Overview

Order a beer get a free brick oven pizza - not just a slice - a whole pizza.

History

Free pizza, the best DJ in town

Alligator Lounge served a cheesy homemade brick-oven pie free with every drink, even a $4 pint of Yuengling: not a slice, as our old review pointed out, but the whole pizza¹. Its manager, David Sliskin, called free pizza the best DJ in town². In 2006 the Village Voice called its gay hip-hop night, (Not Straight) Outta Compton, one of Brooklyn's best parties³. It's still at 600 Metropolitan Avenue, open until 4am every night, with karaoke in the back lounge Wednesday through Sunday and free pizza every day^{4, 5}.
