can never go wrong with rainbow spumoni but if you want to switch it up have their homemade tiramisu ice cream. sprinkles optional.
MichelleAugust 19, 2014Skip the slices and go for a few of their amazing squares. The parking lot for the establishment is a bit small so don't even bother and find a space on the street nearby,if you're looking for parking
Paul KardousAugust 12, 2014The pizza is great, but the Spumoni is where it's at. Go for the mixed Spumoni, or if its a really hot day Cherry Ice, then a Spumoni!
StayNYC RentalsAugust 27, 2018One of the best square slices in New York is procured from a window at this old-school South Brooklyn red-sauce joint.
Simon & SchusterDecember 23, 2010My favorite place for pizza is Spumoni Gardens, in Bensonhurst, where my novel is set. The sauce is so full of zest you want to eat the entire pie, says Suzanne Corso, author of Brooklyn Story. Read more
Soo YooAugust 22, 2014Avoid the "round" pizza. It's all about the square Sicilian here. Must tip off with their famous tri-flavor ice cream! Do not go home without it!
MarinaMay 8, 2014It's all about the middle slices in the square pie. Lots of sauce and cheese. I'd stay away from the round slice. The square is the shining star.- David BlackmanSeptember 10, 2014Fantastic square pizza slices that will fill you up for cheap. Ices. Soft serve. Creamsicle soft server. Super fast service.
Alex RobertsonJuly 5, 2024Great pizza. I don’t think I really care for spumoni? The place is like a kid’s dream
Chev WAugust 13, 2022Get a whole pizza. Even if you can’t finish it all in one sitting. Just take it home if you can’t.
B NNovember 27, 2010Had my first taste of spumoni here on a hot day in summer '10, fainted from deliciousness but was awakened by the thick steam from a Sicilian pie. May be my fav square slice EVER as in pi pie.
GaudinessJune 8, 2015Best pizza in Brooklyn ❤️ don't forget ice cream after ! Summer can't go wrong !
- Double-park on 86th street, get a pie and a slice to go, and eat the slice on your way back to your car.
Marc SchneebergerJune 15, 2022It is a decent pizza if you are in the area. It will set you back on time and make you feel like an authentic New Yorker!!!
Lois RJuly 10, 2018Yummy squares of pizza! Thick crust with a crispy bottom and soft middle. Very reasonable prices!
Sam GilAugust 6, 2019Preferred grandma slice but it is very saucy if you don’t like that. Best part was the vibe outside though wasn’t one of my fav slices in city.
Best square pizza, rice ball parmigiana on the planet! Also a meal isn't complete without spumoni or Italian ices!!
Jaclyn RFebruary 3, 2019Incredible square pie. Loved it! Really fast service for pick up. Pay in cash to avoid a charge
Village VoiceMay 31, 2012It's summer time, which means time for you to enjoy the weather while you grub on pizza, pasta and refreshing ice cream at L&B's outdoor seating area.
I don't think the square pizza quite lives up to all the hype, but that rainbow spumoni is pretty spectacular. But don't be a jabroni. Ordering it in a small paper cup is the only way to go.
Fred SayedMay 16, 2013Must get a square , or 1/2 tray of squares or full tray... Life will be better with a square
TV Food MapsSeptember 14, 2011Seen on Man v. Food, this place is a favorite well before being on the show. The square is the best square I've ever had, hands down. Save some room for the spumoni.
Mark HannaSeptember 2, 2016Get the full tray and get ready to gorge yourself with the best pizza you'll ever have.
Amung the best pizza places not just in Brooklyn but the NYC area. Their squares transcend space and time.- Village VoiceNovember 26, 2012Sheet pizza slices with a layer of cheese under the sauce, and dough in the crust that's barely cooked. Critics' pick for best foodie adventure: Gravesend, BK.
Mike MusarellaDecember 20, 2014Sausage and broccoli rabe is awesome😉😉😉 in a sandwich or over pasta😋😋😋
Get the square. Always get the square. Then finish up with a cup of spumoni...a pint doesn't hurt either!
BuzzFeedApril 11, 2014Instead of waiting in an hour-long line for grumpy service at Di Fara, enjoy Brooklyn’s actual best pizza (maybe) with a square slice here.
Ramya SampathAugust 4, 2014Of course the Spumoni is amazing, but the soft serve is also the best I've ever had!
The Corcoran GroupMay 1, 2010Don't be caught ordering a slice. The sicilian squares are the way to go and leave room for spumoni. It's better than ice cream. Enjoy at one of the many outdoor tables.
Kaitlin WhitfordOctober 20, 2019When in Brooklyn Spumoni Gardens is a must! Best Sicilian pizza on the planet!
aside from their infamous sicilian spice, top off your night w/ their vanilla orange swirl ice cream. must have!- BuzzFeedApril 23, 2014Why would you want just vanilla, chocolate, or pistachio spumoni when you can get the "mixed" and have all three at once?
Anthony DavalosAugust 13, 2016Pizza and ice cream, wow! So delicious, not a cheap place but so yummy!!!
Make these choices: corner slices of square pie with extra char, small rainbow spumoni in a cup, good outdoor seats for primo people watching.
Jeremiah McCormickJune 17, 2016Sicilians all day. Half tray, full tray whatever works for you. The ice cream is amazing as well.
Mahi MuhammadDecember 7, 2017Their roasted artichokes are simply to die for. Order it and you won't be disappointed- WookApril 27, 2013Pizza was great, but it was cold! We went back up and got hot slices and they were amazing!
Lesley SmithMay 21, 2016The tray of pizza w/ the sauce on top of the cheese is legit. Get the spumoni ice cream.
Daniel MontalvoApril 25, 2015Best Sicilian in New York. Best Italian food ever hands down. A real gift to Brooklyn.
Carol CastanedaApril 14, 2013Amazing food, great sit-down area, and ice cream is wonderful. Prices are great for the portions that they serve.
I don't even KNOW what's on the menu besides two squares and a rainbow (chocolate, vanilla, pistachio) spumoni. Bring home half a tray and a quart of spumoni for those unwilling to make the trek here.
Anto DigNovember 28, 2020Amazing Sicilian pie! Also, try their vanilla and chocolate swirl soft serves
Chefs FeedAugust 3, 2016"The Sicilian is just so addictive. Don’t make the mistake of ordering a 'slice'—they’ll look at you weird." - Chef Nick Anderer Read more
