Joe & Sal's Pizza

"This antique closet of a space in Crown Heights belies the young age (two or three years) of this pizzeria, but that is because it was once a much older place called Nino’s. Make a beeline for the Sicilian slice, which is thick, square, bready, greasy, and altogether wonderful — a paragon of its type unmatched in the neighborhood (though there’s another branch of Joe & Sal’s in Fort Greene." - Robert Sietsema

"This Crown Heights slice shop has a serious pizza pedigree. Joe worked at places like Motorino and Una Pizza Napoletana, while Sal hails from the family that ran the now-closed Little Louie’s Pizzeria. But what they’re doing together at their shop is decidedly their own. You’ll find very good examples of things like grandma slices and burrata pies as well as stuff that feel a bit more unique, like the “crown chicken pizza,” which combines the flavors of BBQ chicken and jalapeno poppers. " - Willa Moore, Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Kenny Yang

But what they’re doing together here is decidedly unique. You’ll find very good examples of grandma slices and burrata pies, as well as more experimental stuff, like a pie that combines the flavors of BBQ chicken and jalapeño poppers. There’s limited seating, and a whole wall of name tag stickers. We don’t know why, but it’s fun." - Kenny Yang, Bryan Kim, Nikko Duren, Hannah Albertine, Matt Tervooren
