Peter Pizza

When two people are in love, they never want to be apart. The same holds true when an astronaut loves a pizza—just ask space explorer Garrett Reisman, who allegedly once traveled deep into the starry sky with a slice of Peter Pizza by his side. While it's hard to prove the validity of this tale, it's at the very least easy to assume that the borough's favorite astronaut—who's explicit about his love for Peter Pizza—fueled up on triangles when he returned to Brooklyn for NASA's Hometown Heroes 2008 campaign.

With signature pies such as the Sophia Loren, whose fresh mozzarella, garlic, and tomatoes blanket a sesame seed crust, plus a large selection of savory pasta dishes, wraps, and hero sandwiches, Peter Pizza both satisfies and inspires cravings for classic Italian flavors. In addition to dine-in and carryout, the shop offers local delivery free of charge.
