Review The Brooklyn Firefly - Brooklyn

I went on a rainy Sunday recently for the second time, and it was a lovely experience. The first time I had to wait a bit at the bar for a table, but this time we got seated right away. The waitresses were super great and attentive. At one point, they heard my date and I say how hot we were feeling with the heat turned on. They turned down the heat and even brought us a cup of ice water. I super appreciated that! Would definitely come again and try more of their pizza options!

Not your uncle's dive-bar, I stumbled on one of Brooklyn's gems on a Wednesday night. An open mic night of local musicians, a dedicated few of us were serenaded by cool jazz and blues. Even though the staff was at the end of the night - the kitchen had closed -they still made time for a smile, a little conversation, and serve a decent drink at a cool Brooklyn price. Didn't get a chance to have the pizza, but there were a few around me who had take away boxes full of what they couldn't finish. I'll have to go back for a pie...you should stop by, too.

They had live music playing and the artwork/graffiti displayed all set the mood. The vegan pizza is probably some of the best I’ve had. Also got the chicken cuzzi sandwich and the baked calzone with a side of fries. The fries were kind of just fried potatoes, they weren’t cut thinly, but they tasted good. The sandwich also tasted good, the portions are large though. Overall, a great place.

Went here for a baby shower, all the food and service was excellent. Highly recommend their pizzas 🍕.

Very delicious pizza! Customizable to your dietary needs and many options.

Update: went back again and food is still amazing! A family size pie is still just as filling as 2 personal pies, ans even more worth it in price. Love that they have an entire vegan pizza menu and they allow you to choose vegan cheese on their regular pizza! For dairy intolerant peeps like me Brooklyn Firefly is a must go if you want good pizza! Love all their options so far and drinks selection too. Chill vibes with indoor and outdoor seating. And we bumped into live music on a Saturday and it was nice too. Music started at 7pm! Servers are super nice and attentive!

Amazing food options. Great service and very little waiting time Great pizza and probably one the best fries I ever eaten at a restaurant. Definitely worth a visit and I’m definitely coming back!!!

Delicious 😋 pizzas 🍕. The personal is a good portion. If you have a small appetite you can share if you have a big one it's perfect size tried the 86 and buffalo pizza both were delicious!!

Great spot with a special place in my heart. The vegan pizzas and calzones are great, and the fries are to die for if you like smashed potatoes with the perfect level of crispiness and saltiness.

This place is beautiful. Its not everyday we find a place great for a fun night out right in the middle of Bay Ridge Brooklyn. A beautiful place for live music, date night or friend night or group night. My husband and I are so impressed by what they have to offer and the ambiance. We order our food for a romantic night at home once a month we dont feel like cooking and we love to treat ourselves to Firefly. First off every single pizza you get- is spot on. Dont even consider not liking it even if its ingredients you arent used to. The high quality and out of this world taste of the combinations on every pizza will WOW you. You quite literally cannot go wrong. They have respect for their food thats why its like this. Beautiful! The rice balls as well are delicious. Big luxurious rice balls with a crispy outside and a melt in your mouth inside. We tried the spinach mushroom and my husband who hates mushrooms loved it. Im telling you you cannot go wrong w this place. On the side is a lucious pesto ricotta. Ricotta never tasted so girl and this is coming from someone whos mom cooked lasagna every weekend. The pic on uber has (and uber said firefly submitted the pic) had sauce but this didnt ...but eh it is what it is. So what lol The only thing Id say we were laughing a little about was the meatball. Its 14 dollars, not giant as advertised, almost no mozzerela in it even though its advertised to be oozing out of it, and its more of a 3 dollar meatball in foodtown. We were laughing lol. The pizza is expensive 30 a pie but worth it! Gourmet pizza! But this meatball was missing its insides for 14 it was quite the joke of the night. Other than that amazing. Dont order uber cause it gets cold quick but if you are picking up or dining in this is your place! Beautiful!

I stopped by The Brooklyn Firefly for the first time today because I heard so many great things about this place....And of course what I heard was right. I ordered the personal pizza called "The Lord of Brooklyn" and it was so flavorful and the sauce had such a nice taste. My Margarita Italiano also hit the spot as well. The restaurant is clean, the service was fast and the waitstaff was attentive. I will definitely come back in the future.

The pizzas are very fresh and original. There is definitely one that will fit your taste buds. The burger was decent. The fire fries were amazing though. They were very unique and we're quite crispy with a nice soft fluffy inside. The "thick" milkshake however was not thick. It was more whipped and not worth the price. Overall the experience was great. I would only order pizza and fries when I come here again.

I enjoyed my time at the Brooklyn Firefly mainly because it wasn't that many people the music was absolutely fabulous. And the atmosphere is a mixture of vintage and rustic with some Brooklyn charm. The pizzas are well made and the service is quick. My daughter absolutely loved the root beer float with vanilla ice cream!

Awesome pizza spot with delicious Italian desserts! There is a retro laid back vibe throughout the space that sort of gives off the feel of a speakeasy. It's dark colored walls are decorated with local artist artwork and the pieces are actually available for purchase. I also loved the soulful music. The front of the restaurant features a great bar but in the back, there are two rooms of tables for sitting. The back room has a small stage to host live music it seems. Also, has a great outdoor seating space. 5 stars for food deliciousness and quality! The "Lords of Brooklyn" pizza was out of this world amazing. Desserts were also very good. Sundays appear the be family oriented since they offer a special family portioned menu. Prices are reasonable and reflect the quality of the food. Every employee from the hostess, server and bus boy were very nice; but our waitress was slow (& we were the only people in the restaurant that night) and seemed more concerned with hanging out at the bar then checking if we needed anything. Otherwise, my experience was good.

Brooklyn Firefly is a cute and nice pizza-ish restaurant in Bay Ridge. They're pet friendly (you can bring your dog 🙂). The food is really good (I got a cheeseburger calzone), and the menu overall shows a lot of creative love for Bay Ridge. Despite being understaffed, all the staff were really hustling, rushing around and still being upbeat and polite, so please be kind. Definitely worth going to!

Great place for get togethers and food. The indoor atmosphere is dimley lit and calm. Outdoor seating is nice if the weather is nice. Pizza and calzones are delicious. The pizza is thin crust. I would highly recommend this place.

Honestly, I used to think the trope 'the best pizza in nyc is definitely somewhere in Brooklyn, but you gotta find it' is pretty cliche and admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of pizza or Italian food in general since I get heartburn just by looking at the tomato sauce, a result from working at an Italian joint in the past + having free lunches there for 2 straight years, yeah lucky me! So when I was in town visiting my pal he insisted taking me to this place and boy, I stood corrected the moment I had the first bite. This place changes my view on pizza forever and I'd continue to sing praises and recommend Firefly to everyone (if we've had a chance to cross the border to come down for a visit again and soon, hopefully!). Bonuses: rustic vibe, great service and prices are on point!
