A smash classic. If you are on the LIE you better stop here and grab a classic slice and a brothers special. Yum This is the old school New York City pizza joint. Super friendly staff. Was really awesome to sit at the counter and talk about pizza history. Ordered a brother’s special pie. While I was sitting I did order a classic slice. The sauce was so delicious. The cheese was the perfect amount. The fold man o man. You have to fold this one. I took a photo of the Brothers special before it went into the oven. Wow I sat at the bar and just took in the heavenly aroma. Brother’s special pie comes with sausage, red peppers, mushrooms, pepperoni, onions, and meatball. All in all this is the place you want to get a slice at. The pictures don’t do justice to the FLAVOR. classic decor and good hospitable New York workers.

Had previous eaten 2x at this local pizza place. I heard about it from a neighbor but since its not near the house, i never go there. The last 2 times we had just plain pizza by the slice, this time we ordered a large pie with mushroom and sausage. The sausage is sliced into small rounds and it slicex very thin, the mushrooms were in every crevice of the pie so the pie was loaded with the 2 toppings. I called ahead of time and within 20 minutes i drove to pick it up. We are excited that we found a new Pizza place since Gino and Villa rustica are 5 mins away from my house but their pizza quality had gone down. Thankfully, we have a new pizza spot and we cannot wait to try the rest of the menu. I love the pizza because they manage to make the dough thin, the sauce has a nice ting and it ia very flavorful. Just perfect pizza every time. Seems to be a husband and wife team that run the place.

I know I'm going to take grief for this one but I didn't find this place to appealing . I liked that the place appeared like it hasn't been remodeled in since the 80s . It had an old school vintage appearance . So i checked online and found out that this place is the number one rated slice in NYC. Being a big pizza lover that title comes with a lot of respect and pressure to keep it up . I ordered a plain cheese slice and it wasn't anything crazy . The sauce and the cheese are what makes a pizza and quite frankly both were just as about average as I've ever had . I wouldn't come back after the heart break. The worse part about this experience was that I asked for a take home slice and the guy serving me was being so lazy that he asked if I wanted it heated because it made no sense for him to heat it . Unbelievable !!!

  • David Manz

Quintessential New York pizzaria full of friendly banter and pride in their craft. I heard a customer come in and ask if Brothers had the best pizza in the neighborhood. The reply, "I don't know about the rest of the neighborhood but we're the best on this block". (Just imagine that with a fast spoken heavy NY accent). My wife had a delicious salad and we split the "Brothers Special" pie which is loaded with everything except anchovies and pineapple. (Meatball, mushrooms, sausage, roasted red pepper, onion, pepperoni and minced garlic in oil.) Each slice was thin crust with light sauce and large in flavor. Don't miss this if you're in the area! Thanks Brothers from your Houston friends!

  • Marcos

My favorite local pizzeria. If you grew up in Queens then this place will definitely give you nostalgia with the decor and counter seating. The inside will seldomly get a little crowded with students or a kids baseball team but the service is still quick and I’ve never had trouble finding a seat. The food is amazing. Pizza, chicken parm, or the sausage/peppers are my usual orders. Been going here almost 15 years

I ordered a large cheese half mushroom pie last night from Brothers Pizza. I like my pizza crust on the lighter side & this pie was over baked for me. I called Brothers, they were so nice, listened to my concern and delivered a fresh pie within 20 minutes, that was PERFECT! (same delivery person, sweet, kind, apologetic) 5 minutes after the pie was delivered, Brothers called to follow up. The pizza was great, the customer service outstanding! Thank you Brothers Pizza for providing quality service, your customers appreciate it!

This is probably the BEST PIZZA in NY. Everyone in NY says they have a GREAT pizza place, but most don't know about how good NYC Pizza used to be like 30 years ago. This place has REAL NYC PIZZA. THE way NYC Pizza always was 30+ years ago. Nowadays most Pizza places are just horrible, i don't understand why. This place is just AWESOME. They also make their calzones FRESH. Unlike most Pizza places that have them sitting around for weeks until someone orders one, and they reheat it and serve.

Let me first say thank you brothers for delivering out of the normal range of delivery. The pizza was exactly how I asked it to be made and really was one of the best pizzas i’ve had in a long time. I asked for extra sauce light cheese and a little well done. Wow I already ate the entire pie and I just got it 15 min ago. I’ve been going to brothers for A good 15 years or more. They are the best and only great pizza left in Flushing / Fresh Meadows area. Thanks again for the great food and Happy Mother’s Day weekend to my Brothers !

  • Taj Baichan

Ordered through Uber Eats. Pizza arrived with no seal on the box and the box half way open. Can’t blame the delivery person because the pizza was too large for the box. To make matters worse the pizza was undercooked and soggy. Even the sausage and meatballs were undercooked. We had to place the entire pizza in the oven at 400 degrees for 1/2 hour—that’s how undercooked the pizza was. In the past year this is the first food delivery we’ve received that wasn’t sealed. First and last time ordering from this place.

  • Lauren Pascarella

Fantastic food. Wonderful owner and attentive staff. Delicious. We ordered home made minestrone, antipasta salad, chicken parm, ziti, spaghetti, Italian sausage and peppers. Would come again a million times if we could.

  • Jorge Mahecha

This is about the cheese pizza pie with vegetables: it seems like they carelessly pile up a lot of uncooked and old raw onions, excessive and raw garlic, canned mushrooms and old broccoli on top a regular pizza The result: a completely unpleasant, gross looking pizza with a horrible taste and after taste that lasts for hours. Take a look at the completely white raw onion, the spoonfuls of raw garlic in just a section of one of the slices, and the unmistakable look of canned mushrooms.

  • M G

Old school classic pizza spot. first time visiting and won't be my last. I got the pepperoni pie. Love the thin crust. I read some complaints about it, so i was concerned. It's tasty and perfect. Fold it like a NYer! You'll be fine. Sauce was tasty. Everyone was nice and friendly, even though i messed up their napkin holder (oops) thanks for the laugh. Great way to end my work day.

Arguably the best pizza in Queens. Definitely the best chicken rolls in Queens. Every roll is fresh made to order so it takes some time but its worth it. If you like old school they give off that old school mom and pop vibe which jives well with me given many of the pizza spots in Queens have a factory assembly line you're in and out feel. Definitely recommend it to anyone that is into trying all of the cities famous pizzerias.

  • Mike L

Decent pizza, not great. Especially on their Monday $9.99 pies, they're extremely stingy on the cheese. Like less than frozen Totinos. Parking is horrible. I'll sometimes have to go around the block 6 or 7 times before I get pissed and park in the lot down the street. Sometimes I wonder why I even keep going here. Its because then I don't have to decide what to eat on Mondays, and deciding is the worst part of dinner.

  • Jasmin Whitehead

Really good! Sauce was delicious and the crust was thin but had substance. And being able to see them making everything was super cool. Overall, it seems like a nice neighborhood place and you can tell that they have a connection to their community because they were carrying on a conversation with a couple people at the bar and they were very friendly towards us, obvious tourists. We definitely will be coming back.

  • Jonathan Cung

Awesome neighborhood pizzeria, while I wouldn't call it the best slice in New York the quality and taste is up there. If you happen to be around the Fresh Meadows area be sure to stop by for a slice. This pizzeria can get busy around the afternoons on weekdays as they run specials for students from nearby high schools. Owner and staff are always friendly and helpful. Glad to give them my business anytime.

  • Daniel Melendez

Been ordering pizza from this pizzeria for the last 18 months. While i live on the neighborhood for 12 years, i found out about their delicious pizza because of a friend. I can only tell you their pizza is cheesee, great sauce and they have a monday night special for $9.99 for a plain pie. They are generous with the toppings. We usually get mushroom and sausage and its an excellent combo.

  • Bryan Regis

Great pizza, great service, love this place....... I go as often as I can..... great prices as well! I don't live in the area, but anytime I pass by Brothers on the L.I.E. I have to stop for a slice or more......

  • Dan Lee

Good pizza but when I arrived and asked if it was cash only and the dude explicitly said I can use card if we spend $10 or more. We spend $18 and try to pay and he says sorry, no cards. House rules. That wouldn't have been a huge deal since there was an ATM down the street but we ordered a lot more than we wanted so we could use the card and avoid an ATM fee.

  • Adam Sherman

Classic solid pizza joint near the Hampton Jitney stop in Queens. I asked for a grandma slice and they made it homemade just one slice instead of making me a whole pie really good pasta with broccoli and garlic and olive oil solid pizzas and great Italian ices. Definitely a must if you need real NY pizza.

  • Joseph Lanzarotta

This has your standard New York slice pretty good slice could use a little more sauce and a little more crisp however the crust had good crisp which was good. The Sicilian slice was a little too thick for my liking amount of cheese was perfect just needed more sauce as well will try the grandma slice next time but overall good spot

Cheese Pizza Pie

  • Craig Hayward, Ph.D.

Shared a pizza with my brother, ate outside in the little structure they built in the street out front. The pizza was delicious! We had half sausage and red bell peppers, half plain cheese. Doesn't get much better. The guys behind the counter were friendly and personable. A legit 5-star pizzeria!

  • J Chase

Decent pizza. Could've been a fluke, but my pie's crust was soggy and thin. Definitely too much tomato sauce. Speaking of which, the tomato sauce was just ok—not sweet or salty enough for my taste. I'm being picky, I know, but I know what I like. I'd eat here again, just not a first choice.

  • Chris Albanese

This place was a really surprisingly good pizza spot. It doesn't look like much from the outside, and is in a very random location, but the pizza was killer. They only do round and Sicilian - no toppings, but they do it fantastically. So far my favorite pizza place in Queens.

  • Anna Dennery Rodriguez

Cash only. Simple & classic pizza recipe that the two brothers started when they first opened. Thin crust that's crunchy and pizza that's juicy with flavor. Fun fact: The pizza is bigger then the box it comes in! Definitely worth every penny. $14 for a plain and $2 toppings.

  • Melinda Carrion

Brothers Pizza, is absolutely an old school pizza spot with the best pizza. If you want to cinch that craving, this is where to get your pizza. The pizza is crispy on the bottom, and perfectly cheesy on top, I can have slice after slice and still want more.

  • Jenda Wu

This review is just for the garlic knots and the regular slices. I am giving it a solid four out of five stars. The garlic knots however are probably best I ever tasted. They were firm and moist and Not dried out. so definitely 4.5 stars on these here knots

  • Johnny Caceda

Been goin here for over 25yrs!! Best Pizza in Queens! Try the Beef patty with pepperoni and cheese…it’s delicious!!! The staff is incredibly helpful and courteous. Pizza is always fresh and tasty! Recommend this spot to anybody looking for a tasteful pizza

  • Julia Parisi

This place, yammy...best pizza in Queens for sure, no doubt about it! One of the best pizzas I ever had, honestly! Also ... Alec Baldwin is a visitor in here , he loves it too! Out of all pizza places, pick this one, I guarantee the best pizza and more ..

  • christopher gutierrez

Pizza so thin I could see through it. They must have won Guiness world record with it. Even the Domino's Thin Crust is 12 layers thicker than this. If you want real NYC pizza this place ain't it. Highly do not recommend I dunno why it has 4.6 stars.

  • Gary Wilson

Small slice for $3.25. A little heavy on the oregano, but has a flavorful sauce. Thin, crispy , chewy crust with good flavor. Skimps overall on cheese, and, it's somewhat undercooked.. Too much crust left uncovered. I'll give it an 85 rating.

  • Juan Lima

Walked passed and discovered this very affordable pizza joint in Fresh Meadows, Queens. You can get a pizza with a topping for under twenty before tax. Tried takeout for the first time and it was very good! Good stringy cheese, very thin

  • Ashiful Islam (Ashtheblunt425)

Baked ziti was bland pasta with decent sauce. Pizza was good, maybe, but it tasted like there was soap. This might be because the guy making it didn't adequately rinse his hands of soap (I watched him wash his hands several times).

The staff is nice. I went in with a group of 6 (2 adults and 4 children) and decided to buy two cheese pies. The pizza is not too thick but yet has a really nice chrunch. Only 1 slice was left. I would visit again.
