What Jonathan L likes about Lenny’s Pizza :
Was told this place is famous due to John Travolta filming and eating at this spot so decided to give it a chance since I was hosting an Eagles watch party (Go Birds! sorry Giants fans). Ordered two 16 pies (but the cheese looked like an 18 inch; I'm not complaining). The ultimate test was done on the cheese pizza. One bite everyone knows the rules...Wish the bottom of the crust was a bit crispier. The sauce was a go... View all feedback. What Beantux Kennedy doesn't like about Lenny’s Pizza :
I have been coming here for 30 yrs with family. Now showed my husband. We order constantly, pick up often and eat in monday nights. Last wk i ordered grandpa pie and got a dry barely sauced thick crust pizza. The girl who i usually love refused to help. I even wear their merch i got from their website on my channels. Its bizarre they decided to not stand by their product. You have no idea what youre gona get when you... View all feedback.

Great place and great ! Would come back in a second.

After 30 years of loyal patronage, a disappointed customer recently had a negative experience at a long-time favorite Brooklyn pizzeria. Despite their past support and regular visits, they were let down by a subpar pizza and lackluster customer service. The inconsistency of the food quality has ultimately led them to bid farewell to Lenny's Pizza. Meanwhile, another diner was drawn in by the restaurant's fame, tied to John Travolta's association with the establishment. While the cheesiness impressed, the overall experience was deemed decent but not exceptional. A recent visitor to the location, just days before its closure was broadcasted by media, reminisced on the nostalgia and sentimental value attached to the pizzeria. The impending closure marked the end of an era for many, leaving behind memories of average pizza but a strong sense of community. However, there were others who will miss the famous 'Grandma' pizza dearly and cherish the warm atmosphere and delicious food that characterized their visits. Overall, the consensus is that Lenny's Pizza holds a special place in the hearts of its loyal customers, despite some recent disappointments and the closure of its iconic location in Brooklyn.
