Brooklyn South is an amazing spot to head to for lunch or dinner. Having been in the Lake Norman area for many years, they have always delivered great service and great food. And in addition to all that they can host parties or events in a reserved room at the restaurant which is fantastic. The catering they offer is high-quality as well. The speciality here is New York/Brooklyn-style pizza and it shows in the large portions and the quality of their ingredients, particularly the dough and marinara; and the pizza always come out right out of the oven very hot, just as it should. They also offer some other items like desert cannoli and salads which are also tasty. I don't think I have ever had a bad meal or a negative experience here, and I don't believe I ever will. Thanks Brooklyn South!

Had to try after seeing a TikTok review that looked yummy. Being from Long Island we are always trying to find good pizza places. Ordered a plain pie, a Sicilian pie and knots. Everything was so delicious. And bonus points for quick service and adequate pricing.

We were looking for a good LOCAL pizza place while we were on vacation at Lake Norman and came across Brooklyn South. We ordered carry out and it was ready fast and tasted out of this world. The stuffed pizza was delicious and their sauce tastes super authentic. We highly recommend trying this place out if you are looking for some good pie in Cornelius, North Carolina.

Craving a slice of pie, and this place met that perfectly. This was fresh and hot, with just the right amount of greasiness for the perfect flavor. The sauce had a nice taste, not too sweet or too acidic. The crust was nice and thin, like I like it, NY style. I just wish it were a little more chewy, that would have made it absolute perfection. I only wanted a couple of slices of pepperoni to go, so I didn't even look at the menu to see what else they offered or their complete complement of toppings, but I'll definitely be back and I'll check out the rest of the menu.

We love Brooklyn South Pizzeria! It’s a great spot for a casual yet sit down dinner. The food is all delicious! Everything we’ve had has been so good and it all tastes fresh. The staff is always nice. You order at the front then your food is delivered to your table. Once you’re done eating, you leave your dishes at the table. We get the white pizza with pepperoni, the Stromboli with ham is my favorite, and the cannolis are so good.

Just discovered this place a few weeks ago and have been hooked since. The food, Service, and overall Quality is incredible. I love coming to dine in as well as quick call in and take out orders. I give a 5 star review except for "Atmosphere" reason being is the Tv's are never on when I dine in which is not the biggest problem it would just be nice to watch sports or any tv show of their choice rather than a blank screen. 10/10 food and employees.
