One of the tastiest slices in the neighborhood. Light, airy and crispy crust with a perfectly seasoned sauce and the right amount of cheese. If you’re not in the mood for a slice, try their sandwiches. My go-​to is the small meatball sandwich, served on a large garlic knot. It’s less than $ 5. Great staff and super family friendly. Hope they stay in business for years to come.

I love this place, pizza is amazing here, highly recommended for pizza lovers.
I would like to recommend their pasta, it’s really wawww.

This is pretty average pizza. My friends and I ordered a plane jane and a greek salad. The greek salad was great. Like actually really good. The pizza is very average. It’s not the worst pizza I have ever had but it’s not that great. It sort of reminded me of a step up from chucky cheese pizza. Highly recommend skipping this place and going to Lucali instead. Seriously.

One of my favorite restaurants around the area. I actually never ate in the front half of the restaurant/​pizzeria area. Always head to the back half, garden area. Choose a nice spring day, and relax in comfortable seats (choose the non-​picnic table seating) and enjoy the fresh air with great food
All the food served here is very solid and fairly priced paired with nice friendly service.
Favorites here include the sweet sausage hero and the olive pizza. The sausage is well grilled, not overly salty, so can still taste the onions and peppers it’s paired with. A bit greasy, to be expected with a sausage hero though. Counter that by eating it quickly so bread doesn’t sog up. When looking for a calmer eating pace, order the various pizzas on offer. All the pizzas aren’t salty or anything, can probably just assume all the sauces and cheeses universal to all the pizzas are well made with carefully selected ingredients. Usually opt for the olive pizza which also has arugula. Well baked, no topping are burnt, cheese with a good melt and crust has a nice char to it. Another recommendation would be the sweet jane, based solely on the strength of the pesto sauce. They should really sell it on the side.
Have also tried the pastas and paninis. Prefer the paninis over the pasta (sort of average, nothing stood out). The paninis are well pressed according to normal customer standards (I personally prefer it a bit burnt, so ask if you do too) and served with a side of salad. Tastes like the same mozzarella used on the pizzas, not a bad thing at all. Really delicious.

Hand down the best pizza ever in a quaint, cozy, candle lit diner. my hubby, Chuck and I frequent this place for date night. The pizza is to die for. thin crust that taste like freshly baked bread. great stretchy cheese awesome marinara sauce and delightful toppings.
If you are in CobbleHill you must check out Layla Jones.

I love this place — I get delivery all the time, and their pizzas are so good. Really, everything is really good! I’ve had pastas, calzones, pressed sandwiches, salads, and pizzas and I’ve never been disappointed in the food. Delivery is fast and the delivery guys are always friendly and nice. I highly recommend!

Best sandwich I’ve had in awhile. I had the grilled chicken with goat cheese press. It arrived promptly, was still fairly warm, flavorful and very fresh! Will definitely be ordering again.

Layla Jones, you’re pretty cool. And I’m sorry I hadn’t checked you out you sooner.
Found myself here on a spontaneous and raging midday pizza craving and man, did those square slices do the trick.
They may look unassuming, but they’re big on flavor and cheesy goodness. It’s not the best pizza you’ve ever had (God bless New York) but it’s a delicious neighborhood option!

What a beautiful place to have lunch. It’s a small place with a cozy old school vibe. You can’t ask for better customer service. They are so nice and helpful. I ordered the spaghetti and meatball lunch special with a side of salad. It was absolutely delicious. The sauce was flavorful. The meatball was fluffy and well seasoned. I definitely enjoyed every bite. I will return… Soon! :)

Excellent square pizzas in a small cozy space with super cute outdoor patio. TRY THE CHOPPED SALAD! Staff is wonderful. Great space for kids and a quick dine and bounce.

awesome!!! quick delivery, wonderful pizza and calzone. for me, just one pizza or calzone is enough for 2 (not to eat too much). very good :)

Amazing pizza and caljones!!! The delivery is really quick and the food is always on point.

Meatball sandwish are amazing, the bread they used is pizza dough and not your typical italian hero. Fast delivery.

This is our cliché don’t-wanna-think-about-dinner-let’s-get-pizza spot. The Easy Special is the perfect dinner for two and a little lettuce makes you feel like you’re not completely forgoing nutrition :) The cheese on the Plain Jane gets this perfectly toasted cheesiness that I haven’t experienced anywhere else. Reliable, yummy pizza.

Stumbled into this place last night (¹⁰⁄₁₄) post-​Elvis Costello Night at BookCourt up the street, needed a good and fast dinner solution before getting back on the bloody road, this seemed to be inviting enough and not some pretentious steakhouse or whatever. I dunno about the pizza, didn’t try any, it sure smelled good, the warmth coming off those ovens was insane, but in any case, I ordered a basic chicken parm. hero and it was fine, the portion wasn’t over the top but it was tasty enough and it was hot and not over or undercooked, nor burnt, so that was fine by me.
If I’d known they offered a Sweet Jane pizza I might’ve turned smart aleck and got one, then asked for the follow-​up, the «Sister Ray» pizza, or the «Caroline Says» hero. I“m sure LJ is glad I didn’t! Comes with amphetamines and extra cheese. But as usual, I digress. The service was fast, the food solid, staff were nice to me, so I’d recommend this place if you’re seeking a fast slice or pie or heros and press sandwiches, they do offer limited seating in front, as well. I liked the place, it was dark and cozy, warm, and the food seemed decent and reasonable price-​wise, to me, especially for this upscale area.

Went here after finding an article of top 10 places in Brooklyn. This place deserves to be on there. Pizza was delish!

Average. Burnt pizza and I’m shocked it got such good reviews. My BF and I went there on a Friday night and it was EMPTY… no
wonder.

Am I missing something? After reading tons of great reviews we decided to order a large margherita pizza. The sauce was fantastic (a very saturated tomato taste) and it came covered in basil (which I can’t get enough of on a marg pizza) but the crust kind of tasted like a frozen pizza crust. Very cracker like in taste and consistency. We were very disappointed after reading so many positive reviews. I guess our hunt for the perfect pizza in the hood is still on…

I don’t get it. The reviews were all great so I ordered a plain jane and a side caesar. I found the crust oddly greasy and with a slightly buttery taste, almost more like a pastry than a pizza crust. The sauce was fine but the pie lacked flavor overall. I would rate this a decent pizza elsewhere but not in Brooklyn where there is such amazing pizza to be had. The caesar dressing was mildly sweet which was off-​putting. In addition, they did not send any cutlery (which I asked for) or the red pepper flakes I requested.

I’ve only tried the spaghetti and meatballs and its one of the best! Great customer service!

This is FOR THEIR SERVICE and the awful response from management. If they cared for their Customers they would offer a better explanation as of why their third party system for ordering delivery does not work and places the order for the next morning if you order after certain time. You suck.

I’ve ordered from here once before for delivery and liked it enough to order again. But this will be my last time. I called in the order — using the menu ON THEIR WEBSITE — which apparently doesn’t have their current prices. The price difference wouldn’t have been a big deal to me had they at least been apologetic. The woman on the phone just said (first, scoffing), «yeah– that thing’s been wrong for a long time.» Great. Was I supposed to just sense that the website menu isn’t up to date? Pizza joints are ubiquitous in brooklyn — their attitude left a seriously bad taste in my mouth.
Oh, and the pizza was soggy and lukewarm which I would’ve forgiven because of the arctic cold weather but that, coupled with their disregard for direct and honest pricing means I’ll never order again.

This place is fantastic! We have only had delivery from here, but we can’t believe how good it is. We have ordered the plain Jane pizza with meatballs and onions. The meatballs are fantastic– just the right amount of seasoning and moisture. The Caesar salad dressing is homemade and perfectly seasoned. I have to order it every time! We also have had the meatball parm calzones– very well seasoned– the pesto bread mixed with the soft meatballs and fresh mozzarella is the perfect match! The grilled pizza is the perfect size and very thin. Very impressed all around!

I have ordered takeout from Layla Jones many, many times without an issue, including a small catering order.
However, tonight we placed an order around 6pm on Seamless (45−60min wait), and when I called 10 minutes past the 60 minute window I was placed on hold and told it would be another 25 minutes. My order was clearly never started so I asked for a discount or some freebie and was denied. When I asked to cancel the order, the woman I spoke to said the pie «was already in the oven.»
Not a great way to handle a regular customer. As much as I love the pizza, I’ll be going going elsewhere.

Layla’s my girl.*
It started out with a little bit of flirting. You know how it goes in the beginning… I’d give her $ 8, and she’d give me a sizable, delicious meatball parm hero for lunch. That’s how they all start. Sometimes I’d go for the grilled chicken and goat cheese panini when I was feeling wild, and she’d throw in a drink too, because I’m a good listener.
After the first couple trysts, we decided to go all the way. Pizza. She’s into role playing (honeymoon phase, amirite guys?!)…sometimes she’s Plain Jane (just sauce and cheese), and sometimes she spices it up as Sweet Jane (add a bit of pesto and romano).
I’m not usually into dudes (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but I gotta say… I like the meat. When Layla dresses up as Fast Eddie (pepperoni, meatballs and sausage) it’s almost too much meat for me, but Sweet Lou and his lasagna combo (ricotta, meat sauce) is just right. This one time I got drunk and me, Eddie and Lou all got down together. I liked it… that stays between you and me though.
To be up front though, Layla’s not the best I’ve had in the city. Hell, she’s not even the best in the ‘hood (we live in a great area for slutty, delicious thin crust pies). But she’s got that sauce and cheese and shapely crust (always a good combo). And she’s always quick to come over when I call, and it’s actually better that way. It’s not that I’m embarrassed to be seen with her in public, it’s just that her thicker, doughier crust doesn’t lose as much (as a brick oven pie) in the box on the way over.
If that sounds good to you, give Layla a call. Don’t worry, I’m not the jealous type.

*Please don’t tell my actual girl, she’d probably shank Layla without a second thought.

I’ve never actually eaten inside the restaurant… we always just order from Seamless and it’s always been great. Our go-​to order is either:
Option 1:
— spaghetti and meatballs with side salad (also comes with garlicky bread)
— spaghettini with chicken/​artichoke/​sundried tomato with side salad
Option 2:
— sweet jane pie with added sausage
Note that the pizza is a definite gut-​bomb! You don’t feel great afterwards but I don’t know many pizzas that provide a spa-​like effect anyway.
Had a hero too before but they don’t travel well and the bread gets soggy.
