About your Hexpert
Pies With Abe is a New York-based hospitality concept centered around pizza, wine, and entertaining at home. Rooted in local sourcing, fermentation, atmosphere, and the rituals of gathering, each dinner unfolds as a progression of bold-flavored signature pies paired with martinis, wine, seasonal ingredients, and a carefully considered sense of flow.
Hosted in homes, galleries, and unexpected spaces, Pies With Abe sits somewhere between dinner party, tasting menu, and cultural gathering. The experience draws as much from New York’s restaurant culture as it does from the intimacy of hosting friends at home. The pizzas come out one at a time, meant to be shared across the table with good music, great conversation, and people who actually want to be there.
What began as backyard dinners out east has evolved into one of New York’s most sought-after at-home dining experiences, known for bringing together food, hospitality, and atmosphere with a distinctly modern point of view.
Mike “Abe” Abelson, a self-taught pizzaiolo with a background in hospitality tech, leads the culinary side of the experience with a focus on naturally leavened dough, seasonal ingredients, and thoughtful execution. Chris Cobb, “the wine guy,” shapes the front of house through hosting, a welcome martini bar and wine pairings, music, and the overall energy of the room. Together, they approach the dinner less as a private chef experience and more as a modern form of entertaining.
