Paulie Gee’s owner opening Greenpoint slice shop this month
Paulie Giannone, owner of the beloved Greenpoint pizza shop Paulie Gee’s, is at long last opening a second location, Brooklyn Paper reported.
The idea for Paulie Gee’s Slice Shop was announced in 2016, but the community waited with baited breath for a grand opening to no avail. Now, after years of ongoing construction, Giannone says the spot will open at the end of the month.
Whereas the original Paulie Gee’s is all about artisan pizza — wood-fired pies with a smorgasbord of untraditional toppings, from Bing cherries to beef brisket — the Slice Shop is Giannone’s tribute to “the kind of place [he] grew up on.” Eat in, eat out, pay $3.50 for a slice of cheese under the 1960s-themed decor, complete with vintage Coca-Cola signs and an old-fashioned pizza oven.
