Delicious pizza, tiramisu and espresso. Minimal and stylish interior, very cool slightly avantgarde background music. I‘ll go back soon.

I’ve been here a couple times, really consistent and delicious! The Caesar salad is sooo good and the soft serve is a must. The atmosphere is great too, feels like you’ve been there before. Overall, really good food and I think it’s fairly priced.

After finding this place on a best of Brooklyn list, I was pretty excited to try it out, but in hindsight I would have been better off going to that one pizza place some people may know about a block away. The sourdough itself is very good, the pizza toppings range from unimaginative to pretty bad (probably skip the clams and cheese pie) and the fries that come with the burger are easily top 10 worst fries I’ve ever had. I was curious about the oysters, but having asked our neighbors at the table next to ours about them, their review of the $4/pc oysters was pretty discouraging to even try them. “So-so”, they said, while their face was reading something a lot less polite.

Our waitress clearly forgot to put in one of our orders because they for some reason refuse to write anything down, then when asked about it said it’ll only be 5 minutes as if it was coming all along. In her defense, it took only about 5-7 after I asked, but that’s conveniently the amount of time it takes to fire a pizza in a brick oven anyways so it more or less proved she forgot. Honesty would have looked better.

The orange peel rosemary oil they pour over the olives kind of washes the salt and subsequently the flavor off the olives themselves, and it must have been hot, since it also cooked them, which gave them the exact same texture and similar flavor to cheap shelf-stable canned olives such as Lindsay or Pearls. This place is a bar through and through that just happens to serve pizza because they had exceptional drink options and the one genuinely good thing they serve is the charcuterie plate. So in a summarized review of this place: Come here for drinks, get a charcuterie plate to share, then don’t waste your time and head to L’industrie or any of the bars that have pinball a block or two away. The food, today on a Monday night was unfortunately forgettable and overpriced. 4.8/10

I was hungover, running late to work and in dire need of some food on my way to the train. Spotted Leo and went in to grab a regular slice to save me. And damn it did not disappoint! I was pleasantly surprised. The girl at the counter with the commodore sweatshirt was so sweet and accommodating! Even just the regular cheese slice was excellent. Can’t wait to come back and actually sit down and enjoy a pie with some friends.

Totally awesome pizza, we got the clam pie. Chopped salad was honestly impressive. Both of the reds btg were a+.

Great alternative to L'Industrie down the street, don't wait on that line just to eat standing up. 🙄

Ordered from last night; brought home and my buddy who was more than a little high insists to this morning this pizza was boxed to look like PAC-MAN eating a ghost. Management, can you please confirm if pizzas are intentionally boxed to look like pac-man eating a ghost? Thank you.

Went on a Friday evening around 9 and was able to get a two top outside right away. The host and wait staff were beyond accommodating and friendly as we struggled to make up or minds about whether to sit in or outside. They let us sit to order vino and an app while we waited for an inside table to open up. The app and drinks arrived so quickly that we decided to stay put. Delicious orange wine, meatballs, pizza (soppressata on a margherita..delicious) and tiramisu…! Will definitely be going back.

GREAAAAAAAAAT amount of food. That's the main pro. Taste-wise, decent.

We came here for dinner as a table for 4. One of the orders didn’t come out and when we asked we were told that they’re not making that dish. This should have been flagged immediately after ordering, not when everyone got their orders and we had to ask. They did offer to comp a different entree, but again at that point everyone else had their food so we just split. They didn’t take anything else off the bill or offer a discount.

As for the food, it’s very basic, nothing stands out and wouldn’t come back. Definitely way better pizzas and pastas in the neighborhood.

Food was good but service wasn’t quite not great.

One member of our party ordered kale lasagna and the waiter / kitchen waited until all of the other dishes were coming out to tell us that the lasagna wasnt going to be ready for that evening for awhile

Got salad, pizza and cocktails, which were all good. We wanted to try more dishes/drinks. They could have upsell but totally missed the mark as we rather received uneven services compared to the adjacent tables. Staffers seemed more majority-friendly, if you can read between the lines. It’s unfortunate.

Music was great, that’s it. Couldn’t find seating inside so we had to sit outside but our seats were the only ones without working heaters. Pizza is a joke crust is tasteless almost no cheese and overpriced. Waiter stopped us for bringing outside drinks when we were sitting outside to begin with. Pretentious ambience with mediocre performance. Sweet waitress though.
