• Pizzeria • Park Slope

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 by Matt Hyland and a top-notch spicy fried chicken sandwich)! Did we mention 'Emmy' is the nickname of Emily Hyland? Full service bar, local NYC beers & great 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. Thank you :)

The restaurant is exquisite and the service was fabulous. I highly recommend the breads & spreads, jibineh cheese, mushrooms, beets and eggplant to start. The octopus & steak skewers, the shish barak, the chicken and spaghetti. We had the cheesecake, baklava, and tiramisu. All ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My friends and I found this place randomly after a concert one evening and we have gone back several times. Each time it has been such a good vibe and there is always delicious Greek food. The Sangrita is so refreshing and perfectly blended. The appetizer we always get is the Guac which comes with fried pita and pomegranate seeds topped with feta crumbles. Highly recommend this place. The staff was super accommodating as well. I look forward to coming back!

I booked one of parklife’s solariums for a birthday party and it was the perfect spot- warm enough, even on a very cold December night, and a private comfortable space with good service. Uniquely good for large groups!
