Frankie’s Brooklyn Pizza
The front of Frankie’s Brooklyn Pizza is a stripped-back reinterpretation of the classic slice shop — raw, rhythmic, and built for the pace of the city. Red metal, white oak, and matte tile form a palette that feels honest and unprecious.
No perfect lines, no staged symmetry — just the quiet irregularity of things made by hand. It’s a space that respects the craft without romanticizing it. Fast, functional, and deeply textural — a modern tribute to tradition, one slice at a time.

Tucked behind the fast pace of the slice shop, the back room at Frankie’s Brooklyn Pizza reveals a slower rhythm — a wine restaurant that recalls the origins of pizza served behind old neighborhood grocery stores. Lined with shelves of olive oil, tomatoes, and bottles of red, the space feels both storied and curated. Textural terrazzo, warm oak, and soft leather banquettes invite pause.
Overhead, looping neon adds a quiet drama, casting a glow over walls layered in ceramic plates and pantry goods. It’s a space of contrast — everyday ingredients elevated, utility made beautiful. A room for lingering. For wine. For what comes after the slice.
