L&B Spumoni Gardens
I just so happened to be out in Gravesend Brooklyn for work
the other day and my first thought was L&B.
As soon as lunchtime hit I wandered over to the enormous outdoor garden.
Although it wasn’t exactly warm people were already beginning to fill in the outdoor tables. I ordered myself a square slice and settled in.

This slice has dough on the bottom, mozzarella directly on
top of that, then covered in sauce and a hefty sprinkle of parmigiana. My first bite I was a little skeptical- it
seemed so big and doughy I would never be able to finish it….Yeah right. Halfway through I suddenly realized I was in heaven. This pizza wasn’t heavy- it was almost
insanely light for a Sicilian. The
bottom crust had a fantastic buttery crunch, the tomato sauce was thick and
rich- everything about this pizza just came together.
In a city where expensive gourmet pizza is everywhere it was
a refreshing and delicious change of pace.
For $2.25 I was incredibly satisfied and so pleased I contemplated ordering
another one. However I had a long list
of cannoli’s to check out before lunch time was over so I ambled away biding my
time until another Gravesend trip brings me
back.
