Food: Food is always excellent here. This place is known for their square pies and they recently added a vodka square pie which is delicious. The crust of the square pie is nice and airy. I wouldn't recommend the round pie here. Their pasta dishes and entrées are always well-made. We ordered the baked ziti and veal parmigiana with spaghetti. Entrees are served with huge pieces of fresh Italian bread. Their baked clam appetizer is also excellent. Portion sizes of the entrees are large and enough to feed two people. This place is always crowded and definitely a favorite among many people. They are also known for their Italian ices, particularly the spumoni. They have soft serve as well as many different flavors of Italian ices, including chocolate, coconut, pineapple, watermelon, rainbow, lemon, and more. Service: Staff are friendly and helpful. Ambiance: You can choose to dine inside their restaurant or order your pizza, entrees, desserts outside and find an outdoor table to eat on. There are three separate lines for ordering pizza, ice cream, and entrées. Lines are pretty long, especially in the summer, but they have a good system set up for lines to go quickly and efficiently. Don't be deterred by the crowd and long lines. Overall, I highly recommend this place!

Ordered a Sicilian pie on a beautiful Friday night. Sat outside with the love of my life and enjoyed some of the best pizza we've ever had. Wouldn't have changed anything about the pizza itself. Great crust, sauce and cheese. Spumoni ices was certainly the cherry on top. Highly recommend!!

L&B never disappoints!! Came here on a Saturday, it was crowded but the service was fast. Ordered the traditional Sicilian pie and spumoni which hit the spot all the time.

I have been coming here since I was basically born for the famous square pizza slice and spumoni, which is a hometown staple for me. The spumoni here tastes like no other! I finally ate in the restaurant for the first time and the food is very good. Family friendly. We just shared some apps. Best zucchini fries I have ever tasted. Will come back again to try more!

So we arrived to the famous L&B. It was definitely on the bucket list to give it a try. We opted to sit inside as opposed to the outdoor benches. (We should have done that) My gripe about the service was it took so long to be acknowledged and given menus. As far as the food, we ordered a house salad and calamari for Apps and a square pie as the main. Salad arrived first. I enjoyed the house dressing. It had a lemon zest taste that was strong and good. Very good actually. The pie came out. 12 pieces (way too much for us 3) and it was hot and fresh. Sauce and cheese ratio was good, but too "doughy" for me. After eating the pizza, the calamari came out. We almost cancelled them as we wanted them for an appetizer. It they were hot, and we just kept them. We were so full, although the taste was good, we were done. The Italian ice was my favorite. The spumoni was just good for me. Overall the ambiance was good. It was a solid choice, but IF I come back, will try the regular slice and/or the sandwiches. L&B, wish you continued success.

Great pizza great pastas big fan of chicken Marsala. The pizza is also amazing thanks spumoni !

I came here on a Sunday night with a friend. It was very crowded around 6:30pm. The wait for pizza was short. It was due to the efficient protocol this restaurant had in place. There are three lines. One is for slices. Second is for the whole pie. Third is for Spumoni/ice cream. People complain about how expensive the slices are. However, inflation is everywhere. I was quite satisfied with the two slices that I ordered. Next time, I will order the creamsicle. My friend kept raving about it. If you have never been there, I highly recommend going. The B1 bus takes you right there.

I love this place. Came here for dinner to celebrate my daughters graduation. Highly recommend reservations if you are planning to dine inside the restaurant part. This place gets really packed inside or out. There is a small parking garage for L&B customers only. This place is known for their Sicilian square pizza. We dined inside. We decided not to eat pizza for tonight. Instead, we ordered appetizers and entrees. For appetizer, we ordered fried shrimp and mozzarella sticks. Fried shrimp are big and delicious. Super tasty with a squeeze of lemon on it, and the tartar sauce they serve it with is delicious. Mozzarella sticks were nice and cheesy. You definitely get that cheese pull effect. For entrees, we ordered chicken parmigiana, penne with vodka sauce with grilled chicken, chicken Caesar salad, calamari with linguini red sauce, penne with grilled chicken in pesto sauce, burger basket with French fries. Chicken Caesar salad was delicious. The romaine lettuce was nice and crisp, and the grilled chicken was seasoned and cooked very well. The penne in vodka sauce was nice and creamy, mushrooms are added, and peas. Penne with grilled chicken in pesto sauce was one of my favorites. The pesto sauce was delicious. The calamari in red sauce was really good, and it had tons of calamari. Chicken parmigiana was super tender and cheesy. The burger basket was good. Everything we had was packing with flavors, and the portion sizes are huge. Easily, three people can eat from one pasta dish. For dessert, everyone wanted ice cream. We ordered chocolate, cookies & cream, creamscicle, and strawberry ice-cream flavors. My favorite is the creamscicle, but all are rich in flavor. I highly recommend you try this place. There's is something on the menu for everyone. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Service is quick. The food is delicious.

We are longtime fans (obviously) of the Sicilian slice here which is famous for very good reason, but hadn't actually eaten in the restaurant itself til tonight. Wow -- when it comes to traditional red sauce Italian, this is among the best we've ever had. First of all: it's actually open late!!!! It's so refreshing these days to find a place where you can actually sit down and eat truly until midnight -- and the scene both in and outside was very much bustling when we arrived at about 10'pm on a Wednesday. Service is fast, friendly and the food is all SUPER fresh. We had the meatballs, the Caesar salad and the shrimp & mussels fra diavolo on spaghetti. Everything tastes totally made to order. There are many mediocre Caesar salads in the world but this is not one -- huge, super crisp romaine, zesty and creamy homemade dressing. The spaghetti was the real pleasant surprise. Tons of big shrimp and mussels all perfectly cooked; the pasta itself in a flavorful sauce full of fresh basil and also cooked to perfection. Of course had to pick up a spumoni to go as well. So great to know there is a lot more to love here besides the famous pizza!
