While new pizza joints have proliferated in North Brooklyn, one mainstay just celebrated its 20th anniversary. Fornino (849 Manhattan Ave.), a local pizza spot founded by Brooklyn native Chef Michael Ayoub, has served pizza and Italian cuisine to North Brooklyn for two decades. Chef Ayoub opened Fornino, named after his mother, in Williamsburg and then moved the restaurant to Greenpoint in 2013. It now has two other locations in Brooklyn.
To honor this milestone, Fornino threw a party this week, “marking two decades of unforgettable moments, mouthwatering pizza, and a strong sense of community,” Fornino wrote on Instagram. The celebration, which Fornino dubbed the 20 Pie Celebratory Dinner, took place on Tuesday, October 22 and featured a curated tasting of 20 unique wood-fired Neapolitan pies that each represented a chapter of Fornino’s 20-year history.
