BROOKLYN PIZZA CLUB
ABOUT US
Nino Coniglio and Michael Turk have known each other for over 10 years. Hailing from New York City, the two grew up making pizza in a small Brooklyn neighborhood called Gravesend. During the 2020 pandemic, Nino (a 10-time world champion pizza maker with a garden in his yard) and Mike (a well-known radio host in the city) had the idea to join forces and create what is now known as The Brooklyn Pizza Club! The Brooklyn Pizza Club offers it's members a chance to eat pies far too expensive to serve in your average restaurant or pizzeria with the highest-quality ingredients, most grown in their own back yard! The two prepare a limited supply of what is considered the "world's most quality pizza" for its members weekly.
