    A beautiful Grandma Slice
    Lauren C.

    If you haven't been to Lenny and John's Pizza, you're seriously missing out. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted like family -- friendly smiles, the smell of fresh dough baking, and that perfect New York-style buzz that makes you instantly feel at home. The pizza? Unreal. The crust strikes that impossible balance -- crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside -- and the sauce tastes like it's been perfected over generations. You can tell everything is made with real care and high-quality ingredients. The cheese pulls are the stuff of legend, and every slice has just the right amount of char. Their specialty pies are where they really shine -- the Buffalo Chicken is addictive, and the Grandma Slice might actually be one of the best in the city. Don't sleep on the garlic knots either -- they're buttery, fluffy perfection. Service is fast, friendly, and genuine -- Lenny and John clearly take pride in what they do, and it shows in every bite. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice on your lunch break or bringing the family in for dinner, you'll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit and Nicole has the customer service bringing in our food fast hot and good looking.

    I've been coming to Lenny and John's since my parents brought their home in the late 80s. And let me tell you the food is still delicious The pizza is still great! I took my mom here after we visited my dad in the hospital. This was our date day:) I ordered shrimp fra diavola with fresh mozzarella cheese ( what I like) my mom had the fried chicken cutlet with the broccoli, garlic and olive oil. Both were EXCELLENT! My server-GINA -was Awesome!

    Angry pizzerias produce great slices. Outside in Marine Park, there is not too much to look at. Inside, it very much effuses an energy that only a pizzeria near Flatbush can question. It is without the shadow of a doubt that makes this pizza stand out and taste great, why in an area where businesses are shuttering all around, that this one still remains a pillar in the community. I am not going to bore you in this review and analyze each slice. If I wanted to do that, I would enclose a sleeping pill with this review; no need for that. The slices are crispy, chewy, with the perfect amount of cheese and sauce, a beautiful red sauce at that. They are not as aggressively salty as other slices I have had, which is okay. They are a bit pale at first, which may explain why it is not an amazing slice, and they also flop a little, so points are deducted as well, but it is a solid slice once it cools a little. The toppings applied at this pizzeria are applied liberally and there is a bite of them in almost every bite, until the crust is reached. They are also clean to eat, despite my messy eating. Oh, and be mindful of their Grapeade. It literally tastes like cough medicine. I will pass on this next time. However, I have bookmarked this pizzeria so I can return again at a later date. You should come sooner than that. The angrier, the better.

    Ordered take out from here the other and just further reinforces my love from this pizzeria. The pizza, pasta, and the garlic knots are good. The pizza is always fresh. I'm writing this thinking about it. The one con I would say is that the pasta is pricey, however I haven't had a bad dish from them. The other comment I would say is that their large marinara sauce was delivered in a food container and it spilled a bit in my pizza box.

    I'll keep this short and sweet, like many of the people you'll find in this area of Brooklyn. This place has quality food and great service. There aren't any special bells and whistles, the staff is patient and the menu has something for everyone if you want a hearty meal. The baked ziti with meatballs has been my fave from this spot as a child and remains *chefs kiss*

    My love affair w/ Lenny and Johns Pizzeria started many years ago when I first began attending St. Thomas Aquinas Church + enrolled my daughter into a dance studio that used to be in the same area. It was cool to find a place that serves Italian Food which everyone knows is my favorite to eat. Just thinking about piping hot delicious pizza, pasta, salads w/ olives, fresh italian bread, etc. is making my mouth water.-lol. Ok...I will focus long enough to finish this review but all in all Lenny and Johns provides all of these fantastic goodies and so much more. Lenny and Johns is across the parking lot area from my church and I go there faithfully. Like clockwork, my Sundays for years have been filled w/ going to St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic Church for Mass and then straight to Lenny and Johns Pizzeria for lunch or dinner (depending on which Mass Service I attend). As soon as I arrive at this nicely-sized eatery, I speak to either Danielle or one of the other lovely servers as well as the hardworking gentlemen that run the counter + create the "meal masterpieces". Sometimes I take food to-go (especially if I get a craving and would get some on my way home from work) but lots of times I stay since there are dining tables. The establishment's menu has a good selection of appetizers and entrees. Individuals can order regular beverages (soda, vitamin water, snapple, bottled water, etc.) as well as things like wine (dine-in only). Lenny and John's makes the best Spaghetti + Meatballs and Pepperoni + Regular Cheese Pizza...Boy, do I wish that I had some right now-lol. The perfect cheese + crispy pizza crust (sorry no picture here as I eat the pizza like there is no tomorrow-lol) the most well-seasoned sauce + meatballs...I cannot say enough about their food. Oh, I should have also mentioned that they have dessert specials during the holidays (ex. Halloween, etc) and Valentine's Day promotions like a free glass of wine or dessert to share when you spend $20 (dine-in only). Ordering Lenny and Johns via UberEats has blissfully allowed me to continue to enjoy the favorites listed above as well as to get other items. Brolied Salmon w/ linguine pasta has become a new favorite. The herbs and spices on the Salmon, their flavorful Sauteed Spinach and Mixed Vegetables, etc. My daughter really likes their Fettucine Alfredo because it is so nice and creamy. Everytime I am done w/ my meal I have a full belly and a smile on my face. Thanks Lenny and Johns for being an ongoing staple in the Marine Park Community and I look forward to eating some delectable delightful delicacies in the not-so-distant future.

    This pizza is just not good. I've tried multiple times to give the benefit of doubt, but this is not it. Better options in neighborhood. Cheese is bland. Sauce is nonexistent and flavorless. Dough is bland. Sicilian don't even think about it.

    Came home from Houston & was looking for a good slice. Pizza was fantastic! Service was quick & good amount of seating. Going back for sure.

    Lures you in with this, only to make you wait until 3p to put in an order. How about having an informative sign!!!

The correct location is 1140 Utica Ave, Brooklyn, NY, the day we went it was at a designated pickup locker where your food is stored. This confusion added an extra 30 minutes to my trip. Wait Time & Ordering Experience The kiosk estimated a wait time of 6-16 minutes, but we ended up waiting around 40 minutes for our order. That was upsetting. What We Ordered Mains: Fried Chicken, Honey Glazed Salmon, Catfish Sides: Blueberry Cornbread, Candied Coconut Yams, Mac & Cheese Food Quality Catfish: Easily the standout of the meal. Perfectly cooked, an easy 10/10. Fried Chicken: A major letdown. It was dry and under-seasoned, tasting mostly of salt. Honey Glazed Salmon: Unfortunately, there was no noticeable glaze and the fish was also dry. Sides Candied Coconut Yams & Mac and Cheese: Both were delicious and classic comfort food done right. Blueberry Cornbread: Tasted more like a blueberry muffin. While not bad on its own, it didn't complement the savory items well. Value & Final Thoughts Combo platters (1 main + 2 sides) run about $20-$24. For that price and the long wait time (40-45 minutes), I expected a bit more consistency. The catfish and sides were worth the trip, but the other mains left much to be desired. Pros: Halal soul food is a great concept and rare to find. Cons: The chicken and salmon. Would I return? Possibly for the catfish. But considering catfish is halal almost anywhere, and the other mains didn't deliver. Wonderful concept!
