Brooklyn DOP — Restaurant in New York

I have a love-hate relationship with DOP. First, the margherita with pepperoni and shallots is sublime. It's world class pizza; I will die on this hill. No matter what else I say, know that I will continue coming back for it as long as they'll have me.

OK, so the logistics here are sloppy. This is not a well-oiled, customer-centric establishment. 80% of the time I get a whole pie, it takes substantially longer than (read: double) what they estimate. Tonight was especially noteworthy because I had a hangry child in tow and the pizza wound up being especially delicious. I called in an order for pickup, and the guy casually told me "it'll be 10, 15, 20 minutes." First of all, what?! We showed up 20 minutes later. They told me it would be just 5 more minutes. 10 minutes later they told me it would be just 7 more minutes. And then I waited helplessly until I finally got it ~45 minutes after ordering. And of course it was fantastic, and of course I will do it again. That's not what this review is about.

It's irritating to see them struggling at what nearly every other restaurant has mastered. And it holds me back from giving full-throated endorsements to friends and family and google maps readers, which I would desperately love to do. I have to say "the pizza is wonderful, but they're kind of a mess in there."

Look, it doesn't have to be perfect; it's not fine dining. But if it were a little smoother, I could leave off the qualifications when I talk about the explosion of perfect flavors and flawless textures that are your margherita pizza with pepperoni...

Exceptional Pizza! Before coming to this place, Luigis was my favorite Pizza in New York City. But after today Brooklyn DOP took the #1 spot, and it wasn't even close.

The texture of the crust is just perfect. Crispy, airy and it also got a great color. The cheese and the tomato sauce seem to be of very high quality with a well balanced flavor profile.

I tried the Giusepp (NY Style) with and without pepperoni and the Bianca (White Pie) with mushrooms. The NY Style was my favorite. The Bianca was my first white pizza and I was pleasantly surprised.

They recommended to try the Pizza with Mike's Hot Honey and I really enjoyed the combination. There were also some other pizza toppings and a large selection of beverages.

The guy behind the counter was amazing, top notch service. It was just his second day working at this place, but if you ask me, he already deserves a raise.

There was indoor and outdoor seating available.

I'm glad I found this place through the One Bite/Barstools Sports review on Instagram. I will definitely come back to try the Margherita and the Grandma and Sicilian style slices. I can highly recommend you to give Brooklyn DOP a try and enjoy their pizza. Trust me, you won't be...

We finally got to try this pizza - Brooklyn DOP! It's a laid-back pizza joint that's perfect for a chill evening out. The ambiance is super relaxed, making it an excellent choice for a casual dinner with friends or a quick bite on your own. Plus, the price range is moderate, so you won't break the bank.

Their signature dish is, of course, their delicious pizza, and let me tell you, it's a must-try! I'm also obsessed with their pepperoni and broccoli pinwheels - they're scrumptious! What really sets Brooklyn DOP apart, though, is their beautiful outdoor seating area in their garden. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a slice (or two) on a nice day. Inside, the restaurant is super clean and cozy, with plenty of seating for a quick bite.

One thing to note is that the service could be better, but they busy and it was a Friday night. The highlights of this place are its very cool and laid-back feel, the freshness of their ingredients, and the full outdoor space. Whether you're in the mood for a relaxed dinner or just want to grab a slice and go, Brooklyn DOP is an excellent choice. So, if you're in the area, be sure to stop by and give it a try - your taste buds...
