Graziella's, Clinton Hill

Address: 232 Vanderbilt Avenue between Dekalb and Willoughby
Purchase: 1 Arugula and Parmesan Pizza, 1 Pizza Italia, 1 Six Point Brown Draft
Cost: $40 including tip (12" pizzas $10-15)
Payment: Cards accepted
Pizza Rating:


With super friendly service, a happy and diverse clientèle, reasonable prices, and wood-burning brick oven pizza, Graziella's made for a nice Friday night out. I tried the arugula and shaved parmesan pizza, which was piled with a generous serving of fresh arugula and tangy parmesan over a regular pizza margherita, (and made me feel guilt-free about not ordering a separate salad). AJ had the Pizza Italia, with mozzarella, chopped cherry tomatoes, and a pesto swirl. My one complaint was that the crust was a little flat and singed around the edges, not as bubbly and light as it could have been. However, their draft list was quite nice for an Italian joint, and I enjoyed watching the pizzaiolo at his oven. Considering it's in Clinton Hill, there's a good chance we'll be back.

First bite!


They also have adorable rooftop seating October-May.


We headed down Dekalb for take-out cheesecake from Junior's afterwards. Yum!
