Brooklyn Express Pizza & Pasta - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Irmo, South Carolina

Let me get this straight...$25.29 for a large gourmet pizza and add $10 to that for a pizza that's only 2" larger. Crazy-WOW! The pizza was not worth $36+, so maybe update your menu or explain your pricing better. To sum it up this pizza may be worth the money for a large, but never order an extra large pie. read more

Pizza and employees are amazing here and the atmosphere is great. I love coming here for a slice of pizza and they have a great lunch special daily. Thank you! read more

I hate to make a review like this, especially since how I USED to feel about this place. Unfortunately, this place went from being the best pizza in the area to the worse. I rather get Dominoes. It really changed since they changed ownership a few years ago. If you want good pizza like it's from NY, Papa Gios has waaaay better pizza. read more

Okay; so this was a very hard review. For one; I didn't get what I ordered. I ordered chicken fettuccini Alfredo. What I got was Penne noodles covered in Alfredo sauce, and chicken. At first; I was surprised by the price $23 a plate for pasta? This had better be the best fettuccini Alfredo ever! However; I quickly realized that they serve you enough for 2 people. That definitely makes up for the cost and brings the price back down by half. So; was the dish good? Yes; on a scale of 4 out of 5, it was good. The biggest selling point in taste was the sauce. I was disappointed that they didn't use or have portobello mushrooms. Let me make it clear, that I've only tried the one dish, and had they gotten my order right, I probably would have given them a higher rating. read more

Delicious!!! Love finding little gems when we travel and this is certainly one of them! Great evening of pizza, beer and axe throwing! Ordered 1/2 Brooklyn's Finest and 1/2 BBQ Chicken pizza, a dozen wings (medium) and salad-- they brought it next door (to the axe throwing room) where there was a great selection of beer on tap. Leftovers for lunch the following day were just as delicious. GO HERE- you'll be glad you did! read more

The pizza was phenomenal and best customer service I have ever seen. I will hundred percent be back. read more

Second time eating here. Called in this time- folks are incredibly nice, thoughtful, and helpful. Explained it would take me 30 mins to arrive, so could they delay start time for cooking food- no problem! Calzone is amazing, and the marinara is so good!!! You are missing out if you haven't tried this place! read more

As a northeast transplant, it's been a true struggle to find pizza that can hold a candle to my favorite shops back home, or even my LEAST favorite shops back home. For months, my wife and i felt like we'd never find anything close. But finally, during a drive to Irmo, we stopped into Brooklyn Express. It was truly a slice a home. The environment, the price and most of all the pizza. Had 2 slices of cheese pizza and a drink. (The special). My god! Real pizza at last! We will be back. Again and again. Also, can't wait to check out the new axe throwing place next door. Cheers to Brooklyn. Thank you. read more

I am from NYC. I know pizza. This was a big disappointment. It was raw, like doughy raw. the outer edge was burnt but the middle was raw. We also had the advertised "fresh" fried mushrooms and broccoli cheese bites, these were not fresh but frozen from a food vendor, not good at all. When I asked for the sauce that comes with the mushrooms (ranch) the girl at the counter just looked at me like "Huh?" they gave me marinara sauce I waited a couple days to write this review, thought about it and realized that I threw away $56.00 on sub par pizza, it literally went into the garbage, all of it...I wish it could have been better. Not recommended read more

Momma Mia! I've been here a few times and I have yet to be disappointed. The staff is always in bright spirits and very attentive. I love the two slice special which includes a drink. Sausage and pepperoni is my base slice, then I'll pick one of the other options. The pasta dishes are also very tasty. Of course every visit starts with a dozen garlic knots and ends with, "I ate too much but it was totally worth it". read more

Very good pizza for SC and especially in downtown Columbia. Ordering online was a breeze and the order was accurate although they did put complimentary jalepenos on hubby's side of the pizza with the cherry peppers that he did order and that was a nice touch. The 16 inch is a good size to order for two. The pizza was ready promptly and the cashier was really nice. I am not really a fan of oregano on pizza but this works cause they do not put too much. This is a good take out place but a little too tiny during COVID for sit-down service for me. It was a pleasant surprise and glad to have this option in Cola. read more

Ate here about a week ago. Most assuredly different under new ownership. Rje pizza is ok but not as good as previous owners. Maybe the crust is little different not much sauce either. The reheat of the pizzas that you have to choose is not very warm or melting of the cheese I do miss the previous owners read more

I was visiting a friend in SC and he recommended this place. I thought the pizza was great, fun environment , and the service was exceptional. Tyler showed a great level of hospitality and he was funny too which was a bonus. I recommend checking this place out read more

This might be the best pizza in South Carolina. it's definitely the best in the Irmo/Columbia area!!

Guys!! If you want to be treated right and get some delicious food at the same time...this is your place!!! They are a family owned business and they are professional and very hospitable. I swear I wanted to just stay there and hang out. Their pizza is perfect, it has just the right crunch and there sauce and cheese is absolutely amazing. And my husband is a wing expert and he highly recommends their char boiled wings. I've tried them too and they are finger licking good! The place is clean and I called ahead and ordered my food to good and was in and out read more

Having moved here from NY/NJ area we weren't expecting decent pizza in SC. HOWEVER, Brooklyn Express in Irmo, SC was a wonderful surprise. Their Margherita Pizza was one of the best ever even comparing pizzas from NY/NJ area. Generous mozzarella, caramelized onion with basil and fresh sauce on top of a perfectly yummy thin crispy crust. Any displaced northerners? Go give it a try. read more

Brooklyn Express is AMAZING. We have had pizza here (2 slice and a drink special is on point!) but our absolute fave is the pizza rolls. My husband and I spent the day together for our anniversary a few months back and we went to Brooklyn Express. We split a Philly Cheesesteak roll and got the garlic bread (w/ cheese....of course). We were so full we could hardly stand it. THEN - they brought us a fried cheesecake because it was our anniversary. They are the nicest and seriously have the best pizza this side of Brooklyn. read more

I've given this place two trys. First time was just a doughy pizza. Deff not a New York style pizza. I made sure to ask for thin crust also. Today came again. Just tried to keep it simple with just cheese and some garlic knots. The garlic knots are good just was cold, and the pizza super disappointing. I asked for extra crispy, I got extra oil and a little burnt on the back but still not crispy still flimsy. Owner and the older cook super nice. Friendly. Just need to work on the pizza quality. Maybe I need to order a specialty pizza ? Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong read more

Get better please! We need better pizza from you guys! Ain't like it used to be but it could be...

NYC Pizza. That's what you get here. It's done right and it's done awesome. When u think NYC pizza you think a large slice you can fold with one hand and eat on your feet. It has a thin crust that is crunchy and chewy at the same time. You got your slice in one hand and your paper plate in the other, and do a head tilt as you go in for a bite. It leaves a puddle of reddish orange grease on your plate that can be mistaken later for a kid's classroom art project. If that's what your looking for, this is where you'll find it. Don't come here thinking your gonna get pizza hut or domino's... that's commercial pizza. This is the real authentic NYC stuff right here. Don't forget to pick up an order of garlic knots if your lucky enough to get some while their in stock. People love em and they run out cause they're that good. I come here as often as I can and my body allows. If you come at a busy time, expect a wait. That's how it is everywhere. Everyone is a diva nowadays and thinks they come first, and snap your fingers for what you want, when you want, and how you want... wake up folks, it don't work that way. This place is great and you won't be the only one there on a Friday and Saturday night! Don't get your panties in a bunch because they don't serve up food as quickly as Mickey D's. You want quality, sometimes you gotta be understanding on a busy night. So do yourself a favor, get yourself a real NYC slice, cause you never had one around here till now. read more

We got some pizza delivered one cheese and one with sausage. It was pretty good and I would definitely order again if/when I come back to Irmo. Crust was thin and had a nice texture. The cheese was also high quality. read more

So I went there the first time and it was cool. Not really from NY but they had a special $4/2. went back the 2nd time and it was trash. Even though I order 2 orders the cook only cooked one and before hearing the situation he/she/they took a look at me and said I'm not making another slice. The owner happen to be there and he was just as rude. I ordered the same special as last time. I will try to include pictures and receipt when I update. They have a child running the front and no good customer service the owner was clearly very racist and rude! NEVER GO THERE! Trust me they are not even real NEWYORKERS read more

Employees were nice , pizza was good and I recommend them. Fast service and cute set up

This is a nice little family run pizza a pasta joint that has great quality, service, good portions and flavor. I had a calzone that was big enough for two (lunch tomorrow), my daughter had the stuff shells, one grandson had the wings and the other had a small pizza that was big enough for two. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be back! I gave it only 4 stars because of the size of the place - but if the business continues to expand they'll need a bigger place. read more

Husband has been wanting to try this place for a while, so I gave it a shot. I accidentally ordered two cheese pizzas online. They we're delicious, though! We'd definitely try more items in the menu. I don't understand why the wings were so expensive, though. I heard there was a shortage, but 12 for $18 is a little crazy. They did let us have 6 for free to try out, so that was really nice of them to do! We'll be back! read more

Really fast delivery (some credit must go to grubhub). The Pizza was delicious! We would get it again when in town.

As a Bostonian, I was trying to find some authentic pizza instead of a chain. Read the reviews and thought I would give it a try. $26 for a large pizza and I couldn't finish one slice. Not sure what type of sauce they used, but it was awful. Nothing like I have ever tasted before, certainly never in Brooklyn/NY/Boston. The employees were very nice. But I would rethink the sauce you are using. May be a one off and if I went back, it might be better. But sad I am throwing away a $26 pizza after one slice. Should have bought a frozen pizza at Food Lion. read more

It is a very good pizza. Good flavor and crust. It's a little bit pricey well worth it.

Being a yankee transplant from New York I want to start by saying Brooklyn Express is an absolutely authentic NY pizza place. The crust is perfect, completely traditional. The sauce is amazing right down ro obscene amounts of garlic. When the crust is right and the sauce is right everything falls into place. Columbia has been missing true NY style pizza and being a self professed pizza snob I will say this place nails it. If you want something truly unique give the stuffed pizza a try. It's huge and thick and outstanding. We've been twice now. First visit were ate in house. Great food, great service. Second visit was takeout and although the pizza was amazing the service was very slow. It was Halloween night and storming and they were beyond busy. It won't deter us from going back, it's just too good. You want the real deal, this is it. read more

I had heard good things, so I decided to order my go to New York style pizza... pepperoni. When I got it, the first thing I noticed was it was covered in pepperoni. Most place average one or two pieces per slice, but this one has way more! It also had a nice thick layer of cheese on it and a good amount of sauce. Their dough was very good too. I don't normally eat the crust on most pizzas, but I liked the taste of theirs. Their price is higher than a lot of the chain pizza places, but they definitely don't skimp on ingredients! I will definitely go back. read more

Finally!!! I have arrived. I have read and read the reviews. I ordered my pizzas for carry out. I arrived and had to wait a little longer. No biggie. I had a funny conversation with the son I assume. Younger boy running the cash register. We had a funny moment when my cc would run through. He had to plug it it and said "what does no dial tone mean?"...I got a good laugh and we talked about how long long ago...we had dial up. Back to the food. So I ordered 3 small pizzas. Pepperoni, Brooklyn's Finest and the primavera. I ordered the pepperoni for my kids. The pepperoni was generous, the sauce has a little spiciness to it, obviously my kids had no problem. My husband had the Brooklyn's finest. It was absolutely delicious, very very generous with the toppings. The toppings are actually a perfect size for a pizza. I am talking about bite ratio. Where you take a bite and literally half your toppings are dragged off and onto the floor. Not these pizzas. The toppings are perfect bite size. If you are a fan of a "supreme" pizza I recommend this one. Another delicious tip about this pizza is, once you bite a piece, you first taste the freshness of the sauce and the a little sweetness hits your palate. It is very pleasing. Not too acidic or bitter. Very smooth sauce. My pizza the Primavera, a veggie like pizza, was absolutely delicious, filled generously with toppings. Here is the sweet kicker. So I was a little worried about eggplant on my pizza , to me eggplant is mushy. HELLO PEOPLE....get ready for this....there were small squares of sweetly fried eggplant crunchies on the pizza. They were so yummy!!!!! So if you choose to visit this sweet pizza joint. Enjoy watching the family hustle back and forth, no one sits idle. Be patient, great food takes time, understand this is a small family owned business who takes great pride in their food. You get what you pay for at this restaurant. Enjoy! read more

Born and raised in Buffalo. Their wings are the closest I've found in Cola to real Wings.

Sooo yummy. There are only a couple NY style pizza places in the Columbia area, and this one is by far the best! Very authentic. Delicious dough and delicious sauce. Any flavor is good but I love classic cheese- can't go wrong. Their wings are also amazing! Reasonably priced and so tasty. We have eaten here several times in the past couple of weeks because we've been craving it! Highly recommend! read more

Decided to try a local place as were still new to the area. We got one pepperoni and it was pretty good. The issue was the gourmet pizza. We tried the blanco and it was lacking any seasoning and was globed with ricotta. We are from the north east and this was disappointing to say the least. Especially with a $24 price tag. read more

Absolutely love this place! About as close to authentic NYC pizza as it gets! Perfectly chewy crust, fresh toppings and delicious, homemade tomato sauce give these pies the edge over the competitors! You won't be disappointed! Don't forget to try the garlic knots! :) read more

Good food overall... But outrageous prices. I ordered 1 slice 6 wings and garlic knots. Almost18 bucks read more
