La Torre Pork Store

New ownership, most of previous staff still working but barely. Just walked out and heading to Landis and will never come back to this place. They had me standing there for 10 minutes while one guy worked counter for one customer mind you. They all saw me standing there but kept going about whatever else they were doing. Place is a joke. Food, prices and especially service immensely better at Landis.

Best italian sandwiches, fresh mozzarella and the food is amazing. And the staff is very nice.

First of all how nasty you have to be to handle money and then touch the meat without GLOVES!, I only wonder how the food is handle in the KITCHEN! YUCK…
That place smells like ass, I have been at very good pork stores and none of them smell like this one .
Also change the ways you service your clients, with a grumpy ass face you won’t sale a dime!!! I came ready to spent at least $ 80.00 dollars worth of cold cuts and for reason above I bought $ 0.0000
NEVER AGAIN!!!
Never coming back…

Great sandwiches, good service, authentic atmosphere. Had an italian here, its like 3 lbs worth of meat, tasted great though. Sausage and peppers are great. Love their bread, better then tipcal keiser rolls they serve in delis. Stop by, be prepared to wait a bit, gets crowded during lunch time

La Torre is the type of place that makes you say «so this is what Brooklyn was like before the hipsters started moving here, huh»… Un feathered and unchanged since the 80’s, this classic Italian pork store, the food speaks for itself. Located in the heart of Brooklyn, everything from the food to the service with a smile is fantastic. The seafood antipasta to the shrimp in red sauce is dynamite. If you’re ever in the mood for cold cuts, I don’t know what it is, but their turkey sandwich might be the best I’ve ever had. When I have friends from out of town that want a taste of the real Brooklyn, La Torre is one of the first spots I bring them to!

I’m a Brooklyn native. Having said that, I’m familiar with just about every Italian pork store in the borough. La Torre makes the best sausage hands down. If you like hot sausage, it will make your scalp sweat, the only barometer in my opinion for quality beyond one’s taste buds. If you like broccoli rabe, get their rabe sausage, it rocks. Their meats are first rate, you can phone ahead and place your order to pick up later and they take credit cards now. They have an ok supply of Italian food products which is why I give it four stars, but you are going there for meats, right? Their sandwiches are fantastic, especially the Italian meats sandwich, wow! Their hot dishes are also fantastic. OH, and you’ll never get a bone chip in your sausage which I often do get when I shop at «the other pork store on Ave. N» when I’m too lazy to drive another ½ mile for the great stuff. Very busy on holidays and weekends, plan ahead and order in advance. Landi’s has more Italian products and they are always more busy, that is terrible, because you will never get better sausage anywhere else in New York City than here.

There is not enough time for all the good things I want to say about this magical place, & I don’t even eat pork. Passing through their doors is to enter a time warp of delicious meats, cheeses, & prepared foods, from the days before Whole Foods & all the new fangled crap all over Brooklyn.
It breaks my heart that Landi’s down the street, as great as it is, is so crowded, & this spot is often slow. The steaks here are off the hook-​my favorite butcher in Brooklyn & all of NYC –on the level of Russ & Daughters of classic NYC spots that should be landmarked. Oh, & killer bakery next door. Trying to gain 50 – 75 lbs for your next film role? You are at the right place ! And — you can take the Flatbush Ave dollar van here -!
I hope that this review helps them get more business & stick around !

Fantastico! Best mozzarella and can’t wait to try the steaks! Best customer service!

Pork store is okay but the bakery is terrible.
Bought three cakes here recently and there is always a problem. I will start from worst/​last time to first.
I bought a totally chocolate cake for the Superbowl, had cherries in the middle with vanilla cream. My friend is allergic. Bought a cheese cake that was sour (same trip). before that time, I called and asked how much and do they have a carrot cake. Yes, and $ 33. I got there and the price was $ 42 and they acted like I never called and even told me the $ 33 price has not been around since the 1990’s. What’s in that, gold? First time I went there, was told by a friend that lived around the block. This place is «the best». Sure!!! I bought three tarts and 2 lbs of cookies. Very expensive and basic. They have you by the balls because all of the bakeries are closed and you have to drive to Dyker Heights to get anything.
terrible.

By far the best cut of steak one can find in Brooklyn. Meat so tender that it was difficult for me not to drool. What an amazing place, I’m definitely coming back.

They make the best sandwiches! i travel from the other side of brooklyn to get a sandwich from here. also great fresh mozzarella and sausages.

I Moved to NJ and Still come back into bklyn to go here all the time

This place looks like Landi’s more raw cousin down on the other end of Ave N. Combined with Alliota’s and Moretti’s right next store, as well as Frank’s around the corner and a new Calabrese restaurant opening on the other corner, this is a fairly one-​stop block for Italian food. La Torre is a fairly sizable store for groceries as well as being a pork store. They have a large open kitchen in the back, and I remember one time where I saw them take a huge sheet of freshly cooked broccoli rabe. Their line setup is archaic, but they make some really great stuff here.
Last time I got a roast beef sandwich with fresh mozz, gravy, and onions on a roll. The bread is interestingly not from Moretti’s (which Landi’s carries), but instead Il Fornaretto in Bensonhurst. This bread was great as usual, and my only complaint was that it could’ve been a bit crustier. Their roast beef was homemade of course and had good flavor, but I like mine more rare. The homemade fresh mozz was great however, and made the sandwich along with the bread. They didn’t kill the thing with gravy either, and while it was a big sandwich it wasn’t one of those places that packs a ridculous amount of meat. I also tried a sample of their homemade soppressata, which was all about the pork rather than the spices unlike most places (a good thing). I have a feeling this may be a 5 star place overall, but I have to check it out more before I can say that.

Love the lasagna, the sauce has shredded beef rather that chop meat. The homemade mozzarella is silky and tasty, breaded chicken cutlets are butterflied and tender. Great selection of meats, especially sausages, and prices are excellent. The gentlemen behind the counter are very helpful and pleasant.
