Brooklyn Pizzeria

6:00 on a Sunday evening and the place is empty. Asked some simple questions of the server at the walk-​up and order counter, and got a pretty «indifferent to you being here» response. She eventually walked away when I asked her to describe how big the calzone is. The other employee taking a phone order, was a bit mortified watching, and was more than helpful in taking my order.
Got the order to go, poured a fountain drink for the road, only to find out they are out of lids. The calzone better be off the chart, wicked good.
So, the food actually made up some ground on the negatives. It was a large; and yes, big enough for two. I ate about ¹⁄₃ of it and I’m stuffed for a few hundred more miles. Good, hot crust, brushed with garlic butter, giving cause to lick your fingers and use a decent number if napkins. Cheese in the middle wasn’t completely melted, but it was hot nonetheless. No, this isn’t Italian straight from a piazza in Rome, but if you are driving the long stretch from Asheville to Knoxville, I’d pick this place again over the common burger, taco and sub sandwich franchises.
Check to see if they have kids for the fountain drinks if you are getting takeout, otherwise, there are soft drink bottles in the cooler as well.

Friendly staff with prompt service. Food was out quickly (10 – 15 for a whole pizza). Conveniently located right off I-​40 allowing for a quick and inexpensive alternative to fast food.

Excellent pizza, clean place.
Prices are good, having never had real ny pizza I am not sure of the authenticity of the pizza.
Good sauce, great crust, fresh toppings, worth a stop in.

I ate pizza here twice and really feel bad to give this restaurant a low rating because I really REALLY wanted to like this place but hey this a small town establishment in the south trying make a NY pizza what should I expect? I’m Italian born and raised Brooklyn recently relocated to TN and was excited to find a «Brooklyn» pizza. Maybe my expectations of what pizza should be are too high and I should remember we’re not in Brooklyn anymore and if we were then I’d give this place a one star but I adjusted my rating because of the location. And if you know me you’d know I’m not picky… I’ve always said anything loaded with cheese and sauce is good? Not always! Their sauce makes the pizza almost inedible, too overpowering loaded with too many herbs. The crust and texture is NY style but the sauce his horrible. I haven’t tried anything else on their menu perhaps their hot plates are better. But the establishment is nice and clean and the staff were always super friendly.

Pizza was very thin, greasy and mush in the middle. Very undercooked. Wouldn’t recommend.

I must begin by stating that I waited 15 min before anyone greeted us at the counter, which I ended up having to call the restaurant to alert someone we were standing there. Upon being greeted by someone we ordered a large pie with half eggplant and half cheese, nothing out of the ordinary. The wait didn’t seem bad until after 35 min of just sitting in the empty dining hall. Once our pizza came out we were not at all surprised by the quality and flavor, due to the time we waited and the customer service here. The cheese was not oozing like true NY pizza and the crust was hard and crunchy. We ate it since we were hungry and honestly the wait was just crazy. Overall I wouldn’t spend my time stopping here if you’re looking for that true NY flavor. the dining room was clean and newly built but then again it belongs to the Best Western, so what can I say! Sorry Brooklyn, but you let this New Yorker down

Very disappointed. The staff was very friendly and the place was clean. That’s all I can say good about this place. We picked pizza by the slice. They reheated in the oven long enough to bake a pizza. It was dry, hard, and DARK brown. Never, ever again !!! My advice is don’t waste your money or time.

The menus posted on here are not
The current menus. Expect to pay around 3 dollars more per item. We were there at 12:45 on a Monday, there were two people ahead of us. Food was delivered 45 minutes later by an extremely rude server. The Stromboli had green peppers on them which I cannot eat. The calzone my husband ordered had no Canadian bacon just cheese. Once again, I was ordering off the menu on Unilocal.We weren’t offered a menu at all. When i brought up the price difference as well as ingredient difference with the server, he pretty much just said tough luck. I also tried to get a to go menu which they didn’t have. Moral of the story: always check for the most recent menu. Customer service has gone to hell everywhere and no one cares if you’ve purchased something that you didn’t intend to.

Brooklyn Pizzeria provided the first good meal I had on my way to NC. I was famished when I saw the billboard for pizza by the slice some 20 miles away.
I love pizza by the slice and NY style pizza is my second favorite style. I ate two pieces of delicious cheese and that was almost too much to finish.
The place is big, clean, well-​lit and was nearly empty when we were there. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. I could go for another slice now!

Great tasting pizza. Clean. Friendly staff. Perfect thin crust pizza with just the right amount of sauce

Driving through visiting our daughter who recently moved to TN. Born and raised in the Bronx (in CA for 45 years) and this is as close as one can get to authentic NY Pizza. Prices amazingly reasonable, sweet friendly, attentive staff and DELICIOUS pizza… can you open one up in Riverside, CA??? Pretty please! Will be back when visiting daughter again… thanks.

Canned mushrooms. Do I really need to say more?
I guess Unilocal won’t accept a review that short, so I guess I’ll also comment on the wait time. Three slices took over 20 minutes. The restaurant was not busy at all. I stood at the counter for three minutes before anybody even said anything even though someone looking like a manager was standing at the register the whole time, looking down and scribbling something. It was an awkward wait to see if he would say anything. I’m thinking that the service may not always be this lousy, but it’s hard to imagine that such a poor quality pizza was just a fluke. do you want to get however the place was clean and the atmosphere was alright, with a big screen TV that had football on, thus the second star.

Anyone of the negative comments obviously is only happy with pizza hut. I eat here when im traveling I-​40. This is easy off easy on tractor trailor parking also. Staff is friendly. Place is clean. Enjoy the pizza tremendously. Has all the makings of a good NY pie (although not NYers) even has the grease drip of a NY pie. If you dont give it a try its your loss. Im told the cheese steak is awesome. But i havent tried it yet. Im a pizza guy at heart

I feel bad about this. The space is quite nice, seconds off of I-​40, plenty of parking. The staff are all very nice and helpful. But that awful, awful product they have been mandated to offer to folks on the other side of the counter is criminal. We stopped to grab a slice or two. Four slices would have been $ 8.00. But a 16″ pie was $ 9.00. Then the super friendly counterman let us know that the *20 inch* pie on Sunday was a mere $ 10.00. What we got was the largest circle of sadness I have ever attempted to consume. The crust, I swear, was not flour, water and yeast. It was this dead flavorless skin, almost like a pita bread. The sauce was overpowering, which I think is deliberate. And the cheese. No, the congealed cheese «product». It was indescribable. Normally when I wind up facing real crap pizza, I can at least scrape the cheese off and get by. Even the cheese was awful. And the pie itself, which got to the table in suspicious record time, was so intensely hot that it took 20 minutes to be able to find out how bad it was without scarring the roof of my mouth. A heartbreaking experience. But the staff is to be commended, soldiering on, slinging some real awful product, seemingly happy as can be.

I was quite surprised by this place. You might assume, like I did, that this place being connected to a hotel would make its pizza inferior. In fact, we almost passed this place up because of that assumption.
But if you passed it up, you’re missing out on some high-​quality NY style pizza. I’ve had less authentic NY style pizza closer to NY. The crust is thin and crispy. The slices are huge. My expectations were met and exceeded.
Considering the all you can eat option ($ 7), the huge TV, and the ample seating, it doesn’t matter if this place is connected to the Best Western. I can’t imagine any other pizza place within a 50 mile radius could do the NY style as well.
The prices are reasonable. The pizza is authentic, and the service is friendly. Five stars.

The restaurant was very clean, and the employees were so nice and didn’t ignore the fact we were there like most places would. We actually got a hello and how are you guys today. The food was outstanding! And there was a guy named Justin who was just amazing, and very nice. Will recommend to anyone, and they run specials all the time. Will defiantly be going back soon!

Their pizza by the slice, which is NY style, came out piping hot and was better than I expected for a place in the middle of TN. Having had real NY pizza in THE City I can only slightly quibble about the crust. It was a bit thin for my liking but crunchy on the outside which I like. The sauce had a nice spiciness to it and there was a generous amount of pepperoni on the slice. 3 slices of pizza and a drink for $ 9. Stop here instead of the regular truck stop fair if you’re passing through town.

My husband and I, my son and his family and my extended family eat here at least 2 times a week. We love it. The staff and the atmosphere are great. The pizza is to die for as I always order exta ooey-​gooey cheese on ours. We have stopped going anywhere else since we starting here.

We ordered in because stayed at the attached Best Western. Obviously canned toppings, obviously previously frozen sausage, one step above tomato paste sauce. I am not a picky eating the least but this place was disgusting. Do not get the garlic knots, there was more garlic sauce then knots I actually had to wipe them off to make them edible.

Traveling to Charlotte and decided to take the Neport exit to try
Brooklyn Pizzeria. I must say they have great pizza and steak & cheese
sandwich that was awesome. I’m sure I’ll visit again on travel to the area.
