William KilljoyJune 11, 2013Pies, and Calzones, wine and Beer, thats it, Pies come out fast, and are one of the best in the NY area, they're also pricey, $26 for the base, $3-4 per topping. Cash Only, Open kitchen style. Old NY
Really great pizza, top 3 I've had in the city. And you can go on Saturday night at 7 with two people and not have to wait.
Irena PierovaJanuary 22, 2022This is the one of that kind of places which make ppls say: “bklyn pizza is the best!”. Vibe inside, taste, staff… Everything! Don’t skip the dessert with riccota and nutella!
Adam KurzawaJune 20, 2013Everyone has their fave Brooklyn pizza spot. Giuseppina's is my gold standard. Simple but perfect menu. Opt for the cheese pie, bottle of Barbera and the sausage calzone for a change of pace. Bliss!
N. S.December 7, 2018The sister restaurant of Lucali in Carrol Gardens, the pizza here is identical and costs the same, though without the charm and atmosphere of its predecessor. Still nice, but lacking that extra oomph.
GothamistJune 6, 2012Pro tip: They only do two things but my oh my do they do them well. Really, don't overlook the calzone! They also offer cheap wine by the glass, but note, it's cash only.
Shallots and spicy sausage + garlic and basil. Or a calzone + truffle oil (it needs nothing more!). Love love this place- FDITTIENovember 24, 2012By far the best calzone I have ever had, I did a small artichoke with garlic and was amazing. The pizza was good as well, cannot wait to return.
AskMenFebruary 24, 2011Pie guru Mark Lacono's younger brother Chris is opening Giuseppina with the same brick oven thin crusters, a tight menu of salads and desserts and a beer/wine list soon as the license floats.
Alex HeathOctober 30, 2016The owner is brothers with owner of Lucali. Pizza is basically the same. Not BYOB but cheap drinks. No wait on a Saturday night with is unheard of at Lucali. Definitely a hidden gem.
FunesSeptember 7, 2015Best pie this side of Brooklyn. Thin and crusty and cooked to perfection. Consistently perfect.
Elizabeth MitchellFebruary 17, 2014Excellent pizza. Dessert calzone was delicious. Very family friendly. Go early if you don't want to wait.
Anthony TMay 24, 2014Everything is great! Get a pie with shallots and mushrooms! And a calzone with sausage!
Erin GriffithAugust 15, 2014Love the family the runs this place. Monday nights they do a half price wine special.
Jason ChabakNovember 17, 2013This pizza is expensive, but incredible. The ingredients are top-notch, and I'll be coming back again and again.
BrittaneySeptember 17, 2012One of the best pizza places in Brooklyn. House red wine is cheap and delicious. Good date spot too.
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try pizzaiolo Chris Iacono’s artisinal margherita pie, blistered in a hand-built, wood-fired oven. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more
Elizabeth IrizSeptember 15, 2015You'll never want a calzone anywhere else after you have one here. Yep, it's that good!
- To do it right: pepperoni and shallots plus the complimentary garlic and basil.
Jackie ClarkJuly 16, 2011Incredible. Small calzone w garlic and artichoke hearts. Life alteringly delicious
Emily NussbaumMarch 12, 2011Delicious pizza. Laid back, good lighting. No salad yet, but I hope that comes eventually.
Tully DangerMarch 17, 2011Sad wine portions. Soggy crust. They do roll out the dough with the wine bottles!
Be forewarned! Cash only and the ATM across the street has a $60 withdrawal limit.
