Are bar pies making a comeback?
When was the last time you enjoyed a bar-style pizza? Carmine and Son’s in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, serves up customizable, shareable bar pies with a wide range of toppings — including their standout tri-color pie, featuring pesto, vodka, and marinara sauces.
The shop has been family owned and operated for 45 years. It was originally called Ray’s Pizzeria when it was opened by Gaetano Gangone in 1979, before it was later renamed to Carmine and Son’s when Gaetano’s son Carmine took over the family business in 1992.
The shop doubles as a sports bar, making it ideal for large groups with plenty of seating and TVs for game nights. Its spacious setting offers a refreshing change from NYC’s typical tight-quartered grab-and-go slice shops. With its welcoming vibe and shareable menu, Carmine and Sons hits the perfect balance between casual and sit-down dining.
If you prioritize making your shop a place to hang out over a quick bite, you may attract big friend groups who will make your shop their new neighborhood hang out.
