Vesuvius Pizza - Half eaten large Margherita pie, can clearly see how sparse & small all its condiments are! - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I was here a few days ago. The pizza is good, just a little oily. The staff is friendly and the ambiance is chill like a regular pizza spot. The space is kinda small, but I always get a seat to enjoy my pizza read more

Vesuvius Pizza - White Pizza Slice & Regular Cheese Pizza Slice - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Hosted my son and his 12 teammates (and their parents) this past Saturday for a soccer birthday party. In the rush of Communion season they accommodated us with the front bench tables ... kids had the time of their lives eating pizza! Delicious as always and the five pies came out hot and fresh. All class as always from Vesuvio's! Highly recommend for all your parties or even just a slice! read more

Best way to describe this location, small but large. A modern inside that you would expect just ok pizza. That's not case, the pizza keeps you wanting more and more. I ordered 3 large pies to go for a staff meeting. Arrived. Pizza was ready to go with the inside you can barely fit 10 people in. That's fine with me when the service and taste of the pizza that good. I shall return! read more

Pizza felt overpriced for what it was. Crust uses cornmeal(?) on the bottom to make it crispy, which is nice, but the pizza sauce was VERY bland. Would not get again. read more

I was surprised at how good it was and a great price. If you want a quality slice, this place hits the spot. I got my regular, pepperoni. Great balance of sauce cheese and crust. read more

Stopped by to order some slices for dinner and they were just as friendly as they normally are. They did have a few people eating inside but it wasnt so crowded we couldn't walk inside. read more

I thought this pizza was delicious. I live in LA and I can never find good NY Pizza there so I was excited to try this place and it didn't disappoint. A cheese slice is only $3 and it's the perfect combo of cheese and sauce. The staff was very friendly and the place looked clean. I'll be back. read more

Over priced garbage. Pizza isn't good, service isn't good. $1.50 for a Poland spring? lol, I'll go elsewhere.

everytime I come here they always give us super small pieces compared to everyone else . The hispanics in the back give the Europeans big slices but give the black people small slices . i dont like that . I gave them 3 chances . it happen each time . i will not give them anymore money . read more

So terrible costumer service, owner looking at people like they nothing. I about to call 311 about this place, looks dirty. They definitely need to be checked for sanitation and food safety. read more

Best pizza in Brooklyn! I was so amazed at how good and authentic this pizza taste. Truly a NY pizza.

Dropped in for a quick bite to eat after running several errands around the neighborhood. I ordered a white slice. The guy working behind the counter was extremely nice. Brought my slice out to me and was very accommodating. It was honestly one of the best white slices I've had in a while. The crust was thin and crispy. The ratio to the ricotta and the mozzarella was great. It was warmed to perfection so that the ricotta was creamy while the mozzarella gave a slight pull without being too hot or stringy. Customer service was A+. Definitely will stop by again when I need a quick a bite or have a craving! read more

Vesuvius Pizza - DRY and nasty Chicken Parmigiana Hero - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've been eating Vesuvius pizza since childhood. Businesses come and go, which is further exacerbated because of things out of our control. That is to say, for Vesuvius Pizza to stay strong in the neighborhood tells you all you need to know. When there were other pizzerias added to the area, I genuinely thought, "those owners are bold and ambitious to try to take over any foot traffic." Because you can put gold flakes in your slice for all I care, nothing beats a classic neighborhood spot. read more

I have had pizza all over Brooklyn but today I had the best! My fiancée took me to Kings Highway for the first time and we spotted Vesuvius and gave it a try and blew my mind! It was incredible!!! The crust was to die for and I personally believe to be Brooklyns finest! Looking forward to many more visits! read more

Vesuvius Pizza - a slice of pizza on a paper plate - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Tiny neighborhood hole in the wall with good pizza and reliable and friendly delivery

They use their bare hands to make the food. Owner is very rude and unprofessional. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

My boyfriend loves this place. I think it's his favorite spot for pizza. He has to get a slice whenever he takes me home. Their slices are thin and crispy. Both my boyfriend and my family prefers thinner pizza so this is great for them. read more

I would give this place a minus star rating. Ordered on Seamless and they delivered two in a half hours late. Called the restaurant to see what the problem was and they gave no reason. They said they were busy and that they would get the Oder out when they could. Food was cold and terrible. NEVER ORDER FROM THIS DUMP!!! read more

Congrats on being the absolute worst pizza I've tasted in Brooklyn. Slice had absolutely no flavor other than crust. There was a man in there screaming a foreign language on the phone the entire time I was in there, then he walked into the back. Must be the owner. Very unprofessional. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

I love this little hole in the wall. They happen to have amazing pizza, and really not expensive. They also have chicken calzones, garlic knots, etc etc. They have every flavor of snapple and all different types of sodas. The place is literally the size of my walk in closet. They have 4 tables. I usually take out, I don't want to sit there, claustrophobia.... read more

My first time but it's a favorite spot for my friend. Located on the corner with limited seating and friendly service though. Her and I had a quick stop here today and I am still craving for more. My spinach slice was super savory and delicious. The dough was light and crispy while the slice was loaded with spinach. Definitely coming back to try the other varieties. read more

Vesuvius Pizza - Two thumbs up! - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Not that great. Was lured in by hunger and needed to feed the family. Ordered a whole pie but was surprised that when you order a whole pie, they shrink the pizza! Everyone who ordered slices had big slices around us. Our pie was made up of slices 3/4 the size of everyone else's. The crust was thin and crispy but too thin. There wasn't much cheese on the pie either. The layer of cheese was as thin as the crust. I had three slices but my hunger still lingered. As we drove home, my wife agreed with me, we stopped by a dumpling house for dumplings and sesame pancakes bc we were still so hungry. So, I did like their crust actually but I was annoyed our pizza was so small and lacked even cheese. Avoid this place if you need a pie. Maybe it's ok for slices. Wife suggested I add that we did order a large pizza. Should we have ordered extra large? read more

Let me first say I've never eaten here before and NEVER WILL... Although I LOVE PIZZA and throw my money away to pizza restaurants DAILY!!!! My experience was NASTY!!!!!! I was calling on personal business and got the numbers mixed up. The first man, I could barely understand on the phone. He started telling me it had a shower and a kitchen (I was searching for commercial spaces) then when I asked the monthly cost the phone cut off. I didn't think I was hung up on so I called back. A new person answered the phone yelling.... he said... WHAT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND?!!!? LOOK WHAT TIME IT IS.... WAKE UP!!!! After reading the reviews and seeing other people's experience with rudeness and what seems to be not so great pizza... that's probably why they're so mad. Guys it's NY there's great pizza EVERYWHERE! Don't give this NASTY ASS BUSINESS your money! read more

Amazing pizza!! Thinnest crust.. delicious sauce .. It was like warm heaven down my throat... The owners are great and super welcoming and always smiling .... Small but cozy place.. A+ food and health inspection.. Definitely recommend going for an amazing slice of pizza!! Everything else is also delicious pepperoni rolls, chicken rolls, calzones etc etc read more

Pizza was dry dry dry . Please put more sauce not just cheese, don't be so cheap with your sauce. I won't be back.

Thin crust yet sturdy to hold, this place has bee here for years which is a testament if it's quality and great taste, delicious sauce, The owners are great and super welcoming, reasonably priced for the area, small but cozy place. Definitely recommend going for an amazing slice of Brooklyn style NYC pizza!! Everything else is also delicious such as the pepperoni rolls, chicken rolls and calzones. read more

This place is usually good but this time it was terrible. I ordered the Sicilian pizza and it was really sloppy. The cheese was too chewy and runny. The sauce was like soup and it was way too sour. The crust was good but it was a little doughy on the top. When we opened the box right after we got it, the cheese and sauce was spilled of the pizza. It was gross. read more

An excellent example of local Brooklyn Pizza. Thin crust, crispy, just the right amount of cheese, sauce and toppings. You can't go wrong with Vesuvius! read more

Great pizza. Best place in the neighborhood. When fresh during the day, their specialty slices are amazing. One is filling but you always go back for a second. Sure if you catch it in the evening or when slow then they would have to reheat the slice, as does every pizzaria everywhere, ever, aside from difarras (sp?) of course. But its still tastier and more appetizing than most places around. read more

This pizza place is located in a busy corner on Kings Hwy. This is by far has the BEST pizza that is made with FRESH ingredients and have the consistency you should expect from a good pizzaria anytime of the year - day or night. Their specialty pizza are awesome and the regular pie are spectacular! You can't go wrong with this place. read more

I lived around the corner from here back in '91 to about '93. The smell of pizza from the place is probably one of the first whiffs of pizza I had. I mean this smell was quintessential nyc pizza. I haven't smelled that particular smell in over a decade, and I've had amazing pizza since then, but the smell disappeared and I wasn't sure why. Today I needed that smell, an aroma that brought me back to childhood. I came to Kings Hwy and craving pizza decided to drop by Vesuvius, though I can't really be certain that's what it was called way back when since I moved just far enough for it to be really inconvenient. I was mortified, the smell wasn't there. Nothing, not one bit. There wasn't even the standard aroma of a pizza place, the spices, the heat from the oven, none of it. Surely a literal hole in the wall, no bigger than 6x15 place would have some sort of aroma to it. I ordered the special, two slices and a soda for 5 bucks, surprisingly more expensive than my go to utility pizza place. The pizza, coming out of being reheated no doubt was crunchy but not the kind of crunchy you want. It's more like it's been reheated so many times that there's no moisture left in it. The sauce lacked any flavor and the cheese itself dried like plastic after going thru a microwave. This was the most unpleasant experience of pizza I've had. I go to the "New York" pizza places outside of NY to remind me never to take NYC pizza for granted and as bad as those fail they have some semblance of flavor. This had none. TLDR and conclusion: I won't be coming back, and you should avoid this place. It's overpriced and the product is cardboard. Blegh! read more

It's like I'm out of my mind. Or maybe New York is making me hallucinate. Is this really the thinnest crust I've had in a long time? On a twice reheated, cheese decroded slice of pizza that does not have enough sauce on? I blame either the wear gentrification has on Italian-owned businesses, or my nostalgia for the Mount Vernon grimy pizza places back when I first was "steamin up car windows" (or eating pizza on the floor of the parking lot in A&P Fleetwood more like in my gold sneakers). But, while Polito's is fresh out of the oven, its odd cardboardy crust doesn't compare (to um, A'Mangiare) and somehow Rizzo's similarly overheated slice with one piece of cheese ungenerously slapped on. Chris Rock still likes his Whodini and I still like like MF DOOM and, um, Fleetwood Joe's/Scala Pizza. read more

Thin crust. Very crispy. Their meatball slice is very good. Haven't tried their square yet. The store is tiny. Three tiny tables. So it's often hard to find a seat. read more

Solid pizza with one of the best crusts I've ever had. A lil' oily for me, but that wouldn't detract me from coming back.
