Brooklyn Pizza — Restaurant in Lighthouse Point

This is true N.Y.C. & Greater Tri-State-style pizza. My mind was blown—I went in super skeptical, but left a true believer and customer for life, (whenever I'm down in Southern Florida, of course).

My buddy and I went in and decided to test it against what we grew-up with back in New York, (our families are actually from Brooklyn), and I have to say: This place does not disappoint! Just classic slices and squares. Really good, quality New York pizza and an open soda fountain, so I was beyond happy!!! But yeah, great pizzeria vibe inside and really great employees.

Everything made sense as soon as I learned that the owner is an old school Brooklyn native. So refreshing, because I was terrified that if it were actually owned by any other type of New Yorker, that it'd be some Brooklynite hipster, and not an actual, multi-generational, family owned-and-operated business. Seriously, the food, people and the actual order & dining area were totally worth the visit—it was just like being back home!!!!

Next time I'm down in the Pompano Beach Area, I'll be sure to visit and order a both a whole Sicilian and whole...

Located in the Venetian Isle plaza, Amelia's Brooklyn Pizza is a casual restaurant that offers a variety of pizzas, appetizers, wings, pasta & entrees, hot/cold subs, calzones & strombolis, salads, desserts, and cold beverages. There are adequate seating for customers if you choose to dine in. Prices are more than moderate. What happened to the days when you could get food for under $20?

After overlooking the menu, I was greeted by a female employee who took my order of chicken parmigiana, which is served two garlic knots and side of pasta. Here are my thoughts on the food:

garlic knots - wasn't too oily. Was warm, soft and covered in minced garlic

chicken parmigiana - tender, breaded chicken breast covered in tomato sauce and cheese placed on top of penne. I wish there was more sauce on the pasta, but overall it was enjoyable. It was definitely a big portion of food. I have leftovers...

Ordered a peperoni pizza for delivery and ended up waiting over an hour and never got my pizza. I live two blocks from this place, I called the shop four different times the first time they told me the driver would be there in 10 min, after 15 minutes goes by called again was told that the driver told them my pizza was delivered and it wasn't. They told me they'd have the driver call me. 10 mores later driver calls me and tells me he just picked up my pizza from the shop that he was stuck in traffic and would be there in 2 minutes. Another 10 minutes goes by and no driver. I called the shop again and asked them to refund my money which they said would take 3 to 4 days to do.

At this point they should have given me a pizza for free to keep a customer...
