Finally made it out to the BK with my friend Brian for some L&B. Had to have their famous squares. We sat outside to take in all of the sights and sounds of Bensonhurst. Thankfully we went with a half pie and not a whole pie (which could easily feed a family of 8). This pizza is very unique. Unlike most other joints, L&B puts their sauce on top of the mozzerella. The sauce is really good and definitely adds character to this pie. As a finishing touch, they sprinkle some parmigiano cheese on top. For a square pie the dough is really nice and airy. Nothing like the doughy sicilian slice you will find at nearly every sliceria in the city. The crust was nice and well done. My only complaint is that I think the dough was prebaked earlier in the day and then rebaked once the cheese and sauce were added. So the crust was not as fresh tasting as it could have been. I don't know if this is always the case or not. I guess I'll have to see next time I'm there. Brian and I did pretty well and managed to devour 4 slices each along with a pitcher of root beer. We saved some room for spumoni but never got any as we had to bail to avoid getting caught in a thunderstorm. Overall I liked this place and I would definitely go back for more squares.
