I am in the minority when I disagree with the rating of L & B. The pizza was a novelty and for awhile fabulous, but now other neighborhood pizzerias have perfected the L & B squa...

best silician slice anywhere 12/14/2005

my dad grew up right across the street and raved about the spumoni and silician slices here my entire life. finally i'm 23 and he took me, and even after all his hype (he's a major foodie and has impeccable taste) it exceeded my expectations. no other silician slice compares, nothing else even deserves to be called silician in contrast - delicious sauce, light and airy bread, perfect crust. man oh man. and the pistachio spumoni is incredibly good, as far as i'm concerned this is the only place worth even trying spumoni. everywhere else is just ice cream with stuff in it. more

OK this is Pizza the way Brooklyn Intended 12/13/2005

This is by far the best pizza that you have ever eaten. You can go to all these gormet places and eat expensive pizza this is the best cheese, sauce, bread its a done deal. If you like Brick Oven go to Grimaldi's but you want pizza go hear and have a spumoni that is the best period! Unless you are going to Italy you can not compete. Also the food is enormous so do not order too much unless you want leftovers for a week! Also, all these other pizza places do they have a fire truck, police cars and ambulance double and triple parked? That right there you should go do not walk RUN!!! Its great! Brooklyn's best kept secret! Pros: Pizza, Spumoni, Everything Cons: Parking, D-Parked Police Cars, D-Parked Fire Truck more

Now THIS is pizza! 11/7/2005

I went with a friend from Brooklyn. Until then I thought I'd had the best pizza NYC had to offer - John's, Arturo's, Lombardi's, et al. All good. But when I bit into the Sicilian slice at L & B I saw God. Crisp crust, delicious sauce, the right amount of cheese. Don't get me wrong the Neopolitan slice was also very, very good. But nothing tops the ""square slice!"" I only had two slices because I wanted room for the spumoni. It's rare to find homemade spumoni. Most people settle for the tri-flavored ice cream in the supermarket. The other food they serve is also very good, but the pizza keeps calling me back! Pros: pizza, sauce, crust Cons: parking more

spumoni to come back 2500 miles for 9/20/2005

Grew up near L&B as a kid. Been going there for 55+ years. The round pizza doesn't taste as good as I recall, it's still wonderful, but the Sicilian is to die for. You have to try their home made spumoni; unbelieveable. i live in Arizona & go back to Bklyn 3x's a year. L&B is always a must to stop at. There's double pkg on the street if the small lot is full. Don't worry, the cops do it too. After all, this is Bklyn at its best. Pros: great pizza, home made spumoni, ultra fast service Cons: small pkg lot more

Best pizza for 50 years! 9/20/2005

I've been making trips to L&B since I was 4, and I am now 54. This pizza is the BEST anywhere for ""grandma"" slices! It's tomatoey with a fresh, thin slice of mozzarella and a dusting of parmesan. We live in NJ now, and whenever we are in Brooklyn to visit folks we detour to L&B and bring home a half a pie (12 slices) to freeze. With other pizza I eat one slice, but with this amazing pizza, I eat 3 and have to force myself to stop (and I am 110 lbs!). You've GOT to try it! Sit outside at the picnic tables and have yourself a treat. Pros: taste, consistency, quality ingredients Cons: limited indoor seats more

Awesome place 7/12/2005

This place is great--I used to go as a kid with a friend's family and I started going back several years ago. Good pizza, awesome spumoni, and great dinner prices in the restaurant area. Portions are huge and enough to eat for two more days!! Even the salads are enormous! Try the Caesar. I always bring non native Brooklynites and I have never heard a complaint--good bang for the buck! Be prepared to wait as it gets packed but feel free to enjoy the view of the cute cops and firemen that show up constantly! Always a plus! Pros: great food, affordable, outdoors, casual environment Cons: long wait, difficult to park more

Definitely the Best Pizza in Brooklyn! 7/11/2005

Spumoni Gardens pizza is one of the best pizza I have had in Brooklyn. When I lived in the area, my family had this pizza every Friday. Either we go and eat the pizza there in there open air seating area or we would have it delivered. I know live out of state down south, but every time I return to Brooklyn, Spumoni Gardens is definitely one of my stops. You would definitely agree that is the best pizza around! Pros: Great Pizza, Fantastic Pizza, Best Pizza Cons: parking, long lines more

User review by applebeez 7/11/2005

This is the stuff pizza is made of. The perfect crust with lots of hot oozing mozzarella on a seasoned-just-right pizza. The perfect Bensonhurst pizza. more

AMAZING 7/11/2005

L & B Pizza is truly a treat!!! We live all the way in Southern N.J. My husband commutes to N.Y. When he's in Brooklyn, the kids and I ask him to pick it up and bring it home for us. We anticipate dinner time all day until it gets here. It's so unbelieveable. The taste is so consistent for years!! Everyone that tries it will agree. AMC more

Brooklyn's Best 6/6/2005

L&B pizza is among the best in the world. It is very easy to scarf down 4 slices without even batting an eyelash. My parents used to live across the street from the restaurant in the Marlboro Projects and whenever we leave Long Island and cross over through Brooklyn we have to grab a dozen slices because they are just that good. The food at the restaurant is great too. I have never eaten something that I didnt like. Pros: Food, Folks, Service Cons: Parking, Crowded, Birds more

The best spumoni and Sicilian pizza this side of the Atlantic...hands down... more

The best place to eat for all four seasons 5/5/2005

My parents moved my 4 sisters & I to Brooklyn in 1953, I was 16. L&B was the 1st place we went to eat & I've been there at least 1 or 2X's a month until I moved my family to Monroe, NY in 1981. Summer was the best, you always met ur friends there. The thing i really missed was the clam bar. Still whenever I visit my nephew Carmine, iI stop by L&B's & bring home a whole sheet of Sisilian pizza & frozen Spumoni. Pros: Long lines they moved, pretty fast always , got my corners more

The Best of NY is the Best of America! 5/4/2005

If you have never tried L&B's Sicilian pizza you have no idea what you are missing. Whether you are a native New Yorker, a transplanted NYr, or a tourist you must make your way to L&B and try their Sicilian pizza. It will literally make you feel like you have died and gone to heaven. Their restaurant is also amazing. The Italian dishes they prepare are magnificent! My ultimate favorite is chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. And their house wines are excellent. Did I mention that their ice cream will leave you begging for more? If you live in Brooklyn or are close by L&B Spumoni Gardens is a must come on you owe it to your taste buds. Pros: Great food, Great food, Great food Cons: Price of Sicilian, Delivery/Wait time, No reservations more

Great Food 1/14/2005

Me and my wife we go there at least once a month, the food they give you is amazing we only get one order of pasta and main course it is enough for both to share,we get full and satisfied, our favorite dish penne with pesto. Try it you won't regret it. more

An Amazing place to be 11/3/2004

I moved to Jersey from gravesend BKLYN and I have been going here for pizza and spumoni ever since I ate solid foods! I rave about this place to everyone when they talk about ""good pizza"" (theres no such thing in jersey). The pizza can't be beaten and the spumoni is the best I've ever had. I give this place an A+++. Pros: Amazing Pizza, Amazing Spumoni more

AS A YOUNG GIRL I TRAVELED WITH MY FAMILY ON SATURDAY NIGHTS FOR THE PIZZA AND SPUMONI OF COURSE.. NOW I AM 44 YRS OLD AND MY FAMILY TRAVELS IN FROM PENNSYLVANIA THE FIRST THING THEY ASK IS 86ST OUT OF THE QUESTION? OH COME ON LETS GO AND 90 MINUTES LATER ALL THE GENERATIONS GO TO L&B FOR THE WORKS. WE START OUT WITH SPUMONI WHILE THE PIZZA IS MADE FOR US THEN WE FINISH OFF WITH IT FOR DESSERT!!! MY SON AND MY UNCLE HAVE CONTESTS TO SEE HOW MUCH THEY CAN EAT. THE MEMORIES THAT ARE MADE AT THIS PLACE.... Pros: CRUST IS CRISPY, DELICIOUS, BEST SPUMONI Cons: , AWFUL TO PARK, AWFUL TO PARK more

The VERY Best Pizza!!! 8/14/2004

For 39 years the quality of the pizza pies, both Neapolitan and Sicilian styles, has been the very best in the City of New York! The Italian food is great and plentiful too. In the summer the tables outside are usually full with happy eaters. Pros: Good Value, Best Pizza, Good Staff Cons: , insufficient parking more

One of a kind! 6/3/2004

Try the Roasted Artichoke hearts! Best silcian slice I know of, in all of Brooklyn. Pros: Family Oriented, inexpensive, Delicious spumoni Cons: , gets crowded more

L&BSpumoni_gardens fond memories 5/22/2004

When I was a kid, in summer, coming back home, we would pick up L&B Spumoni Gardens' sicilian pizza, Lemon ice and pistacchio spumoni. Go to grandma &grandpa's in Bensonhurst. The quality of the ""square"" pizza... unrivalled; the taste... exquisite! The ices and the spumoni were perfect desserts to the pizza. The sauce on the pizza was the best; it was thick and it QUENCHED your craving. Years later, when I go, the same sounds; the same smells and the same ""feel"" to the place--and it is one that I associate with good family love and happy times. But most of all, the tastes are still the best! If you want to capture the essence of Brooklyn Sicilian-American popular culture, the L&B Spumoni Gardens is the place to be. Pros: Great pizza, great people, open air dining Cons: , tough to park more

Still Loving L&B From Jersey 5/19/2004

Never will you taste sicilian Pizza and Spumoni like L&Bs. Everyone says that their round slice is no good, but the Sicilian is so good that I have never tried the round. I can't go into brooklyn (From NJ) without stopping at the Garden. I was talking to a guy in line once, at L&B, and he told me ""I just got out of jail & I came straight here, I didn't even see my mother yet. This place is the best and nothing compares to it. Pros: good food, great summer hang out, alot of choices Cons: , bathrooms too small, Too far from NJ more
