A NYC icon with authentic food and amazing service. They're known for their Sicilian pizza and their spumoni is a must. They have outdoor seating with self service for those who are on the go and indoor seating with table service for those who want to dine in. The servers here are very knowledgeable and very friendly. We really enjoyed the family friendly atmosphere here. Their serving sizes are large so don't order too much (although everything we had was delicious). We especially loved the Sicilian pizza, which is what they're known for. Sicilian pizza isn't your traditional New York style pizza but rather a square, thicker crust pizza which has more heft to it. We ended up getting a slice of Sicilian each and some sides to share and were absolutely stuffed!This location can be a little difficult to get to if you don't live in Brooklyn but it's well worth the visit. My friends and I dropped by on our way to Coney Island for the day and we absolutely loved this start to our day out.
Great pizza. They have both traditional slice called round and Sicilian called square. The square pizza is thick. Definitely a hidden gem.
Came here for my long distance boyfriend’s graduation . I live in Maryland and I have to say this is the best italian resturant on the east coast. Absolutely amazing food and the owner is a hoot! The owner is so personable, always checked on us, and made sure our experience was amazing!!! We had pretty much everything on the menu. I am in love with this restaurant! I will be back!!!
World known for Sicilian pizza, the food is great. If you want a new experience with Italian food try the dining room. All the dishes are amazing.
I came here last friday with my partner for my birthday. We were staying in Williamsburg so was a bit of a trek but my god was it worth it! I am from the uk, so had only read about this place, but everything I read was positive. The prawns were the best i've ever had. They were absolutely massive and full of flavour! The value for money and meal size was unreal. Special shout out to Danny for the service and for the home made ice cream. We will be back.
The line is long but moves fast, read the signs to make sure your in the right one for slices or whole pies. Be ready to order! Staff and people behind you are ready to go at this high volume, fast paced establishment. On to the pizza, two choices here the square Sicilian style, or typical New York style. We chose......BOTH. Why wouldn't you. The Typical New York slice was good. Perfect ratio of sauce to cheese to dough. Crunchy, delicious crust the likes of which we cannot find in my native Miami. The Sicilian was great, a much different take on pizza and the house specialty. Usually I'm all about the cheese, in this pizza it's used sparingly and placed on the thick dough, then topped with sauce. It's a thick and hearty pizza dominated mostly by the dough. But the buttery crust is phenomenal. We also had the rainbow Spumoni, an ice cream like dessert consisting of pistachio, chocolate and vanilla. This dessert is less creamy and more on the icy side which distinguishes itself from typical ice cream. The service was fast and efficient, not much time to chit chat at the take out window. The bathrooms were my only true complaint, if tried to hold it if I were there again.
April 2022Easily a NYC classic icon slice. It's the sicilian square slice that's famous. The softest tastiest slice in town. The cheese is under the sauce and it works really well there. It's always busy so your chances of getting a fresh slice are 98.2%! (After I crunched some numbers of course ?)$3.50. That seems like the average price these days, sigh. But if you are getting a great slice, it's worth it.If you want a topping you can only do it if you buy the whole pie for another $4 for a total of $30. That's a lot pizza.Lots of picnic tables, some covered, but it's usually busy all the time.They have Italian ice, ice cream and super soft ice cream. Don't forget to check out the list of toppings!
Nice place. Like the walk up window. Wasn’t a long line, and I place my order quickly. The restaurant is nice, though smaller than I thought. Had a lively crowd insude that night. And the pizza, sweet and delicious, although it was smaller than a usual Sicilian in my opinion. Very good pizza.
Wonderful square-shaped size of Brooklyn! My friend took me here on account of it being one of the best slices in Brooklyn, and she did not tell a lie! It is a classic brick oven style thick crust pizza with plenty of cheese and sauce to make it flavorful. The spumoni and Italian ice is delicious as well, and the homemade lemonade was truly a steal being $1.75 a glass!
They have great Sicilian pizza, the sauce is on the sweet side. IMO their regular pizza is average at best though. The Rainbow Spumoni as well as their ice cream is off the charts! Staff is nice inside and out. Great aesthetic and food here.
