• Pizzeria • Williamsburg

Emmy Squared has earned a following for its signature Detroit-style pies. The pizza here is rectangular and utilizes the "frico" technique, in which cheese is drizzled on the edges of the pie to create a crispy, cheesy crust. Beyond pizza, the menu includes salads and sandwiches, which shouldn't be ignored (think an attention-grabbing burger and a top-notch spicy fried chicken sandwich)! Did we mention this is Emmy Squared’s ORIGINAL location? Full service bar, local drafts & wine selection. Please note, there will be a time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes for guests so we can fairly utilize our limited capacity. Our outdoor dining is enclosed with heaters that will keep you toasty! Thank you :).

Hannah was amazing! Although we were the only one’s in the restaurant for most of our dining, She spent so much time socializing with my daughter and I, chatting about similar interests and their love for Sanrio, dolls, and Art. She was super friendly and helpful! We could tell she goes out of her way to ensure her guests enjoy their time visiting. My daughter enjoyed it!
