    The Vodka Square Slice
    Clarissa A.

    I had come across this spot from Instagram and sometimes it can not turn out so well but since she was a native of Brooklyn i figured I'd give it a shot. Wow it did not disappoint! As expected when you go in this place has the ultimate New York Brooklyn neighborhood vibes with employees talking to customers out front, working hard behind the counter to take orders, or seating people in the dining area for dinner. I ordered a square from the counter - super simple with their house sauce... this did not have any cheese, just great dough, perfectly crispy, awesome flavor on the sauce, not soggy at all, and just the perfect size. I could have eaten another piece easily! And with a soda less than $10 also a pretty good deal.

    Great little family dine in or to go spot for classic Brooklyn Sicilian pizza! The Sicilian slice was great and unique, and we tried a few of their other slices which were also pretty good. I haven't had much Brooklyn pizza so maybe I'm not a tough critic. The layout is a bit confusing, the left is to be seated and dine in. The right side is to go counter, and you can eat at some tables in the front if looking for quick service. We were a bit confused and ordered at the wrong spot, but the staff didn't mind at all and accommodated us! There was no line/ wait at peak dinner time on a Sunday which is nice.

    Me and my friend were in the area on a cold Saturday afternoon and wanted a quick bite to eat and warm up. There were several pizza spots to choose from but this spot didn't have a long line. We just grabbed a slice and a cup of tea. The staff were very friendly and sweet. I ordered the BBQ chicken slice and my friend had the Sicilian. The Sicilian slices seemed small and my friend said he should've ordered two. We both enjoyed our slices especially with the hot tea to warm up a bit. I love that they gave you regular mugs for your tea. If we weren't on the go we would've definitely sat down for the real dining experience. I would definitely return to check out some other menu items.

    A different type of pizza compared to Juliana's or Grimaldi. Rice ball parmigiana was yum. The pizza was nice but was stuffed after two pieces. The waiter promised me the best tiramisu of my life, but it tasted watery and like cream, no hint of mascarpone - so no, not the best I've had. The dining room is a bit loud and full of stuff - photos, fairy lights, tvs, fake flowers. Sorry, not my fave in the neighborhood.

    Came in on a whim! Decided we want pizza for the evening and dropped by to try out their "world-famous" pizzas. We ordered a few salads and then half pie of the world famous sauce and half pie with vodka sauce. Both were very good and I much preferred the marinara sauce which had just the right amount of tangyness. Apparently these were Sicilian pizzas so definitely a lot thicker than your New York style ones. We ordered the spumoni for desserts and definitely really enjoyed the strong almond flavor! Our server was kind and seemed Italian!

    I stopped by Spumoni Gardens and grabbed two slicesone regular cheese and one Sicilian and honestly, it was a really good experience. The cheese slice was solid with good flavor, definitely enjoyable, but the Sicilian is what stood out. That one was easily one of the better slices I had while I was in NYC. Great sauce, great crust, really well-balanced overall. The employees were super friendly and helpful too, which always makes a difference. Even though the place gets busy, they kept things moving and were patient with people figuring out what to order. The whole spot has that classic, no-frills New York pizza shop feel, which I personally love. It's the kind of place where you can sit down, relax, and just enjoy your food without any fuss. If you're in the area, Spumoni Gardens is definitely worth a stop especially for that Sicilian slice. I'd go back just for that alone.

    Spumoni- Spumoni/rainbow flavor. Vanilla, chocolate, pistachio. Very tasty

    I went to this spot a handful of times to confirm my feelings regarding this place especially in comparison to the original. In short, as with most of the people, yes it's worse than the original location at least in terms of pizza for their famous Sicilian square. This is mostly since the crust is just not as good which takes a lot out of it with it lacking a bit of the crunch and texture. This is unfortunate as the tomato sauce quality is still nice (as long as you don't mind a very bright/slightly acidic tomato sauce which I do like) and the cheese quality is there. If you want to try something that matches the original, you might as well get their excellent spumoni with their classic being a mix of vanilla, chocolate, and pistachio which might be that odd unnatural green but still contains a lot of pistachios for a nice crunch. It's excellent and a nice little lighter comparison to the richer but also excellent Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory a few doors down.

    I was in the area another restaurant. When I saw this place I'd been hearing about L & B Spumoni Gardens for so many years, but never found myself in the same area. So I took advantage of picking up one of the square slices to go. The staff was really down to earth and friendly and served everyone with the same level of hospitality. Coming in just under $5, thus slice was a decent deal. I had it for lunch the next day as I have a toaster oven that has a pizza setting. It tasted fresh and the sauce was bright, but something about the way the cheese was layered tasted like something was missing. Next time, I'll snag a regular slice for comparison.

    This might be the best Sicilian pie I've had in NY, which is of course very high praise -- and this is from a delivery pie! The slice was light but also satisfying, and that tomato sauce was richly flavorful -- will absolutely be grabbing this one again. Also had some of wings & Caesar salad with this one which were also good ... but let's not kid ourselves, the slice is the clear star of the show.

    Buffalo Chicken Round Pie, Margherita Round Pie
    Sally Z.

    Service: 3.6/5 Food: 3/5 Price: $ (under $20) Surprisingly spacious for a pizza shop. I like that they have separate areas for proper dine-in + order-by-the-slice. They're definitely more busy at the counter than for dine-in. They don't have as wide of a selection for their slice shop as I would like. ~$6/slice Cashier forgot the water I order, but it was ok. What I Ordered: - margherita: crust soggy after first bite, ok flavor, tart sauce - la nonna: very garlicky, soft crust, not super fluffy for a sicilian pizza - arugula: ok, fresh ingredients, I just don't like arugula

    Sicilian slice
    Gab G.

    Came at 12:30 PM on a Sunday and there was no line. Nothing beats the OG location, but this one is way more convenient (mainly because it's accessible by public transit). Sicilian slice was fire, and I also really liked the white slice. Note that the dining room and pizza counter have separate menus - proceed to the counter if you're just looking for slices.

    Absolutely loved our experience at L&B Spumoni Gardens in DUMBO! We went with the 12-slice Sicilian style (square ) cheese pizza and it was everything you'd hope for because it was crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor! We also tried the carbonara pasta, which was rich, perfectly cooked al dente, and satisfying. We also enjoyed the potato croquettes and arancini which were huge and shareable as an appetizer. Based on how everything tasted, I could tell that they put a lot of heart into their food. What made our visit really special was the service. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel welcomed. They interacted with our kids and checked up on us to make sure that we enjoyed the food and had everything that we needed. It's rare to find a place that strikes the perfect balance between great food and a truly family-friendly atmosphere and L&B nails it! You can either order through their counter or sit down after checking into the host stand. We'll definitely be back!

    Nothing wrong with this place. And nothing wrong with the Sicilian slice! Honestly the Sicilian slice really got me. I thought sweet sauce was going to be too sweet. NOPE! I thought there wasn't going to be enough cheese for balance. NOPE! This is a good slice The pasta (clam vongole with white sauce) was good as well. Maybe a little under seasoned on the salt side, but they provide it table side. Friendly service as well - our server was so chill and casual. Not meant to be high and fine dining, but this has the hallmarks and the history of a family run spot

It is definitely the best pizza in the US; I say this even after visiting Frank Pepe and Sally's in New Haven, and it's honestly not even close. On our last day before heading back to SF, we ordered a massive whole pie: half burrata, half pepperoni. It nailed the classic NYC slice with a thin, crisp crust and the perfect balance of cheese and sauce. It was so good that my daughter finished her burrata half over three separate sittings: at the shop, on the plane, and once she got home. The pie just kept calling to her! Be prepared for long lines, but it is worth it (and the Brooklyn location definitely has shorter lines than the Manhattan spots). It's not really a sit-down place, so you just have to grab a spot at the bar-top tables if you can find room. The service was good and fast.

    Di Fara Pizza is a renowned pizzeria located at 1424 Avenue J in the Midwood neighborhood of…read moreBrooklyn, New York City. Situated at the corner of East 15th Street and Avenue J, the establishment was owned and managed by Domenico DeMarco (1936-2022), but now his family continues that legacy. Food critics and bloggers frequently rank it among the top pizzerias in New York City. Di Fara has received numerous accolades, including being named the "Best pizza in New York" by publications such as New York and Serious Eats. The New York Times described the restaurant as "one of the most acclaimed and sought-after pizza shops in New York City." In 2011, Zagat ranked it as the top pizza restaurant in the city, and in 2013, Frommer's called its pizza "the Best Hand-Made Pizza in New York City." Chef Anthony Bourdain also expressed admiration for the restaurant's pizza. I had long hoped to visit Di Fara, so I decided to make a trip from Connecticut. Upon entering, my son and I observed that it was quite busy. There is also a window for ordering, but we chose to go inside to order our food to experience the atmosphere fully. We each ordered a freshly prepared Sicilian slice. Unlike some places, there was no pre-made pizza on display. Each slice is made to order, and it takes about twenty-five minutes to prepare. When we received our pizza, it was notably greasy. The Sicilian slices resembled a full meal, topped with garlic and pepperoni. The garlic was quite prominent and flavorful, adding a nice punch which I liked. The pepperoni was crispy, and the undercarriage had a nice crunch, though it was also quite oily. In my personal opinion, it wasn't the best slice I've ever tasted. However, I understand that when the owner, Dom, was alive, the pizza was considered exceptional by many. I would rate it around 3.5 stars, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to experience pizza from one of New York's most iconic establishments.

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.

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.
