I enjoyed my time at the Brooklyn Firefly mainly because it wasn't that many people the music was absolutely fabulous. And the atmosphere is a mixture of vintage and rustic with some Brooklyn charm. The pizzas are well made and the service is quick. My daughter absolutely loved the root beer float with vanilla ice cream!
This place is beautiful. Its not everyday we find a place great for a fun night out right in the middle of Bay Ridge Brooklyn. A beautiful place for live music, date night or friend night or group night. My husband and I are so impressed by what they have to offer and the ambiance. We order our food for a romantic night at home once a month we dont feel like cooking and we love to treat ourselves to Firefly. First off every single pizza you get- is spot on. Dont even consider not liking it even if its ingredients you arent used to. The high quality and out of this world taste of the combinations on every pizza will WOW you. You quite literally cannot go wrong. They have respect for their food thats why its like this. Beautiful! The rice balls as well are delicious. Big luxurious rice balls with a crispy outside and a melt in your mouth inside. We tried the spinach mushroom and my husband who hates mushrooms loved it. Im telling you you cannot go wrong w this place. On the side is a lucious pesto ricotta. Ricotta never tasted so girl and this is coming from someone whos mom cooked lasagna every weekend. The pic on uber has and uber said firefly submitted the pic had sauce but this didnt ...but eh it is what it is. So what lol The only thing Id say we were laughing a little about was the meatball. Its 14 dollars, not giant as advertised, almost no mozzerela in it even though its advertised to be oozing out of it, and its more of a 3 dollar meatball in foodtown. We were laughing lol. The pizza is expensive 30 a pie but worth it! Gourmet pizza! But this meatball was missing its insides for 14 it was quite the joke of the night. Other than that amazing. Dont order uber cause it gets cold quick but if you are picking up or dining in this is your place! Beautiful!
Delicious pizzas . The personal is a good portion. If you have a small appetite you can share if you have a big one it's perfect size tried the 86 and buffalo pizza both were delicious!!Food: 5/5
I stopped by The Brooklyn Firefly for the first time today because I heard so many great things about this place....And of course what I heard was right. I ordered the personal pizza called "The Lord of Brooklyn" and it was so flavorful and the sauce had such a nice taste. My Margarita Italiano also hit the spot as well. The restaurant is clean, the service was fast and the waitstaff was attentive. I will definitely come back in the future.
I used to love Lento’s pizza. Which was originally on this spot. Ordered the “Lento’s Ghost” and was super-excited to try a pie I hadn’t had in over 30 years. Super thin like the original? No. Crunchy, like the original? No. You can’t go home again. Sadly. At least for the pizza. The ambiance is terrific.
All i can is wow. We ordered the shrooms pie and the meatballs 3 pieces. Very impressed. The service was great, the pizza was in the middle between brick oven and your regular slice of pizza. The prices were reasonable, fast service food came out right away, no words give it a try.
The atmosphere, vibes and staff were great. However, ordered 2 vegan pies and they tasted like there was not one pinch of seasoning on it at all.. I wish I was exaggerating but it tasted like cardboard. Like everything was never seasoned, frozen and thrown in an oven then served. This was actually the most bland food I’ve ever had in my life. And it was so expensive too. A child can cook better and remember seasoning.
Honestly, I used to think the trope 'the best pizza in nyc is definitely somewhere in Brooklyn, but you gotta find it' is pretty cliche and admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of pizza or Italian food in general since I get heartburn just by looking at the tomato sauce, a result from working at an Italian joint in the past + having free lunches there for 2 straight years, yeah lucky me! So when I was in town visiting my pal he insisted taking me to this place and boy, I stood corrected the moment I had the first bite. This place changes my view on pizza forever and I'd continue to sing praises and recommend Firefly to everyone if we've had a chance to cross the border to come down for a visit again and soon, hopefully!. Bonuses: rustic vibe, great service and prices are on point!
Really atmosphere and love their pizza. Really nice staff and service. My daughter and I loved it
We had a lovely time at their Halloween pumpkin carving event. Thank you for a good time!Food: 3/5
