Brandon Hoy is the co-owner of Brooklyn’s iconic restaurant Roberta’s. The restaurant has become a neighborhood institution, and international culinary destination as well as an incubator for progressive entrepreneurship. The acclaimed restaurant and surrounding compound includes Roberta’s Garden, Roberta’s Bakery, To-Go Counter, The Tiki Bar, and Roberta’s Frozen Pizza production. The Roberta’s restaurant group also has locations in Manhattan, East Williamsburg, Montauk, Culver City, LA, Singapore and Nashville. Along side co owner and chef Carlo Mirarchi, Hoy founded Roberta’s in 2008 with the goal of providing a previously underserved neighborhood with artisanal food and beverage while maintaining a casual yet cool vibe. Hoy’s commitment to innovating and enlivening culinary experience resulted in Roberta’s growth into a Brooklyn icon. “The intent was always to be hospitable, like a house party – pizza-centric, seasonal and chef-driven,” Hoy says. At the helm of daily operations, Hoy also spearheads the art department where he designs seasonal packaging, and more. robertaspizza.com
