Brooklyn's casual slice joint w/ a suburban vibe & unique pies like the "Freddie Prinze" Sicilian. Great for a relaxed bite or drinks.
Arden Shore reviews Paulie Gee's Slice Shop, a charming Brooklyn spot with a casual vibe perfect for pizza lovers, highlighting its unique "Freddie Prinze" slice and lively atmosphere.
Paulie Gee's Slice Shop offers a relaxed, suburban-pizza-parlor vibe in Brooklyn, making it a great casual spot. While not aiming for destination status, it provides a comfortable dine-in experience with TVs, music, and a selection of beer and wine. The pizza, though sometimes criticized for a thick crust or bland sauce, generally receives positive feedback, with unique options like the "Freddie Prinze" Sicilian slice being a standout. It's a solid neighborhood choice for pizza lovers, though some recent reviews suggest a potential decline in quality.
The restaurant serves classic New York-style and square pizza slices, with a particular highlight being the upside-down Sicilian slice known as the "Freddie Prinze." Vegan options are available, including a vegan Vidalia Sicilian pizza. While some rave about specific slices like the "Hellboy" and "Hellboy Squared," others find the plain cheese slice bland and some have noted a decline in overall quality.
"The 'Freddie Prinze' Sicilian slice, described as an upside-down slice with a sesame seed crust, is frequently highlighted as a must-try. The 'Hellboy' and 'Hellboy Squared' slices are also recommended for their spicy, pepperoni-laden profiles. Vegan options are also available."
Customer feedback is mixed, with some praising it as "proof of a loving god" and others finding it to be a "middle-of-the-road slice" or noting a decline in quality over time.
