Pizza 4P’s (50 Norman Ave.), a Japanese-inspired Italian pizza restaurant in Greenpoint’s 50 Norman complex opened last weekend. Pizza 4P’s was founded in Vietnam in 2011 by Japanese native Masuko Yosuke. The company now operates over 40 locations across Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Indonesia and Japan. The new Brooklyn location of Pizza 4P’s is the first in the United States.On Instagram, Pizza 4P’s called the opening of the Brooklyn outpost “a deeply meaningful step” as the brand makes its American debut.
The Pizza 4P’s team is guided by the belief of “oneness.” They believe that producers, chefs, staff, guests, and the environment are “not separate”— but part of the same whole.” For 15 years, this belief has shaped everything the team does.
Throughout the brand’s journey across Asia, Pizza 4P’s team has dedicated themselves to sustainability, making homemade cheese in their own workshops, and using ingredients with traceable producers.
Before the Brooklyn location’s debut, the team visited local farms one by one, carefully selecting the freshest ingredients available in New York.
The menu at Pizza 4P’s starts with an eclectic group of appetizers with items like cheese plates and Italian meatball soup to salmon sushi with mozzarella and clam chowder.A large chunk of the menu offers a wide variety of pizzas. Highlights include a spicy garlic shrimp pizza, one with Hokkaido scallops and sweet miso gratin, a spicy beef kabob pizza, a tandoori chicken curry pizza, and a vegetarian pizza with kale, lemon ricotta, and an olive and caper sauce. The next section of the menu offers a large selection of pastas including one with clam and basil, salmon cream fettuccine, squid ink risotto, and baked lasagna. Main dishes include things like tender beef tongue with mashed potatoes and truffle burrata pie with parma ham. The menu at Pizza 4P’s concludes with several dessert options. There’s a Vietnamese cacao terrine with vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt panna cotta, tiramisu, chocolate cake, and cheesecake. The beverage menu offers sake, sangria, beer, kombucha, several mojitos, and soft drinks. Pizza 4P’s is open Wednesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 11 p.m.
