What people are usually looking for
A search for Italian restaurants Staten Island covers a wide table. Some people want a white-tablecloth dinner. A lot of people want the meal they already know from a Staten Island pizzeria: a round cheese pie, a hero that actually fills the roll, a pan of baked ziti, or a tray that can feed the house. Brooklyn's Finest Pizza is the second kind of place. It has been at 1250 Hylan Boulevard since 2012, in the 10305 part of the East Shore.
The kitchen is Italian-American in the way a New York pizzeria is Italian-American. Dough, sauce, mozzarella, and the heroes, pastas, and squares that grew up next to the slice counter. It is not a tasting-menu restaurant, and this page will not pretend it is. If you want a pie, a sandwich, or a pasta dinner without a long drive off Hylan Boulevard, this is the shop.
What is on the table
Start with pizza, because that is the name on the door. The menu lists a classic round cheese pie, a thick crust Sicilian cheese pizza, and a grandma's pizza with fresh mozzarella. Specialty large pies sit beside those, including a hot honey roni and other house combinations. You can also build from the toppings the menu already offers. Prices change, so confirm them on the menu or when you order online.
The rest of the menu is why people treat the shop like an Italian restaurant and not only a slice window. Neighborhood heroes run long: chicken parm, meatball parm, veal parm, eggplant, sausage and peppers, and a lot of neighborhood names on the sandwich list. Pasta covers plates such as baked ziti, penne vodka, and other sauces the menu posts. Salads, wraps, wings, and 8-ounce brisket-and-sirloin burgers are there when the table does not all want the same thing.
Kid-friendly plates are on the menu. So are gluten-free pizza, gluten-free pasta, cauliflower crust, and soy cheese. Those options are listed so a mixed table can eat together. They are not a promise that the kitchen is an allergen-free room. The shop handles wheat, milk, eggs, and other common allergens. Call (718) 815-7070 before you order if someone at the table has an allergy, and read the terms for the allergen note.
Sit down, pick up, or send an order
The dining room is open during posted hours for a sit-down meal. Pickup is the counter version of the same kitchen. Delivery exists, and the ordering site is where you confirm whether your address is inside the delivery area. Do not assume a neighborhood is covered because it is on Staten Island. Check at checkout on Order Online.
Online ordering lives at order.brooklynsfinestsi.com. Every Order Online button on this site goes there. You can also call (718) 815-7070 during open hours and the counter will take the order. Hours are Monday through Thursday 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Friday and Saturday 10:00 AM to 10:30 PM, and Sunday 10:30 AM to 10:00 PM.
When the table gets bigger
Catering trays use the same kitchen. A half tray is portioned for 6–9 people and a full tray for 10–15. That is the right tool for an office, a Sunday dinner, or a birthday that does not need a banquet hall. The catering page lists the trays. For a group that wants the dining room itself, the parties page is the one to read: call with the date, the head count, and whether you want pies, heroes, or trays.
The full menu is the list to read before you come in, and private parties are how a birthday or a family table uses the dining room. If you are comparing Italian restaurants Staten Island and you mostly want pizza, heroes, and pasta on Hylan Boulevard, come to 1250 Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10305 or start an order online.
