“ This beer garden/food truck pizza is tucked away and a bit hard to find. It has a parking lot out in front with outdoor seating and many tables inside. It's simple. It's clean. It's very friendly. There are about a dozen and a half beers on tap. All reasonably priced and unique. Cold and served with a smile. Through a glass door is literally a pizza truck. They are super friendly with only about 6 pizzas. They are charred and thin and hot and delicious. We had the original and left craving a few more pies. Very kid friendly and there is no pressure to eat and rush. This is a hidden gem and if you like very thin, artisan pizza, put your GPS on and find this place! ”

“ Great brewery! Best pizza on long island. Love that they show soccer on the tv's all day! ”

“ What a yummy and welcomed brewery to the LI brewing scene! We came here after visiting somewhere nearby and were unsure if we would like most of their beers since they're mostly IPA based and we tend to stay away from IPAs. Luckily the bartender was so helpful and allowed us to sample a few different beers. I ended up falling in love with a yuzu beer that would typically not be up my alley but this one definitely was! They have a bright inviting space which cannot be said about all breweries. Plenty of seating inside and out with a pizza place onsite for food. We will definitely be back! ”

“ Root + Branch Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in Copiague, New York in July 2022. It was founded by long-time friends and business partners Anthony Sorice and Ryan Mauban. The duo met when they worked as bartenders at Tørst: a popular craft beer bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Sorice eventually became an assistant brewer at Brooklyn's Three's Brewing Company and later head brewer at LIC BEER Project, while Mauban worked around at other Brooklyn restaurants. The two eventually decided to open their own brewery. They officially founded their brewery and brand in 2018 as a gypsy brewing operation. They chose the name 'Root + Branch' in reference to a literary group and magazine that Sorice's old college history professor started with his former colleagues. Sorice has a love for history and philosophy and originally thought about becoming a history professor. The duo brewed their first batches of beer at larger established breweries like Twelve Percent Beer Project (North Haven, CT), Great South Bay Brewery (Bay Shore, NY), and Evil Twin Brewing (Queens, NY). After four years of hard work, they finally opened their own space on Long Island underneath an elevated railway. Sorice and Mauban wanted to offer a food option to encourage their customers to stay at the brewery longer. They enlisted the help of Sorice's father, Frank Sorice: a former pizzaiolo who was experimenting with wood-fired pies in his backyard. Brother Chris Sorice also came on board and the new wood-fired pizza operation was dubbed "Nico's Charred Pies", named for a beloved family dog. My family and I recently visited Root + Branch Brewing for the first time. My wife asked me where I wanted to go to celebrate my 40th Birthday, and I chose Root + Branch without hesitation. Although I had never visited the brewery, I had first tried their beer when they were brewing at Twelve Percent Beer Project (which is just a short drive from my house) and I began following them closely from then on. We really liked the location: small yet intimate, very quiet, chill vibes, not crowded at all. We also liked that it was located right underneath an elevated railway for the Long Island Railroad. My family and I enjoyed watching trains rolling by every so often. The brewery doesn't offer flights but they do offer short pours. I enjoyed samples of "Grammatical Fiction" (New England IPA), "Ben Is Dead" (Double New England IPA), "Reel Ten" (Double New England IPA), and "Drawing The Line" (Triple New England IPA). Every single beer that I tried was fantastic; each one better than the previous one. We were also equally excited to try some pizza from Nico's Charred Pies. We ordered and split the "G&R Upside Down Margherita" (aged and G&R Deli hand-stretched fresh mozz, tomato, Sicilian oregano, pecorino, basil, evoo, grana padano; we opted to add pepperoni, fresh burrata, hot honey) and the "G&R Special White" (aged and G&R Deli hand-stretched fresh mozz, pecorino, garlic, lemon, whipped ricotta, tellicherry black pepper, G&R pistachio pesto, evoo, grana padano). OMG! Not only is the beer at Root + Branch out of this world but so is the pizza! It's been a while since I was this impressed with a brewery (or pizzeria for that matter). I also must add that all of the staff were just lovely. I would easily list Root + Branch as one of my Top 5 favorite breweries and I can't wait to go back. ”

“ We got the delicious sour and the bone in the throat. The sour had the right balance of fruit, tart and hops. I just loved it. This is going to be my default here. The bone in throat was quite a surprise. I was expecting it to be way bitter but it was pleasant. Had great beers and a great time. I did not get to taste the pizza this time but I hear only good things about them. ”

“ Great place to meet up with friends and family. Service was quick and friendly. Food there was great as well. ”
