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

This spot was never anything glamorous, but they have decent pizza a nice roof view and used to have the best chicken Caesar salad. Well, that's no longer worth going for. I don't know why they changed perfection but the new version is crap frozen chicken cutlet and bagged croutons, versus the previous salad which was much more fresh. Regardless of that, they are a QR code ordering spot which makes it a fairly impersonal spot, now that my favorite salad is kinda garbage I don't see any reason to return. read more

Stopped by the takeout area for some refreshing non-alcoholic drinks and was satisfied with our $6 Mango and $6 Strawberry smoothies. Can't say for food or other drinks. Plenty of outdoor seating in the park. We chose to grab-and-go. Price is high but as expected since the area has no other restaurants nearby. Conveniently located next to the ferry dock. read more

The rooftop is a must visit when the weather cooperates. There's a bar with fabulous cocktails and great bartenders and a view for days.

The pizza was outstanding, especially the fig & prosciutto pizza. However, Yelp steered us wrong on the location. We were in Dumbo & my wife suggested going to Fornino for lunch. I pulled up the restaurant on Yelp. The *only* location listed is Pier 6, about a mile's walk. Yelp ignored the location in Dumbo. read more

lmao.. not sure if we went on the absolute wrong day but the staff had no clue how to service or what they even served that day. I thought these people had just come and taken the workers hostage during a burglary. they didnt know how to work the register and didnt know what they served at the bar. One of the pizza was burnt and was too bitter to eat. Pretty bad even if it is convenient by the bridge. oh i almost forgot to point out the public restroom they share with the park visitors. Never again... read more

Really loved this open air on top lookout to the beautiful skyline of NYC and the brooklyn bridge. The drinks were good. We ordered sangria for our table and two pizzas. They have long tables which is good for big groups. As wells as they have separate areas to order your food and drinks. The atmosphere encourages good conversation as well as the music playing in the background is not too loud. We were there on a friday night and the place was packed but we were still able to find seating for a group of six. Would definitely be back at this spot. read more

Excellent view, great food and good service. Fornino is a brilliant place to relax and enjoy the Manhattan skyline. I would highly recommend making reservations for the second floor rooftop restaurant - they get quite busy. Seating style is quite casual - with long tables and benches and high tables as well. For starters we got the Smashed Potatoes, Meatballs and Watermelon Salad. The Watermelon Salad is very underwhelming - the feta cheese simply does not go with the watermelon. However, the Smashed Potatoes are brilliant - especially with the dip. And the Meatballs are so tasty. Their Neapolitan pizzas are incredible. We got the Formaggio, Classic Margherita, Funghi Misti and the Salsiccia di Pollo. The Salsiccia di Pollo was just above average. All the other three pizzas are absolutely fantastic. read more

Whoo! They had patio dining and a rooftop. Tons of space to enjoy outdoor dining. The tables were socially distanced. The staff wore masks. Hand sanitizer was available. The pizzas are made in a wood burning oven. After getting seated (for the rooftop area), you go up to the kitchen to and to the bar (2 separate things) and order your drinks and food. It's a good system that works because you just pay then and there and eat at your leisure instead of waiting for service. They do bring out your food so you don't have to go up and get it. The staff was nice. The service was quick. We sat down, ordered and finished eating in like 30-45 min. It was insanely fast...we were also hungry. The food is good. The pies come out cut into 4 slices. The food & drink: White Sangria - delicious and refreshing Lombardi - nice, light and refreshing (note: no sauce), slightly burnt crust, but delicious in general Kale salad - delicious, nicely dressed, tons of delicious pistachios TLDR: the food was delicious, they didn't have any rice balls. great location on pier 6 with great views from the rooftop read more

Excellent pizza at Brooklyn bridge park! Ordered on their website for takeout so we could have a picnic. It took about 30 min for two pizzas and an appetizer which is pretty reasonable. We got the Melanzane and Monzese which were both delicious. The Melanzane was my favorite with eggplant and ricotta which was a great combination. The Monzese was a very solid sausage pizza and had good flavors. We also got the rice balls which were a bit on the salty side but was still pretty good and the inside was very creamy and savory. Overall a very excellent pizza spot in Brooklyn bridge park and very convenient. My go to spot from now on! read more

Gorgeous views, open rooftop, great pizza! Try to get a reservation if you can to get a seat at the rooftop otherwise not sure how long the wait is and you might need to find a seat downstairs instead where the view isn't as great. They do a solid New York pizza at a personal pizza size. We got the zucchini e pesto ($17) and the funghi misti ($17). The funghi misti was sooo goood! Such a great blend of cheeses and strong mushroom flavor. Even the crust was delicious. The zucchini was kind of bland but still good. Probably would switch to something different next time. COVID times assessment: The rooftop area is nice and open (but also means your pizza gets colder faster on a chilly night). 1.5 hour limit on reservations. read more

On a beautiful Spring Saturday afternoon, my daughter and I stopped in at Fornino for drinks in this beautiful setting! Fornino has a great location in Brooklyn Bridge Park overlooking the lower Manhattan skyline. The seating is long benches and a happy crowd. The pizza looked great, but we just had drinks which were very good. I recommend the sangria! The servers only served food, not drinks, so you have to go to bar yourself and get them. Little odd, but no big deal. read more

Such a charming pizza place! Gorgeous rooftop located right in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Went on a beautiful sunny day when there were kiddos playing soccer, teams playing beach volleyball, and a plethora of people walking their dogs while I enjoyed my pizza and sangria. In other words, eating here is a holistic serotonin-boosting experience. That being said, the pizza wasn't the best. It was flavorful and tasted great but the cheese was extremely thick (to the point that the pizza was very rubbery when it cooled down). Some people like thick cheese but the pizza just wasn't for me. Drinks, however, were excellent. I'd definitely come back here for a lovely refreshing drink on a sunny park day. read more

Fornino is a nice hidden gem on the Brooklyn bridge park. I found it on a site as one of the best rooftops bars in nyc . I have to say it is one of the best. They have great food and excellent customer service. Me and my wife order personal pie for each . She order the classic margarita and I order the chicken sausage pizza. They were both delicious. I recommend the Italian corn on the cob. Now that appetizer is something special. The shrimp on the cocktail was great I just feel they give more sauce than shrimp. We also had the Brooklyn ipa on draft . The whole meal came out to less than 100 dollars. This place has an awesome view. I recommend to go after sunset. I also recommend this place because they have fast service. I do suggest to make a reservation. Overall 10/10 for this place .. owners should be proud of their staff Z read more

Hidden gem for wood fired pizza! Love to see local families and sports teams come here, but feel like it's lesser known to tourists. The pizza is delicious with lots of various specialty pizzas. Also many gluten free options! Kale salad is also delicious. Drinks are always good as well. Awesome place to go in the summer to enjoy the weather and views of the city. read more

Super disappointed in my second trip to Fornino. My boyfriend and I raved about this place in the past and decided to return with both our moms. We ordered inside, got a number, and grabbed a table outside. We waited. And waited. And continued to wait. No pizza. Meanwhile new patrons around us were receiving their food even though arriving much later than us. Eventually we went inside and asked what was going on. The staff had no idea what to do and seemed completely confused. Finally they found a manager who came over to our table. No apology. He just simply said, "We looked for you upstairs." We found this ridiculous considering we were told we could sit anywhere - up or down. Our pizza arrived five minutes later. And to make it all even better-2 of the 3 pizzas were ice cold, clearly having sat somewhere for quite awhile. They didn't have the courtesy to even warm them back up. And they didn't give us a discount on our bill. Terrible customer service. read more

Located dead smack by the entrance of TimeOut Market Rooftop is Fornino. With a catch phrase "The Art & Science of Pizza", Fornino has been handcrafting delicious pizzas in Brooklyn since 2004 so it's no wonder they have a location in the trendy TimeOut Market. I ordered the Lombardi (prosciutto and arugula pizza) and my bf ordered the Funghi Misti (mushroom with truffle oil). I gotta say, they're work is definitely both an art & science! Nice chewy crust that really elevates the flavors of the simple crust with its burnt bits. The truffle oil on the Funghi Misti is so divine that I almost forgot there was no meat on it!! And i'd probably eat it again. The Lombardi comes generously topped with arugula (yum!). The prosciutto is just savory and flavorful enough to balance out all the flavors. The finishing touches of lemon zest makes you wonder why you'd never thought to do it before. Needless to say, this pizza is definitely a must-eat if you're a fan of simple Neapolitan pizzas! read more

Came on a Friday night in the summer immediately found a table. Pizza and drinks are ordered at two separate ends of the rooftop. The Al Roker was good but the White Sangria was NOT! The view is amazing at night but the music is NOT! All in all it's a good last minute spot when the weather is nice. FYI The Mac and cheese looks better than it tastes. read more

Solid place for drinks, personal pizza's, and a nice view. I came here with a group of friends and we ordered a pitcher of white sangria, mac and cheese, personal pizzas (the lombardi, margarita, pepperoni, and a personalized pizza) to share. The pizzas were fresh and the sangria tasted really good. I would pass on the mac and cheese as it was just mediocre. Overall it was a good experience. But be advised that they do not have a heating system or wind blocker for rooftop/outdoor dining. It can definitely get chilly and windy especially during the night time. read more

This is superb pizza that you get to eat on a rooftop in one of the most beautiful parks in the world, with views of the Manhattan skyline. That alone should be enough to get you here, but if you need recommendations, I'm here to indulge your every desire.* I must say that normally, I'm an advocate for simplicity on a pie. And Fornino certainly makes an excellent classic Margherita, and meat-eaters can't go wrong with the Calabrese (essentially a Margherita with sopressata instead of basil). However, they are also the rare joint where the crust doesn't lose anything on their loaded-up specialty pies, and their combinations are uniformly excellent. If you're so inclined, try the Al Roker, which incorporates fontina, caramelized onions, peppers, sopressata and more. White-pie enthusiasts will love the spinach pie topped with ricotta, pine nuts, and a bit of truffle oil as well. Fornino's drink prices are a bit steep, given the tiny plastic cups you are forced to drink from (that blow over quite easily in the wind)...but if you want to eat superb pizza on a rooftop in one of the most beautiful parks in the world, this is the price you pay. _____________ *Except you, Ruggy.

When you hear about pizza on a rooftop, you won't just think of Breaking Bad anymore. Instead, you will want to come to this beautiful spot at Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park to enjoy some of the tasty pies while taking in the view of the city from the nice roof deck. Walk up to the counter to place your order and get any drinks you want, and then scope out a prime table by the outskirts of the roof to maximize enjoyment of the view. They will come bring you your food a few minutes later. We started with the Caesar Salad ($9), which was very standard, but got the job done fine. We then got two of the very small pies - the special of the night, the Sausage and Peppers ($15), and the Al Roker ($14). They were very similar, pretty much just sausage on one and pepperoni on the other with the same remaining ingredients. They were ok, by just nothing particularly memorable. The crust was very soft, with no char nor chewiness that usually marks a good version of this style of pizza. It's definitely good, but I don't know if I would seek this pizza out if it didn't come along with the nice outdoor atmosphere here. The menu is pretty bare bones (pizzas and salads). They also have ice cream and sundaes available, but why would you bother when you can see the Ample Hills Creamery stand from here? It is a bit of a pain to get here. Be careful if you are taking the ferry to Dumbo thinking it's anywhere near here - it's a good 15-20 minute walk from the foot of the bridge, as this is way down at the other end of the pier. The walk is typically nice, but it was swelteringly hot out and unpleasant when we journeyed here. Come for the view, stay for the pizza. read more

We stopped in Forino during our visit to the Brooklyn Bridge Park. The main reason we stopped in was to get out of heat, it was a record breaking Friday in September! Fornino has 2 areas, a covered snack bar and an open air upstairs roof top dining area. In both areas there are great views of the park, Manhattan and the beach volley ball courts. We only had some drinks, but there was a good selection of choices. We sat down stairs and although covered, it was not air conditioned. There was a big fan giving some relief from the heat and it felt nice to be out of the sun. We had lunch a little earlier so we were not hungry, but the pizza looked really good, so good I almost ordered it. Service was friendly and the bathrooms were clean with a/c. read more

Obsessed. If you like eating and drinking outdoors, Manhattan views, and pizza, you need to check this place out right now. Like, leave work immediately or drop whatever you're doing and go. While the rooftop gets pretty crowded on a Friday night, our group of four arrived at 6:30 and we were able to find a few open spots (a couple open halves of the tables were free at the shared communal style tables). But as it got later, we saw people waiting for groups to leave before they could sit down. On a Sunday around 2pm, though, you'll definitely find plenty of tables and it's 100% worth doing a late lunch for unobstructed views, less noise, and a more chill vibe than it is at night. There isn't a happy hour and drinks aren't the cheapest, but you can get a beer for $6 or a pitcher for $27, which isn't terrible. BUT THE PIZZA. I'm honestly finding it difficult not to come here every day at this point because the pizza was so delicious. I tried the Spinach pizza (with mozzarella, ricotta, pecorino, spinach, pine nuts, white truffle oil, and parmesan) and honestly have never eaten my food so slow just to make sure I savored every. single. bite. The white truffle oil was an insanely brilliant finish for this pizza. We also tried the Petescia pizza (with mozzarella, brussels sprouts, fennel sausage, fontina, and spicy honey) and it was good, but as someone who tends to care less about pizzas with meat, I preferred the Spinach pizza. The spicy honey on the Petescia pizza was a tad too spicy at times for me too, and the pizza was generally pretty messy and sticky if you like to eat pizza with your hands... which I'm sure 95% of us do. I cannot wait to go back here. Shamelessly dreaming of this pizza and the next one I'm going to try. read more

I've been getting the Brooklyn South Ferry a lot lately and it seems like Pier 6 is my favorite stop. This is just steps from the landing and has a great view. $9 for a glass of sangria is not bad for a view like this. The bartenders could be a smidge more attentive, but overall friendly and nice. This place is very close to the water playground next door, so it kind of turns into a respite for Mommy & Daddy with coach, but it doesn't really affect the pleasure level and everyone peacefully coexists. It also seems like a popular spot to have small business, after work mixers. I've yet to try the food, but this is a great spot to kick off a long walk down Atlantic Avenue, or exploring other neighborhoods nearby. read more

I think this is just a duplicate of the more commonly used Yelp page of the same business. The other one has 264 reviews as of today.

Highly recommend going while the weather is warm (located on the pier and not the parking garage area). It's a rooftop (meaning second floor) with plenty of outdoor seating although I do recommend a reservation if you need a lower vs. high top table. Their calabrese and funghi pizzas were delicious along with the Mac n cheese and corn. They have additional picnic tables downstairs along with a playground for those with kids. It's also next to the ferry to governors island. read more

Fornino is a good successor to Bark Hot Dogs (http://www.yelp.com/biz/bark-hot-dogs-brooklyn-3), offering up a slightly more upscale, yet family-friendly snack bar experience downstairs, with a pizza oven and bar on their newly-opened upstairs/outdoor deck. The upstairs deck at Fornino is a great spot to wind down and watch the sun set while overlooking the beach volleyball games on the adjacent sand volleyball courts. Personal pizzas range from $9-$12 and the pies are around 9-10" diameter, which is fair, but the only thing keeping them from a better review are their upstairs drink prices...$6 for a 12oz beer in a plastic bathroom cup or $27 for a pitcher isn't gonna cut it at a public park snack bar. They really need to revaluate their decision to charge $6 for a beer that costs them pennies to pour...either give a full 16oz cup/pour, or drop the per-glass price down to $5, and pitchers to $20-$23 and I'll be a happy camper. Aside from the above, the staff are friendly, and the new tables under brick red canvas umbrellas make for a nice place to sit and hang. As a seasoned player on the Pier 6 courts, my only wish was that these guys were open earlier in the summer so we all had a bit more time to enjoy the space! I've heard that heat lamps will be added so they can stay open till November, but once beach volleyball season ends for us, we most likely won't be back 'till next summer...Good luck! read more

We were told that its full and that we can place an order and take it to go. We were told that all the tables needs reservations though we heard her say to one other customer like "how many are you". We were never asked that question we were told straight out that its full. Ok we said lets just buy and take it with us. We placed the order and were told you stand on one side. Waited for about 20 minutes. We asked if its ready. They said it will take awhile. I requested that they check first on the status and so they looked at my receipt and they said theyll check. She comes back and sais maybe another 15 minutes. Our order were just two pies of pizza. After 20 minutes, we asked again and she said about 10 min more. We agreed to wait. 10 minutes passed and we said we are cancelling bec they dont seem to have an idea what was going on in their kitchen. We also saw that the pizza were placed on top of each other, not too clean. Anyway, we ended up leaving and very disappointed and hungry. I will not recommend coming here. read more

Not only does their rooftop has an amazing view of the skyline but the food is amazing. We were so hungry when we got there and couldn't decide on which pizzas because they all looked incredible. In the end we got the Prosciutto & Arugula, the Calabrese and the Zucchini pizza with pesto sauce. None of them disappointed me one bit and they are at a great price! Would like to come back for dinner because this would be the cutest place to take maybe a date or even a night get together with a group of friends. Perfect for any occasion-- honestly! Definitely a must eat pizza spot in Brooklyn! read more

Fun, fun ,fun. It was an overcast kind of day. Family visiting wanted an outdoor eatery near water with a relaxed atmosphere. We hit the jackpot coming here. We were downstairs in the cafe but they told us the full bar was upstairs. The manager and the entire staff was friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Beer selection on tap and in cans was good for me, Defender IPA on tap, fresh and thirst quenching. Tasted fams margaritas, very good. The red wine delicious. Ordered the mushroom pizza with truffle oil and arugula, still thinking about it. The lemon cake with olive oil and strawberries is fabulous. It tastes like family made it. The music was so good we started dancing, a couple from Australia joined us. We are all planning on going out on Wednesday. We had a great time.
