    World Famous L&B Sicilian Slice and Vodka Square Slice.
    Cindy Z.

    L&B has been around for almost a decade, although this location is pretty new. It's located in DUMBO surrounding many other popular pizza spots as well. They offer both a take-out area and dine-in as well. The restaurant isn't too big, but we were able to grab a table on a Sunday afternoon after 5 minutes. Not sure why the wait since there were empty tables. To start, the service was a bit slow to take our order and pay our bill. The server did apologize as they are short staffed, but unfortunately the food didn't make it any better. I had the L&B Sicilian Slice ($4.50) and Vodka Square Slice ($5.50) while the husband had the Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana ($28). The slices were just ok to me, nothing too special. Their signature slice is fluffy and crispy on the bottom, but very simple and wished it had more flavor. As for the chicken parm, my husband was quite disappointed with how rubbery it tasted. We were hungry, so we finished everything but likely won't be back.

    I was visiting Brooklyn from California and had the pleasure of meeting Jack, the manager of L&B. Jack was very hospitable and kind- he held a beautiful conversation with me and had some great recommendations for their pizza. I really appreciated his customer service approach and warmth. Thank you Jack!! I highly recommend this place, the pizza was SOOOO good! 10/10 for atmosphere, customer service, and taste.

    Pizza is amazing. We ordered a vodka square pie and a square pie. I went in to order on a Sunday evening and it was made pretty quickly. Steamy hot pizza! Brought it back to the office and the four of use polished it all off. I have to be honest and say the vodka square was a game changer. This was the first time I ate corners of the pizza. Sorry people! The price was right, the pizza was amazing, and they never disappoint. Check them out if you're in the neighborhood. Plenty of seating at tables and the mini tables. We will definitely be back.

    When it's crowded, this place is miserable. Maybe because I was there for 4th of July and everyone waiting in line for the fireworks were right outside. There was a line for the bathroom that did not move an inch in 30 minutes; and it took that long just to order two slices for takeout. There was no orderly line and people kept ordering/cutting in front of me; a lot of people were frustrated because they thought this was for the restaurant but were in the to-go line instead (pretty sure they were foreign tourists who didn't understand English). The pizza was okay - not sure if I would come back here though with the experience I had.

    I remember the original place in my early 20s and always liked the food. Now I've gone on a 20 year Pizza journey and am armed with how much science it takes to make elite dough. I have to say it's still not bad. The overall flavors were on point, but the Dough felt a little immature with very little crumb structure, and light on the flavor. But the sauce and the cheese and the combinations made every bite super satisfying. It was packed from a bus that just unloaded a ton of people from World Cup and we still managed to pony up to a Countertop. I introduced myself to the manager and man was he amazing. While simultaneously taking care of a busy Restaurant and his whole staff, he created a fantastic working environment with his team and had plenty of time for one-on-one with me about the Pizza game. Finished the day with a little spumoni and all the memories came flooding back In review: It might not be quite elite level Pizza making, but there's enough going on there that it deserves your respect and support. It's classic New York style pizza that just taste great. And they care about your experience. The managers name I forgot cuz I'm a mamaluke but he used to work in the wine business. And he's a gem!

    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.

    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.

    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

Waiting in line to get added to a waitlist that still doesn't always guarantee you will sit down to eat at the requested time - we were seated 40 mins after checking in (unusually long, never had more then 20 mins or so in past visits) but still a strange system, keeps the spot exclusive I'd guess. Have visited several times and always have had a good meal and the prices are very fair. Seating is not super comfortable and they pack you in for real, the restaurant is also unnecessarily dark and loud - But not in a bad way? I can't explain it but the very delicious pizza makes up for the weird ambiance and all the rules... definitely something to experience atleast once.

I've eaten here, come to the Bushwick Block Party to see Action Bronson perform, and spent enough time around Tiki Disco to associate the place with a particularly inventive, free-spirited period in the neighborhood. The dining area still has that wonderfully idiosyncratic character: exposed beams, communal tables, mismatched details, and an open kitchen turning out genuinely excellent pizza. What impresses me most is how naturally Roberta's became more than a restaurant. Food, music, parties, outdoor spaces, and an extraordinary mix of people all seemed to converge here, giving the place a cultural gravity that could never have been designed by committee. It remains one of those places that instantly takes me back to my bachelor years and an especially fun chapter of my time in the city, when Bushwick felt endlessly creative, and Roberta's seemed to sit comfortably at its center.

When the hype got large enough, the owner decided to start a pizzeria and the rest is not history. This is one of the more worthwhile TGTG orders to me.

We visited as a stop on Scott's Pizza Bus Tour, which meant we were actively evaluating it against some of the best pizza in the city. Evaluating pizza on a tour is tricky because excellence becomes relative when you are eating multiple high-end pies in a single afternoon. According to Scott, Brooklyn DOP began in founder Thomas Ardito's apartment during the 2020 lockdowns. With his primary work on pause, he started baking pizza and selling pies through Instagram to pay his rent. People kept ordering. His friend Jason D'Amelio joined the effort, and what started as an apartment project turned into pop-ups and eventually a brick-and-mortar shop on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. That is a considerably more compelling origin story than a corporate franchise business plan. The setup in Park Slope includes a quiet back courtyard, which offered a comfortable spot for our group to sit, eat, and recover between stops. It feels relaxed and distinctly Brooklyn without trying too hard to remind you where you are. The pizza itself is very good. The crust strikes a proper balance between a crisp bottom and a chewy interior. The toppings are handled with care, from the crushed tomatoes to the fresh mozzarella. This is dough crafted by people who take fermentation seriously rather than relying on pre-packaged shortcuts. On its own merits, the pizza is a solid 4.5 stars. Unfortunately for Brooklyn DOP, it was competing on a tour against places operating on another plane. It is an excellent pie, but it was not the single slice that caused the entire tour to fall silent in collective awe. Still, that is an aggressive standard to hold against any local shop. Brooklyn DOP offers a great courtyard, a serious approach to dough, and a standout product. Landing just shy of five stars says far more about the sheer volume of elite pizza we ate that day than it does about the shop itself. Four stars. And if you are not spending the afternoon riding around New York with Scott Wiener eating pizza at some of the finest pizza joints the 5 boroughs have to offer, you can probably bump that half-star back up.
