About Us

Pizza came to Brooklyn from Manhattan in 1924.
Brooklyn came to the Mile High City in 2012.

Located just minutes from the Glendale-Cherry Creek area, Brooklyn Pizza is the ideal neighborhood pizza place. We offer the ultimate experience in kosher and vegetarian pizza, with vegan options available as well. Our hand tossed dough is combined with fresh toppings, rich mozzarella, and homemade marinara sauce, to create a made-to-order pie for even the most discerning pizza palate. Our pre-made pies are sold by the slice, for a no-wait solution to that nagging pizza craving.

Traditional New York pizza is freshly made, hand-tossed, with a crispy crust that can be folded in half and eaten with one hand.  We offer the hominess of a locally-owned establishment; casual catering services for any event; and an ever-expanding and richly creative menu.

Our facility boasts a comfortable, energetic atmosphere with seating for 30, and our entire menu available for dine-in as well as take-out.

So come give us a try at Brooklyn: your East Coast pizza destination in Denver.

David A. Lustig

Founder

David Lustig was a second generation Colorado native. David grew up in a small Jewish family on Newport Way in Winston Downs just a few blocks from what would someday be Brooklyn Pizza. From an early as age, David loved to help his mom prepare special meals for Shabbos and Yom Tov. A chef was born.

David attended Fallis Elementary, Place Junior High, and George Washington High School. He graduated from the University of Denver with a business degree. Throughout his varied career, David learned the value of building long-term relationships with clients, vendors and suppliers. He uses what he learned every day at Brooklyn Pizza. David’s love of travel has given him the opportunity to taste local flavors and experience cultures across the United States and around the world. David has always enjoyed incorporating novel ingredients into creative and delicious meals for his friends and family.

As a self-taught chef, David is passionate about the food he serves and dedicates himself to the mission of making sure every customer has a positive experience. Early in 2012 Denver found itself in need of a new Kosher pizza place. It was a perfect fit. David brought his skills together with his desire to provide a sit down restaurant for his family, and all families, to eat together. Because David’s wife, Noelle was born and raised in Brooklyn, where some people say pizza was born, it was a shidduch. The name Brooklyn Pizza, along with the names of all the dishes, are a tribute to David’s wife, Noelle and their daughter, Atara.

Sadly, in July 2020, David left us.  David was a warm, caring individual who used his tremendous culinary skills and boundless strength for the greater Jewish community at the helm of Brooklyn Pizza. With extraordinary integrity and dedication, he created a welcoming place to serve everyone with love.  We at Brooklyn Pizza strive to carry on the legacy he created.
