Free pizza is hard to quibble with, especially when you're eating it off a century-old hand-carved bar imported from one of Al Capone's Chicago haunts. The Williamsburg native is said to haunt this dive, but you're more likely to find a motley assortment of people who are there for the free pizza pie ($2 for the first topping and $1 for each addition) that comes with a drink after 6 p.m., in addition to other haute-dive perks like stained-glass wall paneling, a pool table, an outdoor smoking deck, a lofted area with extra seating, and a semiprivate corner nook downstairs that, had Capone's existed in 1968, would've been called a "conversation pit." The solid jukebox, which contains all the Stonesy, Strokesy barroom classics, is augmented every night by DJs who play off the eclectic crowd’s presumably eclectic tastes.
