Oh Lenny's how I missed you.
This was my childhood place for pizza in the 80's. The place of my first pre-teen date if you would like TMI.
That being said I suppose it holds a special place in my heart. I hadn't been back in years and was happy to find the pictures of Sylvester Stallone and John Travolta from the Saturday Night Fever days were still on the walls. More importantly the pizza was amazing. Light, thin crust, not too salty, too cheesey or too greasey-JUST right. I could have probably eaten 4 more slices. The sloce was $2.50.
The caprese slice, pepperoni garlic knot, and beef patty were good but the free zeppoles we got with our $10 purchase thanks to Yelp were terrible. They tasted stale and of rancid oil. I saw good reviews on them here so it may just have been given to us since they were free.
If it wasn't for a terrible delivery experience, I would have given Lenny's 4 stars. The food really is delicious and I have a weakness for zeppoles, which they sell (you'd be surprised at how many pizzerias don't, it's kind of ridiculous). If this place was within walking distance to my apartment, I'd be a regular.
That being said, I'm not within walking distance and the delivery sucks. Awhile back, I ordered via Seamless and I remember it taking them longer than the average restaurant to bring my food. But whatever, it happens, and the food was worth it. Last night, I did another Seamless order: penne vodka, sausage and peppers, and two orders of zeppoles. It was confirmed via email that they had received my order. 45 minutes later, I'm looking at the clock as my stomach is growling. I figure, "Okay, it's not that long. Maybe they're really busy." Then an hour goes by… and an hour fifteen. This is when I decided to call. I called twice and both times the phone rang and rang. The third time I called a very impatient sounding worker answered. I explained that I'd placed an order over an hour ago and she said, "Oh, the delivery guy left. He'll be there in a minute."
He was not there in a minute. He showed up 15 minutes later. I'm not sure if there were a zillion deliveries ahead of me or if my food was forgotten after being prepared until I made the phone reminder, but nothing was hot. Lukewarm at best. I still ate it, it was still good, but who wants cold food?
Bottom line: great place to eat, not a great place to have delivered.
Not bad; it i around the corner from my apartment and I absolutely love the convenience of it. There slices are really big, totally worth it. They have a special that is two silces of pizza you get a free can of soda but its 5 dollars…youre definitely paying for the soda somewhere in there lol
Garlic knots are way too oily for me and the zeppolis are okay.
Nice people.
Delicious!
Lenny's has been here for years, maybe decades, but it never fails to satisfy me.
From pepperoni wheels to pizza,their food is just amazing!
My sister recently recommended the Caprese slice and I loveee it! That's the only pie I order now.
If you haven't tried it out, must try it ! 🙂
The pizza is your typical Brooklyn standard pizza. (No it's not that tastes like Italy super delicate pizza) It's the same owners for years now and the pizza is okay. I've been going there for about seven years on and off.
Tips:
-Pizza is good!
-Garlic knots with pepperoni and cheese inside are not worth it.
-YELP DEAL!!! Free Zeppoli with order over ten dollars( but to be honest there not worth it. So oily I left them in a bag on top of my paperwork by accident and the oil went through all of it.
-If your hungry and In the neighborhood grab a slice.
Two slices and a soda for five dollars. Definitely will go back.
I have been coming to this pizza shop (and the Pizza Den on 18th) since my mother worked on 18th Avenue when I was a kid. Not saying what year exactly but I will say that I first tried their
pizza more than 20 years ago – just use your imagination LOL.
I still come here once in a while because in my opinion there's not many places that you can still get good pizza in Brooklyn. Love the garlic knots and especially the plain cheese pizza.
So far I haven't had any issues with the staff and the food still tastes great so I'll keep coming.
Come by here, get two slices, stack em, then strut around like you're John Travolta. It's fun.
I like the food here, but it's nothing special and I find everything to be over priced. I feel like they think that they can charge whatever they want because John Travolta once went there in a movie. They probably can too because it always seems busy and they have obviously been around forever, but I'd rather go some place else.
