Fornino Greenpoint

Fornino’s Greenpoint outpost brings the long-running Brooklyn pizza name to Manhattan Avenue with a menu of wood-fired pies, salads, and wine. Guests use it as a sit-down option for classic and more composed pizzas like the Margherita Classica and Funghi Misti without leaving the neighborhood.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; can be competitive after 6pm on Manhattan Ave—look to side streets for better luck.
Dress code: Smart casual; jeans fine, but most guests lean slightly dressier for date nights.
Noise level: Moderate—easy enough for conversation, but weekend rooms can feel lively.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes without a reservation during peak hours.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; staffing and pace are relaxed.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple pies and salads are naturally vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited—crust and toppings aren’t geared vegan; customization possible but no dedicated vegan pies.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free dough; salads and starters available, but cross-contact likely.
Best For
Better for: Wine-paired, sit-down pizza with elevated toppings in a comfortable neighborhood dining room.
Skip if: You want quick slice-counter speed or budget-focused pizza—other Greenpoint slice shops fit better.
