After 53 Years, “The Original Pizza IV” is Now Kosher in Brooklyn

The Original Pizza is now kosher on Ave U.

The Original Pizza IV in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, has been a popular local non-kosher pizzeria in operation for 53 years until last week when its owners decided to convert it into a kosher restaurant.

The menu for the newly kosher pizzeria includes a variety of pizzas that retain their non-kosher recipes sans the non-kosher ingredients, including the “Original Supreme Pizza” which includes Homemade mozzarella, Romano cheese, fresh basil and San Marzano tomatoes. Other specialty pizzas include pesto pizza, mushroom truffle pizza, penne a la vodka pizza, grandma slices, and more.

Other menu items include calzones, soups, rice balls, and a variety of traditional Italian pasta dishes.  New items include borekas, falafel, knishes, and veggie rolls.

Hours of operation are: Sun-Thurs 11:30am-Midnight, Friday 11am-2 hours before Shabbat, Motzei Shabbat 1 hour after Shabbat ends.

The Original Pizza is under the Kosher Supervision of Rabbi Yisroel Gornish and is Cholov Yisroel, Pas Yisroel, and Yoshon.
