This place is cool! Really tight spot, nice atmosphere and damn good wood fired pizza! Cash only tho so take some dubs with ya!!!
Lucky to have this eatery so close to my apartment. Wonderful atmosphere, tasty on-point fare and way friendly, generous staff.
Delicious creamy, cheesy risotto, fabulous pizza, good wine, friendly owners and staff. Ended with lemoncello. Prices good too. This neighborhood is lucky. Go.
First time in Brooklyn. Got snow cancelled at JFK and ended up at the Hotel RL across the street (which is decent by the way). Stumbled across the street and wow, what a treat. Great artisan pizza, great wine. A shitty day just got a whole lot better.
Great sit down pizza, with great atmosphere & a great staff. The food & desserts are fantastic & delicious. Highly recommended
Amazing food, great atmosphere, and a very attentive and beautiful staff. It's great for just a drink with a friend or a lovely dinner. I've been twice already and will definitely be back. Try the ortolana pizza and the Rosso dei Notri wine. And be sure to save room for dessert--they always change, but those I've tried have been delicious!! So happy to have you guys in the neighborhood!! xx
Probably the best italian restaurant in town.
I am Italian and I can tell!
Food is tasty and the crew is even better :)
I definitely had a great experience.
Highly suggested!!!
Fantastic food in an adorable space owned by wonderful people! Could not recommend it more highly!
Simply amazing. Finally a place where you can eat the authentic italian pizza. Great service, wonderful environment: it has been a perfect experience. I will surely come back soon.
Not being local in NY, we found this place by accident. Amazing food, really nice staff and great interior. Try it if you have the chance, very worth it.
����� la surprise.... un français pour nous accueillir.... et traduire la carte... pizza au top !!! Délicieux......et chaleureux autant que leur sourir . a faire sans hésiter..... merci
Amazing place in Brooklyn, cozy and cool at the same time :) and, of course, top Italian pizza!
So happy they opened Santa Panza! Their pizza is delicious, the staff super nice, and the place really cozy. Can't wait to go back!
Love it! The place is beautiful, the atmosphere is great and the food is absolutely amazing. I definitely would eat there every night if i could!
We spent two lovely evenings in one of Brooklyn's little diamonds, enjoying excellent service, nice atmoshere and and above all, fine food.
Great food, nice atmosphere, super friendly stuff!
Great new spot in the neighborhood!
The Santapanza Pizza a must try!
Exquisite Italian food, amazing atmosphere and friendly staff! The best in Bedstuy!
Amazing food atmosphere and drinks! Worth checking out if your in the area 👍
Found this place randomly, wasn’t expecting how good the food was and drinks were and service! Absolutely try the ricotta with focaccia bread and hot honey, literally out of this world! Each pasta was amazing too! Will def come back, neighborhood gem!

Santa Panza on Broadway in Brooklyn, New York, holds a special place in my heart. It's become my go-to spot whenever I'm in the neighborhood, and for good reason.
First and foremost, the pizza here is simply outstanding. It's the kind of pizza that makes you wonder if you've ever truly experienced great pizza before. The crust is perfectly thin and crispy, and the toppings are fresh and generous. The flavors are both classic and inventive, catering to all tastes.
The atmosphere is inviting, with a cozy and rustic charm that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're dining in with friends or ordering takeout, the experience is consistently delightful.
What sets Santa Panza apart, besides the amazing pizza, is the friendly and welcoming staff. They go out of their way to ensure you have a great dining experience, and their knowledge of the menu is impressive.
The location on Broadway adds to the overall appeal. It's a great spot to enjoy some pizza and people-watching, soaking in the vibrant energy of Brooklyn.
In conclusion, Santa Panza is a Brooklyn gem that never disappoints. It's a place where you can indulge in exceptional pizza, enjoy a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and leave with a smile. If you haven't been, it's high time you discover the magic of Santa Panza on Broadway.
Even though I made a reservation in advance and visited, there were no seats available for odd-numbered people on time, so I stood and waited for about 20 minutes.
I was disappointed with the waiting time, but I was impressed by the sense of providing additional services for free, saying that the restaurant staff came up and apologized for making me wait for a long time.
The pizza was also very delicious.
I think it will be easier to sit down if you visit in units of two or four.
Their namesake pizza (Santa Panza) is incredible. Good happy hour food and drink deals Mon to Fri 5-7pm.

This place is good, it’s popular for a reason. If it were possible I’d give it a 4.2 or 4.3. It’s not a high level fine dining restaurant and doesn’t claim to be but it does market itself gourmet.
The atmosphere is great, it has a nice ambiance about it which makes it a good date spot or friend meet up. It has solid background music which isn’t too loud but loud enough to compliment the restaurant/add to the experience without taking away the ability to hold a conversation. The atmosphere was great and exceeded expectations. The service was also excellent.
That said, the food met expectations but did not exceed them if that makes sense. The olives were… okay, I don’t necessarily recommend them but they are good to share between 3-4 people, now I would recommend the burrata and piquillo peppers! Those were a great snack for the group, it doesn’t come with bread but that forced us order the pizza Bianca bread which was crispy and good. Perfect for the burrata. The cacio e Pepe while good and thick… wasn’t filling. Me and a friend ordered the same dish and after felt it necessary to go to a bodega to get more food which was rather disappointing considering we both ordered it because we thought it’d be a heavier, more filling dish. It was good though, not amazing, but it was flavorful and besides not being filling enough Worth the price. The pizza was great and was shared between 2 other people whom felt it was filling enough.
Overall the food met expectations but didn’t exceed them, it’s a good restaurant for a date and the food will be good, but it’s not amazing, I didn’t order the pizza which may be it’s specialty but as a place advertised as gourmet that’s what I’m going to base the rating on and it’s a solid 4, still worth going too, still great, but not excellent. I wouldn’t mind coming back someday to try some other dishes and it is a good date spot.
One of the best pizza places in the world! Better than in Italy! We were seated near the pizza oven and could watch them bake the pizza in real time. Their spicy salami pizza was amazing as were their meatballs and salads. The service was very friendly and fast and the place filled up very fast by 7 pm.
cute place with good food! nice vibe in the garden and friendly helpful servers. the whipped ricotta is a must. we went for brunch and got the marinated anchovy + greens pizza and let’s just say they use a very loose definition of pizza. they put a caesar salad on a flatbread and called it pizza lol. it tasted okay but definitely not worth $22. im sure their other pizzas are delicious and more pizza-like so ill come back to try again
The vegan margarita pizza here is nice bc of the dough, but for $23 the few dollops of cashew cheese that costs $3 extra and .5 basil leaves per slice just feels steep. It is very tasty tho but some more cashew cheese would be nice. Other vegan item on menu is pomodoro spaghetti which I’ll try next.
Came with a group. Everyone enjoyed the 3 pizzas we tried along with the Citrus olives
...get that fall autumn spice sangria. I would come back her just for that, along with the backyard outdoor seating
This is our local restaurant. They have really good food - not only pizzas but also many other options. Great wines and cocktails too. The whole staff working there is lovely too. If you’re in bushwick in this neck of the woods come here for a nice dinner, brunch or lunch :)
OMG! The food!! The flavors they were able to coax out of dishes I've had before made me upset with other restaurants! The calamari was perfection; tender, crispy and spectacular tartar sauce pairing. The Margherita pizza was even better than I had in Milan a few months ago. The bronzini was served simply with cherry tomatoes but that's where "simple" stopped. The skin was perfectly crisped and the fish was tender and melted in my mouth. I learned how to make tiramisu in Italy but I feel like I didn't learn anything, the tiramisu at Santa Panza was decadent yet light and airy. The "crispies" on top added texture and a playfulness that elevated the dish. Evro was attentive and made us feel like we were having dinner at home. We have axiomatically found our new favorite restaurant! Oh, by the way, the price was extraordinarily fair for the entire meal. My mouth and my wallet are ecstatic.
Santa Panza is a staple of this part of town. If you have any doubts, don’t waste your time, stop reading and pop by. This is not (New York style pizza but really awesome brick oven stuff) . The whipped ricotta is absolutely delicious and a great mouth opener for one of their pizzas. Their seasonals are great and veggie options hit the spot. We’ll keep coming back for more. Keep up the good work Santa Panza, it’s been great to see you making a name for yourself around here.
Make sure to order spicy olive oil.
Loved this place, especially their patio! The service was great too. We got the caulini, crudo and santa panza pizza and really enjoyed all of them. For two people, we could’ve done 1 more small dish.
When I first moved into the neighborhood we stumbled in a couple years ago and were blown away by the pizza and cocktails. Specifically the SP pizza & Salami Piccante. I love negronis and they offer 3 different kinds! Came again with my girlfriend and the mushroom risotto changed my life. Then we suggested SP for a triple date but that evening for some reason the food was off. I was actually embarrassed I suggested the restaurant because we were raving about SP to our friends. Came again with another friend and it was delicious (got the ragu and some pizzas). Came for brunch and not so great. Just very inconsistent on delivering delicious food. We hadn't been in almost 6 months so we decided to come in for happy hour and we're pleasantly surprised. We got the seafood pasta, 2 pizzas and the watermelon rose. Everything was delicious. Service is always great and love dining on the patio when it's open. Hopefully next time it will be a hit.
Hands down best pizza I've ever had. Loved the place, the food, and the service.

Came here for happy hour and got the crudo, the santa panza pizza, and a couple beer/cocktails each.
Great happy hour deal! $4 off pizza and some drink specials as well. The $10 mezcal negroni and the rose sangria were both strong and super tasty. Their keg was kicked so they offered me a canned beer for the happy hour draft special price which was tasty.
The crudo was amazing. Super delicious. The pizza was very good as well; I do wish the crust was a bit more crusty/less floppy toward the middle of the pizza though. I'd give a 4.5 stars if I could, and if they could nail a perfectly crispy crust that would bump it up to five for me (or maybe some people like the floppier crust style and that's intended, idk). Was still delicious just made eating it slightly messy. The pizza is a good size for the price; that and the crudo was enough food for the 2 of us with a small snack later at home.
Service was great, atmosphere was great. Cute date spot. They have a nice looking outdoor garden patio thing but it was a bit hot so we opted to eat inside.
All in all a great spot in the area and I'll definitely come back and try some other pizzas.
