Brooklyn Pizza Company is runner-up no more—it's now Brooklyn's turn to be the best. Since 1996, Brooklyn Pizza has been serving hot, tasty pizza on Fourth Avenue. There are calzones, heros, pasta and desserts on the menu, but the hand-tossed, stone-fired pizza takes the starring role. Slices are either regular or Sicilian-style. Get your regular cheese pie, or even a cheeseless veggie or white pizza. Toppings range from the typical pepperoni to eggplant and even potato. And even more appetizing is the fact that Brooklyn has gone solar, with panels generating massive amounts of electricity. Enjoy the lively environment while biting into that chewy crust and gooey cheese, and you'll be transported back to New York.
