The BEST pizza in the US!
Giardini s pizza is simply amazing. The crust is perfect. The sauce and the toppings are fresh and delicious. The cheese is generously layered, creating a gooey delight. Whether you like classics or adventurous flavors, they've got you covered. It's not just pizza; it's a taste sensation worth savoring again and again.
Love this pizza every time!
Best slice I’ve had in a while, good quality cheese and plenty of sauce. Crust perfectly soft and crispy. These days it seems like every pizza is essentially a white pizza without sauce, maybe as a cost saving measure? but theirs has restored my hope. Super fast, friendly fast service. Next to G
One of the best pizza spots in the neighborhood. Simple, classic, and delicious. Also a good value. I’ve never had a bad slice here. Way better than trendier spots like Baby Luc’s.
Their pizza was absolutely delicious!! I had a large, plain slice, and a plain square. They are made with different sauces, but so delicious. The square was so light, and both cooked to perfection! I can't wait to go back soon for more. 💕So much better than the tasteless pizza I had the day before on 5th Avenue.
2nd Best Pizza restaurant I ever tasted. Owner very nice ,and friendly that’s my experience.Great service, my favorite pizza is the one with cheese and bacon so delicious I always go there with my family for pizza. Once or twice a week I drive far to get it.
Good pizza for a good price, they have a huge selection of different pizzas available. The pizza is delicious and card payment is possible.
A slice of pizza and a soft drink, that might be Just what you need. And Giardini is a good place for Just that. They offer a rich variety of pizzas, some vegan. They are tasty and delicious. And very nice people working there! A perfect place for a quick bite. They offer take away and have ATM inside. Conveniently located at the Subway station on Carroll Street.
Solid pizza place, not a ton of flavor in the sauce but a nice little side patio and tons of slice options. Only $3 for a slice.

Gen-X remembers a time when pretty much every single corner pizzeria was amazing in its own right. Going into the 90's, that started to change, and the trend has been monotonically trending downward ever since.
In my neib, Midwood, we have Di Fara's, of course. But I honestly can't think of any other pizzas that knock my socks off. We have good ones, but other than Di Fara, none that really stand out. We were in Carrol Gardens and stumbled across Giardini. It looked good, so we walked in to get a pie and some calzone. The punchline is, Giardini really stands out.
It's hard not comparing Giardini with Di Fara's, b/c Di Fara's is my "home turf", and I love both pizzas. The difference is, of course, that Di Fara's is known to be NYC's most expensive pizza, which is obviously not a contest anyone should want to win.
What did I like about Giardini?
The cheese was fresh and tastes beautiful. The average pizza these days is flavorless, but not this cheese!
The sauce was not overly sweet. I still like *my* sauce better, but in terms of pizza sauce, this sauce is savory, not sickening sweet. It has a ripe tomato profile, which has sadly become elusive in the NYC pizza scene. To me, it screams "home made", definitely not canned.
The sausage was savory and vibrant. Very fresh tasting, and not overly greasy. The same for the pepperoni.
The vegetables on our pizza -- roasted broccoli and tomato -- was fresh, tasted delicious, and was done in just the right proportions.
The calzone was unbelievably delicious (I ordered sausage - ricotta - meatball).
What was I neutral on about Giardini?
I wish our pizza box had a pizza saver since we were carrying the pie home. One one hand, a pizza saver really works when you're carrying a pie, but on the flip side, they're environmentally unfriendly, so I can't complain about this too much.
What didn't I like about Giardini?
Nothing. There's nothing I don't like about this place. If they were here in Midwood, we'd be going here exclusively for our pizza needs.
Amazing Sicilian pie. Ordered a whole pie and was out the door within 10 minutes. Really inviting staff.
After going to the clown carnival known professionally as Baby Lucs, I was on a search for a better slice in the area. I found that here.
First and foremost, the interior is nice, very homey, properly sized, classic Brooklyn feel. The outdoor seating is also a nice addition.
But none of that REALLY matters!
This is about the slice, and I must say, I’m pleasantly surprised. Maybe my taste buds were ruined by Baby Luc’s but the sauce here is super yum. Cheese is up to par and the crust is well formed. If I were to critique it, I’d say the dough was little too soft to my liking, needed some crisping in the oven.
A wonderful old woman told me to next time ask for it well done. TAKE HER ADVICE!!
Aside from that, I will be returning customer for sure.

Great sauce! Definitely worth walking past three or four other places to get here!
This restaurant has the best pizza I've ever tasted! I'm not a pizza person, but this restaurant has made me rethink my preferences. Their crust is delicious! It has great flavor and doesn't make you have that weighed down feeling in your stomach after eating the crust from other pizzerias! The slices are generous, and the staff is courteous and giving. My family and I will be returning!
(Sorry, no photos to share -- we ate everything!
These guys are my top pick for a quick slice in Carroll Gardens. Sicilian, grandma, plain, and white are my favorites.
A vegan option was recently added to their offerings (I haven't vetted yet).
They also recently added a tent over their garden space; several patio tables are in that area & usable whatever the weather is doing. There's a few small tables and barstools inside, too.
Cards accepted, cash preferred.
Right across from the Carroll Gardens F/G station so it's an easy detour when you're transiting.
Best pizza in NY. A must every time we visit the city.
Packed with flavor, cheese sticks to the base of the pizza, no super crunchy bread that cuts the roof of your mouth.
love this place. feels so old school ny but they accept Apple Pay (small surcharge). wish I lived in the neighborhood and could come by more often
