We purchased 2 soda alongside with other foods. The restaurant is still selling expired soda from 2023. Isn't a big deal, I call the restaurant hoping to get their attention for removal from shelves and resolution. The staff was very rude and not taking any responsibility for selling expired products to customer. I want to gave 1 star for the awful experience but 2 star for having a fair price and restaurant looks clean. read more

On Oct.29th my boyfriend and I decided to eat for the first time at Papa Mike's Brick oven Pizza. Located at 7416 20th Ave. My boyfriend had left over food and asked the counter girl for a bag he was totally ignored, so I had asked her I also was totally ignored. When I asked her again she takes a phone order again totally ignored The counter girl walks around the counter is looking straight at me and says what card would you like to put it on ??? I said to her he already paid the bill, in a really nasty tone she said I wasn't talking to you. We would never go back to this place ever again the counter person is a nasty person. read more

Wanted to try this place, so I ordered for delivery, and they never delivered it. Called to ask about my order & got the run around saying it was allegedly delivered. From reading some of the recent reviews, maybe it was a blessing in disguise. read more

Was craving pizza and decided to lunch here. Place was a bit dark and emptied. Ordered at the counter and decided to dine-in. My slice of Mushroom pizza was really good (could be a little hotter though), and I thoroughly enjoyed my slice. The dough was a bit thicker than I'm used to from other pizzerias and the slice had less sauce. The regular slice pizza also tasted okay- with just the right amount of cheese- could be a little hotter though. Overall, liked the pizza will come back soon. read more

I appreciate all the pizzerias surviving through the pandemic. I love pizzas. My whole family loves pizza. We used to live by Lenny's... and they make killer pizzas... I love them. So, I can't help but compare my new hood's offering. Papa Mikes isn't exactly close by but they delivered to us and I appreciate that. The distance definitely played a role.. because wasn't as hot. We got a half pepperoni and half cheese. It was OK. My kids didn't love it either... they felt the crust was a bit... chewy... and too greasy, so - not great. We might try again... maybe we'll just pick it up ourselves. Who knows.. might make a difference. Eat a pizza! #yelplife read more

The square pie is fantastic here. You cant go wrong with brick oven pizza. So glad I found this place.

I live in the area, saw the great reviews on yelp, saw that they had brick oven pizza and I was very excited to give them a shot. Decided to order for delivery and was disappointed. Toppings were missing, and the pizza sauce was kinda sweet - which isn't bad but not what I am used to. The pizza tasted good - however there was an ABSURD amount of RAW powdered flour underneath the entire pie... I've never experienced something like this in all my years of eating pizza... Maybe they were having an off night... I'd like to think this was what happened....It was a Monday. But idk if I will order again. read more

My family has visited this pizzeria for decades. We live down the block and came here whenever my brother or I wanted some pizza, spaghetti, rice ball, garlic knots, or anything else. We've been a customer since their old location next door, but they renovated this new location and reopened here. I used to LOVE their garlic knots because of how flavorful and cheap they were. However, I was really disappointed this time. The garlic knots were dry and flavorless. There was a minimal amount of garlic on each garlic knot and tasted like bread knots instead. The only saving factor was the tomato sauce on the side. I don't remember the garlic knots here to be like this. They used to be covered in delicious garlicky oil and parsley. And you would actually be able to see garlic pieces! As a longtime customer, I really want to see Papa Mike's improve and do well. Hopefully, this is just a one-time mishap and not a recurring thing. read more

Papa Mikes Brick Oven Pizza - Large pie half pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've lived by Papa Mike's my whole life but never tried their pizza until tonight! I had the grandma pie, pepperoni pizza, and fried ravioli (not pictured). The fried ravioli was everything I could ask for: crispy, flavorful, and cheesy. Wow! I'm impressed. Another thing that really stood out to me was how great their red sauce is! It gets all the notes of sour and tart perfectly. I'll definitely visit again & would recommend it! read more

I made a rare trip into Bensonhurst recently and I discovered Papa Mike's. They have been in business for fifty years, and you won't last that long unless you are doing something right. I ordered two Grandma slices and a soda and enjoyed a delicious lunch. Papa Mike's has a pay on the way out policy which is extremely rare these days. Is there is better Pizza in Brooklyn? Yes, but not close by. read more

Best Grandma slices!! I always order one from Papa Mike's whenever I crave for pizza. The fresh basil mixed with the cheesy mozzarella and sweetness of the tomatoes are heavenly! I tried their regular pie with mushroom (not a fan, didn't have great taste) and sausage. It was alright, not too salty but not as much flavor as I would have hoped for. I would like to try their deep dish pizza next time. read more

One of our favorite pizza spots in Brooklyn. You can never go wrong with a grandma or their white slice. We always stop by to get a slice whenever we are in the area. They also have a side part of the restaurant that can host small parties - decent intimate space. read more

I've grown up eating Papa Mikes for as long as I can remember. The wait can take a little long if you're ordering a good amount of food. But they've been always on point. My family loves it and we devour it every time. Our family fave has always been pepperoni pie! Can't ever go wrong with that! read more

Been buying pizza from papa Mike's for many years, recently, thr quality and taste has gone downhill and I don't see the same guy making the pizza anymore. It is someone new. Will not return. read more

Very bad service. The place is run by mike himself who is a very unkind and mean man. He can be seen berating old women who ask for cups of water to take their pill while theyre paying customers. Each time I have tried delivery the food comes drastically wrong or half missing. They attempted to scam once by not delivering, claiming they were closed but didnt shut the site and then saying they refunded but didnt. The bank investigated and decided they were fraud and said it happens a lot. My wife said they were good and my father in law says he picks up often so we tried but its a lost cause. Perhaps if the family takes over itll be better but the old guy mike is a nasty person. You'd think if your close to the end youd be nicer but not this guy smh . read more

The grandma slice was pretty good but the other pizza was not up to par. The regular pizza was a little doughy and not as much flavor. The grandma slice had a nice crunch to it and hit the spot. Come here for that. read more

They used to be making great pizza there. But there are new people working there now, and the food is disgusting.

The best Buffalo Chicken pizza around town, and if not the best I've had. I've had plenty of great buffalo pizzas, but this one is just the right amount of everything and the quality of their chicken is great. I'm also not a fan of Blue cheese/ranch with my pizza. read more

This is probably my fav place now! I ordered Chicago pan pizza, mozzarella sticks and onion rings. Delivery was really fast(within 25min of order) and food tasted amazing! Highly recommend this place! read more

I've had better, I'm not going to lie and sugar coat this review. Papa Mikes isn't terrible by any stretch, it's just not up to par with some of the great spots in the area. I used to go here a lot years ago, and I recently went back for dine-in while waiting for my dogs to be groomed up the block. It looks great inside! It's spacious with plenty of tables and a nice brick walls. The brick oven is an attractive centerpiece when you walk in. The family is still busting their hump in the back and the workers are friendly and fast. It's hard to talk negative about a place that has so many positives, but then you get to the pizza. I'll focus on three different slices I've had recently: Their Sicilian is OK, a bit too greasy for my liking but at least the cheese was not rubbery and the dough was cooked well. It was just ok. Their fresh mozzarella was pretty bad, the cheese did not mesh well with the watery tomato sauce underneath and it was just overall not good. Their buffalo chicken slice on the other hand is very good, consistent all around with not too much grease and flavors that were pleasing! You are not travelling to go to Papa Mikes, if it's the closest place for you then there's nothing wrong with going but it's probably not a number one option for anyone. read more

First time trying this place. Ordered a pie of pepperoni pizza, linguine with white clam sauce, and cheesy bread. The pizza was good, linguini was over cooked but plentiful. The cheesy bread was not what I expected: slices of kraft cheese on bread is absolutely disgusting. Do not order the sliced cheese on bread read more

Awesome pizza, I've ate at many different pizza places near my house and this one is my favorite! The service is great and friendly. Even the delivery guy is very friendly! I highly recommend this place read more

I have never been to a more beautiful local pizzeria in Brooklyn. This place has exposed brick and sandstone walls, flat screen TVs, a beautifully illuminated kitchen and storefront, and a venue for events next door that looks like it could be a Manhattan bar/club. Papa Mike is a mature gentleman who still works the late hours serving his food with a smile. The pizza tastes great. Not quite my new #1 pizza place, but certainly ranking. The garlic knots were not my favorite because they're not as fluffy as I like, but they taste great. I really enjoyed the sweetness of the sauce that he uses in his pizza and gave us a cup of for dipping the garlic knots. That sweetness denotes a connoisseur, a person who cares about his ingredients and doesn't let ingredient prices determine his recipe. Many pizzerias serve acidic or bitter sauce which is probably much cheaper because of the canning process utilized. The sauce differentiates this pizza. I'm a huge fan of it. I certainly recommend giving Papa Mike's a try for yourself. read more

Papa Mike's is one of the best brick oven pizza I've tasted the margarita pizza is outstanding they also have a lot of other good stuff the chicken rolls the footlong Heroes I had a veal cutlet parm hero was out-of-this-world the prices are great the people that work there friendly and believe me you will not be disappointed you be coming back for more and more read more

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone! Horrible, horrible food. The only reason they are getting one star is because the delivery happened in the estimated delivery window. I bought a $1.25 can of sprite, got a Ginger Ale. I was supposed to get two sodas, and only got one. I'm just amazed that not only did they forget the quantity of sodas, but forgot the type I asked for. It gets worse. The "cheese breadsticks" are just cheap and awful smelling American Cheese slices molten onto bread. The "garlic knots" are small twists of dough with very artificial (and god knows what it really was) garlic sprinkled on top. I had also ordered a cheeseburger with fries and soda. If you absolutely MUST order from this restaurant, please avoid the cheeseburger deluxe entirely. They didn't include a soda, the fries are stale and cold, and the burger has no cheese, is super dry and chewy for some reason, and cold.The mozzarella sticks smelled like week old oil, were super fried to the point where it was like biting into a thin wooden stick. Finally, the mozzarella sticks. I ended up throwing away the entire meal for the fear of getting sick from eating it all. I just couldn't understand why the food smelled so terrible, it was like something out of kitchen nightmares!! I wish I could get my money back, but will know to avoid this restaurant in the future. update: two hours after having eaten some of the food, I'm suffering from diarrhea. ZERO STARS!!! :( read more

Best pizza around Bensonhurst and i love that the owner still runs this place! He is so sweet.

Update-Pizza just keeps getting better and better If you live close and want some really good pizza I definitely recommend this spot. The pizza is delicious and so worth every penny. My favorite item on the menu is the square pie with pepperoni , the pizza is exactly what your taste buds would be craving for in a nyc style pizza place . If you live father away I'd still recommend the trip , the pizza won't disappoint . read more

Papa Mike's never fails to satisfy any sudden pizza cravings I get. They've been around for a while in the neighborhood, and I think I know why they're such a success: besides serving tasty pizza, they're very friendly and generous. Frequent customers greet them like close friends, and when I ordered a bunch of garlic knots for a party, they threw in extras and some sauce for dipping. How could you not love that? :) The place also looks much better than most old pizza places that has been around. Tables and chairs are big and comfortable. The television is always on. Even though I live close by, I wouldn't mind staying to eat at the restaurant. read more

Mikes is great! Love seeing him still working & doing his thing making pizzas.. the crew is the same have been there for many years! I returned after a while to enjoy some good food! Their chicken Cesar salad was great also! Loved their home made dressing! Hope to see you all soon! read more

Papa Mikes Brick Oven Pizza - Chicken Cesar Salad - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

One of my close friends told me to order from here because the salads were amazing and decently priced. ordered from there once and it was really good! i didn't realize the salad had olives (like A LOT) which i extremely dislike, so that was my fault but i picked them off.. ordered it for the second time and....im so upset, i had a long day at work was starving and my salad sucks, i live pretty close.. like a 5-10 min walk, i have 2 kids that are sleeping so i ordered it to be delivered and it took 45min-1hr, anyway... I ORDER only 2 ITEMS - a salad with grilled chicken and a chicken parm hero. the chicken parm hero, looked amazing my fiance said it was good...my salad on the other hand....was a joke....the chicken is SO COLD, like straight out of the fridge and cut up and thrown on my salad and omg so many olives (which i asked to be left out, and no onion which i asked to be added) I also asked for italian dressing and got balsamic....safe to say i didnt eat it even after picking nasty olives off, hopefully my fiance eats it tomorrow so my money doesnt go to waste. read more

I hate to upset or disagree with my fellow yelpers. Maybe we were at the pizza place at a wrong time. Went there y'day on our way home. We ordered two regular slices as we were excited to discover a brick oven pizza place not very far from us. Papa Mike was there behind the counter and I found him to be sweet and friendly. The place is absolutely spic and span. However, digging our first bites in the slice left a lot to be desired. The slices were stale, flavorless and without any salt or seasoning. We are regulars at La Bella and Lenny's in the neighborhood. Its just sad that we didn't have a 5 star experience at Papa Mike's. Maybe we might go back to give it another try again soon. read more

I frequently order pizza from this place and it is good local pizza. It is a family owned pizzeria and the grandpa there is friendly. I would recommend the Marinara, Margherita, or Pizza ala Vodka to try. Would give it a 5-star, but one time when I ordered the Chicken marsala, the chicken was a little dry. They are prompt with delivery or pickup. read more

I love their food. Especially their buffalo chicken pizza slice! Its always a great experience w them

I've been a pizza fan my whole life and this is the best pizza I've ever had! I don't think I've tried anything and said "this isn't good". If you can make your way over to 20th avenue for a slice of pizza I recommend that you do! read more

I have been a regular at Mike's since early childhood. When I first started going there they had just about three items: A Square, A Round, and Ices! As I have come of age, so has (Papa) Mike's Pizza. They now have a nice variety of pasta dishes, sandwiches, burgers, riceballs, etc. What I really like about mike's are the variety of new pizzas they carry. The new ideas are great, while keeping the originals still to a high standard. The new renovations are really nice, with the new brick oven and the staff is always nice. I am just glad to see this place is still around and hope it remains a Bensonhurst Staple for years to come. read more

I'm a big fan of Papa Mike's. The pizza's very good here. They're nice guys. Quite a few times, they've thrown in free extras with my orders just because they had an extra slice with a fresh pie coming out, which is always cool. And they don't freak out when my son runs around a little bit in there. The Philly Cheesesteak Pizza is a bad m----r-f-----r too. Try it out. read more
