"While its round pie is certainly as good as any other, the real reason to hit L&B is for its Sicilian pie. It's square, it's thick, and it's famously constructed "upside down" - that is, with the cheese on the bottom and the tomato sauce on top. The unique order of ingredients leads to a moist, fluffy crust that's still perfectly crispy on the bottom and corners."
"L&B's Sicilian slices also stand out for their sauce. The rich topping is the first thing to hit your taste buds, delivering a concentrated, tomato-y taste with a distinct sweetness to it. The subtle infusion of garlic, meanwhile, supplies a dash of tang. Together, the flavors temper any lingering acid, creating a sauce you can (and will) go back for again and again."
L&B Spumoni Gardens, established in Gravesend, Brooklyn in 1939 by Ludovico Barbati after selling spumoni from a horse-drawn carriage, expanded into a pizza joint, Italian ice stand, and sit-down red sauce restaurant with expansive outdoor seating. The Sicilian pie is the standout, a square, thick pie constructed "upside down" with sliced mozzarella on the bottom and tomato sauce on top. This order produces a moist, fluffy interior with a perfectly crispy bottom and corners and a gooey pull from the mozzarella. The sauce offers a concentrated tomato flavor, distinct sweetness, and subtle garlic that tempers acidity and invites repeat servings.
