History

Established in 2007.

We went into Willimasburg on a suggestion from a friend in telling us it was a very COOL place. In looking we found this spot on Grand Street we got this great feeling when looking @ this empty space which was used as a Dance Studio.

2 weeks later the lease was signed and we called in family and friends to demo the place it was sooo much FUN to do in knowing what it would become it was truly our dream coming true to build a business from nothing and not knowing if it would go south or not… every day is a challenge and an obstacle however we would not change it for anything… we love the friends, the people, and the neighborhood on a whole.

Meet the Manager

Trisha P.

Manager

We came to Williamsburg with a dream to open our own business that would deliver a great product but not lose sight of the people in the neighborhood we wanted to not only have the BEST PIZZA but we prided ourselves on SERVICE. Our food is made with recipes which have been handed down from generation to generation. Anything that we have on our menu has been thought out and made fresh daily.

Our customers are great we have made so many great friends in opening our business we would not change any of it.

Awesome Rigatoni Ala Vodka…
Try there regular slice. real classic taste
Then stay for Pinball. I had played a round with the owner, real nice guy.
Tough neighborhood for a pizzeria, mostly dive bars and hipsters.
Parking isn’t to bad, very cool place to walk around and take pictures.
Artsy atmosphere.

Owner was too busy counting his money to sell me a slice, perhaps he’s in the wrong line of business.

This place used to be really good, then about a year or so ago, they changed some ingredients. We usually order the Pizza Joint Favorite. It is advertised to have portabello mushrooms, but it comes with cheap regular mushrooms instead. The peppers used to be big and fresh, now they are small and bland. The fresh mozzarella isn’t as fresh as it used to be and they skimp on the tomato sauce.
On the menu it advertises free garlic knots but when I asked for them, I was refused. You’d think for ordering a $ 24 pizza they could stick to what their menu says. I am sure the cost of a few garlic knots is not going to kill them. In fact, it irks me to see places do stuff like that. They were especially rude about it on the phone too.
It’s a shame that they’ve started to skimp and play advertising games, I used to really like this place, but now they have lost a customer.

Back in April 2011 this place rocked. Now the owner has decided that you have to buy pizza in order to play pinball. Personally, I don’t agree with that decision but furthermore he has harassed several people I know. I am embarrassed to have ever stepped into the place and would NEVER go there again.
Sorry, Vito but you are acting like a sociopath. I suggest you change your take on customer service, but even then you are already doomed.

Don’t let the lights and cameras fools ya– this pizza is in between chuck e cheese and discovery zone. I thought this place was going to be THE PIMP, but it was not.
Also, it’s gotten worse. 3 years ago it was a decent slice. I have noticed a steady decline into the doldrums of slicehood. I didnt even finish the slice.
2 stars just becuase it might be some cool Albanian mob front and then they are allowed to have bad pizza.
They got some pinball machines up in here, and lemme tell YOU that this slice is on some TILT SHIT!

Granted it was 2AM and the only place that was still delivering. But what showed up was an absolute joke.
Apparently pizza is not a thing they take pride in at Fratelli Brick Pizza Point. When we opened the box we were shown a pizza with literally NO SAUCE OR CHEESE, NONE. We ordered a sausage and pepperoni pizza and it was exactly that, and something that the manager or owner whoever I talked to on the phone said, «That’s your fault. Did you think you could get a pepperoni, sausage and cheese pizza for 15 bucks, are you kidding?»
This was his response to a customer calmly calling to ask why we had been given a pizza where the meat wasn’t even able to stay on because it HAD NOTHING TO STICK TO.
Anyway, beyond being told that I needed to know that I had to order cheese and sauce when I ordered from them I was hung up on. So nothing much to say here other than the pizza sucks, the manager is off putting to say the least, and I will never be ordering another pizza from them.
Oh, and we ate a slice of the bread with meat on it and the bread with meat on it was hard and chewy somehow and not in a good way, so pretty much inedible. A total waste of 20 bucks.

This is just my biased opinion and has nothing to do with the food:
Believe the one star reviews. This place is making poor business decisions and does not understand the meaning of being a fixture or destination for the community. You think local coffee shops say sorry no Wi-​Fi unless you buy x number products/​coffees? It’s part of what draws people into their place.
I understand laying some ground rules for those under the age of 18, but really anyone above that should not be treated like a child.
So I walked in, zero people in this place. DEAD. No pizzas in the oven, no deliveries. NOTHING. It was also raining so even more reason no one was out.
When I walked in and asked how everything worked, as I had read some of the bad reviews but figured I would not be one of them. I was basically asked HOW MANY PIZZAS I would be buying, not HOW MANY SLICES, but how many pizzas. As if the number of pizzas I bought equated to how many games or how long I could play pinball. I was at first a bit surprised, but asked if I could buy a slice of pizza, and as I had other people in my party was basically told no and that only those who bought pizza could stay.
Someone in my party was ready to just give the guy a $ 100 bill because he was annoyed by the situation, but we figured why give this place any business. And so that’s all I can say to others. If you want to experience an environment where you might leave feeling like a reprimanded child, then stop by this place.
To the manager, remove your pinball machines. Save yourself the headaches.
My Advice:
Goto Satelite Lounge (
) or Barcade (
). Both are busy (meaning they’re doing something right). And they’re both walking distance. Here’s a map: (
Point A is Fratelli’s, Point B Satellite Lounge, Point C Barcade

DO NOT GO TO FRATELLI’S, THEY ARE RUDE AND THE PIZZA IS GARBAGE!!!
Fratelli’s is a disgraceful establishment. The pizza is the worst in Williamsburg, hands down. It’s the type of slice you get when you go to the crappy dollar slice places all over Manhattan.
What’s worse tho is the owner, who is such a miserable person. He is very uncourteous and genuinely a sad individual. You think a pizza place that has half the store as a pinball arcade would welcome any business, especially since they are completely dead everyday (pizza sucks, remember?). Nope. He went out of his way to leap over the counter and ask us to purchase food in order to play his pinball machines.
Word to the wise, DO NOT GO TO FRATELLI’S.
You want great pizza, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere, head to La Nona. That place rules!

The only brick is the old dude making the «pizza».
Pizza – horrible – tastes like cardboard with processsed cheese. Where’s the brick oven?
The old guy is nasty & surly with customers. Yelled at us for asking for quarters for their 10+ machines. (This isn’t an arcade! – um yes it is with 10+ machines). When we decided to use a dollar bill the young guy behind the counter said – if you put that money in there I’ll turn off the electricity! Seriously? I’ve eaten several times at this place (convenience more than anything) so what’s the deal. I’ll never go back, and plan on reporting them to the zoning board for running an arcade (or bookie joint – because clearly they don’t want customers.).

I came for the pinball and thought I’d stay for the pizza… but I never got around to trying the pie. They wouldn’t give me change until I bought something. «We’re a pizza place not an arcade,» the guy said. Half the establishment is lined with pinball machines. It’s like going into an arcade and having them say you can’t play until you buy a candy bar.
In a town where you can’t breathe without huffing pizza dough… I’ll go to any of the other 20 pizza joints in a 3 block radius.
If you don’t want people coming to your place to play pinball… don’t fill it with pinball machines.

I live a couple buildings down from here so I pop in pretty often to grab a pie. The owner is a sweetheart and works here everyday from open until close– definitely an establishment you wanna support. Love their sicilian! Also their heros are huge and under 7 bucks!
PS– It’s now catering to the hipster’s waking hours by opening later in the day and not closing untill 4 am with delivery until 3:30. pretty amazing considering no pizza jts in this hood deliver late night.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! Well I can promise not to give Fratelli a 3rd chance. I can heat up a Tombstone in my oven that can compete with their pizza. I should have known better based on the fact that the place is always empty :(

This place is great. I can only vouch for deliver, which can be slow, but the food is so worth it. The sausage specialty pizza is so tasty and has a great crust. It’s really light and fresh tasting. The penne vodka is excellent, tasty and al dente. I’ve never been to the actual restuarant, so I can’t say anything about it. I just hope it’s clean or I don’t want to know!

This is my favorite pizza place in NYC. With a limited menu of specialty pizzas, this place nails it with everything. On the down side, things are pricey (but worth it!).
They stick do basics, and bang the hell outta them. For example, my favorite is probably the Fratelli’s Favorite with plum tomatoes, strip sausage, fresh mozzzz, and shrooms. Its the greatest and dankest.

This was quality NY pizza. We live a few blocks away and will probably be going here often. It is a good alternative to Vinny’s and definitely is not as crowded as some of the other places in the area. We got fast service and were out of there 15 minutes after ordering our pizza.
The quality of the pizza was average to above average for NYC, which means it is delicious. Definitely give the place a try if you’re looking for pizza in Williamsburg.

«there’s good food deep in Occupied Williamsburg? who knew?!»
pizza is to me what spinach is to Popeye. in conjunction with a few beers at the Brooklyn Brewery, I loudly proclaimed that «I will fight my weight in hipsters and win the goddamn fight».
ordered from here the other night while at the Brewery. my friends ordered the pie which has tomato chunks on it. I demolished two slices in a display of ferocity that both frightened and amused my friend Emily. I guess seeing this Brooklyn native eat pizza is akin to watching feeding time at the zoo.
anywho.
Fratelli’s pizza is a bit different from Your Stereotypical Standard New York Pizza — not as greasy, and the cheese was a bit creamier. there wasn’t a lot of sauce, so I was kind of let down, but the tomato chunks on top compensated. the dough was perfect — not raw and not singed — and the crust was thin but not unmanageable.
the pie was $ 20 — not bad.
jawesome stuff.

Gross.
Should have known better when we walked in to an empty pizzeria at 6pm. But I listened to the Unilocal-ers…one of the only times you have let me down. I didn’t even dare to try the pizza slices as they all looked like cold gelatinous misery. Went for the garlic knots and sausage calizone… nothing remotely worth mentioning. I was able to eat it, but my wife couldn’t.

The vodka pizza literally melts in your mouth — definitely worth the trip from Manhattan — I tell everyone I know to go to Fratelli.
