The Spotlight on Pizza Secret

Artisan Pizza and Italian Comfort Just Steps from the Action

Located in the heart of Brooklyn's Park Slope, Pizza Secret is a charming, laid-back Italian restaurant known for its Neapolitan-style pizza and cozy neighborhood vibe. Just a short walk from several popular concert venues, this inviting spot blends authentic Italian flavors with a casual, welcoming atmosphere. From the crackle of the wood-fired oven to the smell of fresh basil in the air, Pizza Secret offers a slice of Naples right in New York.

Why Concert-goers love it

Pizza Secret is a hit with the pre-show crowd thanks to its quick service and proximity to venues. Whether you're heading to a show at Barclays Center or a smaller local stage, you can grab a hot, fresh pizza and be on your way in no time. The restaurant has a lively yet relaxed ambiance, making it perfect for catching up with friends or fueling up solo before the music starts. Plus, the noise level stays comfortably low, so you can chat without shouting.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share a few pies before the headliner

  • Budget-conscious music fans who want great food without breaking the bank

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and Opentable rave about the authentic Neapolitan pizza, especially the margherita and diavola. The crust is praised as “perfectly blistered” and “beautifully chewy.” Many love the friendly service and say the staff “makes you feel like family.” The cozy interior and covered outdoor seating also get high marks, especially for those looking to enjoy a relaxed meal before a show.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that the space can feel a bit tight during peak hours, so larger groups might want to call ahead. Also, since it’s a popular neighborhood gem, it can fill up quickly—especially on concert nights—so plan for a possible short wait.

The Bottom Line

Pizza Secret is your go-to for fast, flavorful Italian fare in a warm, energetic setting—perfect for concert-goers looking to dine well and get to the venue on time.
