I've eaten at L & B's many times. It's amongst my favorite places to get pizza in all of Brooklyn. I usually get the square pie, with thick dough, melted cheese and delicious tomato sauce on top. On occasion I've eaten a slice or two that wasn't the freshest but more often than not it's busy with people and the pizza is fresh out of the oven. But it's never the plastic-looking "sitting around all day" pizza that you find in many pizzerias. I give it a 9 out of 10!

L&B's Spumoni Gardens is world famous (in Brooklyn). A fixture in this neighborhood since 1939, on a warm summer night you will find large crowds gathered around the pickup windows and eating areas, and young Brooklynites double-parked, showing off their cars.

Their pizza is always fresh, crisp, and good-tasting, and they have enough ovens that you never have to wait for a pizza to cook. The main thing to come to L&B’s for, though, is their spumoni. They make their own and even supply it to other eateries around the NYC area. Many a time while driving far from the Gardens I've seen a sign in a window saying “We have L&B spumoni.”

One word of note: there is also a full service restaurant available, but it is best to avoid it. The food there is bland and nothing special (although the pizza is first rate).
