Finally made it to Paulie Gee’s in Greenpoint and am happy to say it’s totally worth the hype—and the schlep. First, the pies have cool names, like King Harry III, Cherry Jones and Anise and Anephew. Second, they taste damn good: Neapolitan style with a chewy, charred crust. It’s also a comfy space: rustic, with nice lighting. But back to the pies. Try the Hellboy with Mike’s Hot Honey. You think spicy honey sounds weird? Me too. But it’s yummy. Mike happened to be bartending the night we were there; buy a $6 bottle of the sticky stuff from him. (You can also get it online.)
Go to Paulie Gee’s, stuff your face, experience hot honey, thank me later.
