What people say, in short
North of Brooklyn draws recommendations across its Toronto outlets for New York-style pizza, including NY Cheese, Vodka Verde and Killer Bee. Diners specifically recommend the Geary outlet's Greater Good setting for pizza, beer and an arcade. Dissent centres on value and texture: some find the pizza merely average, one reports soggy pies and another wants more toppings. The named pizzas and experiences across the city are not all specific to Geary.
