20 reviews for San Remo Pizzeria & Resturant
I order from here pretty frequently. It's not travel-worthy, but for the hood, San Remo always does the trick. They're friendly and fast, and delivery is good even if they can never ever remember to ring the right buzzer.
It's worth noting that the restaurant itself recently underwent a huge makeover and now offers live music on weekends, lots of more gourment specials, and has seating in the garden. I've never eaten here, but it looks pretty nice. I always get delivery or take-out.
Slices on the go are just fine. The veggie slice is great for the value - tons of veggies make one slice a meal, and I'm no bird. Whole pies never disappoint, and the pasta dishes are better than you'd expect. Meatballs (as a side or on a parm sandwich) are very good and huge, though occasionally a tiny bit burnt.
I recently discovered that the mixed salad has a bizarre amount of pickled things in it (carrots, cauliflower, you name it) which weirded me out at first but by the end of the salad, I was loving it. So that's a pretty tasty and unique menu item (and huge for $4.50)
Spinach and pepperoni rolls are particularly excellent and great bang for your buck at under $2. In fact, a pepperoni roll would really hit the spot right now...
I gotta be honest: the pizza sucks, especially when you're used to Armondo's Pizza in Canarsie & John's Pizza in Queens.
The baked dishes are ok, though the chicken parm ain't too bad. The recent renovation is nice with the outdoor seating. I like to get a chicken salad but dammit, I want cucumbers in my salad!!
I'd give it 5 stars but it's a tad expensive.
however the pizza is ubquestionably fantastic. I also enjoy that they have wheat and mini pizzas.
The pastas are fine as are the sandwiches. But the real reason to come is for the pizza.
I recommend wheat with broccoli and spinach. Or my personal favorite their veggie deepdish
My girlfriend and I have just moved to this neighborhood. Eager to try out Yelp's best recommended local pizza, we headed to San Remo's for some slices.
The service was fine. It's a nice looking place inside.
The pizza was absolutely mediocre, unmemorable...just not good.
The fundamental problem was the crust. It is was not crisp on the
outside...and just kind of doughy and chewy...but definitely not in
a good way. The sauce lacked any kind of sweet presence and the
cheese wasn't helping much either. A bland, generic NYC slice.
We did not try the pastas or other dishes -- so they may be good.
But it's a pizzeria and the pizza should be their star attraction.
We were looking forward to finding a great little pizza
joint in the neighborhood...but we'll keep looking.
You would never expect a quality Italian restaurant in the back end based on the store-front pizzeria. My bf and I dined inside late one evening, and I enjoyed my time there very much. The mood was very nice and relaxing and they have a live musician strumming his guitar. The space is kind of small, but at least they have a bar. The food was delicious. They start you off with wheat bread, which I'm not a big fan of healthy eating. I like to load up on refined carbs and butter. The waitress took a long time to fill my drink order, and she neglected to give me a straw. I forgive her since I liked it there so much. My bf ordered the calamari for an appetizer and it tasted crispy and fresh. I had the lasagna and it was a decent size portion. We also had a wrap sandwich which I thought was very good. If I wasn't so stuffed, I would have saved room for the dessert. Oh well, next time.
This neighborhood favorite actually just underwent a renovation, and added a back room which serves as a great restaurant with table service and the whole shebang.
The food is always top notch and the employees treat you like family. Once they have a Grand Opening, they'll even serve wine and beer. Everyone who thought San Remo's couldn't get better is in for a surprise!
But don't worry, the original pizza place is still there for those who want a quick bite on the run.
My spouse doesn't eat/like pizza so I've had theirs mostly when one of our kids orders a pie and there's a slice left. Several months ago they put in a backroom and are serving meals from a full "red gravy" menu. Wine and beer available. We had supper there last night and it was fine food and a good value for the baked Eggplant Parmigiana and "pasta primavera" whole wheat linguine with vegetables, sausage and marinara. Small wine selection offered reasonable and reasonably priced choices. Service was friendly and attentive, the room is clean and well-lit, but the bottom half of the walls are covered with plastic fake-rock and are a bit much. A true highlight was live music on this Friday night by Giovanni Guido, whose guitar work is orders of magnitude beyond the usual neighborhood joint background. This fellow is a pro--someone should sign him. Please.
I have no patience for long-line tourist-packed pizza shops. Going into a pizza shop and being out again in five minuted is one the (many) joys of pizza.
I don't have any patience for people who rate pizza based on a pie that was delivered. The pizza steams in the box! What was once crispy is now chewy! Duh!
I also have no patience for people who lessen their view of a pizza shop if they think "the other food isn't very good". Of course it isn't. Or maybe it is in another way: what do you want, fresh clams? Buffalo mozzarella? Whatever, you pay $28 for a pie and wait an hour. Please.
I want a goddamn $1.75 slice from San Remo. You go in, they bark a little at you - you bark a little at them, you wait and stare at everything they're doing, they all argue with each other. It rules. Bunch of old neighborhood guys, making pizza. The sauce is good, the cheese is good, the crust is thin and crunchy. I worked at a restaurant down the road and that's where all us cooks used to eat before and after our shifts. It's damn good.
The pizza is good.
I grew up in Queens and pizza has always been something I grab when I want something cheap and unexceptional. That's not San Remo. For the first time since high school, when my friends and I could down an entirely nasty Domino's pie or 3 when we had the munchies, I find myself craving pizza and inhaling 4 slices at a time.
The mozzarella sticks and zeppoles are good, too.
A family owned pizzeria that has been in this neighborhood for 2 generations now. The owner, Joe, was originally from Italy and brought with him home-style Italian cooking to the heart of Brooklyn. Now his son Matt runs the place, but not much has changed from when I first started going there.
It's a small place, with very friendly staff. I have known them all my life and I grew up eating their pizza, so I can honestly say that the quality of their pizza has never declined over time. This shop will always be my all time favorite pizzeria.
I recommend the manicotti, the bruschetta, the stuffed shells and the fresh basil and tomato pizza.
Not the fastest service or the absolute best pizza ever, but they make a good penne a la vodka with chicken. I did find it weird that their clam pizza had clams still in the shells on it. It made it a little aggravating to eat, since you had to pick each clam out of the shell and put it back on your pizza. The pasta was easy to eat and delicious, though.
Oh, and the tiramisu is mad yummy. You only live once. Just order it.
And if you're nearby? They deliver. Great deal.
San Remo's has been a family tradition for years. My parents took my sisters and I there for our pizza and we take our kids there. I knew the owner Joe when I was a kid. He was the nicest man and made the best pizza. He passed aaway and his sons run the business now.
They still make amazing pizza, but they have added a lot of great things to the menu. You have to try their fresh tomato, mozzerella, garlic slice. My favorite and the best I have had so far. Their mozzerella sticks, bruschetta, and spinach or sausage rolls are not to be missed.
San Remo's decor is typical of a neighborhood pizzeria. It's small and there's limited seating. PS 139 is across the street and at 3pm there no room in there. The place is swamped with parents and their kids. It tends to slow down after 4pm and you can sit and enjoy your pizza.
If you don't want to go to San Remo's they will come to you. They have a great delivery service. The pizza always get's to you nice and hot and all the cheese still on the pie - not the top of the box. I was also really glad to see that they now accept credit cards for delivery orders.
Everytime I go to San Remo's I am happy that some things stay the same - perfect!
I'm shocked no one has written this place up yet, it's definitely in my top 10 for NYC pizza, maybe my top 5.
They make this slice with tomato and garlic that is spectacular. Really yummy. The Japanese might even say "Oishii".
Their mozzarella sticks ain't bad either, if you're into that kind of thing. As far as the decor goes, it's a typical NYC pizzeria-- nothing fancy.
I think it's worth the trip out there if you've never been-- the guys who run the place are nice and it's right off the Q train. You could even go here and to Difara ON THE SAME DAY.
Who Knew?!? San Remo Pizzeria, a Restaurant Review
1408 Cortelyou Rd, Brooklyn, NY 11226
In Italy, practically every pizzeria has a sit down restaurant in the back room. They all serve pasta and they almost all are great places for dinner. The food is carefully cooked, the portions large and the prices much lower than the Restorante's or the Trattoria's.
San Remo has been a fixture on Cortelyou road for decades and they always made good pizza, but no one would take a date or a spouse there. It was certainly not a place for making a good first impression or quiet conversation with the kids screaming for their slices and sodas.
But things have changed!!!
Cortelyou is now a hot spot with several good restaurants and this marvelous evolution has now spread to San Remo. San Remo has opened up its mysterious back room and is serving beer and wine. While the restaurant room is not elegant, it is clean and homey.
The first three rules about restaurants are The FOOD, The VALUE and The PORTIONS and San Remo wins on all three.
Real standouts are Caveletti with sausage, broccoli rabe, white beans and garlic and the Lassagna, real plate fillers and done with care. The service is friendly and prompt. There are many wines under $30 and a dinner for two, appetizer, pasta, dessert and tip is easily under $40.
Restaurant Review: IndoMunch
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Chinese Indian Fusion-Confusion Reigns
O.K., I am a sucker for any new cuisine. Tell me about a restaurant that features a cooking from a country, that I never heard about and I am there.
According to Indomunch "Indian Chinese Cuisine is the adaptation of Chinese seasoning and cooking techniques to Indian tastes. It is widespread in certain localities in India, and is also enjoyed by people in Malaysia, Singapore and North America."
I was hooked!!!
IndoMunch is a very pleasant looking small and clean restaurant at 182 Lexington Avenue, near 32 Street, NY, NY.
The food was fresh and the portions adequate, but what was missing is taste. I expected the "Prawn Munch Special", to beshrimp cooked in a Chinese style with curry, to have a curry taste, but I was sadly disappointed. There was no heat and very little curry. The "Lamb in String Bean" was cooked with a black bean sauce and there were black beans in the dish, but none of saltiness and distinctive flavor of black beans. You could get a side dish of rice (basmati) or hakka noodles, a nice touch.
Chinese and Indian cuisines are known for their great unique tastes, but this restaurant could not make up its mind and got confusion, not fusion. In general, the preparation was not amateurish, the ambiance pretty, the service o.k. but the food had no soul.
The cost for two complete meals, about $70 with an automatic 20% tip.

I'm so thankful for this place. Decent, cheap pizza. A large pepperoni cost me $16.50. I'm used to paying about $20. It's not anything special, but it's reliable, consistent and worth having the number in your address book.
not only is their pizza really good, you should order then pasta and side dishes They make great steamed Broccoli Rabe w/ garlic, just like my grandfather made.
At around 6:30pm its a zoo, but even then the family that owns it, is nice and friendly....their Sicilian- they take to stress well. :)
There is a real pizza place upfront with a great new back area that is cute and has ambiance. Now its BYOB, till they get their license, which is not an issue w two wine shops on the block. Really happy about this place, rumor has it they are opening a garden this summer.
This place is not Totonno's or Franny's but its still awesome! when i dont feel like paying 25 dollars for a pie (which is most of the time lol) san remo's is who i call! their pies are awesome and cheap compared to other places. they deliver pretty fast as well. the pizza is not to greasy nor the dough is not to chewy! i dont think i can eat at any other regular pizza place again. i been spoiled!!!!!
How can San Remo compete in a borough that is already known for Di Fara's, Grimaldi's, Franny's, and Totonno's? Simply by being a solid neighborhood pizza joint serving up good pizza pies. San Remo reminds me of pizza from my childhood -- pizza that predates Dominos and Pizza Hut. Fresh, crispy, yeasty crust and fresh toppings. This isn't high gastronomy, folks. But it's good pizza and hits the spot when all you want to do is lay on your couch with a couple of beers and a slice.
I must say you can get a pretty good quality pizza here for a good price. The large is huge and the toppings seem fresh. The only reason why I"m not giving it 4 stars is because once i ordered a hamburger (I know, not the ideal thing to order at this kind of place) and it was horrible. Not even close to being cooked all the way. I was scared to finish the thing. I feel that even if a certain type of food isn't your specialty, it should still be prepared decently. The wings here, however, are pretty good for delivery.
I had to repeat myself on the phone 30 times and when my order finally arrived 45 minutes later, they forgot part of it and kept me on hold for 15 minutes while trying to decide whether or not to send what they forgot. It arrived another 45 minutes later. And it was bad. The whole meal was, in fact. The baked ziti tasted like they'd just boiled the pasta and threw sauce and cheese on top. You could taste the water on the undercooked pasta and the ricotta was in a pile in the center, not mixed in. The only thing truly baked was the top-layer of mozzarella. And the sauce itself? Nothing remarkable. Also, the garlic knots didn't have a single hint of garlic. It was, honestly, the worst Italian I've had in a while. I was thoroughly disappointed, especially after having read the other reviews here. Maybe their pizza's better--I don't know. But I won't be buying entrees from this place again.
