I rarely get to have fun on weekdays [ed. note: um hello we always text, are you saying that’s not fun Abby Bean?!?!?], but last week I got to have lunch at the new, vegan pizzeria in Brooklyn: Screamers!!
Brought to you by the folks behind both Champ’s (love) and Philly’s Blackbird [ed. note: LOVE!], this true slice pizza joint is located at the former site of Champ’s Junior in Greenpoint.
Their website doesn’t
yet offer a whole hell of a lot of information, but I took a pic of
their awesome selections so that you can start dreaming of what slice
you’ll want to try first. It’s hella hard to read, so why don’t you just head on over and take my word for everything being awesome?
Because we’re professionals, my pal and I ordered 4 slices to share. The
woman who helped us was kind enough to cut each slice in two, which
saved us what surely would have been some messy embarrassment.
Pictured top right:
SUPREME: seitan pepperoni, bell peppers, seitan sausage, onion, tomato sauce, vegan cheese.
And WHITE: garlic oil, vegan cheese, almond ricotta, broccoli rabe, carmelized onions.
Pictured bottom left:
SCREAMERS: garlic oil, vegan cheese, cremini & oyster mushroom, parsley, almond parmesan.
And CLEAN SLIDE: long hot pesto, broccoli rabe, vegan cheese, seitan sausage, sesame seeds, tomato sauce.
Every bite delivered decadent pizza goodness, but I think the supreme
and white were my favorites so far. I’ve been dreaming about this pizza
ever since and I can’t wait to go back. Pro tip: ask them to heat your
slices extra long so that they’re burn-the-roof-of-your-mouth hot.
If
you’re lucky like us, you’ll meet an extremely friendly pooch outside;
this one was wearing a cutie purple bow and let me hug her.
If all this isn’t enough to convince you to run to Screamers, you should definitely follow them on Instagram in order to keep up with all of their drool-inducing shots.
