Brooklyn-based Emmy Squared Pizza is the new official pizza of the stadium.
Destination Dumpling is also coming to Citi in 2019.

The senior executive chef said he enjoys bringing diverse foods to the fans; adding that it enhances their experience when they come to Flushing.
"The trends of food in baseball are going away from cold hot dogs and warm beer," Citi Field's Patrick Schaffer said.
"We send teams to specific restaurants, so you partner up and our teams are going to those restaurants, they're lending their core values and we do it just as well as they do in their restaurants."
There will even be food options for the most select diners at the ballpark this year. 2019 will feature the first all vegan stand at Citi Field.
