Brother's Pizzeria

From the outside, Brother’s looks a lot like a regular old dollar-slice shop. (Don’t get us wrong, we love a regular old dollar-slice shop.) But when you bite into a plain cheese slice, you’ll realize that there’s a lot more going down at this Staten Island pizzeria, open on a corner of Port Richmond since 1975. There’s a well-balanced sauce, a hefty coating of cheese, and an ultra-crisp undercarriage, making it more of a classic New York slice than some of the Island's more famous, almost cracker-like crusts. Order at the counter in the front, then grab a seat in the back, or take your pizza to go. Either way, prioritize this place when you need a quick slice—or three—and bring cash.

Food Rundown

Plain Slice

Always get a plain slice.

Upside Down Slice

Fans of L&B should opt for this square slice—the cheese is under the sauce, and the sauce is just a touch sweeter than the plain. And we don’t mean that in a bad way.

Vodka Slice

Other vodka sauce slices should hop on the Staten Island ferry and come to Brother’s to learn a thing or two. The vodka sauce on this thick, square slice is impeccably seasoned, nestled between big slices of fresh mozzarella. Get this. And also the plain, and also the upside down.
