AJ's Brooklyn Pizza Joint, Pizzeria in Mount Pleasant, Vancouver, Canada
AJ's Brooklyn Pizza Joint is a pizzeria in Mount Pleasant that focuses on New York and Detroit style pizzas. The dough is handcrafted through a three-day fermentation process that develops its flavor and texture.
Anthony 'AJ' Caridi and his wife Theresa opened the pizzeria in 2017 after spending 20 years searching for authentic New York pizza in Vancouver. Their determination to bring this rarely available pizza style to the city launched the establishment.
The place brings New York pizza traditions to Vancouver's dining scene through recipes and preparation methods that reflect this heritage. Diners experience a direct connection to how pizzas are made in Brooklyn neighborhoods.
The pizzeria is located at 325 East Broadway with Sunday through Thursday hours from 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM. Friday and Saturday hours extend until midnight for later diners.
The pizzeria introduced Detroit and Sicilian pizza styles to Vancouver, filling a gap in the local dining landscape. Signature creations like the Maui Wowie Detroit with thick-cut bacon and hot honey show how these styles are adapted with local flair.
