This restaurant is very casual and is great to stop in and grab a pie with the family. I have only tried the pizza so I cannot comment on any other food. There pie is very authentic and they do a good job. I usually stop in when I am up by the lake. I would recommend it over other places up that way.

I went to Brooklyn South Pizzeria this past weekend because I really enjoyed it the first time I went. This place must be hit or miss because it was not good at all the second time. I think the girl behind the counter just smoked a doob because she forgot to place our order and didn't remember to fix us our drinks. After calling in our order and waiting 15 minutes before we went to pick it up, we got there and contiued to wait for another 25 minutes. It was pretty ridiculous considering it was a Sunday and there wasn't that many people there. When I finally got home and was ready to enjoy this pizza we waited forever for it turned out to be really greasy and the dough wasn't even cooked all the way. Needless to say I'm pretty disappointed with my second visit here. I doubt I'll be back for a while as it was an extremely poor experience which wasted my time and money.

Its good, maybe but over rated by brainwashed NY / Philly transplants. And I am one
They have a Nonna pie that's really good. -
Review from Tom C.
Brooklyn South is a bit of an enigma to me. Their Italian dishes, like lasagna or chicken parmesan are generally pretty good but not stellar. The pizzas are SO hit or miss. When they are hit they are really good with crisp crust, good sauce and cheese but when they are miss, and they too often are, you wind up with a soggy in the center pos.
Still, for a quick, close to home, relatively inexpensive way to meet an Italian food craving, Brooklyn South fits the bill. Just have the pizza stone ready at home in case you get a soggy one to go!Listed in: Lake Norman Eats

First, I completely agree with Tom C.'s written review. Having lived in Chicago for 30 years I think I have a pretty fair perspective about what pizza and Italian food. First experience about a year ago ordered a pizza that left a lot to be desired. It was bland, soggy and everything that could be wrong with a pizza. Their only saving grace was their garlic bread with cheese. Our second experience, having a need to satisfy an Italian craving, we ordered the Chicken Parm and Lasagna. The Lasagna looked like soup and was so unappealing it went back and we got a refund. The Chicken Parm was overall bland - pasta with a generic sauce and the chicken was just OK.
On top of just OK food the service was less than satisfactory. We ordered for pick up and were told 20 minutes. Arrived on time, had to wait in line for 17 minutes just to pay for the food and then wait another 5 for the food to come out. When we returned the food they did not apologize for the inconvenience or acknowledge the fact that we had to return the food. We won't be going back again. -

Another pizza joint with ties to New York.
This particular one sets itself apart for me by way of its calzones!
I order some combination of ricotta, mozzarella, ground beef, tomatoes and black olives virtually every time, and it never disappoints!
I have had pizza there as well, and it is good, though not quite as memorable as the calzones.
While I often choose to get take-out, the interior is a comfortable place to dine in. A stone fireplace bisects the dining area, and a large brick patio is available as well.
Just sitting here typing about this is making me hungry. If you like pizza and Italian food, definitely worth a go! -

I don't eat pizza often, but when I do, I go to Brooklyn South up off of exit 28 in Cornelius. It is true NY style with hoagies and pasta dishes and all that Italian Jazz, but my go to is the totally unique and on my "best things Ive even ate" Grandpa's Pizza. This thing is a mouthgasm of flavor. Served Sicilian style, but thinner crust, mozzarella first and then ladled with homemade sauce that is the nice balance of chunky tomato and basil, and then topped with caramelized onions and homemade bread crumbs.......try this pizza, seriously.

Best Pizza in the Lake Norman area. Its huge, hot and always great. The service is good and the overall experience is relaxed and fun.
For some reason Brooklyn South is way better the Brooklyn Boys in Mooresville even though they the same owner? or family?
Overall awesome!Listed in: Best Food in NC

Brooklyn South has become a Cornelius mainstay for pizza. Then again, any place in Cornelius older than 1yr is a mainstay.
Atmosphere- Open. Kind of like a skilodge, due to the fireplace in the center of the restaurant. The place also has a nice, tree lined, outdoor eating area w/ enough trees to have you forget that you are near a busy road.
Service - I have been here a few times but last night I realized how odd the order setup process is to me. I guess maybe it is normal to go to a counter, order, take your street sign (g/f did the carrying...I am not carrying a street sign) to your table and wait for the server to bring your food. I do not know but for how nice the inside is you think it would be a little more wait staff oriented.
Food - Great! I think they have the tastiest pizza south of the Mason Dixon line. We ordered the NY Style, big thin slices, we had topped w/mushrooms, pepperoni and black olives. We also got side salads w/ romaine lettuce, tomato, carrot and onion. I normally get the Sicilian Style because I think it is even better than the NY Style (I like the thick, bread like crust). The sauce on both styles has a pleasant mild spicy flavor that is slightly salty w/sections of tomatoes giving the sauce a nice texture.
Overall - I really enjoy Brooklyn South as it is the most Northern style pizza place that I have found in the New South.Listed in: CLT - Me Fav

I love going to Brooklyn south pizzeria! I have been going there since it opened. My favorite pizza is the Nonna pizza and their buffalo wings are great too. When I come in the staff knows exactly what I want and are courtious and kind. Coming from New York I was hesitant to try a pizza place in North Carolina, but Brooklyn South's pizza is in my opinion better than any pizza place in New York!

Brooklyn South had been my favorite pizza place since they originally opened in their first location on the other side of Harris Teeter, however over the years the quality has been sliding a bit. The last two visits I've had at Brooklyn South have both been awful, this past time I ordered 2 calzones, a greek salad, and 6 garlic knots. The salad was aright, although it was no more than lettuce and a giant block of feta, but the garlic knots were too greasy to eat, and the calzones were not only tiny, but raw on the inside, and so hard on the outside that you couldn't bite into them. When I called to explain the problem the girl at the front put me on hold for 10 minutes and then seemed totally unsympathetic about the problem. I asked her if I could simply get a credit for the calzones, and she seemed put off to have to take down my information. I most likely won't return, even for the credit.
