I've had the Pignoli cookies from both places and I must admit that they were fantastic. However, in my opinion, the best pignoli cookies out there are from a bakery called Royal Crown. They probably have the best overall italian cookies that I've ever had.
14th Avenue, right?
GREAT bakery.
Yes. They also have one on Staten Island. However I do believe that ALL the baking is done over in the 14th Avenue Bklyn store and then the bread and the cookies are shipped over to S.I. on a daily basis.
Their bread is to die for!
