Still holding its own years later, Fornino is a solid spot for good pizza. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely rooftop views in the Brooklyn Bridge Park Waterfront, service was a bit spotty throughout the meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We both ordered the Mushroom Pizza (personal style with 4 slices) and shared a crisp Romaine Salad. There's a bar on site and while some tables have service, others are designated for ordering yourself at the counter. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Still, it's a fun, enjoyable atmosphere to have delicious pizza.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recommend. read more

Been here many times and finally decided to put a review up. Took kid to pier6 playground so what could be better than pizza and salads after waterpark. The pizza here is consistently great. Mushroom pie is delicious, as is classic Margarita. But my fave over dozen visits remains the prosciutto and fig I also love their watermelon feta salad - light, zesty and refreshing - perfect for summer. Lemonade and hibiscus ice tea is a great way to refresh as well read more

We visited Fornino at their Brooklyn Bridge location for Sunday brunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love the rooftop atmosphere; there were plenty of umbrellas providing shade for the diners.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service here was prompt; as soon as we were seated, we were given a menu to browse. We started with local Brooklyn draft beer and their famous Anna Rose's meatballs served with bread. We then shared the thin-crust Calabrese pizza, which was delicious and more than enough for two people to share. Both dishes are delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a lovely afternoon with good food, a gorgeous Manhattan view as our backdrop, and awesome customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely be returning. read more

Obsessed as per usual! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I just visited this spot yesterday, it is a gorgeous location. Great for photographs or just to enjoy the weather with a delicious pizza of your choice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fornino is my favorite pizza hands-down every time they never miss. I feel like Chef Michael puts so much of himself into the menu in terms of ingredients, selection, and the philosophy behind the dough making, and you could taste that. I ate the entire order. I also ordered their summer pies, one of which was topped with pistachio peaches and pesto. It was like a taste bud celebration. Everything that comes out of that kitchen is gold. read more

I pass by this spot often during my walks, so finally came to check it out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely get a table in the rooftop so you get a view of the city in the background.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once seated, you can scan the QR code to order or go up to the bar as well. The three of us shared the Roast Corn & Coppa ($22) to snack on. The pizza is Neapolitan style, which is light and crispy. The toppings were solid with just a sprinkle of corn. Overall, decent pizza but the food and drinks were a bit pricey. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I guess it comes with the view and vibes of this spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a nice spot for a date or groups though as there's lots of picnic tables --perfect spot for a summer day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

A 4-star pizza (albeit a pricey one) in 3-star ambiance. This location is in Time Out Market, which, as is expected, gets incredibly crowded and is a nearly impossible place to find seating. The wait for this spot was long and some of the rooftop views were entirely blocked by the long line of people waiting for the bathroom. I enjoyed the corn with hot honey pizza otherwise, and I would certainly consider going to one of Fornino's legit location(s) for a redeeming experience. read more

The food here is frozen and defrosted to order. We ordered the Mac and cheese and it was cold in the middle and a bit sour!!! We did get a refund but it makes me wonder about the other food. The pizza is amazing but we also had a hiccup with the ice cream machine- we were told it was operational and then it wasn't! We were charged already then offered the ice cream Cups in the freezer - yeah those were old as well. It had melted and froze again because the cream separated and there was a thick layer of ice on the bottom. Overpriced and not decent read more

Time Out Market is such a fun and lively place to meet friends in Brooklyn. Here you'll get the most beautiful view of the Brooklyn Bridge, whether you're inside, or outside on their deck. During the day or night time, it's very busy here. My friend and I decided to share a Margarita pizza at Fornino. There is a bit of a wait to place your order, but it is worth the wait! You'll be given a buzzing device while you wait for your pizza. This is also a good time to find a place to sit. The pizza at Fornino is made in a wood fired oven. We waited around 40 minutes for it to be ready. There is just one size, it's about the size of a personal pizza. It is precut into four slices. This is a thin pizza, where the edges have a nice amount of char. There was a nice spreading of red sauce and a pretty generous amount of fresh mozzarella. This was a very delicious pizza! You could taste the smoke from the brick oven. I just wish they offered a bigger option. This pizza was $17. We both really enjoyed it! Delicious pizza, great view, and the New York energy. What more could you want?! read more

I've been here a few times and usually sit on their rooftop (which has really nice views), but when I came here last week Friday, it was closed so we sat on the patio. It was peak baby time so there were A LOT of kids around. The weather was really nice, so I was bummed the rooftop was closed. I ordered the Lambrusco and the Roast Corn & Coppa pizza, but asked them to omit the corn (I didn't like the sound of corn on a pizza!). The pizza and wine were great. I could've used more spice on the pizza, but that's just me. The prices here are reasonable. All in all, it's a great option for when you're in Brooklyn Bridge Park. read more

Fornino in Brooklyn Bridge Park is such a great location. A rooftop area, a more casual sitting area downstairs where you can bring your pup - they nailed the breezy casual vibe. My friend and i were here for probably 2 or more hours. We started with the Arancini and couldn't stop ordering more food (the arancini here are some of my favorite ever). Downstairs is a slightly different menu than the roof. I got the mango slushy that they were able to spike with vodka (so good) and my friend ordered off their wine menu. We also got the white sangria which was delicious. We also got the watermelon feta salad and sausage pizza. The watermelon salad was a big portion and really refreshing for summer. Fornino's pizzas are very good, especially given the setup of this restaurant. If you're hanging in Brooklyn Bridge Park for the day, this is an idyllic place to enjoy lunch, dinner, or drinks. read more

Stumbled on this pizza spot while looking for a slice in Brooklyn. This spot is inside a really popular food market and they didn't have any slices so we had to order whole pies. The pies were not that big and are perfect for 2. We tried the monzese, which had sausage, and the funghi, a mushroom pie. The wood fired crust is really firm but had a little more charring than expected. The crust held all the toppings and was crunchy and light. The ingredients were good but could have had more to enhance the pizza as a whole. They have other options such as hot dogs, sandos, and salads so you will find something to snack on here. read more

The dough was very good, but the ingredients on it were too salty. The size of the pizza is quite small. Rather, it is designed for one person. The price of a pizza of this size is quite expensive. We also ordered beer and sangria. The drinks were good, but the price of sangria was like in an expensive restaurant. The girl who took our order was very nice and attentive.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Had our wedding rehearsal dinner here. We reserved the outside upper level for 20 people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They are not open too late so I believe our reservation was for 6-8 pm ish. My side of the family accidentally went to the Greenpoint location, I was worried the staff would be annoyed half our party was late, but they were very nice about it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's very casual with big picknick tables and umbrellas. Great view of the city too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered pitchers of sangria, which seemed a bit over priced. Then we got a whole bunch of pizzas. The whole family loved them all even with everyone's dietary restrictions. The corn one was the best and the pizzas were priced right. My father-in-law was paying for everything, but they do not have table service, everything needs to be ordered at the counter witch was confusing for an old boomer, so we had to help him every time we wanted to order more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It actually did rain towards the end of our dinner and they really don't have any rain protection.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But we were wrapping up anyways at that point.

We were also with a friend's daughter. She ordered the mac and cheese but didn't like it so my husband ate it. We ordered her a hot dog ahead of time didn't like that either said it was hard. I thought she was being a difficult kid but then my husband took a bite and said it definitely was hard and gross. I can't attest to that i didn't try it lol now the margarita was on point .

I ordered the fig and prosciutto pizza and I was very disappointed. I initially went because I was craving pizza but it was a huge let down because firstly, the pizza was very burnt despite being thing. The crust tasted very ashy and the center of the pizza was still soggy. Also, they were very cheap with the toppings, only adding a few pieces of figs and prosciutto despite it being a fig and prosciutto pizza. I wasn't even able to taste the fig and the prosciutto was very salty making it very hard to eat. Overall, if you visit Time Out Market I would recommend going to a different restaurant because there were definitely other places that was way better for its value read more

Had a huge team dinner here about two or three Wednesday's ago. It ran for about 2-3 hours and went very smoothly! We used the outdoor area for our group, consisting of: picnic tables, standing tables, high-top tables, umbrellas...everything you could want. We did the food in a catered style. Food and beverage was all actually very good. I have been here on my own in much smaller groups and it was still good. The vibes are really nice and summery. The roof is also really nice especially when the weather is nice. Service was also efficient and I saw no flaws. They were very accommodating with our large group as well. We had to use a microphone for speeches and they helped with all of the technicalities. I would definitely recommend for larger groups. read more

I only mention this because we shared a pizza at Fornino, but if we had only been eating here, we would have each gotten our own pizza. We got the Calabrese pizza and I got a hibiscus lemonade.

Mhmm wood fired pizza. One of my favorite type of pizza. It's similar to the classic New York slice but taste more smokey and its. kind of thinner. The mushroom and margerita pizzas were on point. It tasted as expected. It was delicious and one almost felt like it wasn't enough. The mushroom pizza had a nice truffle taste to it and the margerita was your classic margherita style.

Fornino is a beautiful spot to stop for lunch or dinner when exploring Brooklyn Heights! The view is a bit obscured due to the volleyball courts nearby, but still great. I believe their seating is only outdoors, so would not suggest coming here in the winter or on a cold day. The location is a walk from the closest subway as well, so make a day of it if you come and walk the Brooklyn bridge piers or to Dumbo. When we went, you ordered off the QR code on the table and someone brought out the food to you. We always like to ask the servers their favorites on the menu before ordering, but it was pretty difficult to stop someone. The food came very quickly. We ordered their watermelon salad and Al Roker Pizza. The watermelon salad was solid, with nice and sweet watermelons but a bit expensive for the quantity given. The Al Roker pizza was good; the roasted pepper flavor comes out well. Their pizzas are individual sized pizzas (or one person would likely eat at least 3 out of 4 of the slices). Overall, their food is good but nothing special. Since there's not too many food options that close to the water, I would certainly suggest this place if you're trying to explore this beautiful area! read more

Slightly overpriced but decent pizza, apps, and sangria pitchers! Definitely one of those places to go for the vibe but not necessarily if you are looking for good pizza spots. Although the outdoor seating area is nice, you don't actually get to see any views because you're blocked by trees and fences around nearby volleyball nets. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a vibey outdoor spot to enjoy nice pizza and beers/wine though! read more

At Fornino Brooklyn Bridge Park you'll find fantastic views of the city skyline and volleyball courts down below, absolutely delicious wood-fired pizza, and totally spaced out picnic benches in the open air. When the weather's nice, this is quintessential summer vibes in covid times, replete with icy cold palomas and an actual enforcement of mask wearing when ordering or when patrons are away from their own table. This location is very ideal for casual group hangs. You order drinks at the bar and food separately at a different counter. Paying the bill can get tricky with group meals, particularly when certain friends like to throw back a few more drinks than others, but when each person has to open their own individual bar tab splitting the bill is a non issue. I'm that certain friend, btw. They really know how to make great pies here, so if a pie sounds good to you, you're bound to enjoy it. The Melanzane, which has ricotta, basil, eggplant, tomato and parmesan was *chefs kiss* as was the Peaches E Prosciutto. They even had a cheeseless pie for our friend with a dairy allergy that was made delicious by the copious amount of garlic and olive oil on top. The crust is so good here that it carries its weight to make each pie delicious, with cheese or not. Aside from the pizza the smashed potatoes and rice balls were so tasty our small group quickly devoured two orders of each. We ended our meal with a round of paletas, these amazing popsicles they serve from the store La New Yorkina, with flavors like mango chili and horchata. On a hot summer's night we couldn't have asked for a more refreshing way to round out the evening. read more

Great spot to eat pizza with a view but that's about it. I've been to their Greenpoint location before and thought the food was fantastic. Unfortunately, I don't think this location met the same bar of quality. It wasn't bad, but nothing special either. We ordered the Funghi Misti (mushroom truffle) and Margherita Classica. Our pies came in less than 10 minutes. The crust was a bit on the soft side and the Funghi Misti could've used more truffle oil. They accept reservations and will give up your table if you do not arrive within 15 minutes. All staff wore masks; menus and tables were wiped down. To order, you have to go up to the front. Everyone was very understanding and accomodating. If you're looking for a casual place where you can sit down and have a nice meal with a view, this is a great place to consider. If you're a big foodie on a gourmet hunt for the best pie (or something to remind you of the times in Italy), I'd suggest checking the other pizza parlors near DUMBO or Fornino's Greenpoint location on a day where hopefully chef Michael Ayoub is in. read more

Mid-afternoon on a sunny Saturday, this multi-level pizzeria had less people than usual for lunch time. Took the opportunity to get a table for two on their rooftop dining area (with umbrellas for shade). Decided to split the "Al Roker" ($20), with the sopresatta on only one side of the pizza. After a short wait, pizza arrives - crust is thin and cooked well without being burnt. Cheese and sauce is evenly distributed, with the meat balancing out the sweet flavors. To drink, opted for one of their draft beers ($7), though the cocktails looked very intriguing. Service is abound and they do accommodate deviations from the pizza toppings. Aside from pizza, there are sandwiches and hot dogs as well, so there should be something for everyone. read more

L'industrie Pizzeria

L'Industrie is easily one of the best pizzas I have ever had in the world--and trust me, I've eaten…read morepizza all over, including L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele in Napoli, Italy. It is definitely the best pizza in the US; I say this even after visiting Frank Pepe and Sally's in New Haven, and it's honestly not even close. On our last day before heading back to SF, we ordered a massive whole pie: half burrata, half pepperoni. It nailed the classic NYC slice with a thin, crisp crust and the perfect balance of cheese and sauce. It was so good that my daughter finished her burrata half over three separate sittings: at the shop, on the plane, and once she got home. The pie just kept calling to her! Be prepared for long lines, but it is worth it (and the Brooklyn location definitely has shorter lines than the Manhattan spots). It's not really a sit-down place, so you just have to grab a spot at the bar-top tables if you can find room. The service was good and fast. The cashier who took our order was amazing--absolutely love her--though she did forget to hand us our chocolate Bombolone. L'Industrie is a premier New York institution and busy for a reason: it is top-quality pizza!

We got a Tartufo slice and the gelato with olive oil and sea salt seasoning. Firstly, to all the people working there - kudos! They were doing a great job in managing the crowds with a tight space in insane heat - all that with a smile. Onto the food - I honestly preferred the gelato over the pizza. The pizza wasn't bad - but it wasn't great either. The gelato was perfect for a hot summer day -- the watermelon seasonal option was ideal for a hot summer day. Is the hype and price worth it? Personally, not entirely.

Di Fara Pizza

Di Fara Pizza is a renowned pizzeria located at 1424 Avenue J in the Midwood neighborhood of…read moreBrooklyn, New York City. Situated at the corner of East 15th Street and Avenue J, the establishment was owned and managed by Domenico DeMarco (1936-2022), but now his family continues that legacy. Food critics and bloggers frequently rank it among the top pizzerias in New York City. Di Fara has received numerous accolades, including being named the "Best pizza in New York" by publications such as New York and Serious Eats. The New York Times described the restaurant as "one of the most acclaimed and sought-after pizza shops in New York City." In 2011, Zagat ranked it as the top pizza restaurant in the city, and in 2013, Frommer's called its pizza "the Best Hand-Made Pizza in New York City." Chef Anthony Bourdain also expressed admiration for the restaurant's pizza. I had long hoped to visit Di Fara, so I decided to make a trip from Connecticut. Upon entering, my son and I observed that it was quite busy. There is also a window for ordering, but we chose to go inside to order our food to experience the atmosphere fully. We each ordered a freshly prepared Sicilian slice. Unlike some places, there was no pre-made pizza on display. Each slice is made to order, and it takes about twenty-five minutes to prepare. When we received our pizza, it was notably greasy. The Sicilian slices resembled a full meal, topped with garlic and pepperoni. The garlic was quite prominent and flavorful, adding a nice punch which I liked. The pepperoni was crispy, and the undercarriage had a nice crunch, though it was also quite oily. In my personal opinion, it wasn't the best slice I've ever tasted. However, I understand that when the owner, Dom, was alive, the pizza was considered exceptional by many. I would rate it around 3.5 stars, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to experience pizza from one of New York's most iconic establishments.

I tried looking up this pizza from Target Richfield for a review, but it sent me to the NYC location, so forgive me if this review is in the wrong thread. Anyway, wow. I've been to New York City and ate at the original Joe's Pizza. What an epic slice of pizza. Now back home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the great white north of snow that never ends, I finally tried the frozen Di Fara pepperoni pizza from Target no less. Sorry Joe's, but this is on par with your pizza (if it was frozen). Dave Portnoy was right with his high review. This pizza is very good. The thick cut pepperoni, great basil, and the crisp chewy crust was excellent for a frozen pizza. Nice under carriage as well. I cooked the pizza at 480 degrees in an electric pizza oven for 10 minutes, and the result was very good. I added a drizzle of hot honey, and it was spectacular (okay, I also added some fresh picked jalapeños as well). The pizza was hot and melted in the center, and the crust was very crisp, but still had some chew. Wow. This was the best frozen pizza I have had. Bar none. New York, you spoiled me when it came to pizza. Now I can get a taste of New York at home. Great job! I may or may not eat the last 3 pieces currently sitting in the fridge before bed.

Super fun, if slightly tight dining room.

Fresh mozzarella, a nicely thin crisped crust, sweet tomato sauce, and fresh basil makes this simple pizza taste great. The fried calamari also impressed. It tasted notably fresh--light, clean, and not overly chewy like pre-frozen versions can sometimes be. While I can't say for certain, it had that just-prepared quality that makes a difference. The Caprese salad was a great way to start the meal, with fresh tomatoes, creamy burrata, and a balsamic drizzle was a nice light start. The atmosphere leans old-school Italian, which adds to the charm and character. Service was fine--nothing remarkable, but no major issues either. That said, my overall rating takes a big hit solely for the restaurants ridiculous tipping policy choices rather than the food itself. The automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill was frustrating. The menu does indicate that 18%, will automatically apply, or will be 20% for parties of six or more. We were only three people, so it felt inconsistent and unnecessary. On top of that, the added cost for credit card usage didn't help. I don't mind tipping for good service! In fact, I tip well--but I prefer having the choice and I'm old school so it's the principle of the matter. Being forced into it, takes away from an otherwise enjoyable meal. Bottom line: the food is strong and worth trying, but the billing practices leave a bad taste. If those were adjusted, this could easily be a higher-rated experience.

The space is relatively small, with a line inside and outside and a few tables outside. The length of the line and wait time varies based on the time of day and if you go on a weekday vs weekend. Go early if you don't want them to sell out of anything or purposely go a little later if you want one of their lunch sandwiches on focaccia. I have had the tomato and garlic focaccia twice now and each time it has been exceptional. Minor critique, the slices of garlic could be a bit smaller. I also had the shakshuka focaccia which is divine and I would absolutely recommend both. I need to come back to try their sandwiches as well. I am not a sweets person, but everyone I know loves their pastries. Getting someone a gif tcard here makes for a great gift.

I'm usually more of a savory girlie but all the sweet items we tried were great, especially the rhubarb croissant and the earl grey morning bun. I really enjoyed the focaccia sandwiches (smoked salmon and pea/mint/feta were elite) and the artichoke green garlic slice. The flavor of the sesame stirato was excellent but the bread itself was a tad too chewy for the filling we got with it (tuna salad), so that style probably works better with the jambon beurre. Will definitely be on the rotation whenever I'm in the city -- would love to try some of their seasonal/limited edition items one day, though not sure if I have it in me to brave the lines that can form on the weekends, lol!

It was an absolute lifesaver that kept the girls happily entertained. And the food was absolutely worth savoring. We kicked things off with a round of handrolls--salmon avocado, spicy salmon, and yellowtail--which were perfectly crisp and packed with fresh fish. I went all in on the Salmon Lovers set, and it was an absolute dream. It came with a massive, beautiful spread of salmon sushi, seven thick pieces of melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, a salmon avocado roll, a bright kani salad, and a really savory piece of grilled salmon. We also shared the Ysukiji sushi platter, which featured a gorgeous, high-quality assortment of cuts, while the Smoked Chicken bento box was a huge hit, offering fantastic cooked flavors and generous portions. The room we were in mimicked a traditional Japanese room where everyone had to sit on the floor and put their legs under the table. It was fun for the younger people but it was difficult for the elders to sit down and get back up. Between the incredibly fresh sushi and the warm hospitality that kept the whole family smiling the entire time, this spot easily earned five stars. We can't wait to come back!
