A neighborhood institution! Now, it wasn't my pizza place growing up that was where numero 28 now is (though that place pales in comparison). But it was the go to place for my park slope friends so came here a decent amount as a kid. When I moved to the area a few years ago it was nice seeing this place and Roma still around. Pino's has become my go to for slices, sometimes places just do a better slice than a pie and that's Pino's. We get a variety and you get a free drink with any two slices. It just has the slice shop vibes that I like but backs it up with decent prices and a great sauce. read more

I was working on Valentine's Day & needed to treat myself to some pasta so I ordered Shrimp Scampi from here. I was excited that the pasta was delivered in a pizza box. Everything was secured and no leaks were there! They even included cheese in addition to the utensils. The portion was great and it was a great ratio of pasta. The only downfall was that it was way too lemony for me. It was just very overwhelming, I even removed the lemons that came on top. There was garlic bread and it was seasoned well, but it was just a bit too hard to my liking (I like soft bread). I feel like it could've been that batch and I'm willing to try again! read more

Coming to Pino's on a late humid Sunday night for a slice and Lemon Italian Icee, seemed perfect after a Timmy Regisford rooftop party. So, with all the highs and lows here, I plan on bringing this crazy ride to an end in style. This Park Slope spot might not be the most obvious choice for good pizza or Italian Icee, but the latter, was striking all the right notes. If you judged this place by its facade, you would miss out on a truly amazing Lemon Italian Icee experience. And it doesn't even bring to mind: that particular franchise, mass-produced Icee like the one well-known place you see EVERYWHERE with a gazillion icee flavors. At. All. You're not getting Neapolitan pizza here- but their small, almost flat crust, thinner-than-usual slice for an ol' school joint, doesn't lag behind either. It has the right amount of a simple yet sauce without all those seasonings and a perfect amount of cheese without overloading the slice. And it didn't matter that I was following a low-carb diet- because after all was said and done, that shiit was good. Our shared slice and that wild Lemon Italian Icee were in the end were both cheap, fast and damn tasty. read more

Pino's La Forchetta - Main Squeeze: Lemon Icee & So Freaking Good - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I feel as though I'm been over changed whenever I go into this establishment. The other day I bought a slice and everybody before me paid $3 when I ordered my sliced I paid $3 to one guy then another guy asks me what did I order I told him a slice he side $3.25. Today I ordered the deal 2 slices and a free soda it was $7 but just 2 weeks ago I paid $6.76 on my card so what's going on why is the guy with the clear glasses over charging me every time? read more

Had dinner at Pinos La Forchetta Pizzeria on Monday night. This is a pizza spot to skip. Quality: I ordered three slices, and I did not find much to like about any of them. The Regular Slice was the best of the bunch, but it was a soggy greasy mess. The flavor of the cheese was off, and the end of the crust was tough to chew. The White Pizza was terrible. I'm not sure if it was because of how long it was sitting there, but the cheese seemed to just detach. The crust on this slice was even worse than the Cheese Slice, I couldn't even bite this one. The Sicilian Slice was also disappointing. It maintained the same off cheese flavor, and it failed to heat up consistently leaving the tomato sauce cold, yet the edges burnt. It was a mess. Quantity: Slightly larger than usual New York slices. Value: $3.50-$4.50 for a Slice. Lots of discounts and promotions. Ambiance: Pinos La Forchetta Pizzeria is located in Park Slope. It looks like your typical old-school pizza joint. Lots of ancient booths along both walls and the counter at the back. Two televisions, one in each corner, both showing baseball. Outside they had a street shelter with a few more tables as well as fans blowing inside to keep it cool. Crowd: Two kids waiting for a pie and two others grabbing slices. Service: Guys behind the counter seemed nice, but no attempts to wipe down used tables. Parking: Limited nearby street parking. read more

Pino's is good for lots of things. Good for late night eats, since they always seem to be open. Good for anytime you're hungry, because they have Good (LOADED) veggie pizza, Good (really good) fresh mozzarella slices, Good regular slices and Good (well, decent) specialty slices (BBQ chicken, buffalo, and other blasphemous things that I enjoy, so keep your mouth shut). And lastly, Pino's is good for delivery when your parents don't feel like cooking for the ungrateful little bastards they call their children, and still need something to shut us up. read more

I wish I could've given zero stars. I waited at least two hours to get one single pizza. I live down the block from the restaurant. The first order the pizza was delivered in a very torn and soggy box. I told them to make it over and send it. I had to wait another 1.5 hour. Upon delivery the box was in tact but when I opened the box the pizza looked like it met into an accident. It hardly had tough and kept crumbling. Not to mention the slice of cake I ordered. I don't know if the delivery guy ate it or whatever but this is how I received it read more

This is for delivery. Pino's was the first place I ever ate in Brooklyn. Way back in 1996, I was in the 'hood looking for an apartment and after seeing a bunch of places, I was starved so stopped by here for a slice. It was good but for some reason I never went back. Fast forward to 2013. I needed to carb load for the Brooklyn Half Marathon so was perusing Seamless and came across Pino's. Since I will soon be leaving Brooklyn, maybe it was a sense of nostalgia that made me click on Pino's. The bottom line is I'm glad I did. Mozzarella sticks were tasty and I liked the marinara sauce. Meatball sub was very tasty (should have ordered it with cheese, though). The baked ziti with sausage was delicious and so filling. I had it for three meals! I should have come back more than once in 17 years. I guess the old saying is true, you don't realize what you have until you don't have it any more. Soon I won't have Pino's...because there's really no way I'm taking the train in from Manhattan just to get a meatball sub. read more

Our family has been weekly customers of Pino's for 16 years. We live around the corner and average a $60 order every weekend. I was in here the other day to pick up an order. Two employees were not wearing masks. A third employee was wearing a mask, but improperly, with his nose hanging out. They have signs that they require a mask, but when three customers entered without masks, they didn't bat an eye. Then one of their delivery men walked into the store without wearing a mask None of the employees were wearing gloves. Such disregard for their customer's safety is appalling. If this is what I can see going on behind the counter, I shudder to think about what's going on out of sight in the back kitchen. They have lost our family's respect and business. read more

This place works in a pinch, and probably the only thing open past 11p in the nearby vicinity so I'm happy it's around but definitely not amazing. I once tried their penne alla vodka for some comfort Italian. It was edible and hit the spot but I'd hardly call it vodka sauce. read more

So when i walked inside i was amazed by the big menu on display. So many Italian choices. Pizza looked real good. I was hungry so i got baked zitti with ground beef. I dont really get this from many places or from a place im not familiar with. However deciding what place to go for lunch while in the area. This place seemed to stand out. The baked zitti was prepared in less than 15 minutes. It was worth the wait. It was a well portion size. They also gave garlic knots with it. I was very please with the food. The flavor the cheese the sauce everything was right about that baked zitti. I would def suggesg to come here if in the area. This place is great for the neighborhood. It seems like this plave gets busy and i see why.. do come here for a meal or a slice. I aint have a slice but if the baked zitti was good the slice must be too read more

Pino's La Forchetta - Baked zitti MmMMMMMMm so good fresh and cheesy - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Authentic thin crust and Sicilian slices, but I would steer clear of the the garlic knots which are spongy, greasy and under seasoned.

We had their classic pepperoni pizza and a cheese Sicilian pizza delivered. Pizza was great - especially good sauce. Bonus - they accidentally forgot our fries , and I told them it would be fine to refund it on Seamless and not worry about it. They made the effort to bring it anyway, which I thought was bonus stars in my opinion! Would recommend! read more

Got a vegan roasted pepper pizza. 30$ delivery tipped the delivery guy too. Uhh wtf. How do I explain this? The toppings on top of the crust were slippery? Everything slipped off like it was sloshed on by a mid evil tyrant dishing out Goulash. I tried heating it up in the oven to get it crispier but that didn't work. I feel cheated. Like eating mush on crust. Dude on the phone hung up on me before I could ask if I could pay with card but my friend told me to call back (this was like 20 minutes after I called) so I did and gave them my card number and they said the dude delivering was already on his way and only spoke Spanish. Which is whatever cuz I'm bilingual. When the guy got here he spoke English fluently. Weird af gross pizza. read more

Pino's La Forchetta - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

You want that authentic NYC style pie delivered with old school Brooklyn attitude, Pino's is it!

If I had never heard of Pino's, and you were to ask me what I thought a Forchetta was, I'd venture three guesses: 1) An Italian sports car 2) A Fellini mistress 3) The name of your favorite black stripper None of these would be correct. The answer? A fork. Not exactly the exciting translation I was hoping for. Then again, I did provide some pretty lofty alternatives. But I digress. With orange booths, red cafeteria trays, mirrored walls, neon tube lights the colors of the Italian flag, that propped-open front door during the summer months, Pino's La Forchetta is a neighborhood relic form the old Park Slope, your classic pizzeria that's stereotypical in all the right places. The Fresh Mozzarella Pie is down-right heavenly with its ruby red sauce, really nice blend of herbs and spices, light, airy taste, and cheese that did not lose its freshness once baked. If you do not possess the level of gluttony I happen to embrace so whole-heartedly, and you only have room for one slice, this is your must-try. However, it's necessary to note Pino's is no one-trick pony and their standard Cheese slice is a super-satisfying second option. With crisp crust, a great fold, and a wonderful blend of the low-moisture good stuff, this is one classic, cheese-tastic choice. Unfortunately, I do have one gripe. The couple of times I've ordered delivery from here, the pie did not arrive at my apartment as hot as it could've. Oh, don't worry - I still downed it all, no problem, and I really don't see this as any sort of deterrent, so neither should you. If you have the choice, however, I suggest paying Pino's a visit. There's an orange booth and red tray with your name on it. read more

What a TERRIBLE experience. Ordered on Seamless at 11:45 pm, a text at 12:15 am said delivery would arrive at 12:40 am. After several calls, finally received our meal at 1:45 am, a full two hours after we ordered. Totally not friendly on the phone or helpful. Ordered a pan pizza and garlic knots. Food was so horrible, I ate one slice and couldn't manage the crust. My friend picked the cheese off the top and couldn't even manage the pizza. The crust tasted stale and hard, like it had sat a while. It wasn't edible. The pizza had set (ever seen a pizza the next day?), and that was before we even got it. The toppings were definitely canned, including the mushrooms and pineapples. It was gross. I was so looking forward to a pan pizza and now I'm just disappointed. We called Seamless and when they contacted the restaurant, they offered to refund $5 from a $40 dollar meal. Clearly they can't stand behind what they produce. The food was gross and they were jerks. Moving on... read more

Pino's La Forchetta - Not edible. Ate a couple slices, picked the cheese off a few more, and then tossed it in the garbage. Dumpster food. - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place was much better than I expected it to be. First off, I really like the setup and look of the place. From the brick storefront, to the nicely separated, sizable seating area, to the friendly staff behind the counter of slice selection (vodka grandma slices, YES), this place has it good. But as is my mantra, this all means jack shit if the pizza isn't any good. Luckily for me, the pizza was better than good. I had a slice with fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce and spices. The crust here lacked flavor somewhat, but the texture, crispness and puffiness were there, with a nice amount of chew. The sauce was nice and flavorful, although they overspiced one section of the pie unfortunately. The fresh mozzarella was pretty good and suited the slice well. The slice as a whole was not something I'd travel to the far ends of Brooklyn for, but definitely something I'd make a small detour for as it was solid. read more

This pizzeria is absolutely DISGUSTING!!!!!! After placing my order for delivery, this is what was handed to me. As I opened the box, all the cheese was stuck on the top of the box like a snail on the bottom of someone's shoe. The dough was SOAKING WET like it just took a 5 lap swim, and the the individual slices were folded and warped like a nasty wet 10 year old sock. I almost fell over and barfed. (Literally ). I called and asked for a refund and the response was I can toss it away and pick up a pie at my availability free of charge. THEN I get a call back from the manager saying it can only be re delivered the same day and how. what I was told wasn't the policy. So I said fine , please re-deliver the pizza. THEN the deliver guy comes back with another pie and demands back the pizza I threw away AFTER I TOLD THE STAFF AND MANAGER ITS IN THE GARBAGE. He then calls the manager and the manager prompts him to leave with the pizza. The DISGUST seeped through my pores as I closed the door and walked away. THIS IS A HORRIBLE REPRESENTATION OF NEW PIZZA. STAY AWAY , BE AWARE.....SAVE YOURSELVES FROM THIS MISERY. RUN RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! read more

Pino's La Forchetta - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We are not hard to please. All my boyfriend and I ask for is for food to be fresh, and mildly tasty. We aren't food snobs; we eat Atomic Wings at least once a week! After having moved from North Slope to South Slope, we needed to find an Italian place to call upon for when we feel like carbo-loading on pasta and mozzarella sticks. I saw the good review on yelp and thought that if their pizza is good, and it has been around for 50 years, why not give their pasta a go? Readers, I am telling you right now, DON'T DO IT. We ordered mozzarella sticks, spaghetti with calamari, and ziti with garlic, broccoli, and oil with chicken. It arrived (20 minutes after the promised arrival time) and the box was hot. Like...burn my fingers off hot. Upon opening said boiling box of doom, I realized that the mozzarella sticks were mushy and boiling hot, but not in the melty delicious mozzarella sticks way. They were absolutely microwaved. I'd bet my Atomic Wing points on it. Both pastas were mushy, tasteless, and outright nasty. The pasta was clearly microwaved, as was the sad, pathetic excuse for chicken cutlet in my pasta. The broccoli was clearly frozen and nuked in the microwave. I am one that typically disregards bad yelp reviews because I'd like to believe that people who slam places on yelp are just being difficult...but I want to do you all a service and tell you all our experience. If the pizza is good, then I'd say stick to the pizza. I will never try their pizza, as I will never eat anything coming out of that kitchen ever again. read more

Mmmm mom and I stumbled in after stumbled in Dashing Diva next door for mani. and pedi. I was starving! Ordered one pepperoni salami and mozzarella calzone and buffalo chicken mozzarella calzone.

It gets a 10 out of 10 hands down for the pizza especially their sicilian which yes blows Spumoni out of water (no offense). All the food I have had is great. It gets a 4 star review because I have had consistent delivery issues so be prepared to wait or possibly other issues like wrong food or wrong address. Disclaimer: Pizza is so amazing I put up with delivery issues and will still only go here considering it is more expensive than all places around corner from me. read more

I have lived in Brooklyn for 2 years now and this restaurant has been my go-to delivery over one year when I want to treat myself. My first order was the Pasta alla Vodka which was a 5 star rating in my book. I tried the baked ziti which again was very tasty. Then in May of this year I tried this pizza for the first time. I rarely do delivery, but when I do, it's always because I'm craving this pizza or one of their pastas. The delivery has never been late. In fact, 90% of the time it's 15 minutes early. Pizza has never been delivered cold. Additionally, I have tried the rainbow cookies for the first time recently which were pretty good! It's 8:50pm right now and I came home late for work, so I just submitted my order through seamless and am excitedly waiting for my pizza to come now. read more

Pino's La Forchetta - The Sicilian Cheese Pizza with added pepperoni - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Found them on Slice while considering an order for dinner. Used their own website for a 10% discount, which was helpful, since I'd have been really, really annoyed to pay full price for what we received. Our order was a large whole-wheat with tomato, onions, and I added mushrooms. We really liked that we could get a whole-wheat crust, and they baked it well: crispy around the edges, soft in the center. That's about the only thing we liked. Apparently I needed to scroll much further down the list to add "fresh mushrooms," for which they charge more. Canned mushrooms are gross. Don't order them. I also take issue with the "fresh" garlic. I guess it might have been, but it didn't add much to the overall effect. Tomatoes were passable, but big white onions were not what we were hoping for (but that's on me, bc I didn't ask or investigate more--we prefer red onions with garlic & tomato). Finally, there was just too much mozzarella, which made the center of the pie really soggy and caused toppings to mush all over the place in transit. I've lived in Brooklyn for more than 20 years now, and we've got multiple favorite pizza places in the area (different places for different pies), but Pino's is not likely to make this list. read more

Delicious pizza. Had late nice slices thin and Sicilian. Would recommend straight up thin but both were good. Good friendly service as well. My ratings are absolute here. I'm not from NYC and most pizza places I've been trying are all 5 stars. I don't think fair to rate the best in the world relative to each other and bring down their ratings. If any of the places I've tried were near my home, they would be a top choice. Keep that in mind if you are taking for granted your wonderful pie options. read more

I'm a fatty who's tried a lot of pizza around NY. This place makes the classic NY slice. I've been searching for this slice for years since Famous Ray's of Greenwich Village closed down. The pizza has thicker bread than most slices and a fair amount of cheese and just an all around incredible taste. read more

Ooooh, their pizza is soooo good! It has that wonderful taste of olive oil in my mouth. The spices are about right and the crust is close to perfect in taste and depth. This is another example of the traditional Brooklyn pizza which has quality ingredients in it. So far from a Pizza Hut or Domino's. This is REAL Brooklyn pizza, just as it was fifty years ago. Had some other things on their menu over the years. Good Italian food, but I come here for the pizza. Please keep the quality of your pizza intact,. even if Papa John's opens down the block and sells pizza pies for $9.99 each. Yours are too good to lose, I want to see you around with your good quality and tasty pizza. ______________________________________________________________________ Tonight, got some stromboli for my wife. She says that it was four stars. It was fresh. Full of meat. Cheese was dripping out of it. It taste wonderful. This is a good place to introduce someone to new Italian dishes who is not familiar with the less common ones. read more

After watching Adam Richman on the travel channel, I went to Pino La Forchetta. The plain slice (from which all others are derived) did me justice.

The pizza here is terrible. It has been since the 90's. Similar to Roma Pizza on 7th avenue (about 5 blocks down towards Flatbush), this place exists because of it's prime location. Being across the street from P.S. 321, naturally every school kid and parent will come in here due to the proximity. Antonio's Pizza on 7th avenue and Flatbush has WAYYY better Pizza than this place. It is shocking that a pizza place that makes a terrible plain slice can do so well that it survives 30 years. This review will not hurt their massive business as the location smack dab in the center of the prime of Park Slope will ensure that billions of schoolkids and parents and everyone else will wander in every 10 seconds for the next 100 years. read more
