Bay Ridge Pizzeria

One of the last great places in Brooklyn to have authentic Brooklyn pizza. I recommend both square and round pies. Sauce is classic, and the cheese had upheld the standards I have grown up with. In a world where most businesses are cutting expenses, Bay Ridge pizza puts its quality over its costs. After Leaving Brooklyn 20 years ago, and after walking up and down 5th Ave, This was a sight for sore eyes, and a treat for lunch reminiscent of my time as a Brooklynite.

I’m gluten free and had an abundance of options to choose from, it was a harder decision than normal. One of the workers even made a special pizza with my toppings that I wanted so they catered super well. They are all friendly and have a great attitude even when we walked in one minute after opening. Highly recommended this place for gluten free people and people who love to chat with the owners.

I am so pleased with the owners and staff at Bay Ridge Pizza, my 8 year old granddaughter has Celliac Condition and I ordered Gluten Free Pizza yesterday for her and for my family. The owner Chris let me know what the ingredients were in the pizza to make sure it would be good for her.The pizza was incredible and she loved it, we tried many other places and this gluten free was exceptional. I always order from them but never gluten free, I’m so very happy with their restaurant and how exceptional and kind they are to their customers.

This place has really good dough in my opinion. I personally go elsewhere for other specially slices like vodka and grandma(their “grandma” is not thin crust, i think they call it “grandma style pizza”) but this place may have the best bread in town. They also have really fresh and tasty fried calamari, baked clams and my go to, their own bay ridge special pizza.

Late on the night of Sunday, December 18, 2022, my friends and I visited Bay Ridge Pizza after touring Christmas displays in Dyker Heights. Cold, hungry and in one case, unwell, Gaspar (the owner) and Christopher both welcomed us in for an exceptional meal and great experience. At Gaspar's suggestion, we tried the Grandmother Pizza which was nothing short of divine. He and Christopher made us feel like we were at home and had a great conversation with us late into the evening. We would highly recommend both the food and staff at Bay Ridge Pizza, and will definitely visit again!
