Paulie Gee's Opening Today in Greenpoint

Paul Ginnone, a man Serious Eats calls the consummate pizza lover,” opens the eponymous Paulie Gee’s this week at 60 Greenpoint Avenue. Taking over the space of the old Paloma, Paulie Gee’s will put out authentic wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza and utilize fresh local ingredients from Rooftop Farms. The rustic and welcoming space (check out the interior photo on the jump) features handcrafted woodwork throughout with the imported hearth as its anchor. Designed by hOmE, the same team behind the Manhattan Inn and Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream Café, the bar will be fully operational in short order. The menu? To start, Ginnone will offer about eight standard pies and a couple of specialty pies to change in accordance with local ingredient availability. While Paulie will never put pepperoni on his pizzas, he will garnish them with soppressata, prosciutto di Parma, guanciale, speck, even Kale. He’ll pull the first official pie from the oven at 5PM Tuesday. Check out some of Paulie’s pizza pics here. GMAP
