    Perfect pizza!
    Christina C.

    If you want a friendly, enjoyable environment to enjoy beer and pizza in, check out Root + Branch in Copiague. They make some really delicious beer at this place. They seem to specialize in IPA but they have other kinds as well. I recently had a Culminate Grand Cru: Merlot which is a high powered lambic (9.8%) which was excellent. I've also had the Covered In Nothing Saison which is a farmhouse ale that is barrel-fermented and aged for 15 months in French oak red wine barrels. This was excellent as well and was very tasty. Nothing complements beer better than pizza and luckily Root + Branch has Nico's wood fired pizza available to satisfy any pizza craving. The pizza is nice and thin, crispy but not burnt, just the way I like it. I love this place!

    This beer garden/food truck pizza is tucked away and a bit hard to find. It has a parking lot out in front with outdoor seating and many tables inside. It's simple. It's clean. It's very friendly. There are about a dozen and a half beers on tap. All reasonably priced and unique. Cold and served with a smile. Through a glass door is literally a pizza truck. They are super friendly with only about 6 pizzas. They are charred and thin and hot and delicious. We had the original and left craving a few more pies. Very kid friendly and there is no pressure to eat and rush. This is a hidden gem and if you like very thin, artisan pizza, put your GPS on and find this place!

    Excellent pizza

    Amazing brewery. Bunch of excellent taps to choose from and amazing pizza from Nico's. Makes for a perfect lunch or dinner spot !!

    Root + Branch Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in Copiague, New York in July 2022. It was founded by long-time friends and business partners Anthony Sorice and Ryan Mauban. The duo met when they worked as bartenders at Tørst: a popular craft beer bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Sorice eventually became an assistant brewer at Brooklyn's Three's Brewing Company and later head brewer at LIC BEER Project, while Mauban worked around at other Brooklyn restaurants. The two eventually decided to open their own brewery. They officially founded their brewery and brand in 2018 as a gypsy brewing operation. They chose the name 'Root + Branch' in reference to a literary group and magazine that Sorice's old college history professor started with his former colleagues. Sorice has a love for history and philosophy and originally thought about becoming a history professor. The duo brewed their first batches of beer at larger established breweries like Twelve Percent Beer Project (North Haven, CT), Great South Bay Brewery (Bay Shore, NY), and Evil Twin Brewing (Queens, NY). After four years of hard work, they finally opened their own space on Long Island underneath an elevated railway. Sorice and Mauban wanted to offer a food option to encourage their customers to stay at the brewery longer. They enlisted the help of Sorice's father, Frank Sorice: a former pizzaiolo who was experimenting with wood-fired pies in his backyard. Brother Chris Sorice also came on board and the new wood-fired pizza operation was dubbed "Nico's Charred Pies", named for a beloved family dog. My family and I recently visited Root + Branch Brewing for the first time. My wife asked me where I wanted to go to celebrate my 40th Birthday, and I chose Root + Branch without hesitation. Although I had never visited the brewery, I had first tried their beer when they were brewing at Twelve Percent Beer Project (which is just a short drive from my house) and I began following them closely from then on. We really liked the location: small yet intimate, very quiet, chill vibes, not crowded at all. We also liked that it was located right underneath an elevated railway for the Long Island Railroad. My family and I enjoyed watching trains rolling by every so often. The brewery doesn't offer flights but they do offer short pours. I enjoyed samples of "Grammatical Fiction" (New England IPA), "Ben Is Dead" (Double New England IPA), "Reel Ten" (Double New England IPA), and "Drawing The Line" (Triple New England IPA). Every single beer that I tried was fantastic; each one better than the previous one. We were also equally excited to try some pizza from Nico's Charred Pies. We ordered and split the "G&R Upside Down Margherita" (aged and G&R Deli hand-stretched fresh mozz, tomato, Sicilian oregano, pecorino, basil, evoo, grana padano; we opted to add pepperoni, fresh burrata, hot honey) and the "G&R Special White" (aged and G&R Deli hand-stretched fresh mozz, pecorino, garlic, lemon, whipped ricotta, tellicherry black pepper, G&R pistachio pesto, evoo, grana padano). OMG! Not only is the beer at Root + Branch out of this world but so is the pizza! It's been a while since I was this impressed with a brewery (or pizzeria for that matter). I also must add that all of the staff were just lovely. I would easily list Root + Branch as one of my Top 5 favorite breweries and I can't wait to go back.

    We got the delicious sour and the bone in the throat. The sour had the right balance of fruit, tart and hops. I just loved it. This is going to be my default here. The bone in throat was quite a surprise. I was expecting it to be way bitter but it was pleasant. Had great beers and a great time. I did not get to taste the pizza this time but I hear only good things about them.

    Made a stop here on my way home from NYC albeit pretty far out of the way and I am very glad I did! I'll start with the best part, the beer! Not only can they brew some great haze, the lager, pilsner and stout were also outstanding in their own right. The Czech pilsner was true to style, crisp and refreshing. And the maple coffee stout was super well balanced. And of course the hazies were as good as can be brewed (on par w other half, tree house, Fidens, trillium etc.). The taproom itself is quite sterile, which I believe is their intent. It's clean, bright, airy and a change from the typical industrial brewery space. The outdoor patio is perfect with ample seating and umbrellas. Only negative is it sits under the rail so the trains can be a little disruptive to outdoor patrons. The beer tenders were knowledgeable and friendly. It was pretty quiet when we were there and we never waited for service. You could tell they had some regulars in the taproom. We got pizza from the Nicos truck that is stationed there and it was very good. Nice thin crust and char from the wood fire. Their staff was friendly and helpful as well. Overall it was a great visit with a cool vibe! If you go, know that the entrance and parking are on Railroad Ave , not Marconi blvd so set your gps accordingly :)

    Friends.

    Great place to meet up with friends and family. Service was quick and friendly. Food there was great as well.

    The Castle - pale ale, sessionable at jsut over 5 abv
    Lee M.

    Arriving late to this party, and jealousy aside for those that were able to hit up the soft opening on Thursday, Sunday was the day I have been eagerly anticipating. Checking in with those in the know, I came with a mission, to sample at least three drafts, and stay sensible enough to drive a 500+ HP pony home. The indoor space is austere, outside tables plentiful. No live music, no internet password, minimal distractions, save for the passing of the LIRR. Why come here then? I am only here for the beers. Started with 2 small pours. First up was The Castle, a clean, tropical sessionable pale ale. Eyes Without a Face next, juicier and dank (someone wrote somewhere, "dank , the new umami"). Last, or so I thought, was a full pour of Life and Fate X. If you want to know what that was all about, check out my friend Olivia C's notes on Untappd. I overheard, at a boisterous table, that they were sharing a can of the BA Disintegration II in honor of Sandy's birthday! I engaged,and sent my wishes, mentioned it was " a my birthday too" ( 2 weeks ago, actually). I was invited to bring a clean glass to the table and share in this treasure. I am glad I didn't miss this stout, savored the precious few ounces for quite some time. Hat's off to you Anthony Sorice and everyone who made these beers and space our reality! If you don't know R&B, I urge you to go find out, now! Address is Marconi, parking on Railroad, Thank me later, with a beer!

The location might seem small, but it's jammed packed with traditional flavors that are being executed to perfection. Can't believe I waited this long living in the neighborhood (2+yrs) to finally stroll in and experience what some might say is 'Pura Vida' or !Magnífico¡ Upon first visit, I had to try one of their margaritas and at least one 'Street food' menu item, so opted for their Pear Margarita and Birria Empanadas. Let's say Bravo, Brava and Encore to explore more of their menu. The cocktail was totally on point without being overpowering in any way, very balanced and brightly refreshing. The empanadas were deliciously crispy without being greasy, stuffed and sealed perfectly. Then opted to try their Mashed Potatoes Fries and requested a side of their advertised Shishito slaw seen topping another menu item. I loved the way they created and presented both. The fries were a perfect balance of soft but crisped with the creme drizzle and pickled onions. :* The Shishito slaw was a summery, crunch lightly dressed which has me wanting and requesting more the next visit. They should definitely add that as one of their regular listed sides. My husband had a burger with regular slaw and an old fashioned styled cocktail which he mentioned to be exceptional as well. Can't wait to dive deeper into their menu and would highly recommend to others.

Women-owned and operated, and you can truly feel the heart behind everything they do. We started with the roasted beet salad -- light, fresh, and the perfect opening for what was to come. Then the feast began....elote, cajun lime BBQ wings, mussels, tuna tostadas, chicken taquito, carne asada taco, and pernil with rice & beans... and WOW. Every single dish had its own unique flavor that kept me wanting more. * The elote was seasoned perfectly * Wings were crispy and literally finger-lickin' good * Mussels came in a rich, delicious Cajun cream sauce * Tuna tostada had a delicious soy-sesame glaze * Chicken taquito = crisp perfection * Carne asada taco cooked perfectly * Pernil with rice and beans was a perfect marriage of flavors To finish it all off was churro bites which was the sweetest ending. I also had a classic margarita which was fantastic. Service was just as impressive as the food...waters were never empty and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They even provided us wet-naps after both the elote and wings. I cannot wait to come back. Thank you for taking such great care of our private party!

    My fiancé and I came here for lunch after our original choice was closed for a private event…read more We were the only ones there and it did take some time for our appetizer to come out. We had fried cheese which was described as "Crispy, Halloumi-Style Queso Freir, Topped with Tomato, Jalapeños, & Hot Agave." It was good, but not "blow me away" good. It came with 4 pieces, so not really enough to share with a large group. For my tacos I had the crispy pumpkin, sesame chicken and spicy pork. Out of the 3, the crispy pumpkin was my favorite. The sesame chicken and spicy pork were "basic" speciality tacos and nothing about them really set them apart from other establishments offering the same. The crispy pumpkin though...so unique and had great flavor. My fiancé had Ruby's signature bowl and added chorizo. He enjoyed it and it was a very generous portion. Service was decent.

Always checking to see if our glasses needed to be filled or just seeing if we were still vibing. The music played is my type of tunes. Punk, Rock, and Emo... How could you go wrong?? Also the deco is raw, edgy and yet still welcoming. Surly a place you could chill for hours. They have a wide selection of beers on tap, and specialty drinks. And the food.. The food is of 5star quality. The shredded beef taco was seriously one of the best tacos I have ever had the pleasure of eating and the fried pickled jalapeños were surprisingly amazing. Far beyond what I expected... If you're in the area, I 100% say stop on in! You won't be disappointed!!
