Specializing in brick oven Neapolitan style, Grimaldi’s has been voted #1 pizzeria in New York by the Zagat Survey for 5 years in a row. The Zagat Survey also says Grimaldi’s is a "coal-oven pizza paragon that sets a 'benchmark' for the 'real' thing, the crust’s 'perfect char', the 'fresh-made' toppings and 'Frank on the jukebox' round out this 'requisite NY experience".
Specializing in authentic Sicilian style, L&B Spumoni Gardens has been around since 1939. According to the Zagat Survey: "Brooklyn landmarks' don’t get much more authentic than this Bensonhurst pizzeria/ice cream parlor where traditionalists order a 'corner square' of the Sicilian pie topped off by some 'delicious homemade spumoni".
