Profile

If you’re a sucker for nostalgia and a connoisseur of Sicilian pizza, you’ll love this Bensonhurst landmark where locals and pizza pilgrims line up for the signature square pie (a light, crunchy crust, adorned with a bare minimum of mozzarella cheese beneath a layer of tangy tomato sauce) and a paper cup of the frozen house specialty.

Recommended Dishes

Pizza slice, $2; square pizza pie, $18

L&B Spumoni Gardens has the greatest pizza ever, hands down. There is just no question about it. The restaurant is fantastic to with great pasta choices, all for reasonable prices.

Best damn square in town!

Unique, light, smoking-hot squares. Not too much mozzarella, lots of sauce & grated peccorino romano. I can, and have eaten more than 6 at a time. You can not find this pizza style anywhere else, yet.
