Are we a wine shop with a pizza problem? A pizza joint with an ice cream problem? We are all of those things (and more) so we’re embracing our split personality — with Happy Ice Cream right here under the same roof. When we launched Happy Gyro into the world back in 2019, it was an all-vegetarian gyro pop-up. These days, we’ve evolved into something else all together. We’re not vegetarian. We don’t even serve gyros. Now we’re your super casual, one-stop-shopping destination for natural wine bottles, pizza and ice cream — plus whatever else we feel like making on any given day. Right now, the dinner menu is all about Johnny’s naturally-leavened pizza — including *whole* Roman pies! — and cozy Greco-Roman soul food. (Brace yourselves: there will be whole 16” NY-style round pies here and there, too.) During the day, the shop is open for bottles of wine and ice cream pints. After 5:30 PM, we do dinner, mostly for carry-out — but now we have a *tiny* standing area in the shop, and a slightly less tiny patio when the weather is nice. Nothing fancy or full-service. Paper plates and sexy stemware. (And we still scoop outside from the cart Tue-Fri evenings and all day Saturday.) Come visit us at the shop Tue-Sat 12:30-8:30 PM. Walk-ins welcome for ice cream and wine. Ordering ahead for dinner is still the best move. Did we mention that our wine is always priced retail, whether you’re drinking here or taking home?! Best deal in the city, if you ask us." Man I miss Komi. I do love that they reference/ remember Happy Cleaners, which was a neighborhood stalwart back in the day. No longer a block away, but the NY style pies have me very intrigued. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were my cleaners for years. In the early Komi days would drop off laundry then head up the steps for brunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea about Happy Cleaners until just now. Thank you for this! The NY-style pies will get me across the bridge from Virginia, and I’m glad they returned the Freak-a-Burger also. That said, the Chicken Parm is easily the best I’ve ever had - it’s a must-try. Even if it cools to room temperature, it’s a marvel - don’t mess it up by keeping it overnight and/or microwaving it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fava bean and eggplant dips now on the menu are wonderful ... and the french fries you can order to eat while you wait are the best fries you'll ever have had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPop Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Any idea when the NY style pizzas will be back? Those were the best pizzas in town during the pandemic. The Grandpa slices are good for sure, but they are not at the same level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. i think they had a “one-day-only” special the day after Thanksgiving, but I have no other information about what were undoubtedly the best pizzas I’ve ever eaten. And I mean that if I was asked to rattle off the ten best pizzas I’ve ever had in my life, all ten would be the Happy Gyro NY-style pies. I miss them terribly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komi - I miss them terribly Happy Gyro - I miss them terribly Little Serow - I miss them terribly I'm not even sure what they are now, but with no dine in option, it's not really an option for me. I've done take out from them, but by the time I get home, the food is cold. Such a shame at what we had and now have been denied. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
