The pizza is simply divine. Truly, nothing more needs to be said. And somehow they make it even better with buy two, get one free during the last 30 minutes of the night. Dangerous information to possess when you live nearby. I love this place. Simple, local, delicious, and exactly what a neighborhood pizza joint should be.

Not much to say that hasn't already been said…read more The pizza is fantastic. You really can't go wrong with any slice you choose, which is incredibly rare. What makes it even better is the fact that the desserts are standouts too. Pistachio tres leches and pistachio/grape gelato were both amazing. The only downside here is the location itself. Zero seating and you're stand up eating both inside and outside. Given the popularity, it makes it very crowded, and very unpleasant.

High quality with good ingredients. Thin crust, just the way I like it. Sixpoint Stooper $11 - A good beer to compliment my pizza. But not worth the $11. Also, a decent selection of beer; again, of high quality. Ambiance - A small local location, but they jam us all in. They really squeeze us all in to get those extra tables/chairs in. A little too tight for me. But I guess if that reduces the wait time, it might be worth it? See pictures. Indoor/outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is more comfortable. As long as you do NOT mind the excessive customers that are walking by. Congrats on the successful business. Cool decor. See pictures. Semi open kitchen. Two restrooms, the second one is downstairs. Service - Good. Price - $48 + tip; expensive for what we got, but worth it for the quality. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since coming out of retirement in 2012. Nice family history on your website.

I was greeted by an angel called Lisa, who was very much giving fairy Godmother of Luigi's pizza. I stumble through my order. I'm confused. I'm asking questions. The whole time Lisa is patient. She's sweet. She's funny. Makes me feel right at home. I asked for one slice of Knicks pizza but I wanted pepperoni on there. They said it didn't come with pepperoni, but the owner was sitting there like "you know what since you asked for it we'll do it for you." It's like I was in heaven and was told Ask and you shall receive, we just want you to be happy! Now, I don't know what sort of crack cocaine they put in this Knicks pizza but it had vodka sauce and ricotta, hot honey olive oil and I think a pesto drizzle. Oh my Jesus Christ this was the best pizza I've ever had in my entire life. Savory, a lil sweet, saucy. Lisa was right, don't need ranch for this at all. Also loved the white pie. I'm so sad because I had to leave New York the next day but days later I am still thinking about this pizza. I am still thinking about sweet Lisa and just how warm and welcomed I was in the few minutes I spent in this restaurant. I'm still thinking about how delicious this slice was!!! I cannot recommend enough, 10 out of 10 you won't regret it. Tell Lisa the girl who asked for ranch and she responded "that's sacrilegious"sent you. I told Lisa I'd leave a good review and she said "we don't care about no reviews we care about getting you fed". Enough said!

This place serves a solid slice of pizza in Brooklyn. One downside is that they are cash-only and…read moredo not offer Uber Eats or delivery, which can be a little inconvenient. I went in with extremely high expectations after seeing Barstool give it a 9.3, which is an incredibly high score. In my opinion, Dave Portnoy has a particular style of pizza that he prefers, and that definitely influences his ratings. Personally, I would not rate this pizza anywhere near a 9.3, especially considering how many great pizza options there are in Brooklyn. That being said, it is still a good slice and worth trying. I just don't think it quite lives up to the hype or the exceptionally high rating it has received.

Thick, cheesy, saucy, crispy around the edges, and just completely different from a regular slice of pizza. This is the thing I'm coming here for first. Then there are the homemade frozen treats. I've had both the Italian ices and the ice cream, in more flavors than I can even remember at this point, and I genuinely can't tell you which one I like better. Every time I think I've picked a favorite, I try another flavor and change my mind. LOL. There's something very old-school Brooklyn about the whole experience too.

We ordered a glass of wine, a beer, an arugula salad, and our main food order. Everything started out fine, and the salad came without a problem. But then we waited. And waited. About 30 minutes after we had ordered, I asked our waiter where our food was. He apologized and admitted that he had forgotten to put the order in. By that point, we had already watched other tables receive their food, including people who had arrived well after us. We continued waiting, and after roughly 40 minutes or more, our food still had not arrived. At that point, the dining experience was already ruined and we decided to leave. Ironically, just as we were getting ready to go, the food finally started coming out. I told them we no longer wanted it. The waiter did apologize again and offered us a pizza to take with us, which I assume was complimentary, but by then we were simply ready to leave. Even paying the bill became unnecessarily drawn out. We were charged the full amount for the salad, beer, and wine. I sat with a $50 bill ready to pay, was handed the check, and then ended up standing around for another five minutes waiting for someone to actually take the money. There was no apology from the person handling the payment. I understand that mistakes happen, and I appreciated that our waiter admitted he had forgotten to place the order. But when a restaurant makes that kind of mistake, the recovery matters. After waiting that long, watching later-arriving customers get served, and then having difficulty simply paying and leaving, an apology and a pizza at the very end didn't really fix the experience. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I can't say the service lived up to the restaurant's reputation.

I've eaten here, come to the Bushwick Block Party to see Action Bronson perform, and spent enough time around Tiki Disco to associate the place with a particularly inventive, free-spirited period in the neighborhood. The dining area still has that wonderfully idiosyncratic character: exposed beams, communal tables, mismatched details, and an open kitchen turning out genuinely excellent pizza. What impresses me most is how naturally Roberta's became more than a restaurant. Food, music, parties, outdoor spaces, and an extraordinary mix of people all seemed to converge here, giving the place a cultural gravity that could never have been designed by committee. It remains one of those places that instantly takes me back to my bachelor years and an especially fun chapter of my time in the city, when Bushwick felt endlessly creative, and Roberta's seemed to sit comfortably at its center.

Mark's Red Hook Pizza is solid but not quite unforgettable. The crust was crispy, toppings fresh, and flavors nice, yet I expected more wow factor. The service is friendly, but it took longer than anticipated. If you're craving pizza, it's worth a try, but maybe not a go-to spot. Overall, decent experience, could be better. read more

From the first bite to the last, this meal was just one "wow" after another . Let me start by saying I am super critical when it comes to my pizza and pizzerias. I LOVE good pizza! My go to slice is always a Pepperoni Slice. So today I went straight for the Hot Honey Pepperoni Sicilian slice, and it was absolutely next level . The crust was thick, airy, and perfectly crisp on the bottom, while the hot honey added that sweet fire. Every bite had that perfect balance of cheesy, saucy, spicy, and sweet. My mouth is watering just writing about it! The classic Sicilian slice held its own just as strong Simple, clean, and done RIGHT. The sauce had great flavor, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the bread had that soft inside with a slight crunch on the outside that you look for in a true Sicilian slice. Now let's talk wings... the Mango Habanero wings were --that perfect combo of sweet and heat. Not overpowering, no swimming in sauce, just enough kick to let you know it's there. The Buffalo wings came through exactly how they should--saucy, tangy, with that classic flavor that never misses . But the REAL star of the show... the fried calzones OMG!!!! Absolutely amazing!! Fried calzone versus baked is NO match. My father in-law and my wife ordered the fried ham calzones while I had the fried pepperoni calzone. I mean, WOW!!! These calzones are on completely different level. That crispy golden shell on the outside with all that hot, cheesy, savory filling inside... every bite was rich, flavorful, and just straight up addictive You get that crunch first, then the melty goodness hits--game over. And then to finish it all off... the fried zeppoles A full dozen of warm, soft, pillowy perfection dusted just right. Light, fluffy, and the perfect sweet ending to an already incredible meal. Nothing beats watching an old man reliving his childhood days shaking the bag of Zeppoles with a smile bigger than the calzone! Everything came out hot, fresh, and clearly made with care. This isn't just good food--it's the kind of spot that makes you stop mid-bite and say "nah... this is DIFFERENT." Let me NOT forget, it was so good we ordered a whole pie to take home with us, 1/2 Pepperoni 1/2 Plajn. I'll definitely be back... and next time, I might just order double
