Brooklyn DOP

Got a TGTG order here. 11/10 I'd do it again…read more Brooklyn DOP actually originated as a pandemic business where my friend's personal trainer started baking pizzas outside of his Greenwood Heights apartment. When the hype got large enough, the owner decided to start a pizzeria and the rest is not history. This is one of the more worthwhile TGTG orders to me. Their pizza is SOOO perfectly crisp and charred, and actually is one of the closest pizzas that reminds me of the famous originals in Napoli.

Brooklyn DOP is a prime example of what happens when a pandemic lockdown, a dough obsession, and an…read moreinability to sit still all collide. We visited as a stop on Scott's Pizza Bus Tour, which meant we were actively evaluating it against some of the best pizza in the city. Evaluating pizza on a tour is tricky because excellence becomes relative when you are eating multiple high-end pies in a single afternoon. According to Scott, Brooklyn DOP began in founder Thomas Ardito's apartment during the 2020 lockdowns. With his primary work on pause, he started baking pizza and selling pies through Instagram to pay his rent. People kept ordering. His friend Jason D'Amelio joined the effort, and what started as an apartment project turned into pop-ups and eventually a brick-and-mortar shop on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. That is a considerably more compelling origin story than a corporate franchise business plan. The setup in Park Slope includes a quiet back courtyard, which offered a comfortable spot for our group to sit, eat, and recover between stops. It feels relaxed and distinctly Brooklyn without trying too hard to remind you where you are. The pizza itself is very good. The crust strikes a proper balance between a crisp bottom and a chewy interior. The toppings are handled with care, from the crushed tomatoes to the fresh mozzarella. This is dough crafted by people who take fermentation seriously rather than relying on pre-packaged shortcuts. On its own merits, the pizza is a solid 4.5 stars. Unfortunately for Brooklyn DOP, it was competing on a tour against places operating on another plane. It is an excellent pie, but it was not the single slice that caused the entire tour to fall silent in collective awe. Still, that is an aggressive standard to hold against any local shop. Brooklyn DOP offers a great courtyard, a serious approach to dough, and a standout product. Landing just shy of five stars says far more about the sheer volume of elite pizza we ate that day than it does about the shop itself. Four stars. And if you are not spending the afternoon riding around New York with Scott Wiener eating pizza at some of the finest pizza joints the 5 boroughs have to offer, you can probably bump that half-star back up.

We come to sit, talk, share stories, our personal experiences and of course sip a fabulous beverage. I'm seeing this more and more as I visit fabulous coffee places.. Konditori, Villager, Bakeri, Hidden Grounds, and now Velvette Brew. First, the space: light, airy and I can imagine with their big windows, a sun soaked place on a sunny day. There are plenty of seats: tables and high top tables. Their menu offers a bit of everything from soup, sandwiches, quiche and pastries. There is a nice option of beverages hot/cold. Today, was a bit damp so I ordered a hot chai with bite size checkerboard cookies to dip. The barista was very pleasant and I found a seat while waiting for my chai. I see a lot of patrons working in laptops, some meeting up to talk and sip and even the barista chatted with a local patron. Love it! My chai was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The chai was frothy, rich, the black tea leaves infused with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, sweetener, and milk. I savored every sip and complimented the barista. It is always great to find a new coffee place. I expect to be a loyal local at Velvette Brew. They also host music events and have a collaboration with Cry Baby Ice Cream.

**Yelp Review: South Slope Eatery** If you're searching for a breakfast spot that hits all the right notes, South Slope Eatery is where you need to be. Their Vanilla Walnut French Toast is an absolute must-try. From the first bite, you're greeted with a perfectly balanced blend of vanilla sweetness and the rich, earthy flavor of walnuts. The toast is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, exactly how it should be. It's like a warm, comforting hug in breakfast form. The ambiance of the eatery is laid-back yet refined, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed morning meal. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and order the Vanilla Walnut French Toast. It's a dish that'll keep you coming back for more. Live, love and laugh - Sha read more

But it looked busy, charming, and exactly like the kind of old-school diner you hope to stumble into, so I lowered my expectations and gave it a shot. I ordered an omelet with home fries and was genuinely delighted. The service was fast and attentive, and everything came out fresh and hot. I think food reviews can sometimes miss the importance of context. You can't always compare apples to apples. For a charming, 50-plus-year-old neighborhood diner, this was a five-out-of-five experience for me. You've got the glass ketchup bottles, salt and pepper right there on the table, and the kind of straightforward setup that feels increasingly rare. If something needs a little more seasoning, you season it to your liking. The coffee was pretty good too and if we're being honest, diner coffee with a splash of cream is kind of part of the experience. I haven't tried the lunch menu yet, but for breakfast, this is absolutely somewhere I'd happily return.
