L&B Spumoni Gardens

L&B Spumoni Gardens

This Bensonhurst institution has been serving its iconic Sicilian squares since 1939. The thick, pillowy crust is topped with tangy tomato sauce spread edge to edge, with cheese hidden underneath (yes, underneath). Don't skip their namesake spumoni for dessert.

Beni's Review of Spumoni Gardens

Oct 18, 2025Visited Aug 2025

Quite possibly my favorite slice in all of NYC, and therefor the world (south park reference). While not your traditional triangle slice, this square pie slice is perfectly crafted, with the most amazing textured dough you've ever had. And after you're finished stuffing your face with a half a sheet (square pies are called sheets here), don't forget to try the italian ices which are amazing. My personal favorite is cherry flavor. The vibe at the original Spumoni's is classic NY, and there is never a line. This is most likely due to the location being out of the way for most, and also just them running an efficient operation.
