Nestled in Brooklyn Bridge Park, Fornino serves up delicious wood-fired pizzas on a vibrant rooftop with stunning views of downtown Manhattan.
"Fornino’s location on Pier 6 in Dumbo is open for delivery, and if you want to eat some Neapolitan-style pizza while walking along the waterfront, you can order takeout as well." - team infatuation
"We get it: your startup in Dumbo is very casual. You can pour yourself a beer from the tap at lunch and wear jorts whenever you want. But rather than drinking another Sixpoint at your desk, head to Fornino and show off that sawed-off denim to some strangers. The big, elevated platform at this Neapolitan pizza spot is a great place to hang outside, and there’s a ton of seating at umbrella-covered picnic tables overlooking downtown Manhattan. Get to know the people in the WeWork pod next to you over some pizza and pitchers of sangria." - matt tervooren
"Fornino isn’t quite as close to the bridge as other Dumbo spots on this guide, but you won’t be complaining about those few extra blocks once you get here. Since it’s a bit of a hike from the subway, carousel, and Empire Stores, it’s not overrun with tourists despite the big outdoor space with fantastic views of the downtown skyline. Also, those extra steps might free up some room for you to try more of the Neapolitan-style pizzas, like the one with brussels sprouts, sausage, and spicy honey. Come after a morning run and try one of the breakfast sandwiches, or meet some friends here in the afternoon for pitchers of sangria, beer, or frozen daiquiris." - matt tervooren
"After the fourth time a tourist asks you to take a picture of them in Dumbo, you may be in need of somewhere a bit more low-key. Take a five-minute Uber or walk south along the water in Brooklyn Bridge Park, and you’ll land at Fornino. In addition to some good Neapolitan-style pizzas and a full bar, this spot at Pier 6 in Brooklyn Heights has a big roof overlooking lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty, with far fewer cameras and I Love New York t-shirts than you’ll find in Dumbo." - matt tervooren
