DUMBO is home to some of Brooklyn's most argued-about pizza, and this party lines up Grimaldi's, Juliana's, Ignazio's and Ziggy's in one spot so you can taste-test without the famous lines. The Jelly, a Brooklyn cover band, keeps the Archway loud while kids hit the craft table. If you have ever wanted to settle the Grimaldi's-versus-Juliana's debate, this is your evening.

What to expect

The cobblestoned Archway turns into a pizza hall with cheap slices, gelato and drinks from the Archway bar. Brooklyn Bridge Parents runs kids' activities, local artist Sarah Feingold leads crafting, and there is a complimentary photobooth. It is casual and walk-up friendly after work.
