Fascati Pizza is a longtime Brooklyn Heights counter spot where locals grab foldable Napolitana slices and pan pies before heading home or back to the promenade. The room is basic and narrow, but the focus is on consistent slices with light char and a slightly sweet sauce. It’s a late-evening neighborhood standby when you want classic Heights pizza without fanfare.

Insider tip: Bring cash as backup; card minimums sometimes apply for small orders.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on Henry and surrounding blocks can be tight after 6pm; meters open up later in the evening but expect a short walk.
Dress code: Casual and low-key — neighborhood pizza attire like jeans, tees, and hoodies fits right in.
Noise level: Moderate during peak hours with steady counter traffic; conversations are easy once the post-dinner rush tapers off.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes for slices or a fresh pie during peak Heights foot traffic.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, with slices ready to go.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — cheese slices, plain pies, and veggie-topped pan pies are common.
Vegan options: Limited — no vegan cheese, but plain sauce-only slices or veggie toppings are possible.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free crust or separate prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a sit-down date — it’s more of a grab-and-go neighborhood slice spot. Works better as a casual stop during a low-pressure walk around Brooklyn Heights.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no reservations; seating is limited and mostly counter-style. Expect to stand or take slices to go during busy times.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — families stop in frequently. Simple menu, fast service, and foldable slices make it easy for kids, though seating is minimal.
Best For
Better for: Quick, classic New York slices at budget-friendly prices without DUMBO-level crowds or waits.
Skip if: You want coal-fired, destination-style pizza or a sit-down environment — Juliana’s or Grimaldi’s are better fits for that.
