//The line

F&F Pizzeria is a walk-in, counter-service slice shop from the Frankies Spuntino team — the two Franks, Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli — in a converted garage on Court Street beside their other restaurants. Gothamist's opening dispatch was headlined 'The Franks Open A Slice Joint In Brooklyn, And Pizza Fiends Swarm.' Per that report, the line to order runs through the regular door, with 'a large open space where you can mill around while you wait for your pizza.'

The line exists because supply is capped. Gothamist reported the shop opens around noon and stays open 'until the day's dough is done' — on opening day that meant closing around 6 p.m. — with 'three dedicated F&F pizza guys' cranking out pies as fast as they can until the dough runs out. Specialty slices go first: the Sicilian sausage slice 'sold out within an hour or so of opening.'

The Infatuation frames a typical visit as a roughly 25-minute wait where you 'hope they're not sold out by the time your order comes up.' Note this is the slice counter at 459 Court St, which is walk-in only; the separate sit-down F&F Restaurant next door at 465 Court St takes reservations. damnlines has no camera at F&F, so nothing here is a live count — for a real-time read on a nearby line, use one of our Carroll Gardens / Brooklyn cameras.

//When the line peaks
  • Opening / high-demand days draw the biggest crowds — Gothamist described 'large crowds of pizza fiends' turning Court Street into 'a bit of a block party.'
  • Early afternoon for specialty slices: Gothamist reported the Sicilian sausage slice sold out within about an hour of the noon opening on opening day.
  • Late afternoon and evening carry sellout risk — Gothamist notes the shop runs only 'until the day's dough is done,' as early as ~6 p.m. on a busy opening day.
  • Any visit, per The Infatuation: expect roughly a 25-minute wait, with a chance slices are gone before your order comes up.
