Pizza and Kosher Rolls for a Low-Key Brooklyn Date
Share a pie or order separately, with Mediterranean dishes and poke bowls broadening the choices. Salads and sandwiches connect the menus, while contrasting weekly schedules put the emphasis on a daytime meal for two.
Thirteenth and Twelfth Avenues
A Pizzeria With Weekend Limits
Benny's Famous Pizza serves pizza, sandwiches, salads and Mediterranean dishes in Brooklyn. Two diners can share a pie or choose separate sandwiches. Inside, rows of wooden tables provide seating beyond the glass display counter. The restaurant is closed on Saturdays. Friday hours are 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM. Sunday hours are 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM. Monday through Thursday hours are 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
The Kosher Counter on Twelfth Avenue
Kosher sushi and poke bowls share the menu at Crunch On 12 Sushi. A daily egg-and-cheese bagel special adds a breakfast option. Packaged rolls sit in a refrigerated display. The restaurant closes at 5:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and at 3:00 PM on Friday. Saturday hours run from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, its only evening opening. Reviews flag inconsistent sushi portions and ingredient ratios.
A Matter of Appetite
Benny's Famous Pizza builds its menu around pizza and Mediterranean dishes, while Crunch On 12 Sushi pairs kosher sushi and poke bowls with breakfast bagels. Both also offer salads and sandwiches, giving the pairing more common ground than its headline dishes suggest. For two diners, a pie to share or separate sandwiches are options at the first stop. The second adds a daily egg-and-cheese bagel special, broadening the comparison beyond pizzas and rolls.
