    Omg!!! Came in here while at the italian festival. We sat outside and this was the best pizza I ever had. Crunchy sides perfect amount of sauce and cheese the seasoning were perfection.

    Frankie P knocks it out of the park! On my pizza tour this was the number one in my book, the white slice is a must have and the others were perfect as well. If they moved this to Ohio I'd die happy

    I'll die on this hill: Frank Pinello (owner of Best Pizza, former Roberta's alum) is the king of pizza. His pizza is just so effing amazing. He never gets the flowers he deserves in the press and on social media. Big slices, bursting with flavor. His grandma slice, which is HUGE, is my favorite, with its tart anchovy marinara sauce. Caramelized tomato and garlic. And his regular cheese slice is also pretty damn good, with a cheesy flavor that will punch you in the face. Nothing halfway done here at Best Pizza. Service is always with a smile and the price is just right. It can get busy, but overall, there is plenty of room for everyone to have a seat. Three huge slices and two drinks were 18 bucks, but one slice could feed one person, seriously.

    Decent slice but nothing special (sorry) the 3.8 rating on here is probably accurate. I would def get a different one if I ever come back here

    Definitely a really good slice of Za. Would stop by again when I'm in the neighborhood.

    Bottom of the grandma.  Too skimp, thin, too airy for my liking.

    My Brother and I were going to try out as many pizza places as we could on our drive through the city. Best Pizza was our 4th stop. We went with a slice of cheese and a slice of grandma. I honestly was looking forward to Best Pizza and Sallys up in New Haven the most on our trip, and unfortunately, both of them kind of let me down a bit. The cheese slice was fine, typical NY slice and pretty tasty. The grandma slice was skimp. The dough was super light, indents in the bottom of the dough, super thin, and not enough cheese on it. It was like a bread slice. Meh. Still love you Frank, even if I thought your pizza was just average. Love watching you on Youtube and learning about pizza from you!

    My friend and I are on a mission to find the best pizza in NYC. First on our list was Best Pizza. I loved the straight forwardness of the place. Staff were friendly and direct, order in, paid for quickly and they even brought it to the table for us. The place is small but set up in a way then even if it was full, you wouldn't feel crowded. Decorated paper plates line the wall, and you realize people are coming from all over the world to eat this pizza. Hell, I came from Rhode Island so I get it! When I bit into the pepperoni, I said to myself "yes, this is a NY pie". When I think about what qualifies it to be NY style, this slice embodies all of it. Good crust, good sauce, good cheese. Care and attention was paid when making it, even though the big boss was nowhere in that kitchen. The pepperoni edged out the cheese as the better slice for me. It was cooked more and the crispiness of the crust was pleasant while accentuating the flavor. The sauce wasn't anything over the top but made its presence known with a bold tomato taste. The cheese to sauce ratio was on point, a bit of pull without it being overwhelmingly cheesy. Best slice in the city? Probably not. But it was 100% delicious and a great way to start our quest!

    Best Pizza doesn't scream for your attention. In fact, it looks like the stereotypical NYC pizza place you'd see in a Scorcese film: white walls, hand-drawn art on paper plates, two ceiling fans overhead and a slice case. Wu-Tang cuts through the room like garlic. The staff moves easily, friendly and natural. Lauren Hill drops in next. Then Chubb Rock. Nobody here is performing, yet it's all part of the neighborhood experience. Now for the slices. The pepperoni curls just enough, its edges dark from the heat. It's a little crisp, not too oily. The cheese lays smooth, layered over a sauce that speaks softly, despite a little bite. There's some chew to the crust, some char on the edges. You get crunch in the right places. Nothing soggy, nothing sloppy. Garlic knots sit on the side, blistered and warm with a that spicy marinara. It's a slice you'd eat on your lunch break, or after a show, or walking home. You could call it everyday pizza. You could call it neighborhood pizza. You could call it a terrific version of both, and you wouldn't be wrong. Maybe that's what makes it stand out. It's not trying to blow your mind; it's just really good stuff. Frank Pinello wasn't behind the counter today, but you feel his fingerprints in the restraint and balance. This place feels like someone who knows how to cook anything but he chose to make pizza out of love. And while it's still a neighborhood spot, his national recognition has made it a true destination. You've had this slice before in other places. You'll have it again. That's the point. It stays with you not because it's excellent in any way, but because it's familiar. This is a classic New York slice, wood-fired, chewy and crispy, served in a room that doesn't care if you're impressed. They know that you know they're good. Not a pilgrimage, but a pretty good stop.

    The pizza is so good! Loved the grandma slice and the white slice a little more than the classic, but absolute favorite was the arugula salad. Did not expect to have a salad be my favorite.

    White slice.

    I have wanted to come here for a long time and finally made it. Ordered the white and the grandma. Both were great. Even my oldest child that has lived in Brooklyn for over 10 years was impressed. Thanks for the great pizza !

    Eating atop the rental car...

    " Kramer has been swimming laps between the Queensborough bridge and the Brooklyn bridge." -Jerry Seinfeld da Scene: Hanging out in Brooklyn for a few days and decided on doing a lil' pizza jaunt. Old and New school style since Di Fara's said goodbye to Dom (rip) for old school we decided on trying Franks' place - Best Pizza to represent and wasn't disappointed. da Grub: Did Cheese, Pep, White, and Grandma. Quintessential NY slices, ate them right on the hood of the rental car. Crust had a lil' crunch w/ a chew, GREAT sauce. White pie was nice and garlicy, Grandma was a lil' dry for me. Overall solid Brooklyn spot. Service: No nonsense, ya place your order at the counter and wait for the goodness to arrive minute later. Grab napkins and shake on some peppers if you like before heading outside to grub. Frank's recipes and methods represent Brooklyn pizza well, check him out!

    Loved the casual neighborhood vibes here. On a Saturday night, not too crowded, seats available, pretty cozy I'd say. Onto the pizza....not sold on it being the "best" pizza, but a very good slice; great char, flavor and not floppy. Didnt have to put any seasoning or extra cheese...I think this pizza is in line with Joe's pizza, but better! Would come back or go to the other locations.

    Me and Frank Pinello

    This pizzeria is well known to many of us who watched the Pizza Show on Vice and Munchies in the mid 2010s and its owner Frank Pinello has inspired many current pizza makers and pizzeria owners to this day. I came here straight from Diamond Slice on a mini pizza crawl to try different white slices. The place looks just as it did back in the day and I met Frank himself in the pizzeria. He is truly the person you saw on the pizza show in that he loves to talk to his customers and treats his staff so well. It is no wonder why many people respect this man so much. Anywho, I had two slices of their famous white slice which is unlike any of the ones I've had in my life. The slices consisted of ricotta and mozzarella, sliced pecorino Romano as a lot of pizzerias do; but what really amped up this slice was the parsley and the caramelized onions which gave these slices some delicious pep. The white slices here are as far as I've seen unique to Best Pizza and are in a class of its own. The fact that this is cooked in an oven that is well over a century old makes this even better. I would strongly recommend this pizzeria when you are in NY and visiting Williamsburg. And Frank is one of the best.

    Is this Frank Pinello's Best Place Pizzeria?. I viewed his UTube video with his grandmother Nonna making Chicken Cutlets. Would like to stop by for lunch, possibly meet Frank, maybe his grandmother too.

    Yes, this the the same place owned by Frank Pinello, also known by pizza fans as the host of "The Pizza Show" airing on Vice Network. I have visited from out of town twice and both times neither Frank (nor his Grandma) were in the store. If one of…

My wife got pepperoni, they have beef pepperoni or pork pepperoni. Mikey Love was really cool he came out and greeted me. My kids got a drink, and then guess what, their gelato was actually top tier. I went for pizza and found out the Geloto was was awesome. You go to a pizza place and then get gelato. They had vanilla and watermelon, it was so good. I got some for my daughter, I tasted it, and one of my self them one of my sons wanted some as well. Bernadette was making them and having a great time.

This is the first restaurant we've been to with 20% auto gratuity for a party under 6. But the borderline dishonest part is that the check that you sign tells you in tiny letters that tip was already added, but has huge font for additional tip and written out tip calculations, so it is very easy to tip 40% without noticing. Sometimes I do tip extra generously, but I don't want to feel like I was tricked into doing it! Looking thru reviews here, I see other people also experienced this, including people in small parties who were locked into the 20% when it should have definitely been 18%. :/ So close to a good experience, but ruined by tricksy billing.
