J & V Pizzeria

My son moved to this neighborhood. When we visited last time we had a round pie. Excellent. He has had several more pies since. This visit we had the round and square. Both great. Square is a heavy, crispy pie. I was very impresses. Crust was well done with a great bite. Not too doughy. The round was a NY thin with a great crisp as well. Not much flop, which I like. Great pizza.

This is the pizza shop of my wonderful Brooklyn childhood. I fondly remember grabbing a slice for $1.50 (yes I am very old) after a long subway ride. The pizza is super fresh, thin yet strong to hold summery tomato sauce and cheese, crispy crust and bottom, large enough to fold and just simply served on wax paper on a fluted paper plate. The staff is always friendly and love seeing Vito in the back rapidly massaging dough into flexible, relaxing rounds ready for a tomato swirl. My favorites include the regular cheese slice, margherita slice, and spinach roll with a side of marinara. My family loves the chicken jo jo. I can’t wait to try to eggplant jo jo. Pictured here are the whole pies. My cousin wanted a supreme with sausage, peppers and onions which was really good but I am definitely a purist. Love this pizzeria and don’t ever change!
