When Paulie Gee opened his place in Greenpoint, he said that he wanted to create a place where people could go to relax, and have a good time with their friends. In my opinion he succeeded admirably, and so after our first visit I wanted to return with more friends. I invited Jess & Garrett of We Heart New York, and we had a great night. Paulie Gee recommended the Rooftop E&O (pictured above), made with baby kale he had just received from Rooftop Farm. The kale was crispy and drenched in olive oil, sitting atop the cheese and the perfectly chewy, charred crust. We also splurged on a dessert pie — pear and nutella — which took a long time to arrive at our table but was well worth the wait. The main thing was enjoying the company of friends; the excellent pizza was just icing on the cake.
