Brand new store, reopened around New Year's across the street from the old location.
Looks really nice inside, and the owner and staff are so friendly and really good people.
My business partner can't have cheese and they made him his own 4 square grandma pizza w/o cheese and some really great sauce. The slices and choices are plentiful and the prices are great as is the food.
It is really clean.
$5 can go a long way in here.
2 slices & a Arizona or a snapple.
5 pepperoni pinwheels.
Or any combination of the above.
(That's what I usually get)
I haven't tried anything else on the menu as of yet.
I usually get my food to go because it's hard to have a full meal while you're trying to get your hair done.
They have free parking behind the restaurant.
Awesome! Sunny John's moved across the street but still has private parking! It's located in the back, entrance on E. 54th Street. Everything else is the same… same great service from really nice guys… same good food, especially the sauce… clean and homey-feeling.
I have been eating this pizza since I was 5 years old, and as far as I'm concerned this epitomizes great pizza for me. The sauce is perfectly flavored, not sweet like at so many other places and with a nice tomato punch. The cheese is great, and maybe it's not fresh mozzarella, but nostalgia will always make me love it more than anything fancy. The crust is where they really get it right though: thin, and if you eat it soon after it's pulled from the oven, crispy and savory to contrast perfectly with the gooey cheese and sauce melding on top. Toppings aren't a strength here, but that's all right because a plain slice is so delicious all on its own.
I'm also a fan of their calzones; they're nothing particularly unique but how can you dislike a burst if mozzarella and ricotta cheese oozing out of a perfectly browned pocket of crust? Their garlic knots are my favorites of any I've ever tried, and people tend to agree with me; we go anywhere else, and we always measure by the Sunny and John standard (the best we've been able to say is "pretty good, but not as good as S&J"). I haven't had any of their square slices in a while, and I know I should, but usually I get distracted by everything I've already described, and sometimes also their spinach rolls. Dipped in a to-order cup of marinara sauce, and sometimes a spinach roll is just what I need to give me the hit of green that I'm craving.
Sunny John's is a South Brooklyn hidden gem that beats overrated Di Fara's ANY DAY.
Pizza here is darn good–fresh, hot, with plenty of cheese, and not too much sauce. I think the key is using really good cheese (cheapo stuff has no flavor). Highly recommend the pepperoni slice. If you are a pepperoni fiend like me, you will be happy to know that is GOOD and they pile. it. ON!
Service is friendly and the restaurant is very clean. They also have this really awesome (ancient!) cash register–look for it!
