Our Story
How Jet's Pizza Became
How Jet's Pizza Became
Brooklyn's Favorite Slice
It all started in 2009 when founder Marcus "Jet" Rivera opened a tiny 12-seat pizzeria on Flatbush Avenue with one stone oven, a handful of family recipes, and a dream to bring authentic, craft pizza to Brooklyn. Jet's pizza was born not from a corporate formula, but from a deeply personal passion for food made with love.
Today, jets pizza serves hundreds of Brooklyn families every day, staying true to those original recipes while innovating with seasonal ingredients and bold new flavors. We source locally where possible, hand-toss every crust to order, and never compromise on quality — because great pizza deserves nothing less.
