Paul Giannone, known as Paulie Gee,[1] is an American restaurateur who founded the eponymous Paulie Gee's pizzeria in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York.

Early life

[edit]

Giannone was born in the Kensington section of Brooklyn.[2] He is of Italian and Jewish descent.[3]

Career

[edit]

Prior to opening Paulie Gee's, Giannone had a career in information technology, working for various telecommunications corporations and later as a consultant. Disillusioned with his career, he built a pizza oven in his backyard and developed a following in the online pizza community.[1][4]

Giannone opened Paulie Gee's pizzeria in Greenpoint, Brooklyn in March 2010, known for its eclectic topping combinations and rustic dining experience.[2] The "Hellboy" pizza with soppressata and Mike's Hot Honey quickly became a specialty at the restaurant.[5][6]

Paulie Gee's has since opened and licensed additional locations[7][8] across the United States[9] in Columbus,[10] Baltimore,[11] Chicago,[12][13] and New Orleans.[14] The business also opened a Paulie Gee's pizza kiosk in Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.[15]

Giannone has made a variety of media and public speaking appearances since opening Paulie Gee's, often noted for his career change late in life.
