REVIEW: 
Psst...Delicious...pass it on. Pizza Secret may be new to Park Slope, Brooklyn, but the family recipes behind it are anything but.  Owner and head chef Rosario Granieri, like his father and grandfather before him, wants to spread his love for authentic Napoletana pizza-making to as many people as possible. Love - that's the "secret" ingredient. Having cut his teeth in Naples and perfected his trade at Eataly's Rossopomodoro, Granieri's opening of Pizza Secret is his magnum opus.  Nestled between 5th and St. Marks Avenues in the shadow of Barclays Center, your cozy candlelit Italian dinner awaits. Expect the menu presented to you to be jammed packed with drinks, appetizers, and desserts from the Granieri's motherland - all of which pair well with the the wood-fired oven baked pizza burning in the far corner. The high quality ingredients combine in both traditional and creative signature pies that rest upon the thin under-crust surrounded by the voluminous outer-crust. A bread-lovers dream! If Italy is too far and Eataly is too busy then...psst, check out Pizza Secret!
