Bronx Now: Ljubo's Pizza

[@f.4767]

Just went there last week. It was the New York pizza that I remember as a kid. This place is one of the last ones left.

I will add them to my list of places to try when I go back for everyplace I've tried since 1997, which was the last time I had a great slice I remembered growing up on, has been a big disappointment. The place I tried in '97 was in Queens. I went back to that same place in '99 and it stunk. Wasn't till I ordered and was walking out the door did I see the Grande cheese poster and realized they too had given up on top quality for more profits. Funny that this pizzeria is no longer around, gee I wonder why?

I been here & I can say- THE ORGINAL NYC SLICE IS HERE!!! One slice is enough, trust me it ain’t cheap- it’s delicious. Been here since 2004 & I’m not disappointed. 1 slice will have you 😍😍

[@raymondserrano7443]

Facts everything you said hit a nail in the head everything is true we are talking about that pizza is delicious and they've been in business since the year I was born and this is the original authentic pizza can get any better than that

Wow 14 years ago i was working in the bronx doing security and i stopped in here and could never remember the name i ate 2 of those slices and was full for a whole 16 hr shift😂 glad to see there still open will be bringing my daughters they didt believe me when i said the bronx had ninja turtle size pizza

[@SacredStarlight]

Had their pizza for the first time the same week this was posted. Their pizza is amazing! Along with being huge, its just flat out delicious. Perfect NY pizza.

Just curious if they use Grande cheese? Grew up on the island back in the 60's and 70's where you could even go to a kiosk at the mall and not get a bad slice. Went back in 1997 to a place off the LIE in Queens and they had great pizza, just like I remembered it. Went back to that same pizzeria in 1999 and it stunk. No longer the stretch from the cheese and that great taste because they switched to Grande cheese, which I saw the poster on the wall. I've literally tried dozens of places on my trips back ever since, many with high recommendations only to find they aren't that good. In the 70's, Pizza Hut opened a place in New Hyde Park and within a year, closed shop because they couldn't compete with the quality of pizza from the mom and pops. Now those types of chains are all over NYC and the suburbs. What's that tell you?

[@RonsMustache]

Probably not but they’ve kept the prices the same and the slices are HUGE. Solid slice

I used to eat at this pizzeria a lot back in 1988 when I worked at 2510 Westchester Square. I started out by ordering 2 slices but soon learned that 1 slice filled me up. And I`m just realizing from this video that I`ve been pronouncing the name wrong for over 30 years. Hahaha...

Unbelievable! I know this pizza restaurant because I go to this place to buy pizza! Their pizza slices are so huge, one slice has been more than enough to make me feel full, especially with my favorite toppings on it! Another thing, however, it that I will also eat their homemade calzones - they, to me, make me feel more fuller than any of the giant pizza slices!

[@mikegianfrancesco9431]

Very good pizza

[@bobvoelsing9069]

When I was a Bus Operator for MaBSTOA ,,we made 'Reliefs' at Westchester Sq. & we found the New 'Ljubo's Pizza' and his huge slices,,,,,1 slice w/ex/cheese was a Meal,,and you'd be lucky not to fall asleep an hour later from such a full stomach,haha...Many times while eating there,,,someone would bring in a Bud & watch them react to the size of the slices,,,usually "Wow,,that really IS a big slice" was the usual response ,,,Big slice,,not hot spicy,,mild,,soft & doughy,,unlike Italian Thin crust style,,yummmmmy

I used to go to this spot all the time when I grew up in the Bronx. My dad is a retired bus driver. When I used to spend a lot of hours up and down Westchester on the Bx4, we would eat here during his lunch or after a relief.

[@dvnrhillary]

I know this pizzeria really well; I really love visiting this place! But I was surprised that that this pizzeria location in the Bronx began its business in 1985 - that's before I was born! I was born in the Bronx on December 13, 1986.

[@raymondserrano7443]

So he's been in business since the year I was born he even told me himself from 1985 this day their Pizza is original authentic it is amazingly delicious it don't even get better than that the slices is so humongously big you don't even need to One Big slice is good enough.

[@lindaojeda9386]

Best pizza in New York

[@pervecbs]

Cross bronx pizza and pizza Italia on castle hill has bigger slices... none of these spots have good pizza though

[@joed9491]

That's what I'm looking for, pizza that taste as great as it did pre-1990's which is around the time it started going downhill.
