    I really like my pizza, so it's a really good thing that for many years, I had access to the solid slices that Grandma's churns out.  My go-to has always been a standard pepperoni pie, though as the other reviewers suggest the grandma slices are indeed quite good.  This place will never really beat out the coal and brick oven specialty pizzerias around town, but for a neighborhood joint with no lines and that'll get a fresh pizza delivered to your door in 30 minutes, Grandma's is A-ok.

  2. Grandma's here are as good as it gets!

    Sauce… chunky and sweet with a hint of basil
    Cheese… chewy and savory
    Crust… thin, but dense with a soft crunch that gives way to a balanced chewy texture similar to a NY bagel.

    There's rarely parking here during the day, so order ahead and to-go because the decor is ridiculously retro in a bad way.  I've only had the short-sightedness to try the Grandma pizza, but all of the other specialty slices and even the garlic knots looked better than your average pizzerias', especially the eggplant slice.  Prices are exceptional for what you get.  You may look at your g-ma slice thinking it is way too small, but again, the density of the slice makes up for the lack of square-inch.  If this shop wasn't an hour from where I live, you better believe I'd be here at least once a week.  Until then, I'll be here as often as you visit your grandma.  Equally sad.

  3. I really enjoy this pizza.
    It has a different flavor that makes them different from other pizza places.
    I don't know what size we bought but the squares are almost as big as  fingers and the palm of my hand!  So, one slice is all you may need!  but, if your will is weak, you'll end up wanting and probably eating 2 or 3!  =)

  4. Stopped by on my way from Shore Road and needed a quick bite. I didnt see any calzones on the shelf. Hey you got any calzones I asked. Yea they take like 15 minutes. Ok make it with ham please.

    I went around the corner and came back. Ordered some grandma slices (whole wheat) which werent bad. Not fantastic but ok nice sauce and thin which grandmas are. Lol

    The calzone wasnt bad either pretty big and cheesy like a calzone is hmmmmm (cheesy)
    Service was fast and friendly but not cheap, overall like close to $15 dollars for 2 yes two slices and calzone. I could get a 14 inch pie for 8 dollars else where, less than mile away. So look around for pies before buying single slices here again.

  5. This place has grandma's pizza, which is a very thin crust square slice with fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce. It even has a whole wheat crust version. A slice of this is $2.50 and $2.75 for whole wheat plus tax… seriously? Why can't you include tax like the rest of the pizzerias. It's just annoying when you pay.

    Anyway, the pizza itself is good. The sauce is a little on the sweet side. The crust is nice and thin.

  6. Was looking forward to trying this pizza place after seeing all the good reviews on yelp. It sure didn't disappoint. First off, the decor is kind of old school and small, but service was friendly and fast.  All the prices and the types of pizza was clearly labeled.  

    Had their grandma slice, margherita slice, and buffalo chicken slice.  Grandma and the margherita slice are similar. Just that one is a triangle and the other is a square.  The grandma slice is crunchy and thin.  The sauce and cheese tasted really fresh.  Buffalo chicken slice is pretty good also.  Generous amount of chicken pieces and sauce.

    Overall, this is a good pizza joint.  Many types of pizza slices to choose from.  Looking forward to trying their other stuff.

  7. Decent food. Delivery takes a LONG time. Expect to wait up to 2 hours. They'll also not include stuff that you ordered without calling you to let you know that they didn't have any. Disappointing overall. With so many other options in the area it doesn't make sense to order from them again.

  8. Grandmas original pizza is what you must order. It's all about the sauce!!! That Marinera. Yummmmm. Every time I pass through Brooklyn I must stop in for a slice. It's worth the try.
