Public Display of Affection opened on March 13, 2020. Located on the border of Park Slope and Gowanus in Brooklyn, New York, it is the first restaurant from Chef Rob Guimond who brings his strong flavors and midwestern sensibilities to Public Display of Affection after honing his skills at Jean Georges, Roberta’s, and Speedy Romeo. We’re here to encourage community, feeding people and nourishing connections through food. Come hang!
“This place is awesome. We were actually about to eat next door but it caught our eye. The covered outdoor seating out front looked cozy / romantic / perfect. And it was. We got a kale Caesar and vegetable pizza. Soo good! Vibe was absolutely fun, welcoming, cozy. There is a blurb on the menu about how they are closing soon, which is sad! This is a place I would come back to. Highly recommend stopping by. We were able to sit without a reservation on a weekday evening, but was recommended that making a reservation is usually a good idea 👍🏼”
“Public Display of Affection in Brooklyn is a warm, welcoming family pizza spot with a relaxed, genuine atmosphere. The staff are friendly, and the whole place feels comfortable and unpretentious. The highlight is their meatball pizza, which is truly excellent. The meatballs are flavorful and tender, paired with a rich sauce, melted cheese, and a perfectly balanced crust—crispy outside, soft inside. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind and enjoy quality food with family or friends. Definitely worth visiting, especially for the standout meatball pizza.”
“The Commish pizza, a thin pie with an incredible slightly sweet/slightly spicy sauce, is one my pizza Mt. Rushmore. Pair it with PDA's espresso martini and adult vibes, and have a great time. Its a pretty small joint, but that adds to the intimate nature (I'd be big mad if I couldnt get a seat, but that's yet to happen).”
“Ok it’s a cheat code if you know someone who works at a great place for food & excellent service? Oh well it’s New York, everyone knows someone that knows someone and I so happen to have the best of both when dining at PDA! Great place to meet unique people and occasionally host awesome events. Welcoming family friendly atmosphere and big on community building through their open door mindset!”
“Very cozy intimate spot with more outdoor seating than indoors. Place is decorated with lots of kitschy knick knacks including a bathroom tip box. Service was fast, like the pasta and Commish pizza. Unfortunately for the BLT pizza the kale was burnt to a crisp detracting from the flavor. Pies were good otherwise.”
