"This is nice place in the neighborhood for pizza. The restaurant is cute with a staff of friendly Italian waiters. The pizza is really delicious and its a place I like for a low key night or somewhere to take friends for an easy dinner. Definitely a place to check out if your in the neighborhood and want pizza."

"Amazing authentic Napoletana Pizza from a Wood fired Brick Oven.
Home of the Fried Pizza..crust is deep fried, then all toppings applied and into the Brick Oven...it's almost like combining a Zeppole with a Margherita Pizza.Evrything is wonderful from ambiance - to staff - to Pizzas and desserts."

"We started off with salads, neapolis and arugula. They both were amazing.
Secondly, I ordered the montenara which was fairly good but not great. My lunch guest ordered the buffalo margharita and he was very
disappointed. According to him, his pizza lacked flavor.
Overall, the food was okay. Nothing spectacular or special as we had hoped.
Would I go back to try again? Probably not. We have travelled quite frequently to Italy on business and pleasure so
my standard/bar is set pretty high when it comes to pizza. Therefore, we were not really impressed."

"The montanara is always stunning, the bianca (we added burrata with truffle oil) was spectacular. The calzone frito was great as well, but perhaps my least favorite of the three (which isn't knocking it, trust me). The waitstaff is always friendly, and the place never seems "too" crowded, even if every table is full. One of my favorite pizzas in the city, for sure."

"Forcella Brooklyn, home to the fried (then baked) pizza has a great vibe with traditional Italian pizza baked in a forno oven. The ingredients are fresh and lunch is a great deal at $10 for a salad and Margherita pizza."

"Only 1 server, service was very slow, and should not be advertised as "brunch" no eggs in sight. Fried pizza was very good however, topping not so great. Onions were not cooked, charged for arugula and there was none, and the cheese was cold. The panini was tasty however the crust was burnt."
