Best Pizza in Brooklyn! Be prepared, this place is always busy but it's worth it.
The pizzas are all medium pies. The crust is thin, the ingredients are fresh, and the taste is dynamic.

Neighborhoods
Situated by the waterfront in Brooklyn’s northernmost corner, bridging the popular enclaves of Williamsburg and Long Island City, Greenpoint is an eclectic star in the North Brooklyn neighborhood constellation. A somewhat sleepy industrial neighborhood for much of the 20th century, Greenpoint was settled by Polish immigrants who came here to work along the waterfront nearly a century ago. In the 21st century, having been made irreversibly famous by the hit TV series Girls, it has become one of the most desirable residential areas in Brooklyn.
