Union Pizza Works

"Ah, Italia. Union Pizza Works will transport you right back to the motherland — whether it's the lovely staff, owners Giorgio and Leonardo, the Italian customers, a perfectly refreshing spritz, grandma-style meatballs, deliciously simple pizzas, or the romantic outdoor seating area. There's nothing complicated about Union, just as it should be." - WSDIA | WeShouldDoItAll

"If you're looking for somewhere to eat with several of your Great Danes, try the huge backyard at Union Pizza Works. We really like the Neapolitan pies here, specifically the one that’s built like a sandwich with melted mozzarella, arugula, and prosciutto. This Bushwick pizza spot also works well for an outdoor birthday party, whether its for your or your canine." - team infatuation

"Operating out of a converted warehouse in Bushwick, Union Pizza Works has a menu of Neapolitan pies and a big outdoor patio full of picnic tables. It's a great option for a casual group hang when you don't want to spend more than $40 per person, and it's easy to make a reservation for a group of 10 people online. Try the focaccia pizza, which is built like a sandwich and stuffed with mozzarella and 24-month cured prosciutto di parma. For $5 extra, you can get your crust gluten-free." - hannah albertine, neha talreja, bryan kim

"Union Pizza Works has a huge backyard where you can eat puffy 12-inch Neapolitan pies . Try the one that’s built like a sandwich with mozzarella, arugula, and prosciutto. With plenty of room for groups (and dogs), this place is a great choice for a birthday party or any other sort of casual big-group hang. Also worth mentioning: Union Pizza Works can sub in gluten-free crust for all of their pies." - Neha Talreja, Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Carina Finn Koeppicus

"Union Pizza Works is a neighborhood Neopolitan pizza place in the part of Bushwick where people go on graffiti tours. The space itself is massive, with a front patio area that would be perfectly appropriate for a down-to-earth wedding photoshoot or just a nice Thursday night with your dog and a 12-inch pizza. The pies here are all thin, and have a floppy chewy crust. We especially like the focaccia pizza with 24-month cured prosciutto di parma, melted mozzarella, and arugula. It’s built like a sandwich (essentially two pizzas on top of each other) and we think more pizza places should follow their lead. We’d also suggest supplementing your pizza with a salad or an excellent $16 bowl of mussels, but make sure to stay clear of the Napoli pie with capers and anchovies - it’s way too salty. photo credit: Alex Staniloff" - Hannah Albertine
