Master Critic Review
Emily
8.6
A Clinton Hill original that earns its reputation on two lanes: Detroit-leaning pizza with a caramelized edge and a serious burger program that still feels restaurant-first. Go with a tight, shareable order and let the kitchen’s savory, browned-cheese strengths do the talking.

Emmy Burger, Colony Pizza, Housemade Pretzel with Beer Cheese
