Super cute atmosphere and delicious food. Definitely the best pizza we had in Brooklyn (and that's saying something!). The salads were generous and fresh - especially loved the pear and arugula with Gorgonzola cheese. So so tasty! Good prices and friendly service. read more

It has great vibe and makes the best pizza I ever had in NYC. The place can get crowded so be early. read more

I've been wanting to try Brooklyn Firefly for some time now, but since I can't have dairy anymore, I'm always hesitant to try new pizza spots. After checking out the reviews though (and seeing that they had a vegan pie on their menu, just in case), I decided to give it a go. My date and I walked in on a Saturday without reservations and were seated right away. The first thing I noticed is that the place smelled AMAZING and smooth jazz was playing in the background. The space was dimly lit and has a very home-y feeling. We both had a feeling we'd love this place before we even reached our table. The pizza selections all looked amazing, with punny names that can't be beat. My date can have dairy (and I'm so jealous of him) so he ordered a couple of apps to start, although he felt bad that I couldn't partake lol. He went with the rice balls, The Big Ragu, and a side of fries (I think he ordered the basic, but these came with truffle - c'est la vie), all of which were devoured. We also finally decided our drink orders before choosing a pizza to split. He ordered a bourbon cocktail which he said was delicious, and I went with the namesake beer brewed in good 'ol Staten Island. I couldn't have been happier with my beer choice. For our pizza to split, we went with the Saturday Night Fever... partially because it was Saturday night, and 'when in Rome' lol. This comes with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, hot honey, hot soppressata & carmelized onions. Since I can't have dairy, we asked our waitress if they could make half of the pie without cheese which she said wasn't a problem (thank God). I would have tried the vegan pie but how could I pass up on hot soppressata and hot honey? I was happy that they were able to accommodate my sad allergy. The pizza was delicious (although our second server made a boo boo and topped it with sprinkled Parmesan which I had to painstakingly pick off, but I'll forgive). We couldn't stop raving about it, and when I told my date I'd write a Yelp review, he was adamant that this place deserved all the stars. Now that I know they can accommodate my disappointing dairy allergy, I feel like I'll be back again and again and again and again.... I can't wait to try some more pizza options. I'll just be sure to ask for no cheese sprinkled on top to avoid any confusion. And I'll be sure to snap pics next time! read more

There are things that people say to you that stick with you forever. For me, it was when a coworker told me, "I had pizza with peas on it!" That was about 4 years ago, and I finally got to try the pizza (it's the vodka one). I really should've went to the Firefly earlier! We went all out on takeout for my brother-in-law's birthday. Luckily, they have several family meal specials. We opted for the one with two pies, rice balls, garlic knots, and fries. And also one more pie on top of that because why not? We got a square pie with half mushrooms, the Bad Racket (vodka, smoked mozz, ricotta, peas, prosciutto), and Lento's Ghost (thin crust margarita, basically). My BIL was most interested in the Lento's Ghost because his dad used to go to Lento's Pizzeria in Bay Ridge back in the day (it closed 15 years ago after 70+ years in the neighborhood). Everything was really good. As mentioned, the vodka pie with peas! Great sauce. Even my parents liked that one, and they hate most things. The square pie was nice and crispy. Not too thick of a crust. Great sauce, and the mushroom side was pretty loaded up. The Lento's Ghost was a great thin crust pizza. Pretty no frills. Just done very well. For the sides, we went with the big ragu riceballs (3 to the order). These were some pretty hefty balls. Generously stuffed, and went well with the tomato sauce. For the fries, you get a choice of sauce, so we went with the lemon ricotta. Also, they're not really fries. More like smashed potatoes, but if you ask me, that's even better! The garlic knots I could take or leave. Noticed it wasn't even on their regular menu outside of the family meal. But yeah, a ton of food. And leftovers for days! I only went in to grab my order, but the space looked great. A long bar with TVs and some good beers. They also have patio seating. And if you follow them on Instagram, you'll see all the live music they have. The servers were also super nice! Will definitely be back! read more

Must get their calzoned and potatoes! I was honestly surprise by how good their burger calzone was and it comes with fries!! Yummyyyy

This review is based off my order that i had delivered. I do intend to come back to Brooklyn Firefly to try the other food options they provide. I ordered the Margarita pie and a chicken cuzzie sandwich. The Margarita pie is on the thinner side and definitely smaller and more pricier than the other pizza spots around the neighborhood. There wasn't a lot of sauce either. The Chicken cuzzie is a chicken parm sandwich which was a decent size but the chicken was a bit dry. For $18, i would expect the sandwich to be better. If you like thin crusted pizzas, this is a place to try. I look forward to updating my review once i go have a sit down at the store. read more

Fresh, very tasty and hot. Sourdough pizza with prosciutto and arugula was delish! Delivery time was good

Wasn't aware this place would have a live band. They played the most annoying music I've ever heard--and very loudly, if you're sitting in the section of the restaurant where they are set up. Good luck hearing each other or the waitstaff. The food was pretty good, and the decor was nice, but I don't think I'll be back because I don't think I can stomach those tunes ever again. read more

At first, when we entered, the warm welcome I received from Aubrey was amazing and then the conversation there after. I would have given five stars had the utensils and plates been cleaned properly and if the service provided by the waitress that assisted us, was as amazing as Audrey's interaction. The waitress's service was bland and just not what I expected but I definitely am looking forward to going back and seeing Aubrey, I definitely will be sitting at the bar and enjoying the energy. Love the "Big Dominican Familia" read more

It's about time for an update. Came here a couple of times during the summer. Service has gotten much better and also the food is much more tastier. I love the riceballs and the pizza is crunchy and tasty. Beers on tap and some ipas. The drinks aren't really strong, but will keep you sipping while chatting with friends. Will be coming back during the summer with my pupper and good company. read more

We did a team dinner here and rented out the back room for a few hours, space was really large we only had around 26 people but definitely could hold more. The pizza was so so good, we had the vodka square, plain, pepperoni and rosie. All very good. Caesar was okay and rice balls would definitely recommend. Would come again it was very good, atmosphere and staff were also great! read more

Every time I come to Brooklyn, I love the pizza with the hot honey and the capicola type meat on top. The last two times the meat, tastes old, and I sort of regret having ordered it again. In the past it has been amazing, but it seems the quality is not what it used to be.... it's sort of tastes like lunchmeat that has been left out of the bag in the refrigerator and has absorbed other flavors as well .....I don't know what it is.... and I really am sad about it because it was the best pizza.... And I would look so forward to getting it, but I'm done, unless they let me know that the meat will be fresh. read more

Soooooooo disappointed in this place! First week living in bay ridge I find a spot that serves vegan pizza I'm so excited I rush to order. I ordered a pizza and the potatoes. $40 a little pricy but again, I'm excited and the pizza sounds so yummy. Well, after 2 hours of waiting (not the Uber drivers fault as this is down the street from me, the food simply took FOREVER to come out) the food finally comes and it's inedible. The pizza is burnt but at this point I was so hungry I attempt to eat the least burnt slices and a few bites in I find a piece of hair in my pizza. Hair was black, my hair is light brown. So it's safe to say I wasted my $40 and I will never go here despite the fact that the menu seems tasty especially for a vegan who is limited in options usually. I want to also note that I managed several pizzerias for over 6 years and I never would have let a pizza get boxed up looking that way. Quality control needs some work clearly. read more

My husband and I walked by a few weekends ago (we just moved to the neighborhood) and tried peeking in through the windows since it seemed like they have live music from the signage out front (they were closed when we walked by). Then we got home and I forgot to check. But then this past weekend, a friend asked me to join her there. And I'm so glad I did. The Firefly is cozy as all get out- not cramped- simply cozy and warm and welcoming. Of course, it wasn't terribly busy when we were there, Covid still keeping folks away these days. But yes there was live music on a teensy little stage in back- with a 3 piece blues band (upright piano, upright bass, guitar and vocals). They were excellent, and fit the mood of the place to a T. And ahem, the FOOD? OMG so good. We shared a potato appetizer with lemon ricotta YUUMMMMMM. And we each ordered a personal pie- she can't eat certain types of meat, and I can't eat wheat. They took great care of both of us: I had the Saturday Night Fever GF pie with hot/sweet sopprasetta and hot honey (and cheese, red sauce, basil). SO GOOD. I just ate my last piece of leftovers just now :-) My friend had the Rosie- a unique and TASTY pie with red sauce, whipped marscarpone and fresh rosemary. I had a glass of wine which was excellent, and she had a signature cocktail which she seemed to enjoy very much ;-) Oh, and the service was impeccable- not fancy by any means- just spot on there when you needed them, which is grade A in my book. I could hardly wait to tell my husband about the place- we will most decidedly go back, and enjoy many incredible meals there in the future. Yay for the Brooklyn Firefly! read more

I just love their pizza and calzones. Good drinks selection. Love the old Brooklyn ambience. Live music on Saturday nights.

I had reservations for two and to be seated at a booth through Resy. When we got there, they seated us in the middle of a lot of people when the restaurant was half empty because it was raining last night. The waiter said he didn't see the booth on his end even though I said I ordered a booth online. I pulled it up on my phone and indicated that I did have a booth. Then the manager came and said that what they are seating us at is considered a booth; like we are stupid for she pointed to seats were it is a chair not a booth. And the waiter said clearly that he doesn't see the booth on his end, so who is lying? Prior to leaving I asked for the manager and she said she is the manager, and I asked if she would accommodate us because that's what we ordered and there was an empty booth that I pointed to and she said no she cannot accommodate me because it's Saturday night and in case they get crowded she can't do it even though the restaurant was half empty and it was 6:40 PM. Too bad she lost a customer and I will also be telling all the parents from Xaverian. read more

Food: The Truffle fries are good. Its not actual fries but a smashed potato baked and made crispy. Ordered 2 family size (16") pies - one was 'half margarita - half pepperoni' and the other one was 'The Shrooms'. Overall good portion size, the slices were a bit thick so it felt like American-Italian pizza. The sauce to cheese ratio was good on margarita and shrooms was delicious as well. Drinks: Not really great. Margarita, Bourbon Oregano, Mezcal Mule were okay-ish, not too strong or well prepared. Just edible. Ambience: Very good and classy. Well lit and spacious seating inside and outside. The place also has a bar. The waitress was very friendly and the service was quick. But the prices are a bit on the expensive side. read more

Overall, I can give this place a good rating, but I can't give 5 for two reasons. We must have been here on an off night because the bar was a bit off. My wife ordered the sangria that was like juice, my father in law ordered a beer that never came, I was the only successful one who received a beer, but it was already bottled. That and I am not sure what this place is trying to be. It seems a little too big for what it is, theres jazz music, a ton of pizza, maybe it's just my wife and I, but we just don't see the personality here. Now that the negatives are out of the way, while I did not expect this to be a pizza place amongst so many other good pizza spots in the area, this actually turned out to be really good. Yes, really good. My in-laws had gotten started before us and finished up a meatball dish that they compared to an amazing Italian place on the island(that I won't mention by name). By the time we came, we got on the baby arugula salad with pear. The salad ate like a summer salad yet was very winter friendly. The taste of the pear with the cheese worked well together. Our first pizza was the lords of brooklyn, which was exactly what I was looking at and the best one we ordered(but not by far). The sausage, the ricotta, the super perfect crust that had just the right hang time but kept the slice together. It was brooklyn pizza perfection almost. Our second pizza, a relic of the place that was there before Firefly, was The Lento's ghost. Somehow this pie captures what old brooklyn was in a single bite and the pop of the cracker like crust. This was amazing. With every bite we had said all that it needed was that sausage from the first pizza and it would blow it out the water, but we will keep this in mind for next time. All in all, all you need to know is it was so good that my in laws had to call us over to join them, and then my sister in law wanted a pie to try for herself! She got the bad racket and raved about it. Will return here soon. Thank you. read more

I live blocks from here but have never been, until i found out they had vegan pizza. Now, ive had a lot of vegan pizza so im not easily impressed. I ordered the margarita vegan pizza for pickup and was shocked at the size of it. Honestly for the price i was expecting a little more. It did have 8 slices, but was very small, too hard at the crust and on the bottom and dry, and did not taste anything like the margarita pizzas i've had. Originally i was excited to know theres a vegan pizza spot in my neighborhood but i guess i'll have to keep traveling to enjoy a good pie. read more

Dined here last night for my friends birthday dinner with family and close friends, including 3 kids under the age of 5. The people working at this restaurant were extremely kind and patient with our large group and rambunctious children! They were friendly and helpful throughout our dinner, constantly checking for new drink orders, accommodating special requests, etc. The food here is delicious. I grew up two blocks down Ovington and remember when it was Lentos and was so surprised to see a Lentos style pizza on the menu (of course i ordered it). The calzones were delicious, the rice balls a hit, the pizzas, everything was very enjoyable. The decor is also beautiful - candles everywhere and warm lights, lots of wood and old signage. It's a lovely space with amazing food and excellent service, thank you firefly! read more

The Brooklyn Firefly - Margarita Pie - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great food and service. The former and beloved Lento's location now holds a hipster/jazz-esq theme and does so exceptionally well. Some of my favorite music from old school movies like A Bronx Tale and Goodfellas (Tony Bennett, The Ink Spots, Dion and the Belmonts) was playing which was a nice addition. Let's get down to business and shed some light on something very important: the pizza. If you want a great pizza, then this is the place. If you are really hungry, then you should probably order two pies simultaneously - this is not only because they are so easy to eat, but because it takes a solid 20 minute wait per pie itself. I've tried 3 pizza varieties and all have come with a thin, crunchy crust (the way it should be). The homemade sauce and mozzarella stand out and each bite delivers plenty of flavor. I have but one issue with this place, however, and it's that it passes one of their pies as a Lento's throwback. It is nothing of the sort. It is critical that you do not expect a Lento's Pizza from The Brooklyn Firefly. This is my only criticism, in the way that the staff and menu seemingly push an item called the "Lento's Ghost" as a pie resembling the now-gone classic. Although it is promised to have "extra crispy, crunchy crust" as the original Lento's on top of the mozzarella and sauce, it doesn't deliver nearly as well as it says it does and includes "basil oil" and a green basil coat of some sort. Now, I am not saying it isn't good, I am outlining the fact that it is far from Lento's and is extremely misleading. At least 2 cooks/kitchen staff members had expressed to my party and I that they "never tried the original Lento's" on top of that, which crushed my hopes of ever receiving the true "Lento's Ghost" I had hoped for. Let me give a short recap of why this isn't right I loved Lento's and my father loved Lento's 100x more. When the original Lento's closed, it hit him pretty hard, especially in the sense that his favorite restaurant (with his favorite pizza anywhere) was now closed for good. Bay Ridge, out of the blue, bore a restaurant with "Lento's-Styled Pizza" and he discovered it almost immediately - order was restored. The pizza was exactly the same and I stand as a primary source, having eaten at both restaurants. Bay Ridge closed sure enough and by 2011, we were left Lento-less. Now, in 2018, with hopes extremely high, and even higher after calling the restaurant to confirm that the new place crafts a "Lento's Pizza, the original way", my father and I were crushed once again. All it took was a look to determine what we would be tasting, and it wasn't Lento's read more

Update: "Donna M" manager posted the same boilerplate response to my review of 5 years ago!! When my friends and I arrived at 9 o'clock on a Friday night at this restaurant bar, we were simply told they are not seating anybody else for the evening and attempted to turn away our group. When I explained, we just wanted to drink, this 15 year old looking boy squinted at me and said I have to check. He then came back and said OK then walked away. He didn't offer us to sit at a table and didn't offer menus with alcohol. He did tell us that the kitchen closes at 10 which was a full hour away. I asked to speak to whoever the manager on duty was. The manager on duty said it is simply policy to turn people away at 9 o'clock. I asked all we wanna do is drink. This is a bar right? She looked at me and said OK and turned away. Surrounding her for at least six other employees who didn't even bother to acknowledge our group, so I said great will be outside send the waitress. Maybe I'm just an old man who remembers a different time but when you go to the bar on a Friday night the kid who is supposed to see you Should not turn you away at 9 o'clock. Over priced pizza. The service staff treats you like you're not supposed to be there. read more

Their vibe is everything. Love the outdoor patio area. I was floored by how delicious their vegan options are. I learned that they make their vegan cheese in house - hello, homemade vegan ricotta?!?? Yes, please! But honestly, the best part about their pies is the crust. Sauce is good, and theirs certainly is, but it ain't a great pizza without a delicious crust. I ate it all. 10/10 will be back. read more

This is our favorite place ever! Such a gem of the neighborhood... Don't over crowd it haha! But definitely patronize!

This place is awesome! The food is great, the atmosphere is on point, and the service stellar. The food and drinks are creative and tasty. I highly recommend the fire fries as a starter, as you can not go wrong with any of the flavor choices. The pizzas have all been great and all the ingredients taste fresh. The cocktails are a blend of traditional drinks with an addation of fresh herbs. The atmosphere is amazing. The front area is your typical bar area but as you walk back to where the stage area is located everything opens up. The ceiling is lined with lights that gives you a feeling of being outside. The stage area is small but fits the jazz bands that are playing on Friday and Sunday nights. The table areas are basic but give you homie feel. My wife and I first came here for the jazz music, the food was amazing but the service is what endeared this establishment to us. Always professional and helpful the staff is the best. I highly recommend making reservations on the weekend if you want to sit near the stage area. If you are looking for a date spot or just a cool space to relax at this your place. read more

Go here for vegan pizza! They get it! I'm so tired of pizzerias just subbing cheese for daiya and then it's a gooey mess. But Firefly gets it right. I ordered the San Gennero for delivery, and while it's pricey, it's so delicious. House made "cheese" could use more salt and garlic but I enjoyed the pesto, peppers and vegan sausage. It's all about the crust, however! Probably better fresh outta the oven, so I just popped a few slices in the toaster oven when it arrived. So happy! Can't wait to visit in person and try the calzones. Thank youuuuuu so much for offering vegan options - it's hard to come by in south Brooklyn! read more

I don't usually write a lot of reviews but felt this one was necessary. I was visiting a good friend in Bay Ridge and he recommended this place as he has been there a bunch of times. I'm from out of town and was craving a good slice of NY pizza. The food was decent but the 2 stars goes to the Blonde woman who was an absolute misery the entire time she served us like she was doing us a favor. I was so uncomfortable with this waitress who had a major attitude from the moment we sat down only to find out she was the manager! Wow! Nice way to get customers to come back again. She definitely needs a refresher course in customer service cause whatever she was doing wasn't working. The only upside to this entire outing was the bartender Aubrey who could not have been sweeter and made a damn good margarita! We loved her and had so much fun chatting. Will definitely be back again but this time I think we will sit at the bar and enjoy our pizza read more

I can't say enough good things about this amazing establishment. It's far more than Pizza Music and Art. It's family run restaurant but more of a bohemian epicentre. A true throwback, a place you would expect to see artist, writers, musicians, families, and locals gather and break bread. It's evident that they put their heart and soul into every aspect of this treasure. It's classically designed but has a clear comprehension of the modern customer. They host many live events. Don't just go on the weekends, check out what they have going on during the week. You'll be surprised. Come in for the experience, the menu has something for everyone, we've had the Saturday Night Fever pizza - loved the the spiced honey drizzle and the Lemoncello calzone with fresh lemon ricotta. One of my favorites is the old school chocolate egg cream. Top quality ingredients, and cooked to perfection! This is my new favorite joint! read more

The Brooklyn Firefly - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Local pizza joint lives up to the new brooklyn Vibe. The moment you walk into Brooklyn firefly you get that newly minted hipster vibe- exposed brick walls, dimly lighted with dazzling stringed lights everywhere and lots of artisanal beers. We ordered the meat rice balls, fries to start and the brooklyn pie for our main entree. The rice balls are nicely seasoned but a bit mushy and the fries are seasoned well and fried. The pie has a nice crust to sauce ratio and the cheese is pretty phenomenal. One complaint I have is the service. The waitress was nice but the food took forever and we finished our pizza before the appetizers even got to the table! There is a spot for local bands to perform in the back as well. Definitely a spot worth checking out and even taking the R train for but I wouldn't say is the best of the best. read more
