Ops Pizza and Wine in Bushwick Is the Best Brooklyn Weeknight Hang | Eater NY

"Low on frills and rich in pizza, this Bushwick spot keeps a physically tiny menu split into cocktails, plates, pizza, more pizza, and desserts. Each pie comes on a delicious sourdough crust with fresh toppings sourced mostly from local farms (listed on their website), and the room’s sexy low lighting, tiled floors, and warm brick walls make it perfect for a weeknight dinner hang. You cannot go wrong with a simple margherita, topped with house mozzarella and fresh basil—the platonic ideal and a must for first-timers. If you are an onion freak like me, go for the "pops" with guanciale, pecorino, and lots of onions; the bites are a little sweet from the onions and a little salty from the guanciale, a beautiful combination. Ask your server if there’s a calzone that day; what’s inside changes (mine had mozzarella, peppers, and sausage) and each comes with a bowl of marinara on the side. For dessert, opt for the chocolate and amaro cake, a flourless, gluten-free confection topped with whipped ricotta that stays perfectly not too sweet while delivering all the chocolate goodness you want. There’s also an extensive wine list, and they’ll let you taste until you find one that’s right for your dinner, plus vegan and gluten-free pizza options if you have those dietary needs." - Avery Dalal
