| - We came here in the early evening primarily to try the North of Brooklyn pizza. You order this from the pizza maestros in the back. They had slices ready to warm up, but we ordered a fresh, full pizza to share. It took about 15-20 minutes and the guy was nice enough to deliver it to us at the bar when it was ready. We chose the Killer Bee, with calabrese sausage, serrano peppers, pickled red onions and a drizzle of honey.
Of course we had a beer while we waited - what a seriously impressive craft list here! I would have made a killer bee-line here earlier if I knew there was Halo on tap! And the raspberry saison from Great Lakes - so excellent to see this yummy stuff on draught in the city.
This is a fun place to people-watch. It's a spacious bar with Christmas lights, old photos and posters, kitschy furniture. Plus a great big high-top bar to sit at. There's also Ms. Pac-Man which, understandably, is nearly always occupied.
The pizza came on the 14" silver tray it was cooked on and a handful of brown paper towels. It was so hot (YES!) it was impossible to pick up at first (a bit soggy in the centre), but I could not wait to get in there and taste it at its mouth-burning best. We maneuvered a way of flopping the wet center back up onto the slice - without tools - and this worked.
Killer Bee was KILLER YUMMEH!
The only drawback was the challenge of eating something so hot without plates or utensils (but HOT will forever trump TOOLS). The bartender offered us paper plates when we were halfway through our last slice, so kind of useless at that point. But plates or no plates, I will definitely be back here for pizza and beer!
