Description
Originally opened by Frank Fontana Sr. in 1964, this Brooklyn fixture is now run by his sons, Sal and Frank Jr., who keep their father's old-world Italian recipes in steady rotation. The signature Sicilian slices offer a masterclass in balance: a light, crispy crust topped with a basil-hinted marinara and premium Grande Cheese—a point of pride commemorated on the wall. Beyond the pies, the menu features a wide variety of rolls and neighborhood-favorite garlic knots. The vibe is warm and familiar, offering quick service and outdoor seating for summer lunches. Just plan ahead: this is a classic cash-only operation.
