Brooklyn Avenue Pizza Co. in Boyle Heights serves up creative wood-fired pies, including unique mole and veggie options, alongside tasty wings and cocktails in a chill, community-friendly vibe.
"The wood-fired pies coming out of Brooklyn Ave. Pizza Co. in Boyle Heights are similar to Neapolitan-style, with blistered, perfectly chewy crusts. While you’ll certainly be happy with their margherita, we recommend concentrating on the pies that chef Mario Christerna, a Boyle Heights native himself, added to reflect and honor the neighborhood. Take the “Meat Lovers,” which comes topped with pepperoni, sausage, and a beef and pork discada that the chef makes in-house. There’s also the sweet and smoky mole pizza that we’ve eaten twice this week, as well as other items like fries topped with beef chorizo and queso fresco. If you’re thirsty, be sure to grab a few elote Old Fashioneds to go. Brooklyn Ave. also does extensive charity work, working closely with the Boyle Heights Arts Conservatory and C-Cap a nonprofit that empowers underserved youth through the culinary arts." - brant cox, brett keating
