Best Pizza I've ever had !! Worth the wait (1 hr 15 min)
Rodger SmithSeptember 17, 2019
The crust is crispy, the sauce is hearty and well balanced a very good pizza
Abu TaherNovember 7, 2017
It’s amazing. Worth the hype, but calm down with the hyperbole. Just wait, order, wait, and it fresh.
Seth ThompsonApril 21, 2013
Had the Sausage, Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Onions, Garlic, and Black Olives regular pie... A must do if you are in Brooklyn!!!
Bradley PatrieDecember 8, 2013
Best slice I've ever had! Skip the toppings and go straight for a cheese pie. Worth the trip!
P. D.May 28, 2021
May 2021: I have had transcendent pizza here before, but quality has slipped a good deal. The old man is not around, which may be a contributing factor.
Adam KubanAugust 16, 2011
You're probably already here, so my tip to GO BEFORE OPENING is probably wasted on you. So I'll just say, GET A WHOLE PIE. Round or square. Both great. It's not worth the wait for only a slice or two. Read more
Lee HoffmanJuly 15, 2017
The best normal slice I've ever had
naveenFebruary 23, 2015
a must in New York.
Erin McCueSeptember 4, 2016
Ask to use the bathroom; you get to go behind the counter.
Ben RAugust 8, 2014
Listen to the recs to get there before opening and get a whole pie.
Liam K.July 29, 2017
If you have a big enough party you can rent it out.
RossDecember 23, 2016
Good, not mind-blowing. Not worth waiting two hours. Be careful of the time estimate when you ask how long it'll take; it'll be off by 4-6x. Go for the square before the round, and don't order a pie.

I've had a lot of great pizza, and this place consistently continues to be the best pizza I've ever had.
Gianna NebbiaNovember 13, 2017
Amazing. But everyone already knows that. Get the square pizza. No toppings.
Flo FloFebruary 8, 2013
$5 a slice plus a $1 extra per topping. 2 slices will run as much as a pie. Do I think this place is worth the price, travel and wait. No. Is it good, yes but def NOT the BEST.
Tom WalshSeptember 7, 2017
Worth the wait Dominic is the only only one that makes the pies. He is the pizza genius.
Renee F. The Brooklyn BiteMarch 21, 2013
One of the best in the land. Go off hrs to avoid crazy wait times. Peppers on counter are delicious but spicyyyyyy
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014
Dom DeMarco may be getting old, but if he weren't so humble, he might invoke Jay Z and let everyone know the truth: "Your best shit ain't better than my worst shit." Go pay homage while you still can. Read more

Amazing pizza. To die forTake the whole pie.
Raul ReyesFebruary 22, 2019
It's a very good pizza, it really differentiates from other places, now, is it a slice worth $5, not sure.
Bradley JonesMay 25, 2012
Definitely eat a snack before you go because you will definitely have to wait more than 1 hour to get a pie. Worth it though!
Connie ChiuAugust 31, 2014
Classic and garlic topping! We waited for two hours. The pizza was reallyyyyy good but the two hours...not so much
AlexisOctober 29, 2012
Get a whole pie. If you just get one or two slices, you'll come back for more. And the wait's already long as it is.
Mariel FranklAugust 4, 2021
The cheese, toppings, sauce, are so so good. Definitely coming back.
Jarel HillJuly 11, 2018
Super good margherita. Classic ny slice. Need to go back for the squares
PizzaSnobo pizzasnobo.comMarch 13, 2011
Yes, it’s still great pizza and maybe you should go there once in your life. But traveling there, combined with the long wait once you arrive, takes up just too much time.
Howard LJuly 22, 2018
Good pizza but be prepared to wait for 2 hours. Very disorganized system and you never know when you’ll actually get your food!
Felicia MoeisJune 24, 2012
This man is so badass he can touch a piping hot/sizzling pizza pan with his bare hands. Experience it before he gets too old!
Jesse AngelinoJanuary 15, 2015
This.....this place.This place is the pizza that NY is known for.This is ground zero.This is THE Brooklyn Pizza.Where pizza starts and ends.
Omar JaberJune 15, 2012
best pizza in brooklyn. get a pie, you should be able to finish most of it cuz it's not greasy. iloveit
Jen ChungSeptember 18, 2013
"Legendary owner Don DeMarco stands at the counter generously topping your pizza with olive oil and fresh cut basil."
Ravi MexicoApril 3, 2013
It's NOT imperative to get a pie. Just walk to the counter and see if there are slices available. If so, Jump on it and laugh at the idiots waiting hours for a pie. If none, become one of the idiots.
Christopher Van VlackJune 12, 2016
The sauce was literally one of the best I've ever tasted.
Graham GnallJanuary 26, 2018
Best pizza in NYC. Squares, calzones, rounds all epic. Praise Dom, Based Pizza God.
Saarim ZamanJanuary 20, 2017
Be prepared to wait, but honestly one of the best experiences in NYC.
EugJune 28, 2013
The taste of pizza is great, however, you have to wait 10 hours in line for it. Worth the wait? In my opinion, no.
Bob TJuly 7, 2022
Classic NY Pizza from one of the greatest pizzaiolas in the world.

Joe CheskinAugust 29, 2014
The best pizza in New York. Period. Shut your whining and wait.
Jessica M.August 14, 2014
Best pizza in the city - believe the hype. That's all there is to it.
Monisha HendersonJanuary 20, 2013
Amazing pizza. Expensive but worth the $ and the wait. And buy whole pies not slices.
Serious EatsFebruary 1, 2012
Go on a weekday, just as they open at noon. In fact, get there a little early. Read more
Aaron WeymouthAugust 7, 2014
The square pie is amazing.
rich masioApril 3, 2015
Quaint. cute seeing the old man work solo. Painstakingly slow. His son helps by cutting the basil. Otherwise there's no one else working meaning 1-2 hour wait for a pie, which can be soggy or burnt
Joe CheskinJanuary 7, 2015
The best pizza in New York? Yes. Period.
Christine HaMarch 1, 2016
Solid pizza, Brooklyn institution. Go early for shorter line. 🍕
StageBuddyAugust 8, 2013
Get there as close to noon as possible for a shorter wait. Read more

The square and round pies each have their distinct cult following. Try'em both, but if you must choose, go square. It's a transcendental experience.
