Cafe Nino

Stopped by Cafe Nino with the kids tonight for a slice or two of pizza. They split 3 slices of cheese pizza, where I was a bit more adventuresome, ordering a couple slices of combination pepperoni/sausage. Cafe Nino advertises "Brooklyn New York Style" pizza, and I would say they don't disappoint. The pizza is thin, with a nice charred crust and a nice balance of cheese and sauce. Owner Nino Bongiorno is usually on hand to serve you personally. The restaurant itself is threadbare in its setting, when you walk in you see a cafeteria-style row of the day's specials, complete with sneeze-guard, and the by-the-slice pizza at the end. You make your order, get your drinks, sit down for a moment at one of the seven to eight booths lined up against the wall a few feet away (with a nice view of South Carrollton), then pick the food up yourself. When you're done, you proceed to the cash register and recite your order to the cashier, who totals your bill. I found the two gentleman working the line (Nino included) to be very friendly. Be warned: NO CREDIT CARDS ARE ACCEPTED. With no cash on hand, I had to make a run down to the nearest ATM and come back. So bring plenty of cash and enjoy a taste Brooklyn.
