The story
Pizza Loves Emily on Downing Street may sound like a pizza joint, but the real draw here is the Emmy Burger. As Only Scrans discovered during a 48-hour food crawl, this Brooklyn tavern-style burger has earned a reputation that extends beyond its name. The patty is transcendent, but what makes it particularly compelling is the inspiring backstory of the chef’s redemption—a narrative that gives every bite a little extra weight.
This is a neighborhood favorite, casual and unpretentious, where the burger steals the spotlight. Only Scrans called it “transcendent,” and it’s easy to see why: the Emmy Burger delivers a classic tavern-style experience with a story that feels personal. For those seeking a great burger in a laid-back New York spot, Pizza Loves Emily delivers far more than its name promises.

The Emmy burger steals the spotlight, earning raves for its juicy, indulgent perfection. The overall vibe is pure, unpretentious joy—a place where comfort food hits every note.
“Oh my god, that is sensational. Look at the color of the patty. Now, have a chips. Now, have a chips. Everything together works so well. In a world where smash burgers and smash patties, caramelized edges, the world where that is the norm, this is a completely completely different approach, and it's an unbelievable one. I love smash burgers, don't get me wrong. However, I feel like this is what a burger should be. Oh my god. The sauce is like a Asian Sriracha, spicy, sweet, tangy, and it mixes with that that meat. You put so much salt on the meat, but you don't actually taste that much salt. It sort of It just brings out all the moisture from the meat. I mean, have you ever seen the likes of this? This is a tavern style burger, a dry-aged, thick, perfectly blushing pink beef patty. Juices running down your wrists, sweet caramelized onions, oozing melty cheese and their special Asian inspired Emmy sauce on a pretzel bun. It's hard to compare that to a burger in the UK because there isn't one that you can compare it to.”
