This pizza is amazing! Fresh ingredients. Best I've had in NY. And the guys are so nice and friendly. Just a short walk from the Botanical Gardens. read more

There's so many pizza places in Brooklyn that it can be difficult to compare. But for some reason I keep coming back to Joe and Sal's. Crispy crusts, rich sauces, savory and creative toppings combine for some of the best pies in the area. Definitely try the Focaccia crust Sicilian style and extra basil, or anything with caramelized onions. The spicy eggplant is true to its name and will become one of your regulars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Deco is classic NY pizza shop with just a few crowded tables and Italian movie pictures on the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also, say Hi to Alessandro and ask for his daily recommendations. Pro Tip - Get there early for the most choices of slices or have Alessandro make up a special fresh. read more

Good afternoon Fellow Yelpers! It's ya favorite critic again with another #runtellthat fantastic establishment! Located in (Crown Heights) Brooklyn, NY is a place that's been around longer than I have been on this earth! When my cousin suggested that we get pizza, my family wasn't to enthusiastic. But after the bus ride across town to get a "Slice" and a "Pie", things changed quickly. My cousin explained to my family that "up here (NY), we don't do Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa John's or any of that. If you want a real "slice" you go to the Italians, and thats exactly what we did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We knew it was an amazing spot, because of all the foot traffic and phone calls they were receiving; it just didn't stop, lol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once we placed our order: 1 Cheese pie, 2 slices of Pepperoni, and one slice of Pepperoni and Sausage (the sausage wasn't any of those crumbles we get down south, they were real slices) We had a time laughing and picking at my children trying to eat a slice (it was hilarious; you had to be there), I showed them the proper way to fold a slice to consume... It was a memorable experience to say the least. The taste was immaculate to say the least... I was immediately humbled and saddened at the same time, at some point I have to return home back in the south and I am not looking forward to it. For those that live here; somebody should have told me!!!, lol. But if you're ever in the area, passing through, or plan a trip, please make this a food stop on your list, you will NOT be disappointed!! You dont even have to take my word for it, try for yourself and see the difference from what you're used to!!! read more

Located on Franklin Ave nr Prospect Park, BK Musuem, Botanic garden. I stopped by this local spot for a slice. Alessandro was maintaining the counter. I got a plain cheese slice which was $3.50. Cash or credit. Was piping hot when taken out of the oven and almost burned my face off. Poor undercarriage. No fold. Broke apart since it was so hot and the cheese fell off. [[HIGHLIGHT]]OK neighborhood spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating area inside with tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And a clean bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

3rd visit. The Grandma slice was good where it wasn't burnt ( burned on the bottom and crust). The spicey pepperoni with onions and mushroom slice tasted very good though a bit pricey at $7. Service was ok. read more

My mom and I stumbled upon Joe and Sals while we were in the area, for a quick lunch. Upon entrance, it was crowded, but we were helped quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are stickers on the walls with notes from previous customers, which really brought a community feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a pizza shop I feel like kids can grow up going to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One of the guys behind the counter is the son of the owners, so it's a true family-owned business. I have to say, this shop is as Brooklyn Italian as Brooklyn Italian gets. As far as the pizza, there's some pizza spots where I'm not as interested in eating the crust at the end- but with the two slices I got, I couldn't help but eat the whole thing. They were crisp and hearty, and stay put when you fold them instead of flopping down- which pizza buffs know is a sign of a high-quality slice. I got a classic margherita slice, as well as the spicy eggplant, which is topped with thin slices of baked eggplant and chili oil. It had the perfect kick to it while still staying true to its Italian roots. The spicy eggplant slice also had sesame seeds sprinkled on the crust, which just added to the taste of it- trust me when I say, this pizza is exceptionally delicious. (One more thing- don't come here looking for Hawaiian pizza- they care about their product and only serve real pizza!) read more

This place has quickly become my go-to neighborhood slice, and I genuinely look forward to stopping in every time. The pizza is consistently amazing -- Thin, crispy, hot, & so satisfying. It honestly reminds me of the pizza I grew up eating back home in Jersey, which makes it extra special for me What I love most is the variety; They always have such a great selection of slices, and sometimes I secretly hope they're a little low on plain cheese so I can try something new -- Bc every time I do, I end up loving it. The Caprese slice is especially delicious (and somehow feels lighter + fresher if you're trying to get some greens in) Beyond the food, the staff here is incredible. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, & clearly works really well as a team. On one visit, one of the guys working there noticed me and casually asked what I wanted to drink & brought me a water :') Such a small gesture, but it really meant a lot & made me feel so taken care of [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space itself is cozy and inviting, and they recently renovated, which makes it feel even more open & comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love sitting in the back and looking at all the photos, decor, & little mementos while waiting -- It gives the place so much character & warmth[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, this spot never misses; Amazing pizza, great energy, & genuinely kind people -- If you're craving a solid slice, this place delivers every single time read more

Best vegan pizza slice in crown heights. Really. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This pizza bodega is not a spot for dining out unless you're under the age of 18 or extremely comfortable in uncomfortable spaces.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This tiny gem boasts a diverse selection of pizza made from actually fresh ingredients and catering to all dietary preferences and crust types. The service is solid and very neighborly. read more

This place has good Brooklyn style pizza. Clasp 2 hands to together in devotion and bow your head in thanksgiving. They didn't even have mushroom. They did have arugula, baby tomatoes, mozz, sesame seeds on the crust, sprinkled fresh parm & evoo right out the oven! I love pizza. But great pizza. No no this is not my first review & what does that tell you?? I'll tell you what it says it says that when someone asks for you to house sit on President.... You come here. You come to Franklin Ave and you get pizza from these people. And you enjoy it. Deep Dish Pepperoni Ranch 5/5 Margharitas 5/5 Coke no ice was coke no ice read more

We ordered delivery from here. We got the Bianca Pizza with gorgonzola cheese and carmelized onions. We added hot peppers as well. The onions were very sweet and balanced nicely by the sharp cheese. I love that they have a white pie without ricotta. Very tasty. We also got garlic knots, which were soft and buttery. The greek salad had a ton of feta cheese. We asked for the olives on the side and they honored the request. The salad was a good portion size as well. Will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

Question? Why do New Yorkers get so twisted when it comes to pizza? Who has the best? What neighborhood? Greenpoint? Bushwick? Williamsburg? Seriously, it's just bread, cheese, sauce and olive oil? Right? What's the big deal? Answer: for us New Yorkers, especially Brooklynites as myself, IT IS A BIG DEAL!!!!!! Thus, when I'm in a cheating mood no ordinary slice will do. That is why I travel to specific Brooklyn pizza places to find a really great slice. One night I was on Google and the top ten ( here we go, according to pizza enthusiasts) pizza places in Brooklyn popped up. As I scrolled to find a place I have not dined at, Joe and Sal's caught my attention. I was surprised I hadn't dined there due to Eastern Parkway being a home away from home. The article stated the Sicilian slice was THE slice to get. Mind you J and S offer burrata, deep dish, nonna and more as far as Sicilian slice options. So here I am in this cool pizza joint with Michael Jackson staring at me from the poster hung in the back as I order my Sicilian. After a five minute wait, warmed up and asked if I want olive oil drizzled on the slice ( I passed), I stared at my massive slice. Wow! It's love at first sight. But how does it taste, you ask? In the words of Michael Jackson, "Don't stop til you get enough" fantastic! You know that first bite: the synchronicity of bread to cheese to sauce.. it's the ultimate bite and it was yummy. The crust is hard and dense, the cheese and sauce melts in your mouth and just the right amount of sauce. I ate every bite. How does Joe and Sal's ( formerly Nino's) compare to the others? Let's just say it's up there with Paulie Gees, L and B Spumoni, Forninos and yes Robertas. Meaning, THAT GREAT! I dare you to look and my picture of the Sicilian and not salivate! Joe and Sal's location is 862,Franklin Avenue, take 4 or 5 train to Franklin Avenue/ Medgar Evers College stop and exit from Eastern Parkway Southeast which leaves you half a block away. read more

Visited from the Detroit area. Best pizza we ever had. The flavors of each slice were so well blended, the crust deliciously crispy, the sesame fragrant and perfectly toasted. We only had time for one New York pizza outing. I'm glad this was it. read more

Good: The Sicilian slice was really good. Their dough is quite yummy. Service is fast. So-so: Their take on the white pizza was interesting, just not my cup of tea. The bad: They don't have bacon No place to sit Final verdict: Wouldn't object to trying it again if I was in the area and needed to-go only. read more

One of the best and most creative slice shops in Brooklyn. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great old school Brooklyn vibes too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Good, simple pizza. The staff is always kind and apologetic for any long wait times. Ordering is easy online, and pickup is easy at the outside window. I haven't had to actually go into the store. Early in the pandemic, they built a little outdoor seating area in the street. The inside is pretty narrow, so I don't think they have much, if any, seating inside anyway. The fact that they built a patio area is pretty nice, especially if you arrive early and your pizza isn't ready yet. This place is a 4/5 for me, because I feel the prices are a bit expensive for what you get. Also, I'm not particularly a fan of the crust, and I wish they used more cheese. Overall, this is a solid place to pick up a pie. I definitely recommend the garden pizza. read more

My boyfriend and sister and a are visiting the area from Miami and we stopped by here for a quick slice. It felt like a really authentic NY pizza experience and the pizza chef who helped us pick our order was so great. He loves what he does and it shows. It made eating there all the better! He also hooked us up with the best cannoli I ever had in my life. I would definitely recommend grabbing a slice here! read more

Another eye catcher along Court Street was the decorative lights outside which wrapped both curbside trees in the green, red and white and if there's a game with the naming of flags of the world, I believe myself to be a viable player. Santa was hanging on from the front fire escape as if someone closed the window upon his inflatable mittens but the visual was adorable. As to was the inside, holiday music streaming across above our heads with the tweeter and the tinsel engaged in metallic light and sounds. Mini pine cone shaped multi lights, the older kind that will put a third degree burn on ya with just one quick touch doubled in illuminati against the double mirrors, but the slice reheat is taking a long time and I'm done with googling the lights and tinsel. Plus the person next to me is as loud as a heated union negotiator on his Walmart prepay phone trying to impress with his "gimme a pie" order, until he found out it's cost then quieted down with his revamped"two slices" order. A super delicate crust gives me such joy, it's exactly how the NYC slice of pizza should be, gosh it was perfect so I take back my "reheat is taking a long time" commentary. Stretchy flavorful mozzarella, a light sweetbess to the sauce, very well balanced -- this pizza parlor really impressed me! read more

The pizza here is great so I decided to try the pasta tonight. I decided on the spaghetti and meatballs. It came with 2 medium sized dry mediocre meatballs and the sauce was salty and extremely acidic. I wouldn't recommend this at all. Delivery time was super quick and friendly. I'll stick with the pizza from now on. read more

I'm not quite as enthused about Joe & Sal's as Dave Portnoy. I made a trip to the very tough neighborhood of Crown Heights to sample their fare. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior of Joe and Sal's for sure needs some love.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a Fresh Mozzarella slice, and a Sicilian slice. Both of my slices were good, but nothing to jump up and down about. My bill with a bottle of Cherry soda was $13.75. Thank U next! read more

The best pizza we had on our trip to NYC!! Not only that, my son dropped his pizza while walking to the table, it was replace with a "no problem" and we weren't allowed to pay for the extra slice. The same son left his backpack in the shop and realized it 2 blocks later. When we returned it had been picked up and put behind the counter for safe keeping. Highly recommended. read more

Solid pizza, had the margherita and plain cheese slice. Garlic knots are hefty and chewy, better than your average. Don't forget the chili oil!!! An advantage to picking up your pizza in person. After waiting for just a few minutes, the demand for it was readily apparent. Has real peppers in it, and maybe spicier than the typical Chinese chili oil! Wouldn't be surprised if they trademark it ;) read more
