Reviews for Brooklyn New York Pizza and Italian Café in Mesa, AZ

Hidden gem!\nFor being relatively new here, these guys are doing amazing. We came down from north Phoenix with visiting family... to hit the antique shops across the street. We had various pizzas, pastas, salads, and wings. EVERYTHING we had was delicious!We fed 10 really hungry, really good eaters for about $13 per person. The atmosphere is simple diner-like. The food didn\'t needany fancy settings to stand out. Met the owner and he was really nice. I hope this place does well so we can continue to enjoywhen we get back this way. Read more

We read some reviews and decided to give it a try. We were very pleased. We each had the feast and it was so much food. Had... leftovers for later. My husband has the Hawaiian pizza and said it was the best Hawaiian pizza he ever had. I had the supremeand it was delicious. Wait staff was wonderful. We will definitely go back again. Read more

I\'m going to give these guys 5 stars because I want them to succeed! Nice people! They are trying trying hard and the owner is... working his but off to make it happen! The food needs some help. The chicken Alfredo was super runny and barely stuck to thenoodles. The flavor was OK tho. The lasagna was good but it could have been store bought... I couldn\'t tell if it was homemadeor not... we also got the sampler appetizers and everything was from a frozen bad or box and just dropped in to a fryer. All inall it was good but I think they could do better. Expectedly if the were able to find a good cook. Read more

I just have to say... WOW! We both opted for the $8.99 each \"Italian Feast\". Our meal started with a generous house salad... served on a chilled plate, followed by a huge bowl of penne and marinara - so good! We then each got to chose a 10\" pizza, allincluded! Hubby opted for the meat lover\'s and I had the lasagna pizza. Both so yummy! The price increases to $11.29 starting9/5/2022. It will still be worth every penny.\n\nThis little restaurant is cute, clean and the wait staff was awesome. We willbe back. Thank you for a delicious lunch. Read more

I liked how the pizza tasted very fresh with high quality ingredients. The crust had a nice chew to it and lots of parm cheese... sprinkled on top. We also really enjoyed the lemon pepper wings. Definitely get the baked ziti pasta, it was a huge portion andcame with salad and garlic bread. We also appreciated that the food was affordable and the service was prompt and friendly. Wewill be back for sure. Italian New Yorker husband approved. Read more

The gluten-free, cauliflower crust is absolutely delicious ???? best one I have ever had! Glad to see this is an option since my... mom\'s on keto!!\nI, also, enjoyed the alfredo pasta. It\'s the perfect amount of creaminess for me, and I get to dip garlicbread in it!!! Yum! Read more

I was very hopeful when I saw they had opened because I am a fan of New York style pizza. Their sign said they had an all you... can eat lunch special for pizza, pasta and salad, so I thought what a great way to try the selections out.\nUpon entering Idiscovered they had not done any updating of the space from what I assume was its previous tenants. The booths were duct tapedand in bad repair. When I sat in mine, I plunged down and it felt like the fabric was all that kept me from fulling dropping tothe floor.\nThe all you can eat does not allow you a choice of pasta, it has a pasta of the day. Today\'s was penne pasta withmarinara. The sauce was decent, pasta was cooked okay, but nothing stand out.\nThe salad was very basic and came with acontainer that was only a third full of dressing.\nWe came on our lunch hour, and it took 45 minutes for the pizza to come out.We had ordered pepperoni as an easy standard to judge the pizza by. The crust was decent and not over cooked, but the microsized pepperonis had curled like fried hot dogs, not a good sign of quality for the amount of time they had spent in the oven.And the initial analysis proved true, they were gas station quality pepperoni at best.\nYou should not leave a restaurantfeeling your time would have been spent better at Taco Bell. We will not be returning. Read more
