PIZZA

Emily is the namesake founder of the Pizza Loves Emily and Emmy Squared restaurant groups, boasting thirty locations worldwide. Emily founded the original location, EMILY, in 2014 in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, with her chef partner and then-husband, Matt Hyland, which serves wood-fired thin-crust pies and the globally famous Emmy Burger.

In 2016, Emily and Matt opened their Detroit-style pizza concept, Emmy Squared, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Emily started as the organization’s CEO and brand ambassador. Now, she focuses her attention on supporting operations at the original location.

You might even find her running food and bussing tables on the off chance you’re eating pizza while she’s passing through the city.

PHILANTHROPY AT EMILY BROOKLYN


This year, we hosted three fundraising initiatives & raised just over 25k for amazing organizations in need of support. We put a special pizza on the menu for each organization during its fundraising period; all profit from those pies went directly to the organizations.

  • In June, we hosted The Point Foundation, an organization that raises money for LGBTQIA+ scholars in need of financial support for college. In September, we hosted Poets House, a beloved organization to Emily, that bolsters the legacy & voices of poets. In October, we hosted our 2nd annual gathering for The Breasties, an organization that supports women in all aspects of their breast cancer journeys.

  • It’s an honor to use our platform to do this kind of good work, & we appreciate those of you who supported by dining, donating, & buying tickets to the fundraising dinners. Thank you!
