Immigrating from Poland after World War II, Rabbi Mayer Mendelsohn opened a small pizza shop in Brooklyn. With no seating and a menu consisting of only Pizza, Falafel and French Fries he established the first kosher pizza store in Boro Park. People would come from far and near to taste and experience the sweet and succulent taste of his products. In 1975 his son Kalman came aboard and helped expand the store by adding seating and featuring new items to the menu. Within 5 years he made Mendelsohn's a household name, attracting customers from around the world. Lines would stretch out the door with people wanting to experience his delicious pizza. Kalman's son Junior, the third generation of Mendelsohn's started his career in the pizza industry in 1990, he also added many new items to the menu, and revolutionized the Frozen Pizza concept.

In 1997 a devastating fire broke out in the store and burnt down a true landmark. Reopening in 1998 fans were relieved that their favorite pizza store was once again back and bigger and better than ever. Today Mendelsohn's Pizza is the Tri States largest pizza store with a seating capacity of 175 persons, and a menu featuring over 100 items to satisfy every taste. So, the next time your in the neighborhood, don't be shy and stop by for your taste buds will thank you forever.
