Awesome!! Nice thin crust, great sauce. We ordered take out of two large pizzas, pepperoni and cheese. We will definitely come back.. big size, great price.
I was a bit disappointed with my meal. I had two square and two round slices. I found the square sauces too saucy and not enough cheese. The round slice in my opinion rated better. To finish my meal I had done rainbow Spumoni. It was just okay. I think this place is not what it used to be.
While the taste is fresh in my mouth I can say that this place deserves the 2k plus reviews of 4 solid stars. My husband and I both had slices 1 regular and 1 Sicilian each. It seems that they're known for their Sicilian slices and rightfully so. Each bite was tasty filled with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. The regular slice was great tasting too. I will be back hopefully soon for another delectable lunch/dinner.
Came to L & B Spumoni Gardens for the first time on the day before the 4th of July. It was a decently warm day so we opted to sit inside. There is ample seating outside and inside as well.
Nothing fancy about the inside. Plenty of servers that are always helping you and seeing how things are. Had the fried calamari and fried zucchini sticks for the appetizer. I must say, their marinara sauce for dipping is pretty tasty. So were the zucchini sticks, which were matchstick thin. The calamari was okay. Nothing special. The flour they used to dredge the calamari was petty bland. They didn't throw any salt or pepper in it. For the main course I got the Eggplant Sicilian. Which is basically a few pieces of eggplant parmesan thrown on top of ziti. It came as a huge portion and was very tasty. Again, nothing to blow my socks off, but it was good. Portions here are huge so you'll definitely be brown bagging left overs home. Two people at my table were served their entrees at the same time and the other took about another 15-20 minutes to be served. I found that odd since that other person ordered something much simpler than us. Just a slice and a chicken hero. Another thing that irked me is that I ordered an unsweetened iced tea and they brought me out a bottle of Pure Leaf tea. Hmm…okay. For dessert I got the vanilla spumoni in a small cup. What they gave me was vanilla spumoni in a cone. Ugh. It was creamy and refreshing. Good, but it didn't blow me away.
The prices are reasonable and I would come back again and try the pizza. I'm not in a rush to come back but I would make the trek out. The majority of the food was tasty.
P.S. The bathrooms are really tiny!
L & B will always be one of my favorite pizzerias in Brooklyn. You can sit outside on a nice summer day or you can actually have a sit inside the restaurant. Majority of the time when I come with friends in the summer we get squares and some ice after.
The squares aren't too thick and just right with lots of sauce and than some cheese sprinkled on top that just melts into the sauce and taste so good.
The regular slice is just regular nothing special about them. I never usually get those.
One of my favorite from the restaurant is there vodka sauce. It is so tasteful and good. Some places make it and it just taste so bland but there's is amazing and you can really taste the sauce. If you get it with pasta it's a big portion so if you don't eat a lot you can share it.
Also I can't forget about there chicken parm. Hero. They give such big pieces of chicken that are so tender and with the sauce it just gives it such flavor. Than you also can't forget about the melted mozzarella on top to top it. It's also pretty big and filling.
I have been coming here for years and will continue coming here.
Delicious, thin crust, NY pizza & Italian ice, a Brooklyn classic. Honestly, what's much better in life?! They have tons of outdoor seating open in the summer and a window (just like an icecream parlor) you can order slices, pies, and icecream. There's also an option to sit inside and order dinner if you please. A large pie was under $15. They have tons of Italian ice flavors, peach being my favorite. I got peach Italian ice with soft serve vanilla on top in a bowl. Too good. And the pizza did not disappoint one bit.
There's a small lot to park but plenty of street parking. YOU SAY YOU'RE A NEW YORKER BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN TO SPUMONI GARDENS?!! FUHGEDDABOUTIT!!!!!
This was a fun experience. Located close to the subway it's not difficult to get to. I'm not familiar with the popularity of this place, but I was told to get "squares by the slice".. And that's what you're supposed to get.. It was delicious but there's no meat haha. I wouldn't count it as a full meal but a fantastic snack. I loved the casual outdoor seating..
You'll never try every pizza place in the state of New York. But you really don't have to, as there are plenty of classic and essential ones, such as this incredible dining option, that will leave you wanting it over and over again.
L&B has been nestled in Gravesend, Brooklyn for over 75 years and last night I took my first trip there (and definitely not my last!). It was unfortunate timing with one of the owners having been fatally lost only days prior, but that didn't stop the droves of people coming out on a summer evening for some quality pizza and dessert. Summer months seem to be key as the set up is like some pizza Garden of Eden. Enter the gates and to your right are rows of outdoor tables as well as the indoor restaurant section. Straight ahead are your two windows of choosing: Pizzeria and Spumoni.
Starting off with pizza you can choose a regular triangle slice, but the real amazingness comes from the Sicilian style pizza. It's somewhat upside down as the cheese is layered on first, followed by the sauce, and then a sprinkle of pecorino Romano to top it off. Get a single slice for dirt cheap, or go for a half or full pie's worth depending on how many people you're with. I came with two others so we feared a 12 slice half pie and instead went with three slices each (a perfect amount in the end). The pizza was ready in a heartbeat and I feel like it was gone by my very next one.
Oh pizza gods you have bestowed L&B with some truly amazing pizza. The bottom/crust of the Sicilian slice is crunchy while the dough has a wonderful softness to it. The mozzarella cheese was gooey and melted to perfection, but what takes the cake (or pie) is the sweet sauce and the sprinkle of Romano cheese on top. It brings the slice altogether for some pizza that is worthy of moving to Brooklyn so you can experience it daily.
But wait! There's more! Spumoni! Ordered from the window with the same name as the treat, this frozen delight can be devoured in one of three flavors (vanilla, chocolate, or pistachio) or an odd-colored rainbow of all three. I didn't properly do my "homework" as we only ordered a straight vanilla (rainbow seemed like the way to go around us) but even so, the taste was creamy with bits of nuts and a hint of what seemed like cinnamon. It was a meal that I will be dreaming about until I return, which if you haven't figured out, is going to happen for sure!
