J & V Pizzeria

J & V Pizzeria Famous J&V Pizzeria in Brooklyn since 1950 ❤️🍕 “responsible for introducing pizza by the slice!” Just two Italian guys who loved cooking and truly enjoyed food.

J&V Pizzeria was founded by Johnny Mortillaro and Vincent DeGrezia in 1950. Johnny from Sicily and Vinny from Naples felt they would make a great team by combining their secret Italian recipes to come up with the best pizza in Bensonhurst and offer this to all their neighborhood. Johnny and Vinny were also responsible for introducing the idea of selling pizza by the slice, which made it easier to afford without having to buy the whole pie. They began selling slices through an open window in front of the pizzeria at 15 cents per slice and 5 cents for soda.

Thank you for the shout out!nomad Want to eat like the locals in nyc? Then ya better jump on the N and ride it down to 18th Ave in Bensonhurst🚇🍕🇮🇹
Bensonhurst has been one of my favorite neighborhoods in NYC for a loooong time, and though it has changed a bit over the years, its old school Italian-American charm seems to be here for the long run.🇮🇹🇺🇸 In Bensonhurst, you’ll hear people speaking Italian, and there are a lot of small mom & pop restaurants and bakeries. But my absolute favorite spots here are J&V pizzeria and Villabate Alba.💖

I love these spots so much that after I finished my first semester of law school in 2021, I took the train down here as a treat! If you swing by make sure to say hi to Vito (and tell him I sent ya!🍕). He’s Sicilian-born and has been running J&V for quite some time, and it’s well agreed upon amongst locals that no pizzeria offers that classic NY slice like they do.🍕🍕

At Villabate Alba, you’ll be greeted to an array of Sicilian desserts, like Iris, Cassata, cannoli, and even brioche con gelato (or granita in the summer). These two spots don’t shift and switch with trends, and instead are concrete institutions not only in Bensonhurst, but in NYC.🇮🇹💖🇺🇸
