LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. (KABC) — On the search for sensational slices of pizza, your submission sent us to New York.<\/p>\n

Okay, not quite, because you can find the same flavor at Brooklyn City Pizzeria and Market<\/a> in Laguna Niguel.<\/p>\n

“It’s really about creating the sense of community,” owner Gus Floris said. “Everybody that walks through the door, we want to feel like they’re walking into our house.”<\/p>\n

His wife, owner Margie Floris, said they’ve received unbelievable support from the community after starting their home pizza business during COVID.<\/p>\n

Just this month, the Florises, who are originally from Brooklyn, celebrated four years of serving their South Orange County community in their brick and mortar location.<\/p>\n

Pizza that breaks the bank? They say “fuhgetabboutit!”<\/p>\n

For $10, you can get two slices and a drink with their daily special. One slice is between $4 and $5, depending on the pie.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of pizzas to choose from, with cheese and pepperoni as top sellers. Veggie and specialty options, too, and a Sicilian pizza with a thicker crust.<\/p>\n

Their calzones are delicious, and customers crave the Calabrian honey bomb wings, Caprese salads, chicken parm, and cheesecake, too.<\/p>\n

“Okay, there have been a lot of conversations had about this cheesecake, so…” ABC7’s Rachel Brown begins.<\/p>\n

“Uncle Billy’s cheesecake,” Gus said.<\/p>\n

This Brooklyn City Pizzeria, now a pillar of the OC community.<\/p>\n

“It’s always been about a love of food, you know, and cooking and entertaining for us,” Gus said.<\/p>\n

“We really do come in with so much love in our heart every day. And I think that transcends into how people feel when they’re here,” Margie added.<\/p>\n

The restaurant opens at 11 a.m. Tuesday through Sunday, and is closed Monday.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn City Pizzeria and Market is at 30012 Crown Valley Pkwy, Suite I, in Laguna Niguel.<\/p>\n
