A former chef and partner at Emmy Squared is slinging his pizza again in the Boro Hotel in Long Island City. Beebe’s pies come from Lou Tomczak, who has a decorated past with experience at both hit Detroit-style parlor Emmy Squared and wood-fired pizza destination Paulie Gee’s in Greenpoint.

The restaurant — located at 38-28 27th St., between 38th and 39th avenues in Long Island City — opened a couple weeks ago, anchored by a wood-fire pizza oven with a bright red top that pops against the white-brick space. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the 62-seat interior with light, and there’s an outdoor space that seats 40.

For the new pizza restaurant, Tomczak is doing away with the square pizzas of Emmy Squared, returning to a more classically New York, thin-crust style that pulls influence from the coal-oven pizzas of NYC icons like Patsy’s, the chef tells Grub Street, with pizzas aligned to the style at Rubirosa. Here, airy and soft dough is cooked for a few minutes at 700 degrees in a gas oven, stretched thin, and sauced and topped evenly, almost all the way up to the crispy edge. A simple vodka-sauce pizza with mozzarella and parmesan is on the menu alongside more dressed-up options with toppings like smoked mozzarella, stracciatella, prosciutto, and sweet fennel sausage.

As an all-day restaurant, Beebe’s offers more than just pizza with a New American menu with Italian influence; that portion of the restaurant comes from chef George Mandakas. At breakfast, there are simple classics like a breakfast sandwich and avocado toast. Non-pizza entrees include pastas, a burger, and meat dishes like a chicken milanese, crispy and pounded thin. For drinks, there are Negronis on tap and a wine and beer list from local Long Island City breweries.

Tomczak left Emmy Squared in March 2017 after helping to launch it into citywide acclaim for bouncy square pies; he was also one of the investors who sued Matthew and Emily Hyland for allegedly hiding profits. The suit was settled in November for an undisclosed amount, and the Hylands did not admit fault. This is the first time the pizzaiolo is back in action since leaving the restaurant.

Beebe’s is open daily for breakfast from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. and for lunch and dinner from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
