Carmine's

I came here because I just wanted another spot to try. The penne vodka pizza was easily a 9/10. The pepperoni was a strong 7/10. So I rate my overall experience here a 8/10. Very very good pizza. Crunchy and tasty. I would def come back here again.

I ran in here looking for a quick slice, not expecting to find a gem! To my surprise this is a pizzeria, bakery, and cafe all in one. The staff is very friendly and attentive. There is a wide variety of food, baked goods and coffee. The pizzeria opens up into their restaurant, which looks really nice (but I’ll get into that when I visit the restaurant). I had a wood fired margarita slice and the lasagna slice. Both were tasty and done really well. The marinara on the margarita was vibrant and flavorful while the lasagna tasted like home made lasagna my mom used to make. There was plenty of seating there. I can’t wait to stop in an again and try something else. Maybe the garlic knot chicken parm pizza. Don’t forget to grab a cannoli or maybe some gelato on the way out to enjoy at home. I was really impressed. If you’re in the area, stop in Food: 5 | Service: 5 | Atmosphere: 5 Seating type: in a addition to tables there is countertop seating here at the care area Vegetarian options: plenty of vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: the staff seemed very accommodating Parking space: no designated parking area Parking options: street parking can be tricky here Wheelchair accessibility: this restaurant is wheelchair accessible

Great family friendly neighborhood restaurant. This was my second time visiting and breaking bread with my extended family. The first was to celebrate my godmother's 91st birthday but she fell ill and couldn't attend. This time my brother's and I gather to eat and toast my big brother who transitioned on Wednesday. Hard is an understatement as he too enjoyed spending time at Carmine's. The food is delicious! The waitstaff is polite, warm and friendly. Really cool neighborhood spot.

Ordered a burrata hot honey pepperoni square slice and it was great I want to go back for another. Got it to go and ate it at the bar.

I do not often feel moved to write reviews, but this pizzeria has the most garlicky garlic knots I have ever eaten. Incredible.

There food has been a constant staple in Williamsburg for over 40 years. I recommend the cold antipasto and also the chicken parm with linguini

Back in the early 2000s we would visit Carmine’s at least once a week. Haven’t been back to the old neighborhood in ages, so we made sure to visit our favorite Brooklyn pizza spot. Perfect crust and burn-your-mouth toppings hit the spot. Slices are always large! Grabbed a beer at the bar and took in the nostalgia.

This is one of my favorite pizza places in all of New York City. They've been doing it for a long ass time, and they do it right. I recently had family in town, friends in town, and Carmine's is happily my treat. They all love it. Because of course they do, I would tell them something was wrong with them if they didn't.

Another great dinner 11 of us after the Giglio feast. Pasta with clams Zucchini with marinara sauce and lemon Chicken marsala Pizza Salad with fresh Mozzarella

Carmine's is THE pizzeria in East Williamsburg. I miss the homemade Italian dishes they used to have up front when this place was smaller ... their expansion to the next-door sports bar changed the old-school family vibe this place had 20 years ago. I hope it's a successful biz model, because I hope Carmine's never disappears. I will always keep coming out on the L and make an excuse to stop at Graham Ave for this slice. Great brick oven, and high quality ingredients. The pepperoni, soppresatta, and sausage have personality. Great eggplant slice... "Ben Frank" slice is a perfect take on the margherita style, fresh flavorful basil. The wood-fired oven is perfect. The classic thin crispy vibe is there, but they keep their slices a little floppier than some other places. I think it really works for this style, because the dough is delicious and blends well with their sauce/cheese proportions. And Carmine's sauces can be put on the top shelf, in the conversation with all the more famous pizzerias you've heard about in Brooklyn. Great job with the pesto, the vodka sauce, and cacio pepe. They have some inventive slices too. So many different grandma's. Burrata with honey? Yes please. This place makes me want to try everything on the menu. I get the feeling they are really next-level, when it comes to the homemade sauces. NEW YORK PIZZA RAT APPROVED !

Get the baby pepperoni Sicilian absolute perfection. Cheaper prices for cash payment. Quick service, and lotsssss of choices.

Great local find for Lunch/pre game before a concert close by. Casual locals restaurant sports bar. Plenty of free and metered parking available on Saturday afternoon. Parking during the weekdays is very difficult in the area. Service at the bar was fantastic as was the Pizza and Stromboli. The Stromboli is tremendous and serves at least 3. The pizza was delicious and fresh made with quality ingredients. I would not hesitate to return when I am in the area.

Fantastic slice shop/pizza delivery spot! I often order full pies from here for delivery, and I have to say the only reason I'm docking a star here is because as compared to some other pizzerias in the city, their pies don't hold up QUITE as well taste/texture-wise after sitting around for a bit in the delivery process. But as far as the slices pictured that I ate recently while in the shop, no notes -- absolutely wonderful, flavorful, filling pizza. I especially liked the tri-color slice as the combination of sauces was nothing short of perfection. In-house service is great, slices come out fast. Delivery can take a bit but overall it's a great pizza so worth the wait! The ambiance in the shop itself is also very fun, there's limited seating but it shares a door with a neighboring bar (of the same name I believe) that I have yet to check out fully but certainly adds to the atmosphere. From the outside it sure looks like a fun and lively bar.

This review is long overdue. Carmine's is my go to pizza place when I'm craving a slice or slices. Always fresh, delicious and satisfying. But Carmine's is much more than pizza. Their pasta dishes are amazing as well.

Great spot for Sicilian Pizza! I came on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't crowded at all. They had just brought a lot of the pizzas out too. I got my food quickly, and sat down at one of the few tables in the pizzeria. I think they have more seats in the back, connected to the restaurant. The walls were lined with baseball memorabilia. I ordered several slices: * Pepperoni and Vodka Sicilian Slice - 9/10 - This was my favorite slice. The pepperoni got really crispy in the oven and the crust was fluffy in the middle and crunchy on the bottom. My only gripe is that it was pretty greasy. * Tricolor Grandma Slice - 8.5/10 - The three sauces, pesto, vodka, and tomato, tasted fresh and homemade. The grandma style crust is thinner than the Sicilian, but I prefer the fluffiness of the Sicilian. * Barbecue Chicken Sicilian Slice - 7.5/10 - I liked the crust and chicken, but the particular barbecue sauce they used had a weird aftertaste. * Chicken Parmesan Sandwich on a Garlic Knot - 7.5/10 - I like the idea of this sandwich, but the execution could use some improvement. The garlic knot wasn't crispy enough and was too greasy. The mozzarella cheese on the sandwich wasn't melted either. Overall, I would come again if I'm in the neighborhood and wanted a quick bite. It's not the cheapest pizza, but I think it's worth the price.

12/30/23: After funeral looking for someplace to eat and decided upon Carmines. They have a pizza and many items to go and a larger dining area. The oven is nice touch and makes it homey and cosy in the dining area. Shrimp Scampie had a lemony aftertaste wasn't to my liking asked for some vodka sauce which made it more appealing. We had calamari, delicious and the marinara sauce equally yummy. Pizza definitely one of the best I've had. Also had a round of shots. Wait staff all pleasant friendly and engaging. All in all great dine had by all. Would definitely return.

Very fast pizza spot. The two Sicilian pieces I got were chicken broccoli and vodka sausage. Although I enjoyed the vodka sausage a lot, I did not find the chicken broccoli as good mainly due to the broccoli (which I had not tried on pizza before). It definitely added a weird texture and was not super flavorful so I did not find it to be as tasteful. The vodka sausage was amazing and really felt like I was eating pasta on a pizza

If Carmines goes away, I will cry. Tho I'm not a fan of when the front sports bar gets raucous, that's also part of its charm. And it's not constant. This place is tasty Italian American food, super super friendly service even when it's chaotic inside. The price and amount of food is great, good brick oven pizza and entrees, with a heavily Italian American crowd while welcoming to all. The mini grandma pizza is a recent discovery for me after years ignoring its existence- and I sort of became obsessed!

Carmines is like an old friend. The ambience is half sports bar/half old school pizzeria. The pizza variety is tremendous and tasty. It may be the only place can grab brick oven pizza by the slice. The entrees are nothing to sleep on either. The staff is absolute friendliest. It also doesn't hurt when you visit so much that they learn your name. Definitely worth a trip!

Very good food, Great place to eat and watch the game. Good service. What more can you ask for..

Pizza here is pretty excellent and it's easy to grab on the way home. Their tomato sauces are homemade and tasty.

Let's talk slices. In nyc is super important to find the right slice. In the rest of the US you just do what you can with what they have. Carmines has one of the best regular slices I've had. Amore in flushing is number 1. There are several number 2s and carmines is one of them. Also love Gloria's and Rosas. Austin street pizza is coming up fast in the list. However beside slices Carmines has great food in a sit down restaurant also. Thanks !!!!

This is by far the best pizza i've ever had. i'm not from new york tho so take that with a grain of salt. i loved how it was salty and not sweet, n the cheese was fr here to SHINE $8 for 2 slices n right next to the subway station. also great if u want a quick bite before heading over to a show at brooklyn steel!

Looks like Carmine's portions are shrinking, but the prices are either staying the same or going up! I was looking forward to my loved eggplant tower, and it was served to me on a plate slightly larger than the bread plate. For $14.95, I asked my waiter if it was just me. Apparently, the kitchen put it on a "smaller" plate. Yeah...sure. I doubt it. Check out my picture of what it USED to look like from 3 years ago. Don't be fooled. I will not be coming back anytime soon; incredibly disappointed. There's plenty of places around here I haven't tried yet, and now seems like the perfect time.

Always love going to Carmine and Sons Pizza when I'm in the area. It's been many years since I lived in Brooklyn but always remembered going here when I was younger. Their food is great and the wood fired oven pizza is awesome. I've tried most of their specialty slices and would recommend any of them. They have a great bar and plenty of TVs to hang out, have a drink and watch your favorite team. LETS GO YANKS!! The staff is very friendly, attentive and always make you feel welcome. Enjoy!!

O....M....G.... DELICIOUS!! So I'm not one to ease drop on other peoples convos, but I heard 2 guys ordering a slice called "Giglio" and raving about it. I took one look at it and KNEW it was made for me. The Giglio has onions, peppers and sausage aka some of my favorite things on the planet!! It was love at first bite!! If you want a pizza that is going to possibly blow you away, this is the ticket! Plus I was so full after, which, considering how expensive takeout is in general now, I think it was well worth the price. Overall, this pizza was top tier. One of the best I've had in NYC for sure. I HIGHLY recommend. Enjoy!

Soooooooo disgusted!! I've eaten here multiple times before, and last night when my food arrived, a ROACH crawled out of my box! It came out of the foil that my garlic knots were in. I had to kill the roach and dispose of everything. I was starving when I ordered it, and ended up with absolutely no appetite and just went to bed. It either came from the restaurant itself, or from the commute-- which I honestly doubt. Even if it ended up getting in there during the commute, they should've given it in a paper, or plastic bag to protect the food. I am so disappointed and still feel uneasy.

My honey ordered me and my son the housemade meat lasagna from here last night 2/2/2024 on Uber Eats it was pretty good. I enjoyed it,the portion was perfect. I had enough to save for today. the only thing is it was pretty dry in the middle. I love a saucy lasagna it had a good amount of sauce around the beginning parts of the dish, but once you got in the middle, it was little to no sauce. My son enjoyed his,he didn't eat all of it which was shocking he's 15 and got a big appetite but he wanted to save his for today as well it came with four pieces of soft italian bread very delicious and fresh.I would definitely order from here again I would just tell them to make sure it has alot of sauce in the middle as well

My husband comes here a-lot for the sports. So we can for dinner on a Saturday night it was not busy we were seated right away. We had 4 small kids with us i loved that they brought out water for the in plastic cups with lids. They brought out bread 2x, without being asked these kids were hungry lol . We ordered the tri color pizza. ( my husband raves about it) it was good i love the corner pieces. We also had potato croquettes they were good but a bit small for the price i thought. Two kids are regular pizza . No complaints. One kid ordered chicken fingers 3 chicken fingers for $8.95 wow. I had wine hunny had whiskey. I would've given 5 stars but we had to keep looking for someone for water and napkins. I personally get annoyed when i have to look for my waiter /server

Pretty good slices here- highlights are definitely the wood fire options, the char, flavor, and texture of the thinner square slices hit the spot. The Sicilian slices were ok, good variety on them. Could have had more flavor/spices on the crust. Pretty steep prices, but definitely better than your cheaper joints.

Went here for the first time as I was craving vodka sauce and looked up a few spots on Yelp and found this one! It's a dive bar with lots of tvs and a pretty big space. We got bread for the table which I enjoyed and penne vodka for the meal and also a pizza. The vodka sauce was pretty delicious compared to what I was expecting since it wasn't a very traditional Italian spot. Prices were also great!

Once again, Carmine's Pizzeria has outdone themselves !!!! I just picked a Sicilian slice of pizza with extra Cheese, Sausage and Pepperoni . And it's simply Delicious. The crust is very crunchy, the toppings fresh and tasty. And the extra cheese was Perfection... If you ever get a chance to stop by Carmine's Pizzeria definitely try their Pizza and Heroes. You won't be disappointed... Highly Recommend A+++++ ...

Sweetie and I are in Brooklyn celebrating his birthday. We walked up to Carmine's from our cute little hotel, passing approximately 20 weed/smoke shops, as well as bakeries, coffee shops, and a bookstore. Have I mentioned how much i love this town? Carmine's is the pizzeria you imagine when you say, in a longing and wishful tone, "man, I want some real NY pizza." The pizza counter has a generous variety of types. I got the eggplant slice and the wood fired Grandma Tri-color, sweetie got the spinach-artichoke on a Sicilian-style crust, and a slice of caprese too. The caprese was studded with 2 types of whole olives and halved cherry tomatoes. The eggplant was practically thin as potato chips, crisp where they stuck out of the cheese. The tri-color with a big swatch of pesto was indescribably delicious. The spinach slice tasted so fresh, the flavors of the spinach and the artichoke both coming through clearly. The regular, wood fired, and Sicilian-style crusts each had their own distinctive weight, texture, each a mix of chewy and crunchy in a different way. I regret that I cannot live in this dining room for the remainder of my natural life. As for the small details: it's clean and nice. The bathroom was spotless. There are no stairs to enter, so it's as handicap-accessible as anywhere in NY. There's no parking whatsoever; just take Metro and save yourself the headache. The G and the L both would work.

Update: ive had 1000 vodka pizzas and penne a la karens since my last review - still delicious. Tried the chicken marsala - YUM. Picture doesn't do it justice imo. I also tried the lasagna and I didn't love it I thought it just needed something more. Overall still obsessed with this place!!!

Loved everything about this place, such a hip pizzeria / restaurant vibe! Takes me back to an episode of the Sopranos. The food was absolutely delicious, service was good and ambience was super chilled.

Carmines is my first choice when it comes to choosing what pizzeria to have for dinner. Ever since I moved from Long Island to brooklyn almost 6 years ago when I married my queen, I just had to find the best pizza in brooklyn. Out of many pizza places that I have tried Carmines pizzeria never disappointments. I probably ordered from them 20 times or more and I have never been disappointed. Everything from the sauce to the cheese to the ingredients they use, components of a perfect pizza compliments one another and gives you the true taste of fine brooklyn pizza. Also, the pizza comes in clutch on date nights, so if you tryna do a date night at the crib, the pizza goes hand in hand with some wine and your lady will smile with approval. Do yourself a favor and order this delicious pizza. I guarantee you wont regret it.

I've been coming here since I was a kid. This restaurant has such a warm cozy feel. The food is amazing. Meatball parm is to DIEEEE FORR. All servers are nice, makes you feel like family.

Best pizza outside of Manhattan. Been coming here for years. Even after I left the neighborhood. Great place. Great people. This is an institution of culinary excellence.

Just had the best chicken cacciatore! This is a local gem that always exceeds expectations. Nice sized portions, reasonably priced and off the chart delicious .

Ok so we ordered from Carmines pizzeria last week bracease I saw they had that tiny spicy pepperoni cup lol and I had to have it!!! You know how it is :) now the delivery was nice and fast so the pizza was still hot!!! Now the pizza was freaking good!!! Hahaha it's call BABY Pepperonis pizza in their menu ;) and the dough was soft and the sauce was flavorful!!! So I recommend getting this specific pie!! :) yummyyy

Solid pizzeria with a ton of options. I typically try a new slice every time I go, really can't go wrong. The bar has a bunch of TVs and typically full during big games.

This was the worst unauthentic Italian I've had in a long time. The salads were crafted from salad from a drum and the plastic cheese you get from a bag. The straight-up canned sauce tasted like tomato acid and water had a baby. The cheap wholesale calamari was dumped right from the bag to fryer, with no pepper or spice, with the watery pizza sauce accompanying it. The only reason I think people come here is to watch the games and drink, because it can't be the good .

Carmine's! I've been going there for four years and ordering lots and lots of takeout, too! I just ate a chicken parm sandwich - seemed like it was made with chicken bacon! And I don't mean chicken and bacon, I mean chicken bacon. So thin- as if it was cut on a slicer - then dried and fried to death. Everything else is great. Please fix your chicken parm!!

Ordered several large pies for a group of 24 people to be delivered to Area53 (paintball) close by. Everyone seemed to love the pizza hence the 4 stars. Def try the Tri color grandma pie! It seemed to be a hit. One star was deducted for the following reasons: 1. I requested if each pizza could be labeled and they were not (maybe too much to ask). 2. There were no lentils in my lentil soup lol. Pic of the so called "lentil soup below." It was more noddles than anything else. This was the only thing I could have that night so I ended up having nothing! I'm still hungry as I write this post. 3. Finally I also removed a star because absolutely no plates or not even ONE napkin was provided. I specifically asked if plates and napkins could be provided in the comments section. Def would have paid extra to get what I needed. Thank god I'm a planner and had napkins and plates for the large party of 24 on standby. I feel like gone are the days of good customer service. Why have a comment section if you're not going to read it ‍. Idk maybe I asked for too much given covid. When are we going to stop blaming everything on covid ? Okay rant done! Still gave a four star although I had nothing to eat cuz the pizza was on point.

The front of restaurant was rocking at the bar with tv's showing Knicks and ball games.The back where tables are were nice and the seafood platter for two was the best i ever had with lobster clams mussels and shrimp over linguine.Highly recommend.

You must stop by & grab a slice - or two! This place is a few steps away from the L line on Graham & is pretty easy to locate. I popped in for a quick dinner on the way to catch a Broadway show. I ordered the cheese pizza & one pepperoni pizza. I got my food fairly quickly & sat at the counter, enjoying the food. I didn't feel rushed to eat & give up my seat at any point. The pizza was perfection - good quality NY pizza with affordable prices. I would definitely come here often if I lived in NY!

Update 5: Eggplant parm slice. Imagine an eggplant roll but deconstructed onto a slice with dollops of fresh ricotta. Who doesn't like eggplant parmigiana? Fresh and and great tasting as always. If you see this slice on display you get it.

Carmine's is the real deal. Their toppings are generous without making the pizza floppy or overly greasy and the bottom crust is always perfectly cooked. If you're not feeling pizza they also serve about every other Italian dish you could want, plus bar food. The business itself is a no-frills type of joint which is how you know it's legit. The left side is a slice shop and where you pick up to-go orders, and the right side is a sit-down restaurant/sports bar.

Carmine's is a great neighborhood slice shop with tons of variety. You can get vodka sauce, ranch, hamburger style pizza, or classics like pepperoni and mozzarella. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that the pizza feels heavier than other slice shops like Best Pizza. Still delicious

Best pizza in the east Williamsburg area. I also really enjoy the spaghetti and meatballs and went through a stage where I ordered it every Sunday. I always get the Carmine's favorite pizza and the Broccoli Rabe And Sausage Rice Balls are divine. Delivery service is friendly and on time. Have not dined in so can't speak to ambiance. Always satisfied and love ordering from here.

Honestly, I've been avoiding going to Carmine's..... A couple years ago, while eating at Emmy Squared with some friends, a man told me I was wrong and that Carmine's is the best pizza in NYC. In shock, I told him that we had different opinions about what the best pizza place is and that's okay. However I felt strongly that he didn't know shit about pizza. Now, I know, you can't say anything until you try it yourself so here I was, in Ubereats, looking for some new pizza options. Carmine's finally pops up and says it's available. Some background, Carmine's doesn't typically deliver to our area in Bushwick. So I thought, here's my chance. We order the baby pepperoni Sicilian. Basically the roni cups. Now, I can't lie. That looks amazing. Tons of little baby pepperonis, holding just enough grease in each little cup. They even threw some basil on top. Cut into 8 squares, that looks pretty perfect. I take my first bite and I don't want to say I was disappointed, but I guess I was a little underwhelmed. The pizza is good, but I would say that the flavor was lacking a bit. The pepperoni is very thinly sliced. I'm use to thick cuts of spicy pepperoni so I felt kinda robbed. The cheese and the sauce were average. The crust was fine. Overall, a pretty average pizza. I would give it a 5 out of 8 slices. I probably will have to keep searching for my new favorite Sicilian.

Loved this pizza joint which was recommended by someone to me. I sat and ate mine at the old-style counter. I will happily try more slices next time!

Ordered delivery on a Sunday at 6:30, order arrived at 7:40. This was within the time frame indicated, but pizza arrived cold and french fries were soggy. The cheesesteak is advertised as "with Philly steak and classic cheese" but they used Cheez-whiz for mine. The bread was hard as well, not normal cheesesteak roll. Overall a pretty mediocre experience. They do have a lot of different foods available to order, so maybe some are better than others, but my choices tonight weren't great.

Surprisingly, there werent that many Italian restaurants in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. The one we wanted to go to was closed on Monday and Tuesday. So we opted for Carmine's. And we made the right decision. Not only do they have a pizza joint, they also have a sit down area with full table service where you can not only get pizza, but also italian favorites. I got the ravioli and veal parm, with a side of garlic bread. Everything was pretty good. The veal could have been a little more tender. But the flavors were there. The garlic bread was yummy. I also ordered a tiramisu, to go. Unfortunately, I forgot it when I left the restaurant. BUT, since I was staying only a few blocks away, I walked back to the restaurant and got it. I can't give a review on it, as I have not consumed it yet. Service was great. Glad we made the right choice on where to go.

Good food Excellent customer service. Wood oven pizza .....Exellent.... The ambiance very chill and good

Love Carmines. I go all the time. My favs are the Giglio pie and the moneybags pasta. And you can't forget the Manhattan special neva nevaaa.

Love this pizzeria, everything I have tried here was always fresh and delicious. Nice range and variety of slices, sandwiches, pasta, salads and dessert treats. Typically there's not much of a wait time and the price point is fair. There's also a bar and a dining room attached to the pizzeria if your in the mood to sit down or enjoy some live sports on the TVs. I have been coming here for a few years and it's one I'll be back to I'm sure. You like pizza? This is probably the best pizza on Graham Avenue! Enjoy.

My first NY pizza experience visiting Brooklyn from San Francisco. Wow, delicious pizza, we ordered two grandmas one pepperoni and one with the three drizzled sauces - my mouth was rejoicing and asking for more. I couldn't stop eating, my mouth wanted more. The flavor of the sauce and the toppings and the fact that the slices are square and pack so much flavor, and the melty gooey cheese. We also ordered their house salad and wings - both did not disappoint either. Very good food and excellent service. Definitely going back on next visit. You need to try this place it will not disappoint
