Pizza Den was a pretty good stop for a casual meal! The service was absolutely fantastic – super friendly and attentive, which really made the experience. The food was decent, definitely hit the spot for pizza night, but wasn't anything groundbreaking. The atmosphere was okay, not super exciting but perfectly fine. Overall, it's a solid choice, especially if you're looking for great service!

Been going here since I was a teenager in the 90's. Pizza still as good as it was back then. Always stop in here when I need the pizza fix.

Some of the best tasting pizza I've had in a while. Real New York pizza right here! The sauce and cheese are on point!

Food was very good. Pizza has it’s unique crispness that I don’t find in many other pizza places. Crust is not burnt. Can’t go wrong here

Best pizza shop in Brooklyn! Also, one of the last standing.. I have been coming here for over 20 years now, and it's still my favorite. I dont even live in the area anymore, but anytime I need to go to 18th Ave, I get a slice or two. The whole block looks different, give or take, but so glad that Pizza Den is still here. Now my daughter shares the love with me and looks forward to our next trip just to get this pizza.

Great neighborhood spot, ( old school pizza ) if you know you know. The doors opened in 1986 and despite a complete change in the demographic, the doors remain open. Great pizza, full menu and broad range of authentic Italian options available, big potions, open late.

We live close to “Pizza Den”, My son loves pepperoni pizza and buying often. The pizza is delicious, and the staff is nice and friendly.

Best quality cheese and pizza around with same owner that has been there since 80’s. Only people that have a bad experience here are the same people that have a bad experience at home with their own mothers and fathers. If your looking for pizza this is the spot, if your looking for someone to hold your hand then this isn’t it.

Pizza Den - Bay Ridge’s Hidden Gem 🍕 What makes a pizza truly great in Brooklyn? It’s that unmistakable, consistently short-lived burst of flavor that hits your taste buds with every bite. Pizza Den delivers just that and more! This unassuming spot in Bay Ridge is serving up slices that embody the Brooklyn spirit: simple, bold, and unforgettable. The crust is perfectly crispy yet soft in all the right places, and the sauce brings just the right balance of tanginess and sweetness. The pizza here has that magic — it doesn’t linger on your tongue; instead, it compels you to take another bite, and another, until the slice disappears before you know it. That’s how you know it’s the real deal. If you’re ever in the area, Pizza Den is worth the visit. Here’s a snapshot of my slice during a recent train ride, proving you can enjoy good pizza anywhere! 5 stars all the way!

lived in this area and as an italian american who goes out with family a lot can confidently say this is the best pizza in all of brooklyn. If you’re a tourist highly recommend this since lenny’s from saturday night fever closed down but ever since they sold it to a different owner lenny’s wasn’t the same before close. and gus pizza is just a whole mess, this place does justice to what pizza should be in brooklyn and is THE BEST pizza in brooklyn and in my top 10 of new york

An absolute essential if you want to try out the authentic Brooklyn pizza! We inadvertently stumbled across this pizzeria unprecedentedly as we are commuting home. On the outside, one may surmise (opinionatedly judge) that it just look like another shabby pizza place in New York. Our hunger began to feel insuperable so we acceded to order a standard pepperoni pie. It was reasonably priced and I can sense they had a remunerative, auspicious (signs of future success) business going on with the amount of regulars they had. Inside the pizzeria, the interior hosted a quaint interior with multiple seating available. The chef was meticulous throughout the cooking process and took great care into the quality; we were absolutely nonplused by the service! After we received our order, we went home and tried it. It was scrumptious and delightful! The pizza itself was pliable (flexible; able to be bent) and not rock hard compared to nearby chains. To simply truncate and epitomize my wonderful, grandiloquent experience here, it should be everyone's and anyone's intuition to go here for the ultimate Brooklyn pie. The absolute cardinal rule. *SAT VOCABULARY PREPARATION!!*

Excellent thin crust Brooklyn Pizza with good cheese and sauce, very old school. Been going there for years

Amazing pizza, not only are they open late but the pizza is delicious and Jimmy the owner is so kind and hospitable. He know how to keep the pizza flowing so he’s always got a hot fresh pizza coming out but since everyone is ordering 2-3 slices you may have to wait a few min for the next pie to come out but it’s definitely worth the wait. Crispy delicious crust with flavorful yet not too heavy sauce and the perfect amount of cheese. Thank you Jimmy 💜

This is a go to spot right next to the D train, serving late hours with many Italian dishes mainly the pizza here is great. The shop itself is pretty small and tight.

The restaurant is located in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. They prepare Italian cuisine and have late hours. Several tables are available for dining in but there are no servers. Pizza, salads, pasta, heroes, plates, entrees and beverages are available. I ordered a plain cheese pizza pie and chicken marsala with pasta. The food was well-prepared and tasty. Customers receive nice value for their orders. Friendly and helpful staff.

We ordered from this spot several times and this has been our experience (myself & partner)… Pros: Fast local delivery. Never a crowd. Cheap large pizza pies for $16.00 (2021) … Cons: Mozzarella seemed lower quality. Pizza had very little sauce. Crust had no crispy factor, was hard to chew. Pizza did not arrived at our home hot enough. The staff were rude to us. … Conclusion: A fast and cheap last minute pizza spot when we needed a quick meal.

Very poor experience. I’ve been going here at least once a week for over a year, and always pay with card. Their card readers stopped working, as a result my cards declined(I even tried 4 separate ones, credit and debit). I know my cards work as I bought water from the deli on the same block 5 minutes prior. The old guys son told me to get out because I’m wasting his receipt paper, and that I either am trying to steal from him by locking my card or I’m flat out broke and can’t afford $5.00. Absolutely disgusting behavior and most certainly will not be coming back.

Really bad service, yells at for no reason, SHOULD NOT BUY from here, the old man boss is really grumpy and immature. Do not Come here.

Pizza is decent, but the old man needs to chill, if he isn’t happy to serve customers, hire someone else who is happy to work. Being a sarcastic and grumpy owner won’t help with your business. Edit: I gave them another chance, but once again, the old guy still behaves and talks rude to me. No more, I'm never coming back to your business.
