After a relatively shakey start, Lenny's has blossomed into one of the more stellar pizza joints in Sunnyside. With plenty of pizza competition throughout Greenpoint Ave, Lenny's has managed to stand out by offering some of the hood's heartiest slices / pies while remaining reasonably priced and tasty.
When I first had their regular pie, the cheese was practically falling off the slices. The crust was burnt but the sauce was solid. A first glimpse of the now defunct Taco pizza (thank goodness), was a disaster. The pie was not only heavy and messy, but it the beef was completely unseasoned and the fixins were so bland that my group of pizza lovers and I actually didn't bother with more than half the pizza left. On top of that, the delivery was ridiculously slow and the website was hideous.
Now more than a year into their existence and they've come full circle. The website is much better, delivery is fairly quick, and they've managed to turn their place into a regular haunt for many Greenpoint goers. Their slices when fresh out of the oven are decent and they've done away with the odd specialty pizzas and stuck to the simple stuff. Unlike most of the takeout pizza joints in the area, Lenny's offers quite a few tables for in-dining and has taken some consideration into their presentation with pasta dishes and pies.
Not sure where to start? I recommend the vegan nightmares pie (i.e. meat lovers), a hearty pie that has no skimpage of meats featuring army of pepperoni, bacon, and sausage bits. Another popular one is their buffalo pizza, which is decorated with ample chunks of chicken and a nice drizzle of blue cheese around the pie. Kind of crazy in theory, but delicious in reality.
I am hope they continue to do well. There is some service snafus from time to time, but I know the staff usually means well. I hope they don't succumb to the rising price tags happening all over the pizza joints but for now they get a 4 from yours truly.
Sometimes if you purchase the pizza by the slice, it can be stale.
If it's fresh, it's great though.
i've only ordered via Seamless from them Their pizza is just ok. Their crusts are not that crispy and sometimes too dry. Garlic knots are not bad but not the best. But their delivery takes more than hour which can be annoying when you're starving.
Why did this pizza despising lactose intolerant Yelp reviewer step inside a Pizza shop? For pasta. Lenny's Pizza is the first pasta shop to show up on the radar located in the awkward 6 way cross street of Greenpoint and 44th. By far the best pasta I have discovered in Queens.
As soon as I entered, the cashier warmly greeted me and directed me to the menus against the wall. The menu is quite extensive with variety of pizza's, pastas, and Italian food, quite overwhelming at first glace.
I ordered a small (large available) linguine with clams in white sauce, my favorite of pastas. The cashier asked me to sit anywhere I'd like and after 5 minutes, delivered the food directly to me. This place is not fast food nor a restaurant, but provides fantastic service!
The linguine with clams was elegantly presented with fine linguine in the center sprinkled with sliced clam bites and six little neck clams surrounding the perimeter of the dish all emerged in white clam sauce blended in olive oil. Also served was two pieces of freshly baked garlic bread and one soft bun.
Slurping on the noodles and dipping the bread in the white clam sauce rendered total satisfaction. The finest of pasta was devoured here for the fraction of the price for this dish at another restaurant. Lenny's Pizza is truly an undiscovered hidden gem in the heart of Sunnyside and I will be returning!
