Giardini Pizza
Giardini serves a solid squareslice, says Eating for Brooklyn: "It was simple -- unadulterated tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella on a crisp dough. And I really dug it. The crust is thinner than most Sicilian pies giving it a nice crunch, not chew. The sauce is simple and smooth and layered not only on the base but on top of the fresh mozzarella too."
Metromix isn't as big a fan: "Giardini serves average pizzeria fare: slices, ranging from Sicilian to Buffalo chicken, pepperoni rolls and red-sauce pasta dishes. Convenience is the only reason to visit." But Yelper Kat C. calls Giardini the "Best takeout and delivery pizza in Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill. Fast, friendly and the pizza is delicious! Highly recommended." What's your take on this place?

It's obviously not going to compare with Lucali or DiFaro's, but as far as old-school pizza places go, Giardini's isn't bad. It's definitely tastier and fresher than a lot of the slide joints in the hood. We order a "grandma" pie about once a month, and it's always delicious.

excellent pepperoni rolls and very good pizza. the pizzas made to order are much better than the slices.

This is an above-average Brooklyn pizzeria. No, it is not brick-oven, and no, it does not offer wacky whole pizzas with exotic ingredients. But it is an authentic, unpretentious, REAL place. The owner (a Sicilian himself) can also frequently be found playing brioche with friends in the back, a nice throw back to when actual people lived and worked in the neighborhood.

Fine, nothing special. More than once they've served me cold and even *raw* pizza. They have a problem with leaving things in the oven long enough. The pepperoni rolls, spinach rolls, and grandma slices are pretty good.

i've never been in this joint so i don't know how their single slices are, but we get their whole pizzas delivered and really enjoy them. price is reasonable and the pizza itself is really tasty.
