Two pieces of good news from Emily Pizza on Fulton in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.
First: their fabulous dry-aged burger (yes, it costs $19) seems to have a permanent spot on the lunch menu. It used to be served only at dinner. This is one of the best in the city. The meat is fresh and flavorful and perfectly cooked. The aged cheddar is melted so it drips over the sides. The bun is the perfect size, shape and consistency: not too much bread. The special sauce is spicy and quite good. It comes with cornichons. Fries are decent, though a little bit too thick and a little too brown for my taste.
Second: they are making their pizza dough thinner. The toppings have always been among the best in the city: top-shelf olives, pepperoni, fresh mushrooms (on my favorite, The Wrestler) but the crust used to be too doughy, especially in the center. It was impossible to eat all it, so you moved the toppings towards the edges of the crust. No need to do that anymore. We were able to each eat half a pizza and half a burger. This is a great combo, especially with the nice Pilsner they have on tap.
Grade: A+
