The Absolute Best 3/5/2004

Pizza in New York. Without a doubt. There is no way you can eat one slice. Whether it be round or square, with topping or without, and no matter how full you are, you're going to order more. So just get yourself two to begin with. And leave room for the Spumoni! more

Disappointed 2/8/2004

Order from Spumoni Gardens this past Friday night because my niece was up from Florida and she loves their pizza. Well we were very disapponted it was not up to the usual standards (order the sicilian pie). It was mushy and stuck to our teeth which means it must of been undercooked. There was no crispness to it at all. I know that their Sicilian pie is not very crispy, but this was like mush. I hope this is not an indication of what is to come for L&B Spumoni Gardens because if it is we won't be ordering from them again. Pros: Neighborhhod place, Good spumoni more

best pizza in brooklyn 12/11/2003

I lived a few blocks from L & B. I moved to Texas four years ago and since then have not been able to eat or taste a slice as great as L&B's pizza. Go there and sit outside on a warm summer day and enjoy your slice and right after top it off with one of their great icecream deserts. My mother is coming out to visit for new years and guess what she is bringing me YES!!! YOU GOT IT!! A great big slice of L&B;s yum yum can't wait.... Pros: sabrosa, delicious, fingerlicking good Cons: i live too far out, of state to get, some L&B pizza more

L&B - great food and portions 10/22/2003

While the outside pizza area is wonderful, don't overlook the restaurant itself. Great service and tremendous portions of excellently prepared food make L&B's Spumoni Gardens tops. And don't forget to have some Spumoni for dessert. Pros: Inexpensive, Large Portions, Great Service Cons: Small Parking lot, long line for pizza more

Mmmmm.... 9/4/2003

Hi, I've got more to say about the Spumoni Gardens, I live on Long Island and atleast once a week my family and I have my father stop by the Spumoni Gardens when he is in Brooklyn, even if he is completely on the otherside and it is totally out of his way just to get the pizza. We even have him get it, say if half of the 6 of us already ate and he calls and says he will get it, even then we have him pick it up and we all have a second dinner!! So no matter what any raters' say the Spumoni Gardens pizza is phanominal!! Pros: Reasonable Prices, Top quality food Cons: none, none, none more

The best sicilian ever... 8/16/2003

This is great pizza. But know that it's sicilian style Grandma pizza, which means that it's got sauce on top of the cheese. This old favorite dishes out terrific trays of pizza for young and old and of course, amazing spumoni. I love the fact that this made the best pizza list, all the way out in Brooklyn. Also, all the cops eat here, which is a glowing recommendation itself Pros: Great pizza, Fun outdoor seating, Cheap Cons: Poor parking more

Excellent Sauce but order early 8/8/2003

The sauce (or gravy) is unlike any I've tasted...sweet and flavorful. They seem to put the sauce over the mozzarella which allows the sauce to be the primary taste...love it! The oven gives it a crisp well-done taste again, unlike any other Sicilian pizza I've ever had...and I've tried them all! Only one thing that I must mention -if you are ordering a pie for delivery order very early as you may wait over an hour if it is a busy night.....they don't seem to need the business and it's almost worth waiting for! Pros: Great sauce!, best spumoni ice!, adequate parking Cons: sometimes long line, long wait on delivery, lot fills up quickly more

L & B 8/8/2003

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 square pizzas. The sauce is so so and the dough is soggy, raw...not what I like in a slice of pizza. The spumoni on the other hand is a must have. Pros: Inexpensive, Fast Service, Ambience Cons: Parking, Parking, Crowded in Summer more

Old world feel 7/6/2003

If you want and old world feel, old fashioned italian cuisine & service? Go to L & B Spumoni Gardens. They've been in business for about 60 years. The main dining area is small and cozy. They also have outside seating. And the best sicilian slice I've ever tasted!!! You can even eat it cold. Oh, and the spumoni ice cream is home made and mouth watering. NOW THIS IS BROOKLYN. Pros: Inexpensive, excellent service, cuisine Cons: small bathrooms more

CHEF LENNY IS THE BEST 6/21/2003

We ALL know that the Sicilian Pies and the Spumoni are the BEST!!!! However, the L& B Pasta House is unbeatable. The quality of food and the value are unmatched. The Executive Chef Leonard Kern aka (Lenny) has amazing talent. His specials change weekly, and are AMAZING!!!! He has turned The Pasta House into a culinary adventure. He brings class and sophistication to a neighborhood favorite. CITY FOOD AT BROOKLYN PRICES. Next time you are at L&B, try the pasta house, you won't regret it. The wait may be long on the weekend, but that just proves it's quality and popularity. People Know good food and keep coming back for more. Remember, they don't take reservations, so get there early and be nice to the hostesses, THEY WORK HARD!!!! more

You May be Missing Out 6/18/2003

If you haven't tried L&B square pizza you are definitely missing out. It's unlike any other pizza in New York (maybe the country)!! The sauce is zesty, the crust is crunchy and the cheese, well you don't see the cheese, but it's there!! Any L&B lover can put away at least 3-4 slices at a time and still have room for the outrageous supmoni! Go there! You won't dissappointed and if you are, then there is something wrong with you! Salute!!!! Pros: Reasonably Priced, Nice Outdoor Seating, Fast & Fresh Food Cons: Limited Parking more

The Best!!!!!! 3/7/2003

I have been eating L & B for my whole life. LUCKY ME! I have resently moved out of town and BOY DO I MISS A SLICE. The pizza and spamoni are like no other around. I have tried copy cats on staten island and no on will every match it. To go and a have a slice, sit and hang out and see poeple you grew up with, is GREAT. They carry on the tradition of haveing a slice with thier kids. The resturant has the best penne alla vodka sauce i have ever had. When I come into town everyone knows were I will be heading as soon as I get off the plane. so who ever reads this ENJOY!!!! more

Pizza Lover 3/7/2003

I can't believe L&B is rates one of the best places in NY to find good pizza. Maybe at one time, but now YUCK!! The pizza is soggy. It is gross. I live 2 blocks from there..I drive 20 minutes to my old neighborhood for good pizza. Seriously, if you like thin pizza with a krispy crust..L&B is NOT the place to go. Since L&B is a landmark, of sorts, it is always jammed packed with people who don't what good pizza is. Therefore, the service is horrible. The counter guys are very nasty. On the other hand---L&B SPUMONI is great!! more

The Best of the Best! 3/7/2003

I have been coming to the Spumoni Gardens since I married my wife(13 yrs), who is related to the L & B family. I have to say it is the best Sicilian pie I have eaten in the world! We stop by anytime we are in the area. Keep up the great work! Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Great People Cons: needs more parking more

The best Sicilian slices! 3/7/2003

Thin crust, lots of sauce and very little cheese, it's not your typical Sicilian slice of pizza, but can't explain why I have a hard time eating less than 4 of those babies! Top that off with some great Spumoni and that's just about makes a perfect summer day! more

Best Pizza in Brooklyn 3/6/2003

Not your typical Brooklyn triangle pizza that's served on every corner. L&B puts the cheese on the bottom with tons of sauce on top. Anyone I've met who has tried it, has loved it. It's so good, we send gophers from Wall St to pick up pies for lunch. The spumoni (italian ice cream) also deserves raves. Be warned - between the pizza and spumoni the place is packed nightly in the summer. Definitely worth the trip. Pros: the food Cons: summertime parking more

L & B SUPMONI GARDENS & PASTA HOUSE 3/6/2003

Beside the pizza area is their Pasta House, it's a 10+ ! The wait may be long (sometimes up to 1 hour) but it is well woth it. The place is not fancy, but their food is wonderful. Their main chef Louie, makes the oddest specials you will ever see and the portions are quite large. You will probably take home leftovers. You must try it and see for yourself. Pros: Great food, Good service, Never rushed Cons: No Reservations, Long wait, small interior more
