Bruckner New York Style Pizza

Review Highlights

Bruckner New York Style Pizza is a small family-run pizza shop on Bruckner Boulevard in the Bronx, operated by a father and son. Keith Lee was invited by a local who highlighted the Bronx's Dominican pizza — a regional variation lesser-known outside the borough — and the broader context of businesses in the area facing displacement. He spent $18.95 on three slices.

• ·Pernil slice — slow-roasted, marinated Dominican pork on pizza with a tangy sauce; "that meat is tender, is seasoned, is juicy — the sauce is kind of tangy but it balances really well with the pizza sauce"; 9/10 — Keith's highest pizza rating of the entire New York trip
• ·Cheese slice — described as the best cheese slice he'd had since arriving in New York; "this cheese has a lot of flavor — it's not just salty, it's actually like cheese flavor"; homemade sauce and a notably crispy crust; 8.5/10
• ·Pepperoni slice — a classic, well-executed New York slice; "it's a good slice of pepperoni pizza, as simple as a pepperoni pizza can be"; 7.5/10

Keith's verdict: a family-run spot that earned his highest pizza scores of the New York visit across all three slices. The pernil — Dominican slow-roasted pork — was the revelation: 9/10 and the best pizza he'd had in the city. "I see why y'all told me to come to the Bronx." He praised the homemade quality throughout and closed by saying he was happy he made the trip.
