Wood-fired Neapolitan pizza with creative toppings & gluten-free options
"Brooklyn’s reliable pie shop turns out floppy, personal-size pizzas with crowd-pleasing toppings, from prosciutto and arugula ($23) to vodka sauce and sausage ($23), plus a salty, gooey, funky Calabrese with soppressata ($21) that scratched the exact food-hall itch." - Scott Lynch
"Fornino has been baking pies in Williamsburg since 2004, and they now make wood-fired pies at the city’s second Time Out Market, in Union Square. They serve 10 different pizzas, a few salads, and some appetizers like arancini." - Will Hartman
"Making its first Manhattan appearance (fourth location overall), this Brooklyn pizza chain will serve pizza and salads, with chef-owner Michael Ayoub also operating a stall in the Dumbo market." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Michael Ayoub, the owner of this popular Greenpoint pizzeria and Italian joint, makes his own gluten-free flour that he crafts into a thin, light pizza crust. The result is a base for some of the tastiest pies in New York, such as the Pugliese, sausage with broccoli rabe, mozzarella, pecorino, and Fresno chiles. The soft, almost buttery focaccia is another winner, as are all the salads and dishes from the wood-burning oven, like the Brussels sprouts with a maple balsamic glaze." - Shivani Vora
"If Fornino’s Brooklyn Bridge Park location overlooking the Statue of Liberty is like Alexis Rose, then its Greenpoint spot is like Stevie Budd - it does the best with what it’s got. They’ve set up sidewalk tables out front on Manhattan Ave, and decorated their backyard with colorful tables, hanging lights, and stacks of wood for its pizza oven. Its Neapolitan-style pies are available every day except Monday, with reservations available through their website." - matt tervooren
