This place is so friendly and I love their food. Wait time is always reasonable and usually short but even if it’s not I enjoy sitting down at the table and waiting because the atmosphere is easygoing and comfortable. Their calzones are my absolute favorite but their pizza is also probably one of the best kinds of pizza I’ve had in Brooklyn. They also take cards which is a plus for me since I rarely carry cash. I would come here everyday if I could honestly, and 5 stars doesn’t seem to be enough stars.
I dont know if this is the same Caterinas pizza from 1977. The one I knew was on Shepherd Ave and Fulton St. I lived over Veruso Reality. That was back in 1978. Omg what memories. As I dont remember the owners name. The pizza was awesome. I live in Atlanta and nothing is a comparison. God bless and stay safe.
When placing the order the person who answered was very friendly. Delivery man was also very kind and friendly. The food was very good! Garlic knots were big and flavorful. The chicken Parmesan was everything I expected and more! I def recommend and I will be ordering again.
I have been going to this pizza place since I was in 3rd grade. Its as old school Brooklyn as you can get! Same Italian owner is still there after all these years being as funny as ever. Great pizza...but even better pasta dishes. Their chicken parmigiana is heaven (along with the warm Italian bread)! The portions are huge...easily enough food for 2 people. The fountain drinks... my favorite is the fruit punch...are sinfully sweet EXACTLY how I like it. Some argue that the pizza is the best in the entire area. I agree😋
Made a quick stop on the way home to eat-in with the family. Great pizza, owner is amazing (came out from behind the counter with toys for my girls when he saw the little one was crying and cheered her up). Ive grew up in this pizzeria and have been coming here since 1993. Its amazing to see its still being ran by the same caring owner.
Its a local pizza shop that I have been going to for years. Always has great food. Be warned in the summer and after school its becomes a hang out spot for teens to get a cheap meal, so your food might take a bit longer to get ready. They are open late Friday and Saturday night. The staff is super friendly and makes everything just the way you like it. They do deliver, but I usually order over the phone and walk over and get it.
Great tasting pizza and usually great service. I’ve been ordering for decades. Today I order a large pie, got the wrong order, and cold. I called back to tell them it was wrong and the person over the phone got irate and says “thats what I ordered because thats what he wrote on the paper”. I’m a vegetarian and I didn’t order meat on the pizza but thats what he said I ordered.
So ive been comming to this place since i was a little girl. today i brought my daughters in because my little one won a student of the month award and with that, ps108 gives them a coupon for free pizza n soda. im always at work so today we had time to come and claim the coupon. my little girl was so excited she did good and was gonna get her pizza reward. we get to the shop and the guy asked me how can he help me, so i asked if theyre still redeeming the awards. (student of the month) he tells me yes to write her name on the coupon since it was blank stapled to the award (just like the school gave it me)i didnt have a pen and i have a back injury on top of being 7 mths pregnant so i didnt want to walk all the way to the car and since the guy was actively making pizza i waited to tell another worker if i can borrow a pen to write it with. this older lady comes to me and i show her the award and ask her for the pen she takes it from me, takes off the coupons and then goes into the 50 questions about why the name wasnt on there and all this other stuff. i explained that the school gave it to me attached to the award ive never redeemed one of these b4 and so i dont know why they didnt write a name and that i figured since it was attached to the actual award with her name on it, i didnt see the issue. besides the school staff member said to just go to the shop w it and that they would know . apparently not. long story short...she didnt give her the pizza because the coupon didnt have a name and i guess im expected to go back to the school for them to write it in smh ...my daughter went home crying not understanding y she didnt get what she earned, despite having her proof. so to make up i had to make her pizza at home. way to kill a childs spirit. im so disappointed ive been comming here so long and to be treated like i was scamming on some free school coupon or like im begging for a hand out is ridiculous. i wont be comming here anymore!
Its neighborhood pizza. Not bad, not spectacular. Its good. The salads are made fresh and are tasty. My only complaint are the zeppoles...clearly made well ahead of time in large batches and kept in a large tupperware in back. Refried to warm up. Stale and hard to chew. The only thing fresh about them is the dusting of powdered sugar put on them before you pay. Gordon Ramsay would be appalled. Ill stick with a slice or 2 since this area of Fulton in Cypress doesnt have much else to offer.
Very annoyed.. I ordered a pie..the order came out wrong. I contacted the owner and another associate over the phone and they kept saying that I ordered something else. Thats not customer service. Instead of me bringing it back now come thru dont offer to fix another and have it ready when I come by. I should not have come back. I used to come there for years and this is what happens. Worse part is I get hungry up on.. And I was nice and cheerful over the phone. Very disappointed.
I love Caterina pizza. My aunt introduced me to it as a child. Now in my 40s its actually the same owner from since i was a kid still running the place which is probably a big reason why the food is so delicious and quality. He has to have been there for over 30 years. Matter of fact he has because I asked him one day and he told me so. The owner seems like hes from the old school when people actually cared more about presenting a quality product then about making a quick buck selling horrible food. Caterina pizza in my opinion actually taste better than some of these more popular big name franchises. If they had an option to give 10 stars i would.❤❤❤❤
The food was honestly really amazing. I couldnt pick what to eat, because what ever they made from scratch..... was and still is very delicious. Thank you! The food was awesome! Ohh and one more thing! Caterina Pizza makes everything with extra....like a slice a pizza is twice as big as any other pizza near by!
The delivery driver came to the wrong address when I specifically told him the correct one. I did receive a call telling me to come outside, thats when I noticed he was all the way lost. I saw him almost sit my pizza down on one of those things they build around trees on the sidewalk, and Im like.....Really! Anywho...I met him down the block and it was SO WORTH IT. PIZZA WAS BANGING!! Mere suggestion....COMMUNICATION IN YALL STORE, I DONT WANT NO PIZZA THATS BEEN SAT ON A DIRTY SURFACE. Overall, if they had delivered to my door, the pizza couldnt have been better! Slept well and sound😀
So we are moving into this area and me and husband went in for a sandwich waited for 30 min then we rem we needed food for our son at home we ask for another slice the employee fling his hands up in the air and said dame uou should have told me before now u gotta make a new one and food was just ok but I never going there again bad rude customer service
Lived on Arlington Ave for years. Joined the military and now live out of state. Recently visited Vito with my wife who absolutely loved the pizza. He was friendly and hospitable like always. Gave us t-shirts :-) In which I wear proudly and brag about Brooklyn pizza. Have been eating their pizzas since they (Vito &Sal) first opened in 1977 on Shepherd and Fulton. Pizza is still the BEST! Travel or Food channels should visit and do a story. Definitely a New York landmark!
Found a dead fly on my pizza as soon as I opened up the package, was immediately disgusted. When I went back to confront them about it, the owner was acting as if I put it there and didnt want to give me my money back. I will not be eating there again and I would advise you not eat there either.
The best pizza from my neighborhood growing up was a coin tose.. BEST PIZZA In Brooklyn East New York/ Cypress Hills section if not then in the whole NYC. I grew up in the ENY neighborhood and as kids we always argued who had the best pizza on Fulton st! (It was pizza wars) lol there were 4 main pizza joints down Fulton st in ENY...•Trinacria Pizza2788 Fulton st & Van Siclen Ave 11207•We called it Cleveland pizzaria2957 Fulton st & Cleveland Ave 11208•Caterina Pizza3035 Fulton st & Essex st 11208•Mikes Pizza3337 Fulton st & Cresent stI was always on Van Siclen Ave so I was team Trinacria until the owner Franks wife past away in the mid to late 90s. The store was shut down 4 a few day then reopened a couple days maybe a wk later. So frank took an offer in the early 2000s and gone out the restaurant buisness... I went to Caterina and had a 🍕 of life!! Me and my friend Jospeh stopped by for a quick snack; that quick snack became the regular for us... A 🍕 of life was introduced!! Even getting to know the creator himself Vinny! Vinnys always talked to his costumers and was very kind Italian guy with a smile on his face all the time. I also remember his wife or so I thought it was his wife... lol but she was very nice aswell. I loved that she had thos curly hair look all the time reminding me of my past. Overall the winner was and still till today is Caterina in 2018.Trinacria is now a chicken joint/pizzaCleveland pizzaria is noe a liquor storeMikes pizza still standsBut as far as 6.5.2018 CATERINA WINSTake a trip and taste review for yourself!BUT I TOLD YOU!!
Just ordered and I must say I am very upset with the delivery service .. delivery man had the audacity to complain that I didnt answer my phone when I literally called him back within the minute he called me and was downstairs 2mns later . . I have a newborn so its difficult for me to leave my house for food and I didnt expect this rudeness.. food is good but better service means more ..highly disappointed .
Caterina pizza was first started on sheppard and fulton. I used to go past that pizzeria when wed go to play baseball at Highland park. Sal & Vito were working there as bus boys and eventually owned that location. As time went on they bought the place on Fulton st and theyre still there. Every time I visit NY I have to stop buy and get my favorite pizza. God Bless Vito and Sal. Thanks for the memories.
The food I ordered was delicious and it was delivered hot and within 30 minutes.The only problem was that it was delivered by a very rude obnoxious man who was demanding that I give him a larger tip than what I had already given him.I was disgusted by his behavior and will never order from here again as long as he is employed there.

2021-07-04The best pizza I ever tasted. I bought 3 different types of pizza and they were delicious. Marina pizza delicious. A slice that they dont carry but they made it for me, with ricotta, spinach and extra cheese, delicious. Also a regular slice and it had so much flavor. Usually pizzeria are so cheap with the sugar when you order zeppoli not here they drench with sugar and I didnt have to ask for more sugar. 100 out of 100 for me. And no they not paying me to say it. The only thing I didnt like is that they tell you one price and when you go to pay with your debit card they charge you extra because he stated the machine automatically charges you an 8 point Something charge. Never seen that in my life. The machine enters the amount you put in. The pizza was so good I would I didnt care afterwards.

2022-02-17Came from Miami and wanted that authentic New York style pizza. The meatball pizza was great! Also the calzone was good too. Ill recommend out of towners who are looking for pizza to just come here if youre in Brooklyn.
