Score
Brooklyn Boys Pizza has been inspected 13 times since 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Sep 11, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around three violations, down from roughly five violations earlier in the record.
Across the inspection history, “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded three times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Keystone Heights restaurant scores 82. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
