Got a TGTG order here. 11/10 I'd do it again. 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. read more

Brooklyn DOP is a prime example of what happens when a pandemic lockdown, a dough obsession, and an inability 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. read more

Had to give a downgrade. This place is falling off. They are way too reliant on heating pizzas that have been left out way too long in a toaster. I can heat up leftover pizza in my own house. The whole system and lack of using a pizza oven in front also means it always takes a while. And there's a dude who's pretty grumpy about the whole thing - including to his colleagues, which is really a bummer to watch. They need to work on the process here and get the pizzas back to the original quality. read more

Overall 5/5: I am not a pizza person and don't eat dairy but wanted a nostalgic New York slice. This place definitely hit the spot. Expensive though, about $55 dollars for a vegan 18-inch Margherita pie with 3 toppings. Was it worth it for the experience? Yes. Would I recommend to someone who wanted to try it at least once for a good dairy-free pizza? Absolutely, I couldn't even tell this was vegan cheese. Would I get it again? Maybe (?) once in a while as a treat with price being the only barrier. Service 5/5: This was great. I came here the other day to inquire about their vegan pizza and just wanted to try a slice. The person found his manager to talk to me about this. They were super friendly and explained to me the situation. This location only sold vegan options in full pies and their other DOP Fast Life location does sell vegan slices, but they didn't try to push me to buy. I came back today and the staff today were also very welcoming. Ambiance 5/5: Rustic red brick interior with warm lighting. It was definitely bustling on a Friday night. Food 5/5: Delicious pizza. I do regret that I ate it cold after driving 30 minutes to pick it up so I did not get the full experience. But the crust was still crunchy. I do wish the toppings were a little heavier but the tomato chunks in the sauce tasted very fresh. A very classic New York style pizza and I couldn't even tell it wasn't real cheese. Vegan garlic knots were great too. read more

Brooklyn DOP is a spot I find myself returning to again and again, usually for dining in or a grabbing takeout pie. Seating inside is limited, but when the weather cooperates, their patio is a really lovely place to dine. They have a couple of specialty pies that I really enjoy, especially the winter pie with roasted butternut squash, lightly smoked aged mozzarella, fresh mozzarella, 'nduja, stracciatella, hot honey, and parsley. Personally, I'm always drawn to 'nduja on a pizza and this one has such a great balance of flavors. The classics hold their own too. I recently grabbed a slice of pepperoni and the crust was perfectly crispy. read more

I was reluctant to try this spot out at first because I always chafe at having to pay fancy prices for pizza, but I'm glad I did, because the pizza here is genuinely fantastic. The interior has limited bar seating, but it was pretty empty when we came for dinner on a weeknight. The bar seats themselves are also plush and feel quite upscale. I like the diner-y pizzeria feel of the inside, with tons of what look like family pictures framed around the place. We tried two slices of the Nonna Mena, which is probably the most expensive slice there for the size (nearly $5 for a small rectangle) because it comes with nice, aged cheese. It was tasty, but not so much better than the regular slices (which are cheaper and larger) that I'd opt for that again. In addition, we got two regular slices of pizza and the pepperoni pinwheel, which comes jam-packed with pepperoni and cheese. Overall, I think the best bang for your buck are the regular (rather than specialty) slices. What makes this place special to me is the pizza dough -- they're somehow able to get it perfectly crispy and even a tiny bit fried on the bottom, so the texture is excellent and addictive. read more

This pizzeria was on my to do list for pizza and I finally made my way out here on a Sunday afternoon. The pizzeria's interior had a nice and cozy vibe to it. I ordered a Mushroom Shallot slice. The slice was fantastic and the mushroom and shallot complement each other perfectly with the ricotta. Tom and Jason really did well for themselves with this and their staff was friendly and knowledgeable. This is a destination pizzeria and a must visit when in Brooklyn. read more

Earlier post: They say they sell vegan pizza by the slice, but was told just now that they don't on the weekends...sometimes during the week. They said other people have asked for a vegan slice today already. Seems like a missed opportunity. Edit: So, I was passing by and thought I'd pop in and see if they happened to have a vegan slice despite my earlier experience. They were in the process of making a vegan pie because apparently they made one earlier and it sold out. I waited a few minutes. Got some slices and am happy to report they were delicious. read more

Go and get a slice or two or three or more. Or a whole pie or two or four. DOP is DOPE. Their slices, especially vegan are so so good. Everyone who works here is so nice. They are willing to make a vegan pie for slices. Let me tell you, worth the wait! They have fantastic hot pepper selections. They have nice places to sit inside and a great outdoor area! Their garlic knots are also awesome and vegan! But for those nonvegans, reading this, their regular person pizzas are amazing as well as I have been told by others. But their vegan, delicioso as well! Thank you DOP for being so DOPE! read more

Well. It's a mixed bag. I placed an order for delivery and I got a large cheese pizza, meatball sandwich, a soda, and slice of olive oil cake. The order arrived, take it in the house- it's someone else's pizza. (Their name is on it - plus it's half pepperoni and half mushrooms.) Plus, no cake. I let the app know and re-order the pizza and the cake. What do I get? A cheese pizza and a meatball sandwich. ‍ I didn't even bother to complain this time. I tried the sandwich the first time I got it - meatballs I didn't like, but the bread was good. So the second sandwich (and the other pizza) I put outside for a homeless person. The cheese pizza was excellent. Probably would not order again. They can't seem to get an order right. Would go in person and see if that helps. read more

It's a good slice of pie at a relatively reasonable price. Unfortunately, I got the special slice. The crust is really nice, super thin, crispy but not too crispy. The sauce was very good. The cheese was very good. The meat quality was very good. I did not like the ricotta florets on it. It had squeezed ricotta on it, and I just thought it distracted from the pie. This was just their special pie, so I'd just say don't get something with ricotta on it unless you really enjoy ricotta. I felt like that really dominated the pie. If anything, I would have put hot honey or basil or something on there instead. read more

Hands down the best from A-Z. We did a mini pizza tour of Brooklyn and this place came out on top in my book. Massive, fresh selection of different pies. You know they're all fresh because they just kept pumping them out. Service is bar none. The woman there as extremely helpful and asked if I wanted any recommendations, which I ALWAYS go with with the house recommends. She recommended the seasonal slice, which was squash, stracciatella, anduille sausage and Mike's hot honey. OMG. That's all I can say. It worked perfectly. It was so good, I has to go back in and I was able to grab the last slice to bring home to my wife. If in the area, don't snooze on this place. Top notch. read more

While in New Yoke for 4 days, two of us are chillin' and we decided to do a little New Yoke pizza tour. My plan on these pizza tour reviews of NYC is to visit the spot, write out my review and put in a draft star rating. I can't decide a final rating until I try them all and compare them. Moving along to day 2 and the #4 stop on my New Yoke pizza tour. You know that DOP stands for Protected Designation of Origin. Basically, it's supposed to mean it's authentic. So this place is a bit nicer inside spot 1-3 on this tour. We were able to order slices and well, the crusts continue to improve. I liked this one even more than #3 when it comes to crust, but #3 was better and more flavorful sauce. So it's all a balance. Some places have good crust. Others have good sauce. What am I supposed to do? It's interesting, but now the super crispy crust at #2 isn't feeling so hot. That's why I didn't post my reviews in order of eating them. I'm doing a write up but holding off on submitting them. Well, still a solid stop and moving along to more stops the next day. read more

Been ordering these pies since Tommy was slinging them out of his apartment kitchen. One of the best slices in Brooklyn, let alone NYC and I'm glad these guys are getting their flowers. What started off as basic pies done extremely well has expanded to seasonal specials and fresh baked bread. Fear not, unlike our dear Icarus, they haven't strayed too close to the sun. My go-to is a plain Giusepp (Brooklyn style), but this time I spiced up my order with garlic knot meatball sliders because why the hell not?? Not sure what more there is to say. read more

This is a nice authentic classic pizza restaurant. I really didn't eat too much there my friend did the food looks amazing. She said it was fresh it look fresh, but I did have a Prosecco and I had arugula salad with Parmesan, which was very fresh. The Parmesan had a kick to it so it was so good here together. I enjoyed the atmosphere. I enjoyed the service and I enjoyed my salad very much and my friend. she loved it so I know we're both be bad unfortunately I can't have any pizza because I'm lactose intolerant. I wish I can because the food looks so good and they have very interesting flavors like the St. Lucia is different so if I could try pizza that's what I would try but try it you like it's a beautiful atmosphere. read more

Really really yummy slices! We tried their pepperoni slice and the slice with pesto sauce on it, and both were delicious. The roni cups crisped perfectly and the pesto drizzle was among the best pesto I've had in NYC in general. Quite reasonable prices, as the two slices and a beer came out to about $16. Will definitely return, and recommend to others in the area! read more

At Brooklyn DOP, the code's been broken. You walk in expecting a slice of home, and they hit you with the ultimate gentrified sentence: "Sorry, we don't add toppings to individual slices." See, in this borough, pizza isn't just food -- it's a birthright. It's the smell of the oven when you walk in from the cold. It's the choice to throw extra cheese, a few pepperonis, maybe some sausage, or whatever your mood demands. It's the conversation you have with the guy behind the counter when he already knows your order. But now? We got gentrified pizza creeping in -- shiny spots where they'll tell you, "Sorry, no toppings allowed." That's not innovation -- that's Brooklyn blasphemy. You mean to tell me I can't add pepperoni to my slice? No extra cheese? No sausage? That's not artisanal -- that's pizza blasphemy. Brooklyn pizza has always been about freedom -- the freedom to customize, to create, to argue over which joint does it best. It's about a paper plate bending under the weight of your toppings, grease running down your wrist, and a slice that tastes like home. At DOP, the crust might be crisp, the sauce might sing, but the soul? It's missing. Because when a Brooklyn pizzeria tells you what you can't do with your slice, that's not evolution -- that's erasure. Brooklyn DOP might make a good pie, but they've committed the ultimate neighborhood sin: They've turned pizza -- our pizza -- into a rulebook. And in Brooklyn, there's only one rule: Add what you want. Because pizza without freedom... ain't pizza at all. read more

Great dough. It's perfectly crispy and chewy and really truly a 5/5. I'm giving them a 4 because the flavors were a little bland. It was yummy but not super interesting. Maybe I just need to order a red sauce or spicy one and I'll like it better. Still, a great spot that I would come back to and recommend to others if they're in the park slope area and looking for a slice. read more

Hands down, the best pizza place I have tried! Went with a bunch of my family and their friends. It is a cozy environment with some seatings. The kitchen is right in the back of the place. You can see them make the pizza. The service is great and friendly. Fresh pizza out of the oven. They have a good selections of pizzas. They also have seasonal pizzas. I tried the squash and it was really good. I'm also a crust eater and this crust is amazing. I don't know how they make the crust but it's just so crunchy, tasty, and LIGHT. I normally only eat 1 slice of pizza and I'm full but I had like 3 slices on top of other items. The calzones was also another good try. We also tried the garlic knot and it was great. It's different than other places. It's flavorful and delicious. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Quite a pleasant surprise. Not what I was expecting out of a high class slice shop in Park Slope. The pizza is actually really tasty with the perfect crust, the cheese layer to tomato sauce layer is spot on too. Everything is made in balance and as a result you get a balanced piece of food that will not wreck your stomach as a result. There are no simple slices here. Not the ones you would normally see, anyway. If you have a refined palate, this will be right up your alley, as the beautiful combination of broccoli, cheese, and sauce all work in harmony to bring you a fantastic experience. They even offer a spicy slice that provides just enough of a kick, but not too overboard. Again, it is all about balance when it comes to the slices. Where I knock points, and perhaps it is nitpicking, is the pizza rolls. I got two just to see how they match up against the pizza, and the pizza is simply the better food item to get here. The broccoli roll is nice and refreshing with an earthy taste, but the pepperoni roll is just too salty and it threatens to compromise everything this restaurant stands for, balance. I guess this should be a gymnast slice, because one wrong move can send any of these slices into chaos, but one word prevents that all from happening. Balance. read more

My go to slice shop in the neighborhood. Recently tried their seasonal pie which has figs, shallots, fresh ricotta, and a hot honey drizzle and it was fantastic.

This place is in my bookmarks but i found it via google search looking for pizza. I only eat 4.4 stars or more pizza. Because I don't waste space in in my belly with bad food. All the pizza looked so good, i went for the regular slice which definitely reminded me of NYC pizza of my childhood before dollar pizza wrecked the industry (i said what i said lol) and i got the specialty pizza which had hot honey fig shallots ... and had optional sausage! While i did recall the pizza days of old NYC, i don't eat pizza like a NYer or any réguler sane person. Cut my pizza into 4s; its easier to handle with less mess . Anyway i inhaled this pizza, I was about 5 minutes removed from the pizza shop after inhaling it whilst driving home and was really contemplating going back for 2 more slices, that's how good it was ! Though The price was hefty for two slices especially given how thin my slices were, im coming back for more . read more

Pizza is pretty good. But the service sucks. They simply need more people working the counter. I ordered a pizza for pickup at 5:45pm on their fancy iOS app. Showed up around then, but the pickup window was mobbed by delivery guys. The regular line was out the door while 2 confused counter staff worked at a snails pace. Didn't get my pizza until one of the counter employees finally gave me attention -- after around 6:05pm when it was room temperature because it had been sitting in the back for ages. Poor communication with the kitchen. This spot just doesn't have their sh!t together. The pizza is good, but not worth the hassle. read more

This was some of the better quality pizza in Brooklyn I've had outside of Williamsburg . Wish it had more variety slices like vodka , veggie etc but either way they excel at their offerings .

Brooklyn DOP is a New York-style pizzeria that opened in Brooklyn, New York in June 2022. It was founded by business partners Thomas Gian Ardito and Jason Rocco D'Amelio. Ardito was an avid home cook and had been crafting pizza pies in his home kitchen since 2016. Later on he enrolled in the Goodfellas Pizzaiolo Mentorship in Staten Island. By 2022, Ardito began making pizzas in his apartment and selling them every Friday via Instagram in order to help pay his rent. D'Amelio came on board with the apartment pizzeria operation and soon they began looking for a location to start their own brick & mortar pizzeria. The duo chose the name 'Brooklyn DOP'. In Italian, DOP stands for 'Denominazione di Origine Protetta' (meaning "Protected Designation of Origin"). It's a promise to the consumer, a quality indicator that makes a product unique, inimitable, and worthy of protection. In just two years, the modest pizzeria in Park Slope has earned a reputation for being one of the best new pizzerias in Brooklyn. I recently visited Brooklyn DOP while I was cycling around NYC. I was trying out a number of Brooklyn breweries and pizzerias and this was my first stop of the day. Although the pizzeria is relatively new, I had heard nothing but great things. The interior had an old school NYC slice shop design theme. There's a limited amount of counter seating inside, more seating out front in the street, and even more seating behind the building on their patio. Although a customer can order a whole pie, most of the business at DOP seems to be slices. I ended up getting slices of their "Spicy Margherita" (premium aged mozz, fresh mozz, signature fresh tomato sauce, Sicilian oregano, torn basil, 24 mo aged parm regg, EVOO, flatiron pepper flakes, mushroom, shallots) and "Nonna Mena with Roni Cups" (fresh mozz, topped with garlic/basil confit hand-crushed tomato sauce, Sicilian oregano, torn basil, 24 mo aged parm regg, EVOO, pepperoni cups). Both slices were delicious! I would describe DOP as an old school NYC slice shop with a modern artisanal twist. I give them my seal of approval! read more

Stumbled upon Brooklyn DOP prior to attending a standup comedy show around the corner. That spot wasn't serving food that night so my hangry a** walked less than 500 feet and found this shop. I ordered a slice of cheese and pepperoni. It was love at first bite; the simple sauce to cheese ratio with the herbs underneath was heaven. I took my sweet time enjoying each bite as the hubby scarfed his and told me to hurry up. Rude. Granted, he really enjoyed his mushroom and shallot slice. The small shop was super cute, had very comfortable chairs, and had a clean restroom. What more can you ask for? They do close at 10pm but I guess the area isn't so busy at night. read more
