The Brooklyn Flea is one of those only in New York experiences -- part fabulous indie designer market, part home antiques offerings, part vintage clothing treasure-trove, part homemade jewelry market, part food market and part fabulous food vendors. It is a great meeting place of unique inventiveness sprouting up all around town. Salvatore Brooklyn, my favorite ricotta purveyors were there; the Red Hook Lobster Pound; People's Pops, you name it...this was the place to go, especially on the first really Spring-y day we have had in a while.
We tried the pizza from Pizzamoto which I'd heard about for a while -- pop-up pizza crafted in a wood burning pizza oven on wheels, who would have thought? They had a few pies on offer that you could order and watch being cooked in the school yard of Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School at 176 Lafayette Avenue where the Brooklyn Flea was being held.
We split their white pizza which was a thin flatbread crust topped with ricotta, Parmesan, smoked mozzarella, herbs, garlic, and olive oil. Aromatic, creamy, flavorful, and utterly fabulous especially having been crafted in a pizza oven on wheels! If you haven't been to the Brooklyn Flea, I recommend going and grabbing a pie at Pizzamoto, you won't be disappointed.
