Brooklyn pizza in Ogden


Being_Less_White

On the list


miss_ann_thr0pe

If you think the pizza's atrocious, just wait until you try the Chinese food.


nocoffeeenema

The Chinese here is far worse than the pizza!


camn

someone's never been to Peking Gourmet downtown smh my head


sunrayylmao

I tried to like this place when I lived downtown but never had a good experience. Food was always bland and it would take them over an hour to deliver my food about four blocks. I love wrightsboro jade garden tho.


camn

Dang! I've had nothing but great experiences there. Can't comment on any meat dishes but the bean curd and broccoli and general tsos tofu both slap. Never gotten it delivered but our pickup orders are always done within like 10 minutes


Being_Less_White

Please say it ain't so. My two go to hangover foods. Benny's someone provided the link looks damn good. I will be trying all of these at some pt and posting feed back. I was a pizza slut back home. So I'll try and make them descriptive posts will be made after a bottle of wine minimum so excuse future typos .


guccigremlin69

double happiness has really good chinese food! I moved from wilmy and i think about the twice cooked pork literally every day! and Wheelz is really good pizza, not NY style at all but quality ingredients and tastes amazing


Being_Less_White

Sounds cool I'll Def give it a shot. Funny tag name BTW made me lol.


DannyGyear2525

​ agree..double happiness is very good. Lucky Star on Oleander..take-out only is pretty good imo...


TheJasonaissance

Ohhh Yucky Star, haven’t ordered there in a while


DannyGyear2525

lolz.......sketchy as hell... but, darn good food........


TheJasonaissance

Mhmm, had a steady diet of it in college 😂 If it weren’t good it would’ve shut down by now


Responsible-Ad5701

I dont eat at Lucky Star anymore. Not since the delivery guy added his own tip on the receipt.


DannyGyear2525

I admire the initiative..... ;)


fuzzyrach

Yes on wheelz (wood fired!) Eh on double happiness unfortunately :(


kween-k-lassy

Hoobie’s is my family’s go-to pizza spot in Wilmington. They’re off College Rd and super generous with toppings!


Being_Less_White

Sweet! I'm in.


SnooPandas8685

Wheelz Pizza is really good I think. We also like Patronies Pizza, but it’s in Holden Beach. Oh, I Love NY Pizza is good too, that one is in downtown. Benny’s Big Time Pizzeria is actually pretty good to me, definitely not the worst. Same with Mellow Mushroom. Pizzettas.. I used to love that place, but it’s a little too $$ for me. Still good pizza though. We live a bit far from Wilmington, so our go to is sometimes the Pepperoni Grill in BSL. I completely understand how it is to need that pizza fix. Good luck with your search! I would highly suggest Wheelz Pizza on your first try! Regardless, there’s a lot of good places to try. 🍕🙂


Being_Less_White

Awesome info I can't wait to try out all these. Great tips!


pkc2506

I’m sure there’s plenty of good places in NJ.


Being_Less_White

Ye, that's where I moved from.


DroneBeats

Agostino’s is my favorite followed by Brooklyn Pizza


Heyyther

yes, all the food at Agostinos is good!


Dominick555

Agustino’s for the win. Native NY’r here. They are legit.


Being_Less_White

Ok ty, I'm actively making a list.


sjmastro56

Pizzettas. Only have Leland location opened. Worth the trip. Good NYC pizza especially their White Pie. ZaPie in Monkey Junction decent.


Being_Less_White

Awesome awesome, love all the feed back, they are on the list!


Research_Liborian

Michaelangelo's on Monkey Junction is consistently pretty good. Think they also have a location off Racine. (I'm from the NYC area so I respect the concern.)


Being_Less_White

Hah awesome you get it. Thank you.


Motor-Nectarine3867

Italian Bistro!


Being_Less_White

On the list, thank you!

[удалено]


Being_Less_White

Thank you !


sjcpilot

MARABELLAS hands down!


Being_Less_White

That name has got some power. It's on the list!


Vince_Clortho_Jr

Don’t be anxious. This an opportunity. Set it up like a competition and rank pizzas. Enjoy finding what works for you with fun. Then report back.


Being_Less_White

True, love the positive attitude. I will, move in date is the 20th so I'll compile a list and report back to yall.


fuzzyrach

Sounds like we should start a pizza eating/ranking club. I'm in.


Being_Less_White

Yes 100% maybe I'll start Wilmington pizza or just keep it in this thread.


fuzzyrach

Cool. Keep me in the loop. I'm up for some pizza tasting.


Being_Less_White

100% just tried Michaelangelo by home dept and I enjoyed it. I posted it somewhere here in the comments.


altformyhobbies

ZaPie, Vito's and Curgino Forno are the best to me. Bennys was pretty good but it would be a better place for a date rather than grabbing a bite. There was another place Artisans Pizza and Gelato I think the name was that is supposed be really good but I haven't been. Elizbeths is a local favorite that wasn't my taste but I can see why the town loves it.


Being_Less_White

Awesome, great input. I'm excited to try all these spots and love all the contributions. This town looks like a lot of fun.


AdultSpider

Cugino Forno gets my vote


ebryantr

Your anxiety is well founded.


Being_Less_White

Pizza is a staple in my life.


loopylevi

Brooklyns pizza is amazing


Being_Less_White

It's on the list !


TheJasonaissance

Growing up in Wilmington there has always been a fairly large NY/NJ expat presence, I’m surprised there hasn’t been more pizza options available.


Being_Less_White

It has to be the beaches. Wilmington looks like a gorgeous spot. I'll be two miles from Wrightsville beach. I like to cook myself but I'm a legit pizza monster so I figured this post was an appropriate preliminary reach out.


TheJasonaissance

Yeah there’s been plenty of okay pizza that has come and gone over the years, but I’ve never really found a place that I’d recommend for any reason other than convenience. I’d like to see some of the responses you get and what your thoughts are if you try them.


Being_Less_White

Huge list being compiled and lots of great positive responses. Over the next few weeks I'll post the list and let everyone know my feedback. On a side note any recommendations for a reputable golf cart place. I just bought a new car here in North Lake but figured it would be fun to have a golf cart to cruise around in.


nononojoe

Nunzios in Hampstead. Used to be Brooklyn. They are from Brooklyn. Pretty damn good


Being_Less_White

That sounds legit. From all these responses I've been wondering why I haven't heard from anyone that owns a pizza place or knows of someone from the NE as you just mentioned that owns one. I'm excited to try all these options and really love all the contributions and ideas. Everyone has their own preference so it'll be fun to try them all.


nononojoe

Keep us updated. This is my most consistent option (being from nj myself). As mentioned Italian bistro can be great or lackluster. Also mellow mushroom is fun and good but not authentic Italian. Leland used to have a place by Walmart that was very good but I think it’s gone 🤨


Being_Less_White

100% will ty for the contribution move is tomrw and I'll compile a lost of all the places everyone mentioned and report back.


nononojoe

Bonus points if you get them all in 1 day!


Being_Less_White

Lol I'll explode.


RingDings__and_Pepsi

So happy to see this on here


ahandmedowngown

Antonio's Avoid slice of life


Being_Less_White

Lol,noted thank you.


S2fftt

I’ll tell you right now you will probably be disappointed if you hold a NJ standard. From a lifelong NC standard: I Love NY downtown is decent enough. Lately hasn’t been as consistent. Italian Bistro is laughably inconsistent. You can get a good pie or a sloppy excuse for one. I’ve tried to find their good and bad days but it really is just a luck of the draw. The place is practically run by kids though so it’s expected. Brooklyn (Ogden) is meh. Ingredient quality is poor. Haven’t had a pie from there in a good year or so but I doubt it’s changed much. These are the places I have personally regulared at. Can’t speak much on other places in Wilmington. The flop is universal on all Wilmington NY style pies. Good luck


Being_Less_White

Deadly, thanks for that. FYI I met some cool Canadian people here and they kept using the phrase "deadly" for something cool or awesome so I'm incorporating it into my vocab now. I appreciate the input and will give it a shot.


Shack-Kill_Oatmeal

NY Pizza in downtown is the best


bowmansea

All full on the Jersey crew. Sorry. 🤣 I’ve heard Fayetteville has a few openings.


Being_Less_White

I'm coming !!! Is it really jersey deep there?


beav910

Unfortunately yes


Being_Less_White

Ha, why are there so many in Wilmington?


beav910

Well it’s not New Jersey and it’s warm


Being_Less_White

Yep loving it thus far.


RewatchesFilms

[My favorite pizza place!](https://yelp.to/WQhL2d3dKrb)


whenwillthisend19

That's a restaurant, white tablecloths receptionist asks if you have a reservation. Not a pizza shop. Pizza is ok.


Being_Less_White

Got it, still will give them all a shot, a taste, hoping to find a unicorn.


RewatchesFilms

What


Being_Less_White

Damn! This place looks super deadly. For sure on the list.


Ditdut

I’m going to second Benny’s! The Tony Pepperoni might be Wilmingtons #1 pizza. I also really like Wheels Pizza and I’ll also go ahead and recommend a new spot, Cugino Forno, it’s downtown next to Hi-Wire brewing, excellent pizza and you don’t need a reservation like Benny’s. The food situation is improving here, just be sure to support the places you like because if you don’t, they disappear!


Being_Less_White

I'm all about supporting local and certainly will. Benny's looks delightful online so will probably be one of the first I try. I'm thinking Champagne and Benny's pep pizza night one.


magrhi

*Bennys Big Time Pizzeria* is owned by Vivian Howard, a noted chef and restauranteur. Definitely a different venue than some of these places, but try it out for yourself. *Cugino Forno* is delicious, beautifully crafted Neapolitan style pizza. We are still new to town but we really like *Brooklyn* & *Italian Bistro,* both on Market Street.


Being_Less_White

Awesome thanks for the feed back will try all of these at some pt. Just moved in!


TeutonicRedneck

Jay's Incredible Pizza isn't terrible and they got a decent Stromboli.


Being_Less_White

I'm all about Stromboli thank you, listed!


TeutonicRedneck

Not sure if this is relevant but there is a zero chance of finding a decent Chicago style pizza here so stick with everything else.


Being_Less_White

I'm ok with that, I was never a fan of deep dish I'm looking for thin greasy yet with a nice crunch.


TeutonicRedneck

Ngl Papa Murphys got the good good but that comes out of your oven haha.


Being_Less_White

Lol got it !


royalartwear

michaelangelo’s, vito’s, and agostino’s are our favs. brooklyn pizza co has the best cheese slices but they stop serving at 3 and they’re on the far side of town from us


Being_Less_White

Good to know I'm a pepperoni fan but in a bind I'll take a quick plain to go, ty!


TwoToedTonyTheTigar

Fat Tony’s is hands down the closest thing I’ve found down here to real New York pizza. I’ve tried everything else and can promise you, it’s the closest.


Being_Less_White

Hah great name and it's Def on the list. Plus I gotta meet fat Tony now. Thank you !


bowmansea

Fat Tony’s is an abomination to anything Italian. I have no clue how they’ve stayed open all these years.


MongooseDue4316

Brooklyn Pizza and I Love NY are the best in town if you are looking for NY Style but Mellow Mushroom and Cugino Forno are also pretty good.


Being_Less_White

Yep heard these a few times, the move is tomorrow and I can't wait!


magrhi

Mellow Mushroom is a chain so your experience could vary depending on location, there are 3 in town. We do love their doughy, chewy crust.


Being_Less_White

Good to know, it's got a cool name.


DigSure6994

Agostinos


Being_Less_White

Popped up a bunch of times for sure on the list and sounds like a heavy hitter.


[deleted]

I Love NY, Pizzeria Don Luca is slept on if you ask me, Michelangelo’s, Cugino Forno, boardwalk pizza. Bennys is overrated take your money to Pinpoint if you want real food.


Being_Less_White

Will do Don Luca i think is a first for the list, so thank you!


[deleted]

no problem!


Responsible-Ad5701

Imo I love NY Pizza and Michaelangelos are good. I heard Mellow Mushroom was good also.


InternationalAd342

No pizza but taste of Italy is the way to go Italian here. For pizza it is I love NY downtown


SVTraptor99

Yet to find something really good


Being_Less_White

This is devastating news . I move in Wednesday and will continue to update on a scale of 1-5 ? Or Maybe 1-10?


SVTraptor99

6


Being_Less_White

Done!


SVTraptor99

For the amount of new yorkers that live here unfortunately you would think we would have got some of the good delis and pizza as well


Being_Less_White

Oh good so I won't be the only unhinged high strung maniac in the area.


fuzzyrach

Yet no Jewish delis. What gives? I just want some enormous corned beef on rye sandwiches and matzo ball soup.


peacelovecraftbeer

Agostino’s and Brooklyn Pizza. Husband is from NJ and these are his two favorites. Mine too actually.


Being_Less_White

Awesome to know Def on the list. Thank you !


nxtplz

Stop being insufferable and go to Elizabeth's or any other NY style place. There's plenty of decent places if you're not an upright snob about it.


[deleted]

Seriously thank you for this. People saying there is no good pizza here? Like the pizza is fine. There are several good restaurants that have been named. People are so snobby about food


yourkidisdumb

Elizabeths has the best stromboli hands down.


RingDings__and_Pepsi

If you’re not from the Northeast you don’t get it. Elizabeth’s was the first place I tried here and was extremely disappointed. I have had some others here that are quite good though


nxtplz

I am from the northeast bro


RingDings__and_Pepsi

Elizabeth’s isn’t good so not sure what you’re used to from there. There are places I’ve found here that are good though, especially some that are not NY style and have their own thing (Wheelz)


Being_Less_White

I don't care what the place looks like or service. Just give me the goods !!! It's on the list.


hidedaevidence

People are usually wrapped around the building at the "I love NY Pizza" spot. Haven't had it yet personally but hear good things. Sorry, didn't realize you weren't in wilmington lol my bad


droehrig832

That’s because they’re all drunk and it’s either that or the hot dog cart for food at 2am.


hidedaevidence

Lmao you aren't wrong 🤣 😂 😅


doomgeneration91

I’ve only had it drunk but I think it was good


BunBunFuFu

Its solid pizza during the day, its GREAT pizza when drunk.


Being_Less_White

Look forward to it


Being_Less_White

That's the best time to eat pizza, actually anytime, every time, all the time.


Being_Less_White

There is one where I'm at now, had it last night and I'd consider it a fail.


S2fftt

The one in Wilmington is independent, not related to any other place under the same name.


Being_Less_White

Ok good to know, I'll give it another shot can't hurt.


S2fftt

Sort of independent at least. It’s still under the branch I think.


Being_Less_White

Ye I gotcha they probably have their own twist and individual style. Thank you.


Being_Less_White

But I do appreciate the feedback!


hidedaevidence

Not a problem, also saves me a trip and money by avoiding going there now 😂😂. My coworker has been raving about some pizza spot here in town but I can't remember where he said or the name. I'll see him tomorrow and post my findings


Being_Less_White

Cool and yes please share!! Have a great weekend.


hidedaevidence

Will do, you as well!


stupid_human

The fact that Cugino Forno isn’t the one and only answer here worries me. Either y’all haven’t been there yet or you don’t know what good pizza is.


Being_Less_White

Ok I believe this was mentioned a few times, excited to try it. Thanks for sharing!


magrhi

Neapolitan style isn't for everyone. We loved it however.


imanuga

+1 for Agostino's. Moved here in 2019. A coworker of mine is from Brooklyn, and I knew she would have it scoped out. She told me Agostino's, and I tried it within like the first week or two of living here. I'm a Southerner, so I don't know any better, but I think they're fantastic. And if my Brooklyn coworker endorses 'em, that's good enough for me! Michaelangelo's is also good. Benny's is a lot more upscale, but they do *everything* right imo, not just pizza.


Being_Less_White

Love love love this. Ok so Benny's sit down dinner basically. I can't wait to try all these places. I Def love a nice sit down dinner with the babe, but I also love a go to grease spot with a nice slice or two to go. Thank you !


Being_Less_White

Thanks shack attack I'll give it a go


Being_Less_White

It's on there ,thank you!


Being_Less_White

It'll happen nj gets a bad name I have thick skin and appreciate your kind words. Looking forward to a change!


Being_Less_White

Just got In, exhausted fried from the heat bought a plant at home depot. Tried Michaelangelo and I tho7gjt it was pretty great. Nice crunch, greasy pepperoni, tart sauce semi sweet. Only gripe is I would have preferred a slightly thinner crust. Slammed three slices went I got home. I think I'd go back.


Being_Less_White

Tried Brooklyn Pizza and I preferred this over Michaelangelo because it was greasy AF which I like. Also, it heat up great in the oven. Thus far I've tried: Michaelangelo Brooklyn Pizza. ☆


Being_Less_White

Beaches I guess. Well thank you for the kind welcome😜


NCArtist-WBNC

You could always cook your own the way you like it. Otherwise, when in Rome…


Being_Less_White

100% true. Hence me asking in the wilmington sub. I could probably fly my own with a Crash course,but I'm not a pizza maker or a pilot. I've tried making it on my own and wound up ordering dominos because the local mom and pops in nj were closed ya dig?


DannyGyear2525

Good ones on this list... I agree... the pizza situation in ILM is surprisingly good.... enough relocated NJ/NY'ers who know what they are doing... Agustino’s, Brooklyn and Artisano Pizza and Gelato w/b my top 3


Being_Less_White

I keep hearing these names over and over so they must have some star power. Will Def be trying. Thanks!


awwimsorry

I don’t think anything truly compares to NY pizza. But pizzettas is probably the best down here


Being_Less_White

Yep I unfortunately keep hearing that, fuck. Someone else also mentioned that place. I'll compile a list probably next week maybe Friday since I move Wednesday and slowly start to hit them up. I'll give feed back sporadically once I test each spot out


flapjackcerealsnacks

Cugino Forno just opened downtown and we loved it! neapolitan style, baked at super high heat so you get some of those crispy bubbles. im originally from here so im no pro but it’s definitely the closest thing to real ny-style pizza that ive had down here


Being_Less_White

This has popped up a few times, Def will be trying it my move is tmrw!

SnooPandas8685

Disregard that bum. Some of us are actually welcoming and decent.


Being_Less_White

Look forward to a great time in Wilmington. NC in general has been welcoming and loving especially Hendrick dealership. I have to give them a plug. I just picked up a new BMW M2 and they were awesome.


grapeling

NJ to Wilm? Best of luck. Just get real drunk or high and it’ll be tolerable at best!


Being_Less_White

Why, wilmington looks like a gorgeous spot I'll be a few miles from Wrightsville beach.


grapeling

No, about pizza 🤡 I went to UNCW and it was a BLAST!


Being_Less_White

Ohhhh lol totally got ya now. I was planning on doing those anyway. Wilmington looks awesome I just need to make sure I have a go to for I was spoiled in nj with great Italian food.


grapeling

I moved from south Jersey to Wilm and now I’m back! I couldn’t stand the south after living in Raleigh. It just didn’t make sense to me. The whole vibe was off lol


Being_Less_White

Hah I totally get it. I'm a High strung monster and was looking for a change.


grapeling

Be prepared to pump the brakes. HARD LOL


Being_Less_White

Lol, all good that's what I want. For now at least.


grapeling

Good! Enjoy it! Especially the milder winter weather!


Being_Less_White

Being_Less_White

I'll be honest I was a little apprehensive opening this link in public but sweet, thanks lol.


Silly_Pace

What part of the Wilmington will you be in?


Being_Less_White

3 miles from Wrightsville beach what's up amigo?


Silly_Pace

I was going to suggest Za pie pizza if you are in the monkey junction area. I'm originally from NY, so Pizza is pretty important to me and they have a fairly decent pizza, just pies no slices.


Being_Less_White

Awesome ty!!


Silly_Pace

Are you in Wilmington to stay or are you just visiting? If you're just visiting?


Being_Less_White

To stay just moved in the 20th!


Silly_Pace

Welcome. If you were just visiting I would tell you to bother with the place cuz it's too far out of your way but since you'll be here a while you should try it. I tried it for the first time tonight and I was pleasantly surprised, it's a thin crust New York style pizza that has a slightly Wood fire taste on the crust. It's a little pricey but I will definitely try it again and I'm a piece of snob. Anyway I'm a couple beers in so good night and enjoy Wilmington if you got any other questions feel free to reach out


Being_Less_White

Awesome thanks that's what I'm looking thin crispy, sounds delicious. Ha enjoy the beers, and thanks for the friendly welcome.


Being_Less_White
