Table 87 / Eighty-Seven Next Door

Since 2013, Table 87 has anchored Gowanus with coal-fired pizza that draws a loyal following—expect a line out the door and a crust with that distinctive char. It's a neighborhood staple that expanded from its original location to this second spot, bringing authentic Italian-American flavors to the heart of Brooklyn. The adjacent Eighty-Seven Next Door, fully renovated, serves as a craft cocktail and pizza bar with a fresh, modern look. Together they offer both signature pies and a rotating lineup of seasonal drinks, from small bites to entrees and calzones. Reviewers call out the cozy, romantic vibe for dates and the welcoming, effortless atmosphere, though the space can feel tight for large groups. Whether you stop in for a slice or settle into bar seating for a conversation, the combination of coal-fired crust, polished service, and warm ambiance makes it an easy favorite.
