This was our second pizza stop in the city and it might be my favorite!…read more Ordered two medium pies, which was more than enough for our party of 4. We got the margherita and the no. 3 special and I really liked both! The toppings were great and the crust was delicious. The margherita was my favorite and getting a slice with a good amount of cheese on it was simply amazing. Service was good in taking our order and explaining the menu. One thing to note is that they only take orders by the pie. Plenty of seating inside, there was a short line at around 12:30 PM on a Saturday but it moved super fast. Great Pizza Spot in Brooklyn and worth the visit!

Decent sauce, nice toppings, but what's up with the soggy crust?…read more Being wanting to visit this famous pizza spot for the last few years. Came here in the past and always a line out the door so didn't bother. Finally had a chance to try yesterday for late lunch with a friend when there were many empty tables inside, so no line and no waiting. We ordered a medium Margarita based pizza with pepperoni & roasted peppers toppings. We were really surprisd the pizza came out in less than 5 minutes after waiter served us our drink order. Upon biting into it, right away what popped up in my head is 'why is the pizza crust so soggy?' Maybe the knife & fork on the table should've been a dead give away. One saving Grace is the sauce does have a sweetness to it, not tangy like some other famous shop in the Village. And also the 2 toppings were tasty enough to save this dining experice. Before leaving the restaurant, asked our waiter about the crust, he said since restaurant wasn't busy, the kitchen had already pre-made the pizzas, so it was just a matter of heating it and bring it out, hence the fast service. Pro-tip: next time (a big if for this reviewer), one must ask the crust be 'well-done,' in order to get its texture to the desired degree of cripiness that one should expect from what should have been an iconic pizza place in NYC.

For a party of 4, we split one pizza and one large calzone. It was a good amount of food. Full but not crazy stuffed. To get a reservation, you need to wait in line before it opens to put your name down for a slot and then come back when it's your time for a reservation. The place is super no frills and is byob since their menu is so limited. Would love to be back as the food was amazing! But it is definitely a bit of a hassle to get into.

This pizza place lives up to the hype. While we did have to go through their long line, where you…read morewait a good amount of time to reserve a spot a few hours in advance, it was well worth the wait. The pizza was so light and delicate while still having great flavor, and you can tell the craftsmanship has been perfected. We also tried the calzone, which was very good. However, if you can only choose one, I would definitely go with the pizza. The service is great, and I like that it's BYOB. We were able to bring our own bottle of wine, which paired very nicely with the pizza. The ambiance inside the restaurant is very nice with dim lights, but sitting outside on a nice summer day is unbeatable.

Wow. This is a review of Di Fara frozen pizza from Target. More specifically, Di Fara frozen pizza…read morefrom the Target Store in Richfield, Minnesota location. I tried looking up this pizza from Target Richfield for a review, but it sent me to the NYC location, so forgive me if this review is in the wrong thread. Anyway, wow. I've been to New York City and ate at the original Joe's Pizza. What an epic slice of pizza. Now back home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the great white north of snow that never ends, I finally tried the frozen Di Fara pepperoni pizza from Target no less. Sorry Joe's, but this is on par with your pizza (if it was frozen). Dave Portnoy was right with his high review. This pizza is very good. The thick cut pepperoni, great basil, and the crisp chewy crust was excellent for a frozen pizza. Nice under carriage as well. I cooked the pizza at 480 degrees in an electric pizza oven for 10 minutes, and the result was very good. I added a drizzle of hot honey, and it was spectacular (okay, I also added some fresh picked jalapeños as well). The pizza was hot and melted in the center, and the crust was very crisp, but still had some chew. Wow. This was the best frozen pizza I have had. Bar none. New York, you spoiled me when it came to pizza. Now I can get a taste of New York at home. Great job! I may or may not eat the last 3 pieces currently sitting in the fridge before bed.

Used to come frequently when Dom was alive. Watching him make a pizza was a true art form. He had…read moregrace, discipline, and love. He would pull the pans with his bear hand out of the oven and generously drizzle olive oil from a rustic copper container over every pie. He would then meticulously inspect the dough for bubbles. Then pop back in the oven for the imported olive oil to permeate and create a beautiful glistening coat. And once cooked he would then graciously cut basil on top of the pie. Dom has now passed but his legacy continues. I've always compared the then pie vs now. And like most things,, nothing beats the original. This is still a very good slice. I once rated them as the best in NYC. Unfortunately, its not at the very top but still on the podium. Coming back feels like you are saying hello to an old friend. If you haven't been, you have to try at least once.

On my most recent visit, a whole fresh plain pizza pie for still only $22.75 is insane. Best price for a pie in NYC, not counting all the dollar slice stores since they make shit pizza. We ordered a whole pie half plain and half pepperoni, which is only $2.50 more. What I notice right away is the zesty tomato sauce, which Has love. However, I must admit that the crust was a bit too hard for my taste. Yes! It was crispy, but biting through it was somewhat difficult. Overall a good slice, but maybe the dough was off a bit that day. Regardless, Luigi's Pizza is an institution and I will be back again next time I'm in the area. Hopefully, I get a great slice like the ones I remember from the past.

As we all know, L and B are famous for their king of all kings, Sicilian Square slice.

The Sicilian square "features a crispy crust, pillow-soft dough in the center, and is uniquely assembled with mozzarella cheese on the bottom and a rich tomato sauce on top". We call it the inverted pizza slice because sauce ideally is on the bottom and mozzarella cheese bubbling on top. I visited L and B for my pizza cheat on a really sunny summer like day last week and waited on line, yes, on a Wednesday afternoon there was a line.. I went up to the window and placed my order and waited ten minutes more for a fresh out of the oven pie to come out. I was asked which corner of this gorgeous pizza universe I wanted. " The slightly charred corner, please". I found my table and devoured two squares. I was getting my summer groove on. The slices were fresh, bubbly sauce, the melted mozzarella on the focaccia bread.. made my day! Is it possible for pizza to deliver this warm and fuzzy feelings? You better believe it!

Overall 5/5: I am not a pizza person and don't eat dairy but wanted a nostalgic New York slice…read more This place definitely hit the spot. Expensive though, about $55 dollars for a vegan 18-inch Margherita pie with 3 toppings. Was it worth it for the experience? Yes. Would I recommend to someone who wanted to try it at least once for a good dairy-free pizza? Absolutely, I couldn't even tell this was vegan cheese. Would I get it again? Maybe (?) once in a while as a treat with price being the only barrier. Service 5/5: This was great. I came here the other day to inquire about their vegan pizza and just wanted to try a slice. The person found his manager to talk to me about this. They were super friendly and explained to me the situation. This location only sold vegan options in full pies and their other DOP Fast Life location does sell vegan slices, but they didn't try to push me to buy. I came back today and the staff today were also very welcoming. Ambiance 5/5: Rustic red brick interior with warm lighting. It was definitely bustling on a Friday night. Food 5/5: Delicious pizza. I do regret that I ate it cold after driving 30 minutes to pick it up so I did not get the full experience. But the crust was still crunchy. I do wish the toppings were a little heavier but the tomato chunks in the sauce tasted very fresh. A very classic New York style pizza and I couldn't even tell it wasn't real cheese. Vegan garlic knots were great too.

Fresh mozzarella, a nicely thin crisped crust, sweet tomato sauce, and fresh basil makes this simple pizza taste great. The fried calamari also impressed. It tasted notably fresh--light, clean, and not overly chewy like pre-frozen versions can sometimes be. While I can't say for certain, it had that just-prepared quality that makes a difference. The Caprese salad was a great way to start the meal, with fresh tomatoes, creamy burrata, and a balsamic drizzle was a nice light start. The atmosphere leans old-school Italian, which adds to the charm and character. Service was fine--nothing remarkable, but no major issues either. That said, my overall rating takes a big hit solely for the restaurants ridiculous tipping policy choices rather than the food itself. The automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill was frustrating. The menu does indicate that 18%, will automatically apply, or will be 20% for parties of six or more. We were only three people, so it felt inconsistent and unnecessary. On top of that, the added cost for credit card usage didn't help. I don't mind tipping for good service! In fact, I tip well--but I prefer having the choice and I'm old school so it's the principle of the matter. Being forced into it, takes away from an otherwise enjoyable meal. Bottom line: the food is strong and worth trying, but the billing practices leave a bad taste. If those were adjusted, this could easily be a higher-rated experience.
