One of the few spots in the area with good pizza, unfortunately. They have good ingredients and fresh toppings. Not "new york style" but really good!

So...one of Brooklyn's only Michelin rated restaurants has a 20+ course tasting menu, a 6 month waiting list, and a $250 price tag. From what I understand, it's amazing.
