The Famous House of Pizza & Calzone
4.5 (660)restaurant
Get a taste of old-school Brooklyn at this cozy joint, known for its deep-fried calzones and classic thin-crust pies.
Description




Beyond the standard pies, the kitchen turns out made-to-order zeppole and arancini and a well-regarded grandma slice that holds its own even at the tail end of a neighborhood food tour. Options also include the Primadonna pizza, meatballs, and square slices with hot honey pepperoni. While the traditional supreme pizza gets mixed reviews, these specialty items consistently deliver. Those not ordering takeout can bypass the busy front counter to use a private seating area in the back.
