Matthew and Emily Hyland opened this popular borrough pizzeria this year serving up what they call “New Brooklyn” style, a doughier sibling to a Neapolitan pizza. The pizza 
menu is broken down by sauce — The Reds, The Whites, The Pink and The Green. Signature pies include The Colony (red sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, pickled chili and honey), Emily (mozzarella, pistachios, truffle sottocenere and honey) and the Vodka (vodka sauce made with Surryano ham, mozzarella, parsley). Topping off dinner is the attention-grabbing S’mores Calzone. Emily hosts pizza-making workshops once a month on Saturday afternoons.

Named after the old pharmacy where the pizzeria now resides, Transfer has an ideal corner spot, a hub for its intersecting streets. It’s also developed quite the following for its live jazz nights. The pizza menu is extensive and is filled with traditional, garlic, veggie, seafood and specialty pizzas. The garlic section has eight pies that feature Transfer’s signature garlic cream sauce, like the Garlic Special with sausage and mushrooms or the Roasted Potato Chicken. The pizzeria also promotes its gluten-free pizzas and beer from local providers.
