Participating Restaurants:
Straight outta Brooklyn

Style of Pizza: New York style
The “New York Pizza” dates back to 1905 when Gennaro Lombardi, an immigrant pizzaiolo from Naples, began to serve pizza in his Little Italy grocery store. Lombardi created a unique pizza style similar to that from the old country. He still focused on a thin crust and high quality ingredients, but his pizzas were served ‘to go’ and ‘by the slice’. His influence led to the emergence of Italian American Pizzaiolos who began to make quality slices all over the immigrant neighbourhoods in Brooklyn. To this day, Brooklyn is renowned for having New York’s best pizza. Our aim is to bring a little New York to Vancouver by giving you an experience that is straight outta Brooklyn…

Using gourmet ingredients such as buffalo mozzarella, prosciutto and eggplant marmellata to create decadent and mouth-watering pizzas, ZeroZero is the perfect place to come for lunch or dinner if you want to enjoy a traditional taste of Rome right here in Vancouver.
