Undercarriage.  Floppy
Andrew C.

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]]

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!)

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

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

classic new york slice. pepperoni burrata was bomb. the chicken roll is like the hot pocket of new york.

Salumi Pizza
Vivian L.

Phenomenal pizza with fast and welcoming service, what more could you ask for! We ordered the salumi personal pie and it was phenomenal, super fresh. The salumi with the hot oil was perfect. The crust was amazing, very very crispy and kept it all together. The decor was very unique for a pizzeria with hilarious signage and booth seating. I'd definitely come back!

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.

Look at all their locations!

This is literally the best pizza I've ever had in my life. It had just the right sauce, Margherita flavor WITH marinara, and pepperoni. It's like the pizza I always dreamed of. Made with so much love.

I've spent hours sourcing the best cappuccino in the Carroll Gardens / Boerum Hill / Cobble Hill /…read morePark Slope neighborhoods. And this is it. I haven't tried them all, obviously -- too many coffee shops -- but what I have tried, and come back to, over and over, is the products of the amazing team at Posto. It's not just about the skillfully made drinks or the balance of flavors, the fresh, Italian-style coffee or the filled-to-order Italian donuts and Maritozzos (iykyk) -- it's the overall ambience. You come here to put down the screen and enjoy the moment. So often do we rush through our coffees, or even bring them to meetings, at the beck and call of the city's hustle. But at Posto the kind, talented, customer-first team asks you to slow down and escape all of that, to savor every sip of coffee in the classic Italian style. Walking in feels more like a poem than a cafe. Gone are the transactional, disingenuous "how are you's" and instead you get to discover all sorts of fun barista (and bar) creations, Tuscan products, and fresh pasta. The servers and owner are always read to provide a recommendation, and like in Italian cafes, they bring whatever treats and drinks you land on to you. (My favorite aperol spritz is also from Posto.) Outside, the peaceful garden hosts two large umbrellas. It's vibrant, as if you're in a neighbor's backyard and they are willing to share a colorful moment with you, birds chirping overhead. As I finished the last drop of my cappuccino this morning, I realized that forty-five minutes had passed, and every sip of coffee was just as good as the last. Thank you!

The things I usually look for in a coffee shop: a friendly neighborhood vibe, a nice place to work,…read morea stellar brew, and perhaps a delectable snack to go with it. I don't feel like Un Posto hits the nail on the head for any of these. The menu is incredibly confusing--one part is on a chalk board, another is written under the countertop, another two are printed out next to the register and they all say different things without explanations of what any of the drinks even are. I spent at least 10 minutes letting other folks in front of me at the counter because I was paralyzed by choices I didn't understand, luckily the baristas were able to provide clarity on some of them. They have cocktails, coffee cocktails, coffee drinks, and several food menus. We came hungry, only to see the sandwich menu taken away because they were out (this was at 3 pm, and they close at 7). This is such a New York thing, but if you're selling cocktails and groceries until the evening, running out of mortadella sandwiches is not the same as when Radio Bakery sells out by noon... Maybe it's me but I'm not particularly looking to get a plate of prosciutt and burrata with my coffee (which is what they had left), and the sandwiches here are supposed to be amazing and were the main reason why we chose this place. We had come here to co-work, but saw that there were no laptops allowed, not even in a specific window, just period. I take issue with this because for some of us, coffee shops are vital spaces not to get sucked into the void of our screens but to write, share ideas, and work in the company of our support system. The coffee I got was an Italian iced coffee with no milk and almond syrup, pretty good but a smallish portion. My friend's latte was white, and tasted like foamy milk with just a hint of espresso... very odd. Usually that cool pretentious European vibe results in delicious food and drink, so I expected to be blown away, but it was just okay. Some of the higher-up staff are quite snippy, doesn't seem like the kind of place where if you're a regular people know your name and want to chat. The accusatory sign in the bathroom really says it all. The best part of this place is the gorgeous back patio, but it's harder to enjoy it when you've walked into a place that already makes you feel like you don't belong there, implying you're a toilet-clogging laptop addict who doesn't know any coffee lingo. I could see stopping in to pick up some fresh pasta and grabbing a cappuccino to go, but what's the fun in that?

Management was very accommodating on various levels - no need to describe the details as it's not relevant for an average review. know before you go - you literally have no other cheese but to have cheese in your pasta. Note that this is not a place for lactose intolerant kinds. I thought the concept was fresh pasta (which it is) but their ultimate menu items must include that cheese wheel. So fine. I figured they can at least give a non-cheese dish but rules are the rules. The place was packed on a weekend early evening. Lines were not forming (like it showed in the viral videos) but they were cooking up quite a bit at the front, because of carry out orders. Either way, on all angles - literally pretty much everything is ALL good and very positive. However, the one thing that needs to be addressed is that wheel made of cheese. Whoever created that chunk of a wheel, kudos to them/company. By golly - that gargantuan of a wheel was so filled with calories - I kid you not, it almost converted me to being lactose intolerant! So if you're about to have triple bypass the next day, I do not recommend this joint until you're fully healed. Yes, the flavors were good, but the cheesey elements were just too too rich. You also cannot tell them to lessen it, it's just set the way they cook the pasta within that barrel. Otherwise, the decor/ambience was nice, and tidy aspects really show through. Customer service was wonderful. Support your local businesses!

We went around Christmas and it was decorated inside. The restaurant was packed. Every single table was full. Everyone was having the best time. Even the bar was totally full of people ordering drinks before they were seated. The food is classic, New York Italian. Everything is a very well done version. The veal Parm was one of the best I've ever had. The caramel cake at the end was truly beyond. I can't recommend this experience enough. We ate for three hours had amazing cocktails, great bottles of wine and a really delicious meal. Looking around, you could tell the diners were locals enjoying a beloved neighborhood restaurant.

The interior looks like a classic Italian restaurant and service is very formal. It was quite busy for a weekday night. There's valet parking so you don't have to stress about finding street parking nearby. We ordered fried calamari, baked clams, baked vodka penne, and the Fisherman's Platter. We were served bread and some antipasto to start. The calamari was a classic and I loved the sauce -- it had a good spicy kick to it. The baked clams were okay. The Fisherman's Platter is a must and good value with its generous portion of seafood. It can definitely be shared amongst two people. The baked vodka penne was also good but portion was on the smaller side. I would say Michael's is a must try at least once.
