The pizza was good but a huge cockroach started crawling across the wall right next to our table (we were by the kitchen). The staff didn’t seem very concerned and lacked urgency as the cockroach slowly made its way across the wall and disappeared behind a wooden beam.

We arrived there while Tuck Decker was singing Frank Sinatra songs (every 1st/3rd Tuesday of the Month). It was cozy but very loud, it would have been more enjoyable if the sound system was a tad lower.
Anyway about the pizzas, the taste was actually pretty good, ingredients were solid. The only sad thing, big parts of the curst were burned which is a pity. Therefore a 3 star review, decent but wouldn't come back

Use a credit card with good customer service so you can chargeback easily if you come here. This restaurant scams you by adding extra charges on to the bill and manager refuses to help because “they are busy”😅and to top it all off food is genuinely horrible. Meatball tastes like vomit and pizza is all burnt with a fishy taste😂and no I’m not emailing you goofy you shoulda solved my problem when I called👍

I’ve been going to Paulie Gee’s for years, which never disappoints me. Lately, I’ve mostly just grabbed slices from their little joint around the corner for a quick fix, which is always solid. But with family in town this weekend, I finally made a proper reservation to sit down at the OG spot in Greenpoint and have a whole pizza experience. And still so good!
Paulie Gee’s makes Neapolitan-style pizza, and it does it right. In a city flooded with pizza hype and constant “best-of” lists, crowning one king is impossible. But judging by the original Hellboy pie, it’s up there. It's sweet, spicy, crispy, and soft—just a perfect combo.
The restaurant itself is super chill. There is no scene, just good vibes, good pies, and a cold beer. It's the perfect spot to hang with friends or show off NYC pizza culture to visiting family. Depending on your crew, they’ve got different pie sizes, and while they have other menu items, my advice is to skip the distractions and stay focused on the pizza.
One standout worth calling out: their fennel vegan sausage. Even if you don’t usually go for meat alternatives, give it a try. It’s packed with flavor and a perfect option if you’re trying to stay veggie without missing the “meatiness.”
Again, NYC pizza is a crowded game, but Paulie Gee’s has been consistently great for years, and that says everything. If you haven’t been, go. If you’ve been, go again.

I tried the Bill and Sal's Excellent Adventure IPA on draft and was not disappointed. My gal had a Paulie Colada which substituted amaretto instead of rum and she loved it. The Daniela Spinachi with the tomato sauce instead of just white was absolutely delightful. The arancini was amazing with the melted mozzarella inside and tomato sauce outside complemented it so well. Our server, Jordan was warm and welcoming, super attentive, and so on her game. The flexibility on the sauce was a big deal and made for an even better meal. The atmosphere is classic old nyc brick and wood with pizza related cultural artifacts. Oh, yeah, easy street parking! Are you kidding me? C'mon. Loved it and will absolutely be back.

I’ve been here many times over 10+ years, it was always very good…sad to say but it seems to have fallen off. I’m seeing in other reviews that they changed mgmt, which probably explains it. I recently went with some family visiting from out of town for lunch and got two pies, a ricotta/arugula and a magherita that the menu said came topped with fresh basil. Check out the pic to see how much actual basil the pie came with 😂 Also the tomato sauce was super bland. There was four of us, our server recommended we get three pies but we figured we’d start with two and take it from there. Suffice to say nobody was really interested in a third. Service was decent but we were one of only two tables and our server forgot one of our drinks. Unless you’re craving a vegan pie there’s better pizza options nearby these days.
it was great experience ! hellboy pizza is amazing???♀️ definitely going back.

The restaurant had a rustic feel, low lights, nice art. Customer service was okay. The pizza was $23 for a 12” with 6 slices. The dough wasn’t too quality, tasted like all purpose flour, very chewy, flimsy and the crust did NOT have a crisp. The restaurant perhaps is cutting costs and not purchasing bread flour or double zero flour which would give a much better foundation and crust. I would not return for the pizza until they use better quality flour. The good thing was the Saratoga water, but it costs $8. The alternative is tap water and they didn’t say filtered tap water. So my date night experience could have been better.
Our waitress was sweet but the pizza was not hot at all. We had to send our arancini back as well because it was cold in the middle. Unfortunately this spot is a no-go for maybe. Maybe it was just an off day for them...idk
