I absolutely loved this place. The ambience, the music, the food, the service--everything was phenomenal!! My friends and I will definitely be going back. 5/5 hands down read more

Seconding what some others have said already. There's something really off about the customer experience here. Like really off. I've tried it twice now and it's been the same both times. The vibe is just miserable. For lack of a better way of saying it, it just feels very poorly run - like there's no management, just a random smattering of possibly well intentioned but poorly trained wait staff with no support. Food comes veeeeery slowly. Mistakes are made left and right; They fed me and left my kids waiting another 30 minutes for their meals. A burger came out late but also cold(?) I ordered whit wine and got red. Yet the prices are high. ($28 for that burger) Something's gotta give here. Especially if you're gonna charge at the high end you need a commensurate level of service. But even for middle of the road, the owners should be embarrassed at how bad the service is here. As is, it feels like a place that's destined to fizzle out fairly quickly, coming from someone who's seen lots of places come and go in Park Slope. The food is pretty tasty, for what it's worth. read more

Emmy Squared Pizza - Burger ordered medium rare this is the cow killed twice. So disappointing. Never again - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Disappointing experience all around. We ordered a pizza and the burger. The pizza was a bit too wet for my taste but otherwise fine. The burger was not bad but it came out so late that we had already completely finished the pizza and waited a while before the burger came around. Luckily we had decided to share; otherwise it would have been awkward for one person to finish their meal before the other person even got their food. Service was friendly but inattentive. We had to ask for water refills every time. Two guys next to us made an order at the bar and left before their order came out because everything took so long. In the winter, the entire restaurant is freezing because the door system constantly lets in a draft. We do not plan to return. read more

I am not sure how this place stays open. The pizza is good, but the pies are tiny. The real issue here is the service....or lack thereof. We have been here 3 times. Every time there is something we order that they are out of. The service is terrible- the other day we were there and after they took our order we never saw a server again. We had to go up to the bar to get our own plates, napkins and silverware. Good luck getting a refill of a drink. And we had to go to the bar again to ask for our bill! This place would be run better if children were in charge. Emmy - three strikes you're out! Never again. read more

Being a native NYer, I was a little skeptical about Detroit style pizza. But had a great meal at this Park Slope outpost. Started with a nice-sized Caesar wedge salad, and split 2 pies between 3 of us, which was plenty and still had leftovers. Still won't replace NY style pizza for me, but it's a tasty variant. read more

I wanted to give Emmy Squared five stars, but I did not have a positive experience on the service end. I saw online that while the restaurant space isn't open until dinner at 5 pm, the hours did say they're open for pickup and delivery from 11 am. So I downloaded the Emmy Squared app and placed a pickup order that they confirmed via app. I arrived at Emmy Squared 2 minutes after I got the app notification that my pizza was ready. When I arrived, the door was locked. A nice staffer who was setting up tables stopped what he was doing and let me him, although he seemed confused. The restaurant was dark, and the kitchen was quiet. I showed him my app order and he asked me to wait in the entry area while he sorted it out. It was pretty obvious that they were closed and the app had taken my order in error. While I was waiting (in total, about 20-25 minutes), another man came in and stared at me. "I'm a customer," I said. It turned out he also worked there, and he went to investigate. After some time, he came back and invited me to sit at the bar, which was in the dark, closed dining room. He told me they have had staffing issues and decided to close for lunch service, and that the app shouldn't have taken my order. I remained friendly and said I understood. These are tough times for restaurants, I get it. He offered me alcohol, but seeing as it was around noon on a workday, I politely declined and said I'd come back to try the bar another evening. He replied, "Well, there's only so many things I can offer you," which I found a very odd thing to say to a customer whom you've inconvenienced. Eventually, the pizza came out, and when I got home, it was perfectly tasty. But they didn't offer any kind of discount or offer to comp the order or offer anything for my next visit. I've been to the original Emily Pizza and Emmy Squared many times, and this disorganized service in the Park Slope location really felt indicative of the company's growing pains as they're now franchising across the U.S. I can't say that I'll be back, which is disappointing, considering how psyched I was that they opened up in this neighborhood. I should have listened to my neighbor, who came here to dine-in recently and said the service was poor. I really hope Emmy Squared can work these kinks out. read more

We used to adore Emmy Sq, back when the 'hype' meant a 2+ hour wait in Williamsburg, so we were excited about this location opening. But boy, what a disappointment. Pizza undercooked, constantly out of items, terrible service (both slow and servers who don't know the menu), and food takes forever to come. They have a Grade C health inspection rating - steer clear! Won't be going back. read more

Awesome addition to the neighborhood! Nathan was an incredible host for my friends and I

Two fat stars are for the excellent Brussels sprouts salad (which seems to be my brand on Yelp?). One star for the casually fancy and accommodating interior that makes dining out with young kids easy, relaxed, and stylish. An absence of stars for the pizza itself, which was extremely small, meh, and quite overpriced. We left extremely hungry. Next time we're dining out with parent friends we'll just order a bunch of salads.... read more

I was excited to go here because of the one in the city. The pizza is great if you want to try or like Detroit style, v cheesey. Ordered the roasted cauliflower app and it wasn't served at a hot temp but rather seemed just warmed up which I thought was strange since it was served in a Cast Iron pot - would skip that as an app next time. Ordered the Brussels sprout salad which was good enough. I still prefer their other restaurant in the East Village better (since I never received luke warm food there) although there is more seating/space in the one in Park Slope. Overall, service was good and they were attentive. read more

Pretty bad experience. We ordered a gluten-free pizza for delivery and it arrived completely raw. The crust was not cooked at all: it was flimsy, gummy, and sticking to my teeth like unbaked cookie dough. We called to complain and they said they'd send us another pizza. This time we got the wrong pizza, with a regular gluten crust. The restaurant blamed the delivery guys and laughed on the phone. If I hadn't looked carefully, I could've been sick all night. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. read more

Another Emmy Squared...this one in Park Slope. Popped in on a Saturday afternoon. Moderately busy with a happy crowd. Detroit pizza done right...in Brooklyn! This location was clean, friendly, and the food was up to Emmy's high standards. We sat at the bar and were expertly served by Pete. Thanks Pete! My only complaint was that the bathroom floor was hazardously slippery. (Very clean...just a soapy floor). Let them know but nothing was done while we were there. Somebody is going to get hurt. FIX IT. In any event...we will be back...the next time we crave Detroit style pizza or a spectacular burger. read more

Only one chance for a first impression! Went with my son around 6pm on a cold February evening. We were excited to give a new place in the neighborhood a try and show our support. We walk in and more than half the tables were available. This looked like a good sign but the the hostess told us it was a 45 minute wait, took my name and phone number and advised a text was imminent when a table became available. So we left and walked Around our hood in the cold winter night. Wasted time for 30 minutes in the immediate vicinity and then gave up to eat elsewhere l. The kicker was we never ever received a text. I suppose all the available tables was misleading if they didn't have the wait staff to accommodate. May be awhile or forever that we give this spot a second chance. read more

My family had a late lunch at Emmy Squared today and we loved it! The pizza crust is to die for (both on the pizza and in the cheesy garlic breadsticks, which are outrageous - like the Platonic ideal of Domino's stuffed cheesy bread). We also enjoyed the Italian chopped salad and the specialty cocktails. The service was excellent and they were very accommodating with my kids' picky/ridiculous requests. We will be back! read more

They ruined my burger by putting chili on it when that's not listed on the menu description at all

Our first time to the Park Slope location. Service was attentive when we first got there but as soon as I asked for a new water glass because it looked dirty, the service fell off. Food was good but it reminded me why I prefer thin crust, but it was the best pineapple-topped pizza ever. Drinks were okay. Atmosphere was nice. I'll pass on the desert next time, one choice and it takes 15-minutes to come out. It's a-once-every-so-often-place for us. read more

In Depth Review: I've taken my wife to this location on three separate occasions. We were very fond of the Williamsburg location but this one is closer. Allow me to tell you my experience. Side note: The food is good and the workers are nice. For our first visit, our food took over an hour to come and for pizza that feels absurd. However that was not what ruined my night. We were sat near where the kitchen is and while my wife and I were trying to make light of the situation and enjoy each other's company, we were disturbed for what felt like every 1-2 minutes by an abrupt and loud yell coming from the kitchen, "HANDS!" I had asked the waitress at the time if they could tell the person who was yelling to tone it down, but the waitress stated that that's how their manager is and there is nothing they can do about it unfortunately. I was very disturbed to find out that that was a manager, and a bit perplexed that the waitress seemed a bit hesitant to even talk to her. I asked for the manager's name and it was Toniann. Instead of being tortured I asked for our food to go and when it finally came we paid and left. We came again weeks later hoping things would change. Luck was not on our side, because we were sat at the same table. I had asked the hostess if we could switch tables but she informed me all the tables were reserved and she would not be able to do so. I understood and we took what we got. We were met with the same "HANDS!" fate, except it was a lot more aggressive. One memorable part of this night was when nobody answered Toniann's first call, and her alternative was to yell twice as loud and with a lot of attitude. Disgusting behavior for a manager. The bathroom (Side note: who thought to put no drain on the bathroom floor for the water sent down by the hand dryer? The floor was super slippery.) is near the kitchen also and there was a short line I had to wait at to use it. While waiting, I heard a lot of cussing from Toniann and saw her eating while handing out food. Gross! Third time's the charm, right? This time we were sat FAR AWAY from the kitchen, thank God. Food came quick and service was hospitable as usual. And that should be it, so why the 1 star review? I'm not sure if this workplace realizes, but while in the bathroom you can hear the kitchen quite well. And wow, did I hear a lot from Ms. Toniann this night. From gossiping about her workers, talking down on them, still obnoxiously yelling "HANDS!" and cussing; I thought to myself, "This is Park Slope's manager?" While waiting in line I overheard two workers talking with one of them stating she needed to talk to Toniann for help, but she was scared to do so because she knows she's going to give her attitude and not give her a proper response. Even looking at her body language I could tell the fear was real. So that is what the 1-Star review is for. A wake up call, and a helping hand for the employees. I've worked at multiple restaurants, so yes I get the stress and whatnot... but this is pizza. Not gourmet, not cuisine... pizza. Ms. Toniann your behavior and work ethic is ABYSMAL. You eating while handing out food without AT LEAST washing your hands is DISGUSTING. You gossiping about your workers with other workers is UNCANNY. I will only be dining at the Williamsburg location from now on. Park Slope workers, consider unionizing. You should NOT be talked about the way Ms. Toniann talks about you. And you should NOT fear your manager. read more

This is not good pizza, especially the sauce. Surprisingly to see positive reviews and people raving about the pizza.

I am not a person who relishes leaving bad reviews, especially for places that are just getting their bearings. They've only been open for a month--but it's a chain. So I expected more. Here are my gripes in order: 1. The burger was pretty lousy. Cold bun. Like they took it out of a bag as an afterthought. Not toasted. Not buttered. Just a cold, dry bun. The burger patties were cooked through to hockey-puck. The lettuce was completely wilted, a pile of gross green mush. Oh. And it cost $26. 2. It took over an hour to get the burger. We sat down at 4:30 and the food came out at 5:45. The place had been open all day, or I'd blame the early seating. It was about 1/2 full. 3. Which brings me to my last frustration. When we arrived at 4:30, the place was empty. We were told there was bar seating. I looked around and said, "You're expecting a rush?" I was told that at 5, it was expected to fill up. I said, "You think they'll all come?" To which she nodded enthusiastically. When we left at 6:30 many of those empty tables were still empty. 4. The bartender, who was great comped us a drink for the delay in getting our food. I'd add a star here, except seconds later she comped the people next to us too who had finished both an app course and a pizza while we'd been waiting, as she said, "I try to comp a round for everyone seated at the bar." So that made my comp drink less special. I used to live in Fort Greene and had been meaning to try this burger for years. How disappointing to spend over $100 on garbage. Don't waste your time. read more

We had the absolute pleasure of finding Emmy's in Park Slope one Sunday night (about 45 minutes before they were scheduled to close) recently. We entered to an empty dining room (and we were a little worried about all of the empty seats), however, the bartender invited us in and told us that they had just had a "massive rush" and we had just missed it. We were happy to see several parties on the patio area . We (my wife, teenage daughter and myself) ordered the "shareable" Caesar salad and a large Margherita pizza. The three of us do not enjoy anchovies (we forgot to ask for salad without) but the salad was full of flavor and perfectly dressed. I buried the lead here! The Detroit style Margherita pizza with the Burrata and fresh basil may be the pest pizza we have ever had. Always a little worried about deep dish/Detroit style being too heavy, but Emmy's has figured out the perfect recipe, the pizza was surprisingly light and airy, the sauce was packed with flavor and the crispy edges of the crust was amazing. It really was the perfect pizza. We will be back! read more

This location on 5th Ave is totally cursed -- had there ever been a restaurant that's succeeded here? The salads and pizzas are good. The kitchen timing is totally variable. Good selection of beer. read more

Messed up our order in person, 2nd shot for delivery and they delivered freezing cold food. Don't waste your time. read more

Great pizza but when I arrived tonight to pick up my takeout order they were more than an hour late on pizza orders, with a huge line of angry customers who'd been waiting for really long times. So I had to get a refund and go get pizza somewhere else while my dinner guests waited at my home. Emmy Squared won't take orders by phone and their website doesn't have any way to warn you about situations like this. I have to say that they weren't even all that apologetic about it. I suggest not ordering takeout from here! read more

This restaurant as allocated all of its resources to app orders, and the in person service is terrible. Two times in a row they took forever to bring our food. The first time they brought adult food out first and kids food a half hour later. They forget to bring things that we ask for. Tables are messy. Spilled water all over us. Other customers having the same issues. Emmy Squared is having terrible management issues now and I don't recommend them at this time. read more

Very very busy restaurant .. in spite of the busy tempo they still had excellent service and delicious Detroit style square pizza! Great see so many nice families with small kids out enjoying Emmy Squared's ambiance! read more

2 stars only because when (and if) the food arrived it was good. This was the worst service experience I've ever had ... anywhere? Let's just go chronologically to make sure I don't forget anything about our abysmal experience at Emmy Squared: 1. Approximately 30 seconds after we're seated our waiter comes over and sets the vibe -- "I'll be your waiter do you know what you want" ... nah bro we just sat down. "I'll be back in 5 minutes" OK that was odd but totally forgivable. 2. Apps arrive. They're good. We eat them. 45 minutes later, with dirty plates still on the table, our orders start to arrive piecemeal. We have to ask that the dirty plates be removed. 20 more minutes pass and my pizza still has not arrived. We have to ask the waiter where it is -- "Vodka, right?" He says, kind of naming my order, with zero apology or acknowledgment that it's very delayed. OK, they seem very busy. This waiter is clearly very new. My friend orders a glass of wine and they politely wait to dig into their burgers. 3. Adding to the bad vibes -- as another reviewer mentioned -- there was a crowd of angry take out customers and delivery drivers waiting in the restaurant for food. They were quite literally on top of our table and we listened as they were met with no apologies and left to linger in the restaurant. ‍ I mean I'm literally dining at the restaurant and can't get my meal so it might be a lost cause folks. 4. The waiter returns with my friend's wine -- still no pizza. "What were you waiting for again?" He asks as he pours my friend's red wine so hastily that it spills on her white pants. Yikes. We're reaching incompetence here. 5. The waiter returns. Still no pizza. "Vodka right?" At this point I've given up, it's been 45 minutes since my friends were served and I just want to escape this tense hellhole. I matter-of-fairly suggest this pizza should not be on our bill. He balks and runs away. A total lack of basic people skills -- let alone service ability -- on display here. I shouldn't have to be the one to suggest this. 6. He comes back 10 minutes later to deliver the stunning news that the food I never received will be taken off the bill as if he's handing me first prize in the customer pageant. I respond "Yeah that makes sense because I'm not paying for pizza I never got?" -- his response? "DAMN" and he again runs away. Now *I'm* on the receiving end of your attitude because I wanted the food I ordered? 7. We finally turn to another server to get my friend the ketchup she requested 30 minutes ago. He is personable and apologetic, but then notes that "his girlfriend also gets hangry" so he "gets it" I'm more than hangry bro -- I'm pissed that I wasted my time with this amateur hour when I could've gone to any other restaurant in New York and been treated like a reasonable human being who just wanted to be fed?!!! So, yeah. Never again. Idk what's going on but horses are running the hospital and it was a shitshow from start to finish. read more

Ordered their expensive Caesar salad and they forgot to include dressing so it was just leaves :(

This review is mostly for the size/price if the food. The quality is a solid two stars... Ordered pickup; classic pizza, "margherita" pizza, and an order of mozzarella sticks, at the paltry cost of $70!!! Yes, they charge $18 for FIVE average sized mozzarella sticks. I've eaten at several locations before and am used to an eight slice, somewhat "personal" pie (if you are really really hungry). What I got today was two pies with six extremely tiny slices, each of which left an adult quite hungry. Also, the $26 "margherita" pizza which on the website shows a pizza WITH CHEESE ON IT came with a small ball of fresh mozzarella on the side but none on the pizza. Are you kidding me????? It was literally THE SAME pizza as the $20 one with a ball of mozzarella in a plastic cup. Really??? Super disappointed that $70 did not come close to filling up 2 adults and a young child. I could have got more food than this for $20 at a local pizza joint and better quality. I would avoid takeout until they get their act together. read more

Hours of operation are incorrect! Came to this location at 3 PM on a Wednesday and was told they open at 5 PM. Your profile says you open at 12 PM. Also knocked on the door to tell them about their hours on Yelp and was greeted by a rude unprofessional guy. They won't be in Park slope for long with that kind of customer service. read more

Service-wise, they are still getting the kinks out, but the place is excellent. It starts with the pizza I think and it kicks butt over here. I know its sacrilege to get gluten-free pizza, but I really dislike the side-effects of heavy gluten. This is a crust and pie. I sampled the regular as well and it is just as good as the other Emmy locations. Shaved brussels salad was solid. I need to try the burger (obvi), but it looks bangin and I have never heard a bad word about it. read more

Pretty good pizza, appetizers and friendly employees. Burger not as great as I thought it would be, not sure how it's award winning- Cold bun ok meat patty pretty sure it's frozen, just not the best burger I've had doesn't even hit the list my top 5. read more

Great service, incredible food, cool vibe. So excited to have this in the neighborhood!!

Apparently Detroit style pizza is pretty much school lunch pizza. Not bad but not anything to write home about. Gloppy sauce and cheese on Sicilian type crust. Ok crunch to the crust but tasted pretty salty. $75 for a pizza, cauliflower salad and three beers. Place is basically a kid food factory. When we left the wee bairns were everywhere. So not a great date place until later at night, I would guess. Service was pleasant but not super professional. Not super clean vibe; floors were kind of getting swept after a while but not very thoroughly. And I second what someone said about the oddly wet bathroom floor. So I was excited and went but don't feel the need to return. Didn't try the burger but likely won't be back. Nice big room inside and a big covered patio with lots of space (but hot in the evening sun). read more

My friend who "desired" pizza wanted to go.... Against my better judgement & others. The pizza tasted like frozen domino's , the Cesar salad tasted like it had been put through a dishwasher then dressed with awful dressing, the spicy chicken sandwich.... Let me not even say. And expensive!!! Save your $$ and go somewhere else for pizza. Skip the desire to go there. read more
