happened. Delicious destination pizza. It's amazing how all the best pizza places in New York have such different products--how do they end up that way when they all, basically, start with the same ingredients? This is another special slice, and one that's not to be missed. Wait outside in line until a table is available, and don't try to sit down before that table has been cleared and wiped down. If you don't want to wait, call ahead and pick a pie up to go, then take it down to the boardwalk and eat it there. It's best piping hot, though! Plain is the way to go! read more

Totonno's - Small, half sausage. - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

By far the best brick oven pizza in NY. This quaint establishment has been around for an extremely long time. They know what they're doing with pizza and they don't joke around about it. There have been dozens of imitators, but no one can match the simplicity and amazing taste of Totonno's in Coney Island. As you walk into the small-spaced restaurant you almost feel old school Brooklyn come to life. It has this authenticity that is unmatched throughout the city. I can only think of one other Italian restaurant in NY that matches this feeling (be mindful, I haven't been there since the fire). The pizzas are delicious, the toppings are served in copious amounts and the staff is friendly and helpful. The wait can be long so be prepared to brave the great outdoors as you wait to be seated. To add more flavor to your journey to Totonno's I recommend walking the board walk first. The ingredients are all fresh, the oil used is imported from Italy and the pizzas are served up with heart. They've been making this style of pizzas for years and in my opinion they are the masters. Go Go GO! read more

Very good. Crust was chewy and crisp..... Really delicious. However- this pie could have been so much better with some basil and a touch more of garlic if it had any at all in the sauce. That would have been the perfect pizza in my opinion. I found the sauce a bit bland. The menu consists of small and large with toppings. That is all Small... Large.... read more

I know it can be a long subway ride to get here for lots of New Yorkers but if you like pizza do yourself a favor and come out to Totonos. This is one of the best pizzas in the country and I didn't even have to wait hours to get it. Lets start with the history. The first pizza place in the US was opened by Gennaro Lombardi in Manhattan. This restaurant laid the foundation for the best pizza places in the country: Frank Pepes, John on Bleeker etc. Another one of the Lombardi disciples is Totonos. So you are not just going to any really good pizza place you are going to one with a great history. I went on a Sunday at about 4:30. I walked in and there was only one other group there. The places is pretty small (maybe 10 tables) but there was no wait. This stood out to me as I have waited hours in line for other places that are as famous (Gramaldis, DiFara, Beddia). There is only one guy making pizzas with ensures quality control but also means it might take a little bit to get your food. Which brings me to the most important part. The actual pizza. The crust was amazing. It was nice and crisp but not too hard that it hurts. It is strong enough to hold the ingredients and not just fall down but at the same time chewy. Then there is the cheese they are using premium mozzarella here now shredded but carefully pulled part by the pizzaiolo and neatly placed. I got pepperoni on my pizza and it was delicious and the right amount where it didnt over take the other flavors. Finally, the sauce was also amazing as it is gently poured over top of the cheese and has occasional chunks of actual tomatoes. This is one of the top 5-10 pizza places in the country. Anytime I am near Coney Island I will make sure to pass by and again. read more

This is one of the better pizza places and of course the price is definitely higher than the average pizzeria. The menu is simple. You choose a small pie ($16.50) or large pie ($19.50). Toppings are extra at ($2.50) each. They have soda and wine as well. The place is pretty spacey. The lady waiting on the tables can be a little friendlier. We were a party of 2 and we went with the small pie with several toppings. The pie was enough for 2 and it filled us up. The pizza does taste better. The crust was thin, a little crispy, and not doughy. I think that's why I was able to finish 4 small slices. I like the cheese they use, but I wish they scattered more cheese on the pie. Just like the toppings they were pretty stingy on it. CASH ONLY! read more

Very good pizza, but the wait was over an hour and by then I was starving. Hard to say if my stomach eating itself while waiting in line swayed my judgement. I'll give Totonno's the benefit of the doubt. Their pizza was quite good, the crust had the three C's, chewy, charred and crunchy. Toppings each were each of above average quality. The sauce distinctly flavorful. One can taste there is something special in the sauce, probably a secret, as even the kindest among us, all have secrets! Ha! Wait staff was a tad moody, but forgivable, considering they've had to put up with New Yorkers and tourists alike for so long. Beverage selection was impressive. Beers, wine, wide selection of classic sodas. I went the traditional route with a root beer. Perfect classic pairing. Despite the line looming outside, no one rushes you inside once seated. The downside is if you have a conscious, you are mindful of the people still in line and the wait time it took for you to get into the door. Presumably, you are not an a-hole and make note not to linger like it's a hookah lounge. Eat your pizza and leave in a respectable time frame for the next set of folks awaiting your table. That is just good manners. read more
