L&B Spumoni Gardens is a pretty unique place, serving sensational square slices of pizza in the Gravesend section of Brooklyn.

The popular parlor is known for first placing the mozzarella cheese on homemade dough -- before adding their special red sauce and a sprinkling of Pecorino Romano dust.

What you get is like a tomato pie, a delicious inverted slice with the cheese hidden under the sauce.

It's not gourmet by any means, but the beauty is in the way L&B sequences their ingredients.

And the magic is in that sauce, their proprietary red sauce, which is a little sweet and a little tangy.

The sauce is really the star of the show. That’s why they probably put it on top - and why it's rumored to be a well-kept secret... that may (or may not) have gotten people in trouble for trying to steal the recipe.

This is an old school Italian restaurant, deep down in South Brooklyn, with indoor and outdoor seating.

It is one of THE New York spots for pizza so expect it to be very crowded during the summer.

L&B serves ice cream, too.

So worth the trip.
