Pizza Tropical
7.7
Collaboration between Brooklyn's Best Pizza owner and Gramps bar serves respectable NY-style slices from a Cuban-style ventanita window on a dive bar patio. The weekday lunch deal of two slices and a drink makes it a neighborhood standby. Quality can vary, but the setting—grabbing pizza while friends drink on the patio—captures the Wynwood vibe.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, for a casual/fun date - it's a pizza window inside a lively bar with a bohemian tropical patio. Perfect for grabbing slices while drinking and enjoying the Wynwood nightlife vibe. Not intimate, but memorable.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes - it's a walk-up pizza window, no reservations. The bar (Gramps) has patio seating on a first-come basis. Open late (until 1-3am depending on the night).
Is it kid-friendly? No - Pizza Tropical operates inside Gramps Bar, which is primarily a bar venue with DJs, live music, and drag events. Contact them directly about daytime policies, but this is best suited for adults.
Is it good for groups? Yes - the outdoor patio at Gramps is spacious and casual, perfect for groups grabbing slices between drinks. Order 20-inch pies to share. No formal reservations needed.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes - the pizza window opens onto Gramps' bohemian tropical outdoor patio. All seating is essentially outdoors in the bar's backyard area.
