"Brooklyn is full of excellent pepperoni pies and pillowy square slices, but if your Friday pizza night is in need of a refresh, why not try a funky-shaped pork belly and bottarga-topped pizza under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway? At Farina, a Southern Italian restaurant on the border of Carroll Gardens and Red Hook, the “irregolare” pizzas are slightly heftier than a classic Neapolitan, smaller than regular pies, and topped with things like apricot jam, and mashed potatoes. After your quarterly Big Red Hook Excursion, head here for perfectly charred pies made with seven-grain flour, along with some house wine." - willa moore, bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang
