Rose & Joe's Italian Bakery

Below the rumble of the Q train at Ditmars Boulevard, beyond cases of rainbow cookies, biscotti, cannoli, and St. Joseph’s Day pastries, this narrow bakery hides a destination-worthy pizza counter. The shop offers oversized grandma-style (similar to a Sicilian with a thinner crust) slices topped with pepperoni, spinach, olives, or just a trove of shredded mozzarella and each serving is warmed in a pizza oven for prompt, commuter-friendly service.
