I've been here before and I thought the pizza was fresh and tasted great. It tends to be a bit…read morecrispy or toasty so I'd you don't like that kind of thing then this won't be for you. Our party was of 5 and each pie had 6 to 8 slices. Everything was cooked fresh. The cannolis the first trip were very fresh but they load up the cannoli with powdered sugar and chocolate syrup so it was disappointing to learn you can't ask for them to be fresh made without all the 'extra'. The first trip came to just under $100 though for the small pies and a cannoli. No drinks. Fast fwd to today, I was craving some pizza and my youngest wanted to get ice cream and I recalled they had a small gelato selection. I also figured I'd grab a couple of cannoli but I didn't recall them being $5.50 a piece!... it's been a hot min though but that was fine. Today, however, the cannoli shell was SO soft so I'm glad I decided to take a bite while waiting on the FUNGI pizza (which was phenomenal btw- delicious!!)... the cannoli tasted and was clearly old and as crazy as it sounds a little windexy. So I asked for replacement thinking for $12+ dessert I'm not sticking with a soggy dessert - the young man working was kind enough to offer to make new fresh ones for me including eliminating all the sugar powder and syrup. I thought that was nice. I do like the fungi pizza a lot and it's very tasty. Including the plain from first visit and the white pie. I think my issue with the restaurant is the pricing is incredibly high for pizza that doesn't always scream' best in the area' and it's not an 'Italian' business. They are from Turkey but they do a great job with the look and feel of Italy. But we're authentic Italians know what "buffalo mozz is" and what is in cannoli cream so while it's good tasting.. it's not exactly what we'd expect.

They also have a location near UNC Wilmington, but visited this strip mall location on Market Street since it was closer to us and reviews seemed comparable. There are several tables inside for dining in, but it's mainly a take out/delivery type of place as the set up is very utilitarian and functional without much atmosphere. That being said, the service at the counter when ordering and also when receiving food at the table was kind and friendly. We went with an order of garlic cheese bread and a large 18 inch cheese pizza. I have no basis of comparison with regards to quality or price compared to other places in the Wilmington area, but $24 for a simple pizza without toppings seemed a bit expensive. Both items were decent, but wouldn't compete with the quality of pizza ingredients I'm used to in the NJ/NY/PA area. The pizza was cooked well with a great undercarriage, albeit a bit oily, but the cheese, sauce, and crust didn't compare to the great pizza I'm spoiled with back home. That said, nothing was particularly bad, so grading on a regional curve, I'd rate Brooklyn Pizza Company a 3.5/5, which I'm happy to round up since all the employees were friendly, and it was a decent dinner overall.

NEVER AGAIN! The food has never been great, but I kept going back because of meeting friends. Since I started attending CFCC up the road, I started going by myself; what a mistake. The last time I went, the waitress not only rudely asked if I was dining alone, but ignored me the remainder of the time after serving me my meal. At the end, she threw my bill on the table as she was walking by to serve the other full tables, without a word. Today was even worse. I sat outside for over 15 minutes, and watched the waitress on the inside go past the door several times. Twice she even looked at me, but not once did anyone come outside to even offer to get me a glass of water. This place needs another dining establishment in the area to give them a run for their money and to remind them that regardless how good the food may be, poor customer service will leave you without customers. I will make the drive to another establishment or even eat BK, or McD's before eating here again. THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! read more

June 18, 2025: My experience at Uncle Louie's in Wilmington, North Carolina was fucking terrible. The pizza tasted like absolute shit--bland, disappointing, and nowhere near worth it. I expected a decent pizza, but instead I got something that I had no desire to finish. And the service fucking sucked too. The whole experience was frustrating and left me seriously pissed off. When the food is bad AND the service sucks, there really isn't much reason to come back. Needless to say, I absolutely will not be returning to this location and most certainly will be taking my business somewhere else. 1 star. If I could make it zero stars, I fucking would. read more

Three of us ordered the lunch special, which you would think would be easily and readily available and served. We did not receive our food for 35 to 40 minutes. There were only two tables with people at them. One of my friends ordered coffee ($3) and asked for a warm-up/refill twice and we were charged for 3 cups of coffee!!! Basically $9 for a cup of coffee! She was freezing in the restaurant and needed coffee to keep warm because it took so incredibly long to get our food. I was charged for a Pepsi, even though I don't drink soda, because it was part of the lunchtime special. In addition, I was charged full price for my glass of Pinot Grigio rather than them taking $3 off. (the Pepsi would've been $3 and since I didn't get it, they should've applied that to my glass of wine, but they did not.) For the two of us who ordered wine with our lunch, we didn't get it for 35 minutes after we ordered it. Two simple glasses of wine! And by that time, there was no one else dining in the restaurant. CD The only positive I can say about our experience is that the pizza was very tasty and my friends meatball sub was good. I will not go back there again.

It was dead - no other visitors on a weekend afternoon, we were the only table sat for lunch. Service left a lot to be desired, they seemed to have some internal communication issues because the waitress kept saying she thought they were out of things and had to check with the kitchen, but then they did actually have ingredients in stock. She also walked away when I was in the middle of asking her a question. I think the business would benefit from further training for the service staff including suggestive selling, how to accurately quote portion sizes, and how to create a "wow" experience for customers. I do appreciate that they offer a gluten free crust (14" cauliflower), but apart from that there wasn't much "great" about it. Pizza tasted pretty average, they were sparing with toppings and sauce (except for the Ms. Figgy - that was overpowering). I'm concerned for how the business is staying open with such a large place on the waterfront, but not many patrons even on weekends.
