Paulie Gee's

Here's an only in New York story for you: man loves pizza so much he follows pizza blogs, writes pizza tweets, befriends pizza eaters (including our pal Howard), and builds a pizza oven in his backyard. Still not content, he does a de facto internship at Roberta's and opens a pizza place in Greenpoint, using locally sourced, carefully selected ingredients to prepare superbly, passionately crafted pies in a specially ordered artisanal oven.

Our selections included arugula with lemon juice, kale and mushroom, and sopressata, along with a nutella and pear dessert pie. The crusts were bubbly, chewy, and vaguely misshapen, exactly the way we like them.
