Brooklyn Pizza Co.

Pizza is Excellent! I love a nice stretchy cheese on a pizza. Hot and delicious. They also sell by the slice until 4pm. I would only ask that they try to wipe down the tables more often. It’s a small place and only a few tables. More than 1/2 of them still had crumbs on them from previous customers. But maybe they just finished a rush and did not have a chance to wipe them down yet.

Full disclosure. I'm from Northeast Pennsylvania, grew up in a small town with ten family owned pizza places all good to amazing. When we first moved here a few years ago we struggled to find good to great pizza places. But it's safe to put this on your list. It's good. Just tried it for the first time and it's not my favorite in Wilmington but I would certainly get it from here again. I did order it well done and it came out perfect.

The four stars for the food is for the lasagna, calzone, wings and sausage pizza. The lasagna is some of the best in Wilmington. It is as good or better than the more fancy restaurants in the area. The calzone is delicious. I usually get a ham calzone. The wings are big and the honey BBQ is very tasty. The sausage they use on the pizzas is cut thin and very good. The problem I have had is any pizza with pepperoni. It makes the pizza so greasy it is not edible. I complained and I was told that the manager told the person I talked to on the phone that it is normal for the pizza to be greasy from pepperoni. That was it. They did not care that I paid for a pizza I could not eat and was throwing away. The grease as you can see in the picture went through the dough and through the pizza box. Crazy. I understand pepperoni can cause grease but thousands of other pizza places have pepperoni and you can eat the pizza so what ever they are using probably needs to be changed. I hesitated for a while to do this review because I really do like their food outside of the pepperoni. The service one star is for how I was treated when I called about the pepperoni and the atmosphere could use a deep cleaning and or a remodel but it does not affect me because I always get the food to go. With all that said I still recommend this restaurant as a must try if you are visiting or live in the area.

The pizza was excellent. I've had some of the best pizza NYC has to offer, and this definitely is in the same vain are those places and captures that same vibe of a pizza joint in NYC. The crust on the regular slices is excellent, not doughy at all, and the sauce has that nice tang that a good homemade sauce will have. My only suggestion for improvement would be maybe experimenting with a combo of cheeses to get the best possible flattering contrasts in richness and saltiness. The Sicilian pizza was the BOMB. A great crust, a sweeter sauce than the NY style, and that sweet sauce combined with the hearty tomatoes on top of a rich cheese along with a zesty seasoning made it a very satisfying slice. The service was good, the guy running the counter was very approachable.
