Great delivery. People were over at my place & we ordered from here. One of them said it was the best pizza she ever had, so there you are.

I love them for delivery. They're fast, they get the order right, they estimate how long it's going to take and they're pretty close. One time they messed up the address, but they called & we figured it out, and they didn't have an attitude about it. You know some places would.

I don't like them as much for slices. I'm not sure how that makes sense--it's the same pizza, right? Maybe it just doesn't age well under the heat lamps.

Free pizza when I show up to work? Automatic 3 stars!

Still plenty of pizza around when I take my break so I don't have to spend some of my own money to get dinner? Still 3 stars!

Honestly, my review may be a bit biased because I enjoyed two slices of regular cheese pizza free of charge. And supplied by my office no less. However, I'm not sure if it was because it had been sitting around for a while or what, but I have two major gripes about the quality of this pizza: the crust was damn near soggy (as in, no crisp or crunch at all!), and it seemed like there was more pooled up grease on this stuff than the entirety of pizza shops in the borough combined!

Still though, it was free. And my employer gave it to me. For free. So I can't complain too much.

Standard pizza.  Decent price.  They also have Diet Coke.  Worth stopping in if you are in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't take a subway journey for a slice

If you live in Brooklyn Heights or work in at the courts of Downtown Brooklyn and your friends come to visit and ask you where to get an authentic Brooklyn slice, I would go here. It's NOT that pretentious A.O.C s*it like Lucali's or Grimaldi's, just totally normal working man's fare, but executed perfectly.  I eat here pretty much twice a week and would eat here more often if I didn't fear becoming grotesquely obese. The "special" aka fresh mozzarella with basil slices are great, but my favorite thing there is a regular slice with fresh basil (they provide that as a free condiment, can you believe that??).  I could easily eat an entire pie by myself but I generally stop myself at two slices.  It's open till midnight most nights so it's great after you see a movie.

There are times when waiting over an hour for pizza isn't  practical.            

There are times when you need a really good slice.

My Little Pizzeria makes a really good slice.

Not great... but not bad.  Little too greasy for me.

This place has some special with my school... so needless to say, I eat a lot of free pizza from here.  So in that regard, can't get a better price for me.

Delicious delivery!  I have been on somewhat of a quest to find good delivery pizza in this area.  Fascati's is always first, but they don't answer their phone lately.  

My Little Pizzeria is great New York pizza, plain and simple.

The go-to for slices in BK Heights.  And the garlic knots are bomb.

If I had to bring only three foods with me on a desert island to consume for the rest of my life here is what I would bring:

1. Pizza

2. Popcorn

3. Spinach (gotta have some vitamins & fiber, kids)

But until then, I've got lots of choices.

And whenever I am walking the long way home from the subway and I'm hungry, this pizza parlor is there to sell me a hot slice.

They aren't my favorite--but they are not bad.  Pretty good, actually.

And they still have the old-school grape drink dispensers too.  Extra points for this (see my review on Fascati's Pizza for the full experience)

I've been disappointed by MLP recently, their pies are still pretty delicious but their slices have been seriously undercooked recently. I hate to say it, but recently I have been preferring frozen Trader Joe pizza's to slices at MLP.

Great pizza pies.  We often order this at work for the guys.  Pies are about $14 for a large no topping.  This is my neighborhood pizza place!

I live across the street, and it's like a reliable friend.

Try the pizza w/fresh mozzerela and tomato sauce.  It's a good slice.  I don't like their white pizza so much.  

They also sell some italian ices.  I've never tried them, so I can't speak to their quality.

I used to live across the street.  And I third the recommendation on the fresh slice or the fresh Sicilian square (if you are into that sort of thing).  The sauce is AMAZING!!  Absolute the best pizza for the money ($2.25/slice or square)

Oh, and there is a cute little patio with trees in the back!  Really a great place to grab a quick lunch!

This is a surprising spot that actually has one of the better Sicilian squares in the area. It's no Lenny's on 5th Avenue, but it's got a great sauce and a good crunch with a soft center. The grandma slices are also solid. Voted least likely to taste good because of location alone, I have been schooled.
Great off the train.

The only pizza place in the area open at 11 on a Saturday. Pizza is not the best, but not bad. Definitely better than a chain.

When jonesing for a slice and wanted to stay local, I hit up My Little Pizzaria.

The plain slice was cheapest and the best.  

They have this ice cream bar in the back...never seen anyone actually get ice cream.

This is my favorite pizza place. It's packed usually in the afternoon because that's when school gets out. It's great for kids and the restaurant is also great for groups. They have outdoor seating, an extension in back and tables in front. They constantly keep coming with new pies of every kind just about every 5 minutes. That's what makes My Little Pizzeria so unique.

We had good plain slices and a white ("bianca") slice. It was a pretty hectic scene, but the line moved quickly.

Strangely, their delivered pies are not so great. I've consistently had much better slices in person and then been really disappointed by what they deliver.  :(

I had the Sicilian with fresh mozzarella. it was great. It was also lighter than most Sicilian and had a very good sauce. I think they had the regular pizza with the same sauce and cheese, but I didn't try it.
My wife had a plain slice and it was plain.

This place really surprised me. It looked like most NYC neighborhood pizza shops.

I would actually give this place 3.5 stars.  Why can't we give half stars?

anyway, the pizza is not too bad at all.  i stop by there all the time to pick up a slice on the go.  as with most places, the pizza tastes much better when you eat it there, then when it's delivered.

cons:
the employees.  i try not to complain too much about employees because i know these jobs can be tough, but they do not know how to run a counter at a nyc pizza place.  they're super slow with getting you change.  they're super slow with taking your order, giving you your order and telling you how much your order is.

if you go in to most quick pizza joints, you give your order, scoot down, pay some dude, and wait 60 seconds for some pizza.  

they take their time like they're senior citizens in florida (no offense, but i want my pizza fast).  chop chop people.

Quite a play on My Little Pony ... well I will saddle up for a slice of this pizza any day. It has great average corner shop slices, extra syrupy fountain soda, and breath-deadening garlic knots. This quite spacious Pizzeria might get bumped up to a four because it's a good place to pick up a law student. If that's your plan, steer clear of the garlic knots. Trust.

Keep it simple here and you'll be happy - the fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce pie is the best, in my opinion. Crust is a little thicker than I usually like, but still chewy, not doughy. Great lunch spot if you're stuck in downtown Brooklyn and prefer not to patronize the multitude of chain fast food places that crowd this neighborhood.
