Pisa Pork Store

This is around the block from my grandmother’s house. My father said he’s been going here since he was a kid. I go there and get some things for my aging grandmother as soon as I fly back into NY. Fresh mozzarella, great salads, I mean, this place is just fantastic. Speaking to New Yorkers they may not be that impressed. But now that I’ve been living out west for like 6 years, this epitomizes the New York food experience for me and I love it. I love Brooklyn, I LOVE MUSSOLINI!

In my younger days I used to travel here from else where in Brooklyn for sandwiches during my lunch break. When I moved to Staten Island I would come on the weekends for all my BBQ and family gathering needs. Now that I am living in the same neighborhood I am probably here at least twice a week. It’s that good!
Fish salad is a staple at Christmas Eve, and we used to use L&B for years until one year I brought Pisa’s. For the past 5yrs Pisa has now been our go to repeat requested fish salad. They use good, whole pieces of shrimp and calamari, and the ingredients are just higher quality.
All the ingredients are high quality, another customer once asked the owner for «the good imported prosciutto» and he responded «that’s the only kind I carry». You can definitely taste the difference and my post work out chicken cutlet hero with prosciutto and fresh mozzarella is a staple.
Fresh mozzarella btw… Wow just about the best. Even my friends who have grown up with their own pork store concede that Pisa’s is just the best.
Lastly can’t close with out saying Rice Balls! You need to get a tray, you can’t eat just one they are that amazing. They are the small rice balls and cramped with all the flavor and awesomeness of a bigger rice ball.

I love Pisa! Everything is fresh and homemade! The customer service is exceptional they really make an effort to give the customer individual attention like an old fashioned pork store! I travel all the way from queens to buy my items at Pisa! Highly recommend!

Great Italian pork store, they do it right. Many home made items, fresh mozzarella (milky and creamy), pasta sauces (meat & meatless), lightly fried chicken cutlets and fingers, cauliflower, zucchini, and fried ravioli (not a heavy bread crumb), great riceballs and potato croquettes. I found the prices to be a lot cheaper than Long Island and the quality authentic.
They have a full catering menu and it would be worth the drive from Long Island to get food for the Big Game. Great customer service, very friendly and old school cooking makes Pisa a winner. Ciao

I am a sucker for italian specialty foods. Where do I start? Their mozarella and prosciutto are the best I’ve tried in Brooklyn, just that alone is to die for. They have great cold cuts, amazing steaks, chicken cutlets, sausage, all very fresh and delicious. Their prices are expensive, but the food is well worth it.

Eh the only reason I knocked off a star is because they can be so expensive. But if I ever moved from Gravesend, this would be the only store that I’d miss. Their home cooked food is so good. The staff is super friendly. All their food is delicious. «What else?»

This place is fantastic. Excellent quality and always fresh. I highly recommend ever

Some of the best, best homemade Mozzarella I have ever had, and I have had a lot. Worth the trip just for the fromaggi!

High quality food and always fresh, great service and a bit pricey but worth the money. Its worth taking the trip there, just don’t go on Mondays thats the day they’re closed.

Consistently great! Excellent cold cuts, sliced however you request. I love their roast beef (the only roast beef I eat outside of my own kitchen) and their deli section: Italian, Italian-​American and American delicacies!
Also an excellent variety of cooked foods. I sometimes get a few different things to last a couple of days so I don’t have to cook it myself. Truly clean, authentic, fresh and very well prepared. Their butcher section has great offerings and you can speak to Rocco and get great ideas for recipes or to request special orders.
Great selection of authentic Italian products: pastas, olive oil, pantry items, cookies, soft drinks, and panettone for the holidays.
My family, extended family, and I have been coming here for years — never a disappointment and the owner and staff are friendly, helpful and and always ready for a quick and witty exchange. It always was and is a traditional high quality neighborhood place.

Great meats and chicken cutlets! This place has been solid for many years. The neighborhood might chance but Pisa will always be the same… classic!

Was there today to buy fixin’s to make my own sausage. Lady behind the counter was all happy to talk to me and interested in my plan to make sausage for the first time. She dragged the butcher out from the back to talk to me about how I planned to make it, what meats, etc. After, he custom-​butchered my cuts on the spot for me. Offered to grind them too, but I want to do that myself. All this was AFTER offering me the sausage casings for free, before they knew I intended to buy 5 pounds of meat from them. I will definitely be coming back for my future butchering needs. An old school butcher like my mom used to use, which are fast disappearing. I hope they stay forever.

Old school pork store. Housemade mozzeralla freshly made, milky and warm. Delish! Homemade meatballs better than nonna. This place has lines on Sunday because the food rocks. Great supply of imported foods, some hard to find anywhere. I traveled here for the bottled Italian pesto, this brand (Tiguillio) I can only find at Pisa and having been to Genoa this is the best that I have found imported to NYC. Though far away in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, this place deserves recognition.

When I someday write that tour guide to south Brooklyn that I keep meaning to write, places like Pisa Pork Store will have a prominent mention. They have phenomenal cold cuts and cheese, super amazing Italian bread and delicious could-​live-​on-​this-​and-​just-​this prepared food. I’m a Brooklyn girl who now lives in the «the city» and for everything we have in Manhattan we have so few authentic, delicious places like this. I’d trade in all our Balducci’s and Zabar’s for a Pisa down the block. Oh! And they now have curbside service; place your order and they bring it out to your car so you don’t have to find a parking spot.
