About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for live music
The Brooklyn Firefly is a pizzeria restaurant, bar, jazz-blues-soul venue, and art space located in the heart of Bay Ridge.
This place is a hub for romantics, nostalgics, and lovers of pizza, music, and art. It is the culmination of years of living in and representing Bay Ridge by owner Michael McLeer- world renowned artist, graffiti writer, and musician.
Built as a gathering space and eatery for locals and visitors alike, the Firefly is a place to come to for a cold drink, a hot slice, a jazz set, and the love of Brooklyn. It specializes in artisanal pizza with a unique flair that plays on classic Italian ingredients. Specialty pies as well as custom pies. Small Italian fare- meatballs and rice balls crafted from homemade recipes, with simple desserts to boot. A selection of high quality drafts are available along with rotating local brews, and seasonal cocktails with an attitude.

    This place is hands-down the best place in Bay Ridge for all-around quality. Insanely good pizza of different varieties (I’ve tried about 75% of them and have never been disappointed in the slightest) and creative, refreshingly hip aesthetic. Five stars well-earned.

    The food was delicious (had arugula salad & pizza) however the server was disorganized and inattentive. I’d give it another try on a night that is less busy. The place was packed and I wanted to really love the whole experience.
