"Brooklyn pizza pop-up Bad Cholesterol grew into a full-fledged restaurant this month as Third Time’s the Charm, from owner and chef Chris Milazzo, opened in Red Hook at 275 Van Brunt Street, near Visitation Place, on Thursday, October 16. The menu centers on sourdough pizza like a spicy margherita and mushrooms, with specials such as the White Lotus Season 2 (with Calabrian chiles, pistachio, blue agave, and red onions) and the Gowanus Goddess (a vegan pie with garlic slivers). Other dishes include the Trademark Infringement (basically Outback’s bloomin’ onion), chicken nuggets with a gochujang dip, and fries served with a spicy tomato jam. Currently, the restaurant is operating with limited hours, with its full-on opening starting on Friday, October 24. The approximately 2,000-square-foot space can fit 50 people, and there’s a heated, enclosed backyard. Reservations can be booked online, and bar seats are open for walk-ins. It’s open for dinner Wednesday through Friday and weekend lunch and dinner." - Nadia Chaudhury
