    Love this place! The pizza was delicious, the crust was thin and crispy, and it's such a cute little spot. I ordered at the window and they have a few chairs outside.

    Pepperoni and cheese

    DELICIOUS!! Of course the moments leading up to finding this amazing place could possibly be the reason for making this spot taste even better. That is after having a long night out in downtown Wilmington, this is the place you'd want to end your night! The cheese melts right off but has that cheese pull that you want from any pizza. The pizza crust is nicely toasted on the bottom but not rock hard. Taste exactly like an wood fired oven baked pizza. One slice, although big, is not enough so be sure to grab more than one if they havent run out by the time youre next in line! The lively seen of downtown will call you here at night for sure and you wont regret it!

    Gyro Slice
    David S.

    Incredible pizza, so much flavor and totally worth every penny. I got the gyro pizza and it literally tasted like eating a gyro, tons of flavor packed in. They have a lot of different kinds so I kinda wish I ordered more to try. The staff was really friendly and they even have a takeout window which makes it super easy. Only downside is it's in a sketchy area with a lot of homeless around, but the pizza itself is amazing.

    A solid slice, about exactly what you'd expect from an NC pizza, but definitely not worth 5$ plus the tip! However I can appreciate serving by the slice, a convent NY staple that many pizza places in the area miss out on for sure! If any other spots in town are reading this, a quick slice goes along way for convenience and could be something to consider!

    It used to be better. My wife and I got engaged in NYC. There's something so special about the city that never sleeps that they write songs and make movies about it. It's influenced popular culture and cuisine around the world. So many places claim to have REAL NYC pizza. Pre covid you could actually go inside and stand at the counter, or maybe sit at the table or two. I'd imagine covid stopped that, and they've kept their carry out model ever since. There are 3 tables and 9 chairs out on the sidewalk to give you a minute to eat your food, so don't be completely out off by the new carryout model. The pizza used to be amazing. $9.00 and change for 2 slices of carryout. The toppings, while not sparse, we're not generous. And the overall quality of the pizza was so-so. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat that won't break the bank, this is probably the place. If you're looking for the best pizza of pizza or a slice of nostalgia, keep walking.

    Sicilian Pizza
    John B.

    This place is running as a takeout window in a narrow, downtown Wilmington spot. It feels very New-York-y both in appearance and aroma. I ordered online and mine was ready close to when I ordered. Most people just seemed to be walking up to the window and buying a slice, but I bought a ton of pizza. They do have a couple of tables on the sidewalk. The margherita pizza I tried seemed straightforward enough, but I really didn't like how they did it. The tomatoes were so heavy that the pizza was a bit wet, and the acidity and tartness was too much. I ended up picking off a bunch of tomatoes and saving them to mix in with other dishes, which improved the taste a bit. The garlic was spread unevenly, and the fresh mozzarella, while nice, seemed like almost an afterthought. I think I'd be much happier with a regular cheese pizza with a bit of sauce. The Sicilian pizza I got with peppers and mushrooms and liked far more. The toppings seemed fresh (I'm no fan of canned or pickled peppers or mushrooms). It was a robust and filling slice with a pleasantly browned edge. If I come back, I'll know what to order. This is not the kind of place to go if you're looking for an unconventional pizza because you have issues with wheat or dairy. It's pretty much all wheat and dairy. But the cheese quality is high, the smell tantalizing and I could easily see why their by-the-slice business was going strong.

The restaurant was spacious with a lot of seating and tables to choose from, and bathrooms were clean. The thin crust Napoletana was incredibly filling and delicious, and the pistachios were also quite good. It was an enjoyable experience overall.. Highly recommend!

    I've been here before and I thought the pizza was fresh and tasted great. It tends to be a bit…read morecrispy or toasty so I'd you don't like that kind of thing then this won't be for you. Our party was of 5 and each pie had 6 to 8 slices. Everything was cooked fresh. The cannolis the first trip were very fresh but they load up the cannoli with powdered sugar and chocolate syrup so it was disappointing to learn you can't ask for them to be fresh made without all the 'extra'. The first trip came to just under $100 though for the small pies and a cannoli. No drinks. Fast fwd to today, I was craving some pizza and my youngest wanted to get ice cream and I recalled they had a small gelato selection. I also figured I'd grab a couple of cannoli but I didn't recall them being $5.50 a piece!... it's been a hot min though but that was fine. Today, however, the cannoli shell was SO soft so I'm glad I decided to take a bite while waiting on the FUNGI pizza (which was phenomenal btw- delicious!!)... the cannoli tasted and was clearly old and as crazy as it sounds a little windexy. So I asked for replacement thinking for $12+ dessert I'm not sticking with a soggy dessert - the young man working was kind enough to offer to make new fresh ones for me including eliminating all the sugar powder and syrup. I thought that was nice. I do like the fungi pizza a lot and it's very tasty. Including the plain from first visit and the white pie. I think my issue with the restaurant is the pricing is incredibly high for pizza that doesn't always scream' best in the area' and it's not an 'Italian' business. They are from Turkey but they do a great job with the look and feel of Italy. But we're authentic Italians know what "buffalo mozz is" and what is in cannoli cream so while it's good tasting.. it's not exactly what we'd expect.

They also have a location near UNC Wilmington, but visited this strip mall location on Market Street since it was closer to us and reviews seemed comparable. There are several tables inside for dining in, but it's mainly a take out/delivery type of place as the set up is very utilitarian and functional without much atmosphere. That being said, the service at the counter when ordering and also when receiving food at the table was kind and friendly. We went with an order of garlic cheese bread and a large 18 inch cheese pizza. I have no basis of comparison with regards to quality or price compared to other places in the Wilmington area, but $24 for a simple pizza without toppings seemed a bit expensive. Both items were decent, but wouldn't compete with the quality of pizza ingredients I'm used to in the NJ/NY/PA area. The pizza was cooked well with a great undercarriage, albeit a bit oily, but the cheese, sauce, and crust didn't compare to the great pizza I'm spoiled with back home. That said, nothing was particularly bad, so grading on a regional curve, I'd rate Brooklyn Pizza Company a 3.5/5, which I'm happy to round up since all the employees were friendly, and it was a decent dinner overall.

Pretty awesome selection of pizzas and Italian dishes, as well as other munchies you don't see at many other pizza joints that I've seen, such as the various stuffed rolls. Love that they have Sicilian pizza, my favorite! And you can get pizza by the slice which is always good in a pinch! Affordable prices, good portions, and reasonable wait times... as in, not at all any longer than necessary for your food to be made fresh and ready for you to enjoy in a timely manner! With my order this evening, I did try to place it online but for some reason the final send through button wouldn't not let me push it to complete my order. Not at all a big deal to me, as I could call if I wanted but also I was only a couple of miles away so I just went in. I only mentioned this to the guy working the counter in case they needed to know if there was a problem with their website. I sat behind the window where you can watch them make pizza. All the staff looked happy like they enjoyed their jobs and each other which was sweet. My order was ready promptly (Eggplant Parm) and for whatever reason, they decided to throw me in some cannolis as a treat! My meal hit the spot, and the cannolis are delicious! I just want to say thank you for the extra treat, it wasn't necessary or expected but it was very kind and much enjoyed! Thank you BPC for always being a solid place to enjoy a meal. The owners should be proud of their staff for always holding it down in all of the ways of kind, enjoyable, and efficient. Much love!
