    Shrimp Scampi
    Simone E.

    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!

    Eggplant slice

    The slices are strong and sturdy. They use quality ingredients a great menu and to notch service you can't go wrong here and it what's keeps me coming back. We had a huge order and they brought it out to our table and definitely should give it a try at Park Slope.

    Main Squeeze: Lemon Icee & So Freaking Good
    Mercedes C.

    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.

    Sicilian Slice
    Ryan F.

    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.

    Pizza was freshly made. When I asked for additional toppings he gave me a paper and told me to do it myself. How rude. Didn't really appreciate the customer service could of been better.

    Good eats! The bbq chicken pizza was amazing! I'd def go back for another slice. I liked that there was plenty of seats so you could truly enjoy the meal.

    Meatball sub and mozz sticks
    Bill T.

    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.

    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

    I started ordering from Pino's after i saw a pizza my bosses had delivered to our bar and ive been ordering at least once a week both to work and my apartment ever since. Its always delicious, exactly what i ask for, and right on time every time. Couldnt recommend this place enough!

    Baked zitti MmMMMMMMm so good fresh and cheesy
    Kevin C.

    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

    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.

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 been eating L&B Spumoni Gardens for as long as I can remember, and it remains exactly what it's supposed to be: loud, crowded, unpretentious, completely its own thing, and ridiculously good.

Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We ordered a glass of wine, a beer, an arugula salad, and our main food order. Everything started out fine, and the salad came without a problem. But then we waited. And waited. About 30 minutes after we had ordered, I asked our waiter where our food was. He apologized and admitted that he had forgotten to put the order in. By that point, we had already watched other tables receive their food, including people who had arrived well after us. We continued waiting, and after roughly 40 minutes or more, our food still had not arrived. At that point, the dining experience was already ruined and we decided to leave. Ironically, just as we were getting ready to go, the food finally started coming out. I told them we no longer wanted it. The waiter did apologize again and offered us a pizza to take with us, which I assume was complimentary, but by then we were simply ready to leave. Even paying the bill became unnecessarily drawn out. We were charged the full amount for the salad, beer, and wine. I sat with a $50 bill ready to pay, was handed the check, and then ended up standing around for another five minutes waiting for someone to actually take the money. There was no apology from the person handling the payment. I understand that mistakes happen, and I appreciated that our waiter admitted he had forgotten to place the order. But when a restaurant makes that kind of mistake, the recovery matters. After waiting that long, watching later-arriving customers get served, and then having difficulty simply paying and leaving, an apology and a pizza at the very end didn't really fix the experience. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I can't say the service lived up to the restaurant's reputation.

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.
