Ljubo Pizzeria

3.5 stars
Pizzas are so jumbo I can’t even believe it sometimes. Worth going in if you are hungry. A slice could fill you up. Good old school hole-​in-​the wall type pizzeria. Simple.

Love this place. Simple, not fancy, only sells the basics. Not trying to add full restaurant items. Like the way it was when I was growing up. The difference is that the slices are HUGE (sorta the size of two slices) and not thin thin slices, they’re traditional Bronx thickness. The price, $ 3.00 a slice, is a bargain. The taste and the slice itself are great. I find by the time I get to the crust, I’m full.

One the best pizza in NYC. The pizza is so big, thick and taste great for $ 3.00 dollars. I wish there more location like this one all over the city.

Great tasting pizza, absolutely huge slices, only $ 3 per slice… The owner and staff are very friendly… One of the best in the Bronx.

I love this place. Their pizza is tasty and huge. I’ve been coming here since I lived in the area and attended Lehman HS. Every time after leaving school on my way home I would stop by the shop to grab me a slice. Hands downs this pizza is one of the best in the BX.

Overrated — the only reason people like this place is because they have big slices. Big deal the pizza is big, it doesn’t taste that good and it’s sloppy. I guess it’s good if you’re a student and want a cheap lunch that might fill you up, but IMO it doesn’t taste good.

Huge slices that are pretty thin and delicious for three dollars (1 $ extra w/​topping) you will have a satisfying lunch. They have skimped on the cheese over the years but I still enjoy my slice with pepperoni– the sauce and the crisp dough seal the deal for me.
One slice here is pretty much like ordering two from anywhere else.

One of the best slices of pizza in The Bronx! I have been a customer for 25 years.
I’ve since moved from New York and whenever I return I go out of my way to head to The Bronx and get a slice — Alright, more like a whole pie — to cover the 5 hour drive home.
Between this place and Sal’s (which burned down about 7 – 8 years ago) my life was filled with great pizza. These are the largest slices you will find! Perfect flavor, crust and balance. Easily a top 2 – 3 for me.
Every slice of LJubo’s is a slice of nostalgia.
While the owner appears to no longer work… the recipe and the memories remain.

This place used to be good years ago. The
slices are all bread and no cheese. The
pizza used to be steaming hot and service
with a smile. Now it makes the customers
feel like they owe something as soon as
you walk in.

Affectionately known by us locals as LaJumbos when clearly it’s not spelled that way they have provided ten years of great Huge Pizzas. I met a random stranger today in the city and they knew of LaJumbos and didn’t even live in the Bronx. Now that’s good pizza. Keep up the good work.
My only suggestion is you should be open 24 hours!

Huge slices for $ 3, thin and crisp like a New York pizza should be. The owners are friendly and work fast!

I don’t know who they trying to fool at the PIZZA shop … me and my son have been going here every saturday for 2 years … now it looks like the owners son was
there and the slices are smaller and he didn’t make my slice hot enough when I asked … and still they’re charging the same price … I
told my parents and friends about this place and they go there … looks like WE are going to go elsewhere for PIZZA … CROSS BRONX PIZZA isn’t far from there. so we’ll go there instead… or to FRANKIE’S … nice going Ljubo’s … and good luck on
fooling your other patrons with
smaller slices for the same price

How could anybody say this place is horrible? Look at the size of the pizza! Also, the perfect ratio of dough and crispy and cheese to sauce.

My go-​to place for pizza when I’m in the neighborhood. These are TEXAS-​SIZED slices (no diss to the Bronx, but these are HUGE). Tasty, straight-​forward, satisfying and you can’t beat the price, especially in light of the size.

This place is just okay as far as pizza goes. I found this place by accident — I almost walked out when I saw the price of one slice. I decided to just look over the counter to see how the pizza looks; I couldn’t believe my eyes! I’ve had a lot of pizza in my day, but I’ve never seen a slice this big. It took me 10 minutes to eat the whole thing. It wasn’t particularly tasty, but not terrible (better than the other pizzeria down the street however). This is really a 3.5 star slice, but I can’t give half star ratings. I would have given it four, but the sauce and cheese had no distinct flavor. I’d come again just to show someone else how large their slices are.

This place had been around for many years. I remember when I was a Lehman student going here for slices. One slice would fill me up for a while. These are the Jumbo Jumbo’s of The Bronx. I don’t know of any other place that makes bigger slices then them AND keeps the prices low at $ 2.50 a slice. Not the best pizza in The Bronx, but I’d say the Biggest Pizza in The Bronx!
*They get Five Stars for having Jumbo Slices for $ 2.50*

Don’t ask me how the name is pronounced.
«El Jubo?»
«Luh Jubo?»
«Jubo?»
My brother bragged about the size of their slices for years. I decided to try it out on an early Saturday afternoon. Inside the store front is a small narrow corridor with a bunch of stools, where you can stare at yourself while eating your pizza.
For $ 2.50 you get a large slice; it’s not a joke (see photos). It tastes pretty copasetic; would it win best pizza in NYC? No. Largest pizza in NYC? Possibly. You should see the pies. They are so big they spill out of the boxes.
Considering the rising cost of wheat, pizza prices will rise everywhere. I could see this place being very busy during the week (ie Lehman high school students and those who work in the area). I like the fact that their slices illustrate good value.
The meter maids in Westchester Square are on foot and are always on the move. Be sure to feed the meter or have a friend move your double-​parked car. I saw an excited customer leaving with a pizza pie turn his smile upside down as he got a parking ticket.
