L&B Spumoni Gardens

Finally got here and it was worth it. Have a spacious outdoor. More importantly the square pizza - the sauce stood out along with the crust (crusty out and soft on the inside). By far the best in nyc.

Parking can be a pain, but it's so worth it! Best pizza in New York. I drive over an hour for a slice! Be sure you get some Spumoni on the way out! No matter how full you are, there's always room

Sprawled out over multiple buildings, Brooklyn's most famous Italian-American dining complex is part ice cream parlor , part pizzeria , with a broader Italian restaurant thrown in for good measure.

I'm typically not a big fan of Sicilian style but it's definitely the way to go here. Also suggest starting with the pear salad which is fresh and perfectly seasoned. Enjoy!

With a huge collection of picnic tables , some exposed to the elements and others in a tented pavilion, L & B (founded in 1939 in Gravesend) offers three eateries to choose from. Read more

Not as great as I remembered from the last time I was here, but still pretty damn good, and of course it’s unique. Get the plain squares, no toppings necessary.

Right when you think it’s all about the square slice at the place named after gelato (spumoni), you try their delicious chicken piccata with fresh veggies in garlic oil ~ and need to try more!

The L & B square slice has a dense, slightly sweet crust that's faintly reminiscent of a biscuit . The dough is first topped with mozzarella then tomato sauce and a thin layer of Pecorino-Romano. Read more

Sure, the namesake spumoni at L&B Spumoni Gardens is top-notch, but devotees of the softer stuff know to ask for the pitch-perfect creamsicle twist, served only in summer. Read more

The pizza is a real-deal. One of the best I’ve ever had. Authentic Brooklyn-style vibe. Get a square from Sicilian classic! A must have

Love this square. Dense crust. Somewhat sweet. Nice crunch. Upside down...cheese first, sauce on top....and some pecorino Romano cheese sprinkled over it.

Even when I dine in, I never leave without at least two pies (or a "full tray" as it's properly called) to bring home for family and friends. L&B square is the best pizza you'll ever have. Guaranteed.

Food is delicious. I ordered potato croquettes , pasta primavera, pasta with eggplant and mushroom , and salad . I enjoyed every bit of it

We had a great time. The wait was long but we started with a half pizza outside then moved over to dinner . Baked clams and chicken pram were awesome. Don't miss the Spumoni

I used to sit inside and eat a grape nut salad .. to die for and then i tried the square.. Yummy! Now I'm obsessed owner gave me a card it said chefs table & I hear its a great experience! Can't wait!

L&B's Sicilian slice reverses the standard tomato-cheese order, placing the mozzarella directly on the dough and the sweet/tart sauce on top, along with a handful of grated Pecorino .

L&B was founded in 1939 by Ludovico Barbati. $2.50 per Round (regular) or delicioso Square (Sicilian ) slice. Toppings for pies only. No cc min. Pistachio Spumoni is good. Yes parking . Outdoor seating .

The square slice is fantastic, but the round is delicious as well . Make sure to save room for some spumoni!

The cheese is under the sauce on their famous Sicilian style pizza . That lets the cheese really melt into the bread . It's perfect.

Yes, it may be overrated but still the best!!! Some of us have 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70 years of memories coming here. The pizza is very good and the ambiance is one of a kind. It's addictive. ❤❤❤❤

Brooklyn's premier sicilian slice . The dough consistency is perfect! When discussing toppings, the waiter leans in and tells us in perfect Brooklyn, "ya don't wanna spoil it"

Fewer scenarios scream summer like upside-down Sicilian sheet pizza and a spumoni at this Brooklyn legend. Read more

The best Sicilian pizza anywhere. Order a whole or 1/2 tray and save room for a rainbow spumoni for dessert .

Family owned for 70 years! Well worth the drive or the train ride out. The sicilian squares are the way to go. Huge squares! Sit out side & order at their counter - every laid back and a perfect summe

They have the best sicilian slices in New York! And their desserts (icecream and ices ) are flavorful. Their signature desserts are the creamcicle and spumoni.

L&B isn't exactly a tourist spot so much as a spectacular pizza restaurant , so expect a good mix of locals and out-of-towners when you bring your own family by. Read more

More like an amusement park than a restaurant , 3 conjoined eateries offer good Sicilian pizza , stupendous spumoni, and uneven southern Italian fare-go for anything featuring eggplant or ricotta . Read more

Pizza is good and that linguine with lobster and mix of fish plater for 30 bucks cant go wrong feeds 3 people place is still on point dont care what anyone says♡

Try the rigatoni with sausage and broccoli rabe . You won’t be disappointed!

The sausage & pepper roll is amazing! The spumoni is worth a try too. Also, sitting outdoors is more fun than being inside (also cheaper).

Tried square pizza . Dough is really good. A lot of marinara sauce(tastes good) - won't be back. Huge line . And it's to try once.

Chances are you know this already, but if you're a noob to L&B, the square slices (or pies) are a must! Finish it off with pistachio spumoni. Read more

Possibly the best Sicilian slice and the regular slices have that coal oven taste! A great New York slice! Service is exceptional too!

"If you wanna have a New York pizza , you gotta go out to L&B. I only get the square Sicilian pie — I usually go plain or I go eggplant ." - Mario Batali Read more

Everything is great here--food service, and atmosphere. I enjoyed pizza , baked ziti , and a dessert platter. It was all amazing!

You can’t get better than their square slices . Than go for the spumoni. You won’t regret it

A Brooklyn staple, when you rate NY pizza you bypass this and DiFara's and then start, this is a whole different echelon of slice

The soft dough of the crust is what makes this pizza amazing! Get the squares you wont regret it.

Get the square slice . It's the best slice of pizza in NYC. Then, get the spumoni. You are welcome.

I'm not a fan. The ingredients are good. It's my wife's favorite sheet. Everyone I know loves their sicilian . It tastes too much like desert , like a layer cake . I'd take Armando's in Canarsie.

If you want square that literally melts in your mouth Not to mention look at the pic “you can’t turn down the dessert ”!

Get the square pizza ! The sauce is just plain perfect. Crispy thick crust. Also, the service is amazing. A really great neighborhood place .

Place is classic Brooklyn - the decor, the staff , the patrons. The pizza is amazing - sweet and saucey. Finish with a Spumoni for desert .

Everything is excellent, the vodka sauce with vermicelli is VERY recommended! Square pie is unusual and worth a try too.

Of course, you have to go for the square, followed by some spumoni (rainbow, which is chocolate , pistachio , and creamalotta together, I think).

Its sloppy, its quick its Squares L&B style. Dough , cheese then sauce, great taste expect a wait on hot Brooklyn nights then get a spumoni ice cream to cool off. A Bensonhurst tradition

Sicilian eggplant over ziti is to die for

Easily the best Sicilian slice I've had in a long time. But still get the 1&1, Round regular & square Sicilian . Finish w the namesake Spumoni icees. Yum & done.

Don't go to the fancy restaurant part. Just grab a couple of squares and enjoy the picnic tables out front. Save some room for spumonis, duh!

The square pizza , with toppings or plain, is worth an hour long subway ride! The spumoni was interesting to try, but you just need to split one for a taste.
