"From the team behind Frankies 457 Spuntino, F&F is a counter-service slice shop located in a converted garage, cranking out the most buttery clam pies we’ve ever encountered. But even the plain slice is noteworthy—the crust is crispy, the sauce is incredible, and the cheese tastes like it was just delivered by a friendly dairy farmer hours before being baked. There’s a nice sidewalk patio out front where you can stare lovingly at your half-finished slice, and wonder how many of the world’s problems could be solved by bringing together a few people who treat bread like a vitamin." - neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman

"A second location of the Carroll Gardens pizzeria, announced as one of the confirmed food-stall/restaurateur presences inside the new hall." - Nadia Chaudhury
"New York has never truly celebrated clam pizza with the same fervor as New Haven, but make no mistake, F&F has created one of the great bivalve slices of our era in Carroll Gardens. There’s nothing fancy happening here, just good chopped clams, breadcrumbs, a lot of garlic, and mozzarella. Connecticut pizza makers like to omit the mozzarella, but it adds a wonderful stretch and saltiness to the slice, while the clams add a wicked undercurrent of brine and oceanic aroma. The team recently converted their next-door wine bar into a sit-down restaurant with pizza." - Emma Orlow
"F&F Pizzeria is a Carroll Gardens slice shop in a converted garage from the team behind Frankies 457 Spuntino, and we go back and forth on our favorite slice here. It’s either the hot sausage and brown butter sage, or the clam, which is really more about the garlic butter than the clams themselves. The pizza feels equal parts utilitarian and special—pick up a slice for a quick snack in the sprawling backyard, or order a few pies and have a wine-fueled pizza party." - willa moore, bryan kim, neha talreja, arden shore
