Brooklyn Pizza & Cafe Nashville

Was skeptical about this place. Not really a pizza parlor type place. But dang, pizza is good! Bottled drinks only.

I've been on a quest to find the best pizza in Nashville, so once a week I go into a place that serves pizza and simply order a cheese pizza. My thinking is if they can make a BOMB cheese pizza then they have a good pizza. "Is it, or isn't it Brooklyn Pizza?" The name of this place is "Brooklyn Pizza & Cafe". Let me just say this. There isn't much that screams "Brooklyn" or "Cafe" here. As a matter of fact I kinda feel like it's a "front" for an entirely separate restaurant concept. Which I find kinda funny. Walking in you'll see pretty standard decor of a pizzeria In Nashville. Neon signs, plastic fake brick, some pizza paddles on the wall, and a single New York skyline portrait. Behind the counter you're met with about 5 dudes all speaking some form of Russian or Uzbekistan. 2 of which was stirring 2 massive cauldrons, and no they're not brewing potions or making pizza sauce. The cooking up delicious food. Inside the cauldrons was lamb, rice, carrots, chickpeas, and spices. It smelled heavenly so I asked if i could purchase some in addition to my cheese pizza. $13.99 for the lamb and rice. Apparently every Friday they cook this hidden menu item. It's a MUST TRY! Let's get to the pizza. The pizza itself was pretty good. I even drove 10 minutes out of my way just to give you guys a shot. Generous amount of cheese. Definitely good quality. Generous amount of sauce. Definitely taste that it's made from real tomatoes and not just a paste. The dough was fluffy and had absolutely no cornmeal which is always a good sign. All in all this was damn good pizza. Unfortunately not the best I've had but it's up there with the best. $13.99 for a LG Cheese. Best pizza per price goes to you guys though. Lastly, some irony. They have the mask mandated notice on the door, but none of the men preparing the food had masks on. Nashville Pizza Guide
