Behrad EatsMarch 4, 2013The Californication pizza is so delicious with the combination of arugula, goat cheese and prociutto. The heat from the padron peppers just takes this pizza to another level!
- Behrad EatsMarch 4, 2013The arancini con pesto di prezzemolo is just an amazing appetizer: saffron riceballs cooked perfectly with a great crunch and complimentes with the wonderful pesto.
- Behrad EatsMarch 4, 2013It's no surprise the Finocchio Flower Power pizza won the world pizza championship, its probably one of the best pizzas I've tasted. The fennel sausage is abaolutely superb!
you really wanna have the Californication, is so good that it made me wanna eat 3 if I could. Cocktails are fantastic, try the Derringer, Eva Peron and the Mela Amara. Desserts are on my next visit.
Amber R.November 11, 2012Popped in for dinner and tried a couple apps, salad, pizza and dessert. Really enjoyed the rice balls and the potato pizza! Service was lacking but it just opened so will let that slide this time.
Anna BristowJanuary 26, 2013They can make any of their pizzas gluten-free: the Californication was fantastic. Also get the sparkling red wine and the tartufo (which can be made gluten-free as well).
Iaitina PastinaDecember 16, 2012DON'T LISTEN TO THE YELPERS . The food here so so yummy everyone goes for the pizza which is great, but try the pasta's which are even better! and of course the drinks. Moses is a real hottie!
ReALTOFebruary 1, 2013The restaurant fills up after 7 so come early or be prepared to wait a little. The bartenders are quite friendly and the drinks are thoughtful and delicious!!
Sophia LinApril 1, 2013Finocchio Flower Power pizza is indeed fantastic. The tartufo is delicious and the bartenders make some fantastic drinks - we had a lovely time.
Jason FryMarch 10, 2014Great food and super-nice folks. Loved the rice balls, garlic knots and of course the pizza. Worth the trip wherever you are.
Serious EatsFebruary 20, 2013For pizza, we recommend the Finocchio Flower Power ($16). Desserts like the Cannolo and Tartufo are definite winners.
Lisa Huey-ColeMarch 31, 2013Switching from pastry to pizza, Elizabeth Faulkner opened in summer of 2012. Her Finocchio Flower Power Pizza won first prize at the World Pizza Championships.
Stacey HerronFebruary 16, 2013Pro: They gave our toddler a chunk of raw pizza dough to play with while we waited (nice touch). Con: The pizzas took a loonnnng time to arrive. Tasty pies, for sure, but not the pizza of dreams.
Gradie OakesFebruary 28, 2013With everyone on the Flower Power pizza, the cavalo nero salad is great, and Six Point Crisp is $4 which is basically PBR priced.
Rusty WatkinsJanuary 4, 2013Sit near the pizza oven for some added warmth. Don't be afraid to chat up Chef Falkner if she's not crazy busy. She's very nice
CompassApril 21, 2014Elizabeth Falkner’s wood-burning pizza place serves classic pies, pasta dishes, and Italian desserts.
Had great fennel and sausage pizza plus killer old fashioned.
Being that this is Elizabeth Falkner's restaurant, be sure to get dessert. The tartufo is absolutely amazing.
Jason PaulDecember 14, 2013The Bianca pizza was so good. Ingredients perfectly paired in a delicious thin crust.
Donny TsangDecember 29, 2012Don't bother getting the Olive Fritte since they start you off with a plate of free olives. Winners, Finocchio Flower Power and the Bianca pizzas.
Corrine BrownDecember 29, 2012The Rosa Nera is amazing. Rosemary infused vodka, all you need to know.
jake furstJanuary 23, 2013Pete Wells raves about the Finocchio Flower Power pizza, "an essay on the theme of fennel."
Adam SimonFebruary 3, 2013Check that they've got sufficient supplies before you wait: after more than an hot waiting, they RAN OUT IF PIZZA DOUGH. What. Yes. Exactly.
Sarah FirsheinJanuary 30, 2013Pizza's solid, service is hilariously bad, but all that's forgiven by the gianduja tartufo to cap off the meal.
- Brad LFebruary 4, 2013After moving to NYC from San Francisco in 2012, chef Elizabeth Falkner opened this Brooklyn pizza shop.
Foodie FreekDecember 3, 2012This place is freekin' amazin'!! I got a strange look when I ate my dinner backwards: Tartufo, Californication, Riceballs
They need a lot of help on their carry out services. Can't call ahead and usually no bags. That said, food is tasty.
