 We go to Pete's 2-3 times a week. After less than two years in the neighborhood, it has become our home (not far) away from home. If it changes much, if the staff is much different, we won't be coming back. For pizza, we have Luzzo's for some of the best pizza in the city, just down the block (and has a great staff, too). We go to Pete's for arguably the best bar and grill/bbq menus anywhere, its brilliant beer list, and its people. Jazz legends make their home there. Artists, political wonks, actors and techies. 

Things that will not happen:

1) Pete's becoming a 22 year olds' hip hotspot. That's just not going to happen on Atlantic, in BK Heights/Cobble Hill, which is mostly families and 30/40-somethings (and older). Even Floyd down the street tilts older than its brethren on Smith and on Franklin.

2) Pete's beating Luzzo's and Table 87. Sure, people will order pizza if they are already at the new Pete's, but don't scrap the core menu in lieu of trying to compete with the neighborhood standbys. You'll lose. We're loyal.
