Paulie Gee's – Italian
Step into a dimly lit, rustic sanctuary where the amber glow of a massive wood-fired oven dances across reclaimed timber and vintage accents. The air is thick with the intoxicating scent of charred dough and bubbling mozzarella as artisanal pizzas emerge with perfectly blistered crusts and bold, creative toppings that masterfully balance sweet, spicy, and savory notes. It is a soulful neighborhood destination that marries industrial-chic aesthetics with a warm, communal energy, inviting diners to linger over every smoky, hand-crafted bite.

What diners are saying
Celebrated for its exceptional wood-fired, Neapolitan-style pizzas, this spot consistently blows diners away with both traditional and vegan options. Guests rave about the "Hellboy" pie—a perfect mix of sweet and spicy—and highlight the impressive variety of vegan toppings, particularly the flavorful fennel sausage and mock meats. The atmosphere is described as chill and welcoming, with friendly service that makes it an ideal destination for groups or a casual night out. While the famous dessert seen on Jimmy Kimmel is a must-try, the consensus is clear: focus on the incredible pies.
