Wheated

Husband-wife duo David Sheridan (Paulie Gee's) and Kim McAdam are behind this Ditmas Park pizza-and-cocktail joint, decorated with chrome chandeliers, reclaimed-cedar walls and papier-mâchéd, taxidermied deer heads. Born in the couple's backyard—Sheridan built an at-home brick dome oven in 2010—the 40-seat eatery specializes in thin-crust, Neapolitan-style rounds. While there's a Margherita to please purists, most toppings skew modern: The Red Hook features mortadella, sliced potato, thyme and crushed pistachios; the Sunset Park is covered in Mexican chorizo, kale and aged mozzarella. From the steel-and-wood bar come classic bourbon quaffs: a Manhattan, a Seelbach and a Boulevardier. Six draft beers—including Sixpoint Apollo Wheat and Victory Headwaters Pale Ale—and eight wines by the glass are also available.
