Oh my goodness. This is good pizza. Best pizza in the neighborhood, even. Start with the excellent margherita and explore the menu from there.
Ideal to bring your date. Pizza is well worth the money. You can reheat the pizza the next day and it's perfect. Staff is cool, and you can sit and watch the guys make the pizzas in front. Love it.
Varun ShettyAugust 30, 2013Sitting in the back patio at night is one of the more pleasant experiences in New York. Fantastic Neapolitan pizzas and the Piazza cocktail is summer in a glass.
Jineen CarcamoMay 6, 2016Very cozy, cool spot in Crown Heights. My friends and I were able to hang out at the bar while we waited for a table. Pizza was very yummy! And the $2 yuengling happy hour was too good to pass up!
Hands down among the best pizza in Brooklyn. Can't go wrong with any of the pies, but try the Sopressata Picante and Four Cheese with Pepperoni.
The Corcoran GroupDecember 4, 2013Truly some of the best pizza we've had in Brooklyn. Come with some friends so you can try a few - but mainly the meatball, the arugula with prosciutto, & the four cheese with pepperoni are must-try's!- Lears FoolMarch 8, 2016I love these large but intimate places. The prosciutto arugula pizza basically comes with a pile of arugula on top. You could convert it to a side salad and still have enough for a pizza
Rachel PortSeptember 30, 2016The sopressata picante with hot honey is delicious, I ate it all by myself within 10 minutes. I probably would've liked it even more if it was pepperoni instead.
Ask for chili oil to dip your crust. Get the pepper appetizer and add the burrata! It's not on the menu but save room for dessert and ask for a limoncello to pour over vanilla gelato - amazing!
Excellent Neapolitan wood-fired pizza. Indoor and outdoor tables, but I head straight to the bar for a Margherita pizza and beer or wine.
Tessa NicholsJanuary 10, 2014this place is great. good date spot or to go with the group. delicious pizza, fresh ingredients. AND their happy hour is sick. from 11pm-1am their yuenglings were $2. Cannot beat $2 beer in Brooklyn.
I love this place. I always come on Sundays once in a while if I'm hung over and it is a perfect start to my day :) you really can't go wrong with any of the pizzas, every one I've had rocks
KENovember 7, 2018Get the four cheese pepperoni! 4-7pm is $2 off drinks and usually no wait. A pizza is big enough to share for two. Romantic, warm, glowy vibes. Go vs. ordering take-out. Not crazy about the desserts.
OMG!!! The meatball Pizza is Heaven!!! Don't forget to get the spicy Honey for dipping your crust.😋 late happy hour is the best!!! 11pm-1am- Wesley A'HarrahJanuary 31, 2018The sopressata picante pizza may be the best in New York. Gives Roberta’s Pizza’s ‘Bee Sting’ a run for its money.
Jim TaylorApril 9, 2015Enjoy their outdoor patio on a warm summer evening, or in the cozy wooden interior in cooler months. Barboncino is always vibing, and the wait times aren’t too bad for such a popular restaurant. Read more
Tom OldenburgSeptember 21, 2015The waiter recommended the Sopressata Picante with some extra honey on the side. It was seriously one of the best pizza's I've ever had. Unfortunately I took a picture when I was almost done.
India KAugust 27, 2014My favorite pizza in New York. Drinks are amazing too. Such a cute place with a great vibe. The artichoke pancetta pizza is the best thing you will ever taste.- Elizabeth BursteinOctober 25, 2020Came here with miles and arden. Delicious pizza (marinara, clam, artichoke) and really good burrata. 2 bottles of delicious multepulciano
Nohemie PJuly 29, 2014Def a Crown Heights hidden gem. My friend and I tried the Cheese Plate paired up with some tasty white wine and it was incredible! Amazing service and atmosphere.
Guillaume PJuly 4, 2016Everything was delicious, the cocktails, the pizzas,... What's more, even if it's a rather large place, it succeeds to keep an intimate ambiance. We loved it !
Caroline WhiteAugust 14, 2013Amazing sazeracs and even better brick oven pizza. The ambiance is perfect and the candles smell amazing in addition to the sweetest waitstaff. Also, perfect date spot.
Kyulee SeoApril 23, 2016Nice vibe and open late. Get the pizza with the hot honey!!! And the meatballs were also fantastic
This place is huge, plus they have a garden in back. Amazing food and there's almost never a wait. Not an easy thing to find these days.
Best pizza in Crown Heights. Dough, sauce, and toppings are all top notch. Meatballs appetizer is amazing and even their Margherita pizza is fantastic.
Barboncino is a jewel in the neighborhood. Great cozy vibe, cool clientele, friendly staff, and melt-in-your- mouth pizza keep it top of the mind for a special, affordable treat.
Rose Arlene MilgromJuly 22, 2015Be sure to ask for hot honey to drizzle on your pizza! They also have rosemary bread off menu that is essentially a heavenly puff of their pizza crust!
Globetrottergirls DaniApril 20, 2019The pizzas are massive - share one between two people, that way you’ll have room for the chocolate banana dessert calzone 😊
Elishia ConstantineSeptember 18, 2012Four cheese and pepperoni drizzled with a locally made honey is delicious. Neapolitan Meatball is yummy. Lunchbox cocktail is interesting in a good way. Service and atmosphere were phenomenal.
Brian ParkAugust 16, 2016This place is up there with the likes of Don Antonio in terms of Neopolitan style pizza. The Eggplant & Zucchini and Sopressata Picante pizzas were incredible!
Orchaid JonesNovember 2, 2014Very cute space perfect for a date or night w/ friends. Pizza pie will definitely fill you and try the Tiramisu
Lynn Bednar-RandoJune 18, 2019MB were too salty/garlicky.sauce bland.clam pizza was uneventful, surprisingly the eggplant/zucchini pizza was best, the sausage/Cremini pizza was dry.tirimisu had amaretto,dk choc gelato was good
RJ DuganSeptember 5, 2013the reason brick oven pizza restaurants exist. try the sopressata with the honey chili oil. the owners son is the long kid with the smart glasses running food with the big smile.
Rynee ScottOctober 8, 2020The best neighborhood pizza. Start from there with the excellent Margherita and explore the different menu. 4 cheese pepperoni was tasty.
Clarice MeadowsJune 20, 2015Every pizza I've had has been amazing. The drinks are great and the meatballs are outstanding.
Jessica ImbertOctober 13, 2016The space is very nice. Very warm hospitality. Ambience is 👌🏾 wine was great as well as the Margherita pizza. Definitely recommend
Amruta BugeJune 11, 2021The Sopressata Picante is the best I’ve ever had. I also loved the tomato base 🍅 had just the right amount of sweetness.
geeJuly 10, 2015What a beautiful restaurant! And the pizza is delicious-- brought back memories of Italy! The caprese w/ burrata was amazing!
Michelle MunvezFebruary 15, 2013Wow, such a quality spot. Tasty food, simple & Not overwhelming menu. Interesting wine list, & great service! Couldn't be happier with my first stop in Brooklyn!
Onur AvcıDecember 19, 2018Çok iyi hamur ve şık mekan, Meatball pizza denemeye değer. / Very good pizza dough and nice place, you should try Meatball pizza.
Carlos EscobarSeptember 18, 2012I shared 2 pizzas with two friends. The meatball pizza didn't have a lot of meat but still very tasty as was the nepotaliano four cheese pizza. This place is a restaurant/bar, no hole in the wall.
Don't want to write a good review, because I don't want to have to wait in line. That being said, this place is brilliant. Knowledgeable about wine, great menu, and great food. <3 the spinach salad
Adam MayJanuary 5, 2016Really beautiful place, if I ever open a place I want it to look like this. Pizza is great, crust is soft, stop in for brunch!
A.C.December 23, 2013Love this place. Wonderful staff, tasty food. Perfect for date night or just hanging with friends.
Kirsty AllenSeptember 11, 2017The pizza shouldn't be missed. Super garlicky and brilliant crust. Wish I could go all the time
Angel SánchezAugust 7, 2016This is the place where u take your girl out to eat some fine ass pizza. One of the few pizza places where you can get beer at the same time.
Julie McMahonOctober 16, 2012Food is incredible and service is great. Wonderful Franklin ave find with a little swankier atmosphere. The arugula pizza and Bibb salad (wine) were excellente.
Gabriel HayesMarch 29, 2015Nice cocktail list. Love the Piazza (Bulleit bourbon, amaro Montenegro, lime, rosemary syrup and fever tree ginger beer).

"Everything is sooo yummy. With the coziest vibe and friendliest owners this new spot is a gem. You MUST get the Emily pizza and sprouts of course. Their homemade mozzarella is out of this world!"

"Indoor/outdoor seating next to beach volleyball courts (with real sand!), rooftop deck with lights, too. Pizza, beer, wine, snacks, and Chloe's Soft Serve on tap. Overlooking the water. Great for kids"

"Great food. Unexpected flavor combinations that surprise and delight. But, too many Mosquitos to enjoy the cute patio. Order take-out or delivery or grab one of the few seats inside."
