I really liked this place! The restaurant is huge inside and outside open space. So nice and you can enjoy some summer time with big tv screens. However, the mid-day menu and after 5pm dinner menu is a huge difference- You just be aware of it! I honestly have been really recommend this place but they change the menu often. Last time they omitted cheese plates which was so sad because was so good with salami's and wines. They often switch it for seasonal reasons. I wish they can bring some mushroom pizza!

had some crazy pizzas in there. The clam joint was bussin . Ambiance was low light clean vibes. Service was on super point, can't remember the servers name but he's the tall dude w/ the long black hair. forgive me

I love Roberta's. This was my first time eating and hanging out in their beer garden- it's way bigger than I anticipated. Fire Oven Pizzas delicious Italian food and nice cocktails :) This event was a lot of fun Grillo's Pickles had a live band and a skateboarding competition earlier in the afternoon. We got to try the Pickle Beer Service at Roberta's is always good and fine- nothing to write home about and nothing egregious

I came to Roberta's for a line dance night and could not have had a better time. There is so much space outside to dance and as the night settled in, the string lights brought an intimate ambiance. The pizza was also fantastic. Sorry NYC but I prefer this Neapolitan style pizza with the chewy crust over the NYC crispy bottom slices. Despite the heavy crowd from the event, the service was quick. Had a great time and look forward to the next event

Focaccia

As someone who first went to Roberta's years ago when it was in the prime of its hype and just went again recently... honestly, I think it lives up to the hype. Now that the craze has died down, it's easy to get a table and have a great meal. Our server was friendly and conversational, and food came out at a good pace. Absolutely loved the focaccia. The carbonara was really delicious, and so was the waingro pizza. Left feeling satisfied! Since you can get Roberta's online now, at the supermarket, etc. it maybe doesn't have the same spark, but I still feel like it's a worthwhile and consistent experience.

Very cute pizza place! They have benches set up where you will share with another small group but honestly was a good time! It's hip and a great date place. The service is nice and friendly. Unlike other NYC places, they don't rush you. They also have a tiki bar next door decorated for Christmas which was cool. Now the food was great! The sour dough and Stracciatella are the stars! First you HAVE TO order the Stracciatella. It melts in your mouth and made both the loaf and pizza taste better! The sour dough pizza was excellent! I wish the fiore had the tomato sauce since it could be a little dry to the mouth but you can tell the dough and cheeses are homemade. It felt lighter on the stomach and between the vibes, food, and service I'd easily come back!

Had to try this neighborhood pizza spot while I was in Brooklyn yesterday. The vibe in here is really chill. The service was outstanding, everyone was incredibly friendly and efficient. I had my food within 15 minutes of ordering. Speaking of- I ordered the famous original and a cocktail the Julio something...damn my memory . They were both delicious though! I also ordered a mezcal Negroni (not pictured) which was also delightful. The pizza flavor was out of this world. I think they're serious about the NY water, it's just a superior taste. Love the thin crust underneath the cheese and the tomatoey flavor with the garlic. All in all I had a great experience here, I just went yesterday and I'm already thinking of my next trip back! Hope this helps!

Really good pizza, okay service. Let's start with the pizza! We ordered a guanciale and egg pizza - the guanciale was good (albeit maybe a bit tough to bite through the size of the pieces) and we liked the cheese blend they used. Flavor of the crust was solid too. Not much structural integrity to the pie, though to be fair I wasn't expecting that here. Pretty sure that they had forgotten to put our pizza order in though, because other tables that arrived after us received their pizzas before we did, and when we asked, we were told "They just put it in the oven." Also, they'd gotten our drink order incorrect. All in all, solid pizza, but not sure if I'm rushing back.

The Beastmaster - my favourite personal pie ever!

It's been so long since I went to Roberta's, and its pizza has stood the test of time. The crust is perfect with a sourdough tang and the tomato sauce has a deep tomato taste. It's a little pricy and they now have fairly basic pizzas on the menu with the options to add various toppings to them. Meat toppings are five bucks and I think the veg ones were 3 dollars it's easy to rack the bill up. I didn't think the add on was worth the cost as I had very little sausage for $5 and the basic pizza was tasty enough already. It used to be hard to get a table but we came midweek at around 1.30 and walked straight in, our server was friendly but we do have to wait a while for the bill. I'm giving it 5 stars because the pizza really is iconic, I'd stop by again when I'm in the neighborhood but probably wouldn't make a special trip out here. PS the pizza here is way better than in the Williamsburg Domino Park branch.

Roberta's is a somewhat popular pizza place in Bushwick, Brooklyn. They are known for their wood oven style and for the place having a hipster design. For example, the outside of the place is purposely covered in graffiti. I went for the Margherita pizza so I could have a standard one to compare with other pizzerias. One of their popular flavors is the Bee Sting which has chili and honey. In terms of their pizza, the pies are not that big and can be easily eaten by one person (or shared by two with a smaller appetite). The pizza was also just okay for me. They have Neapolitan style pizza. Therefore, the pizza was very light on the cheese and sauce and was mostly just crust. Some people may enjoy this more than me, but it was just okay for my tastes.

Great service. Quite a big menu---than what I expected. People are very nice and everything is very low key. Bee sting has pepperoni and hot honey and is my version of a salted caramel cookie but in a pizza form. We added jalapeños on it so don't worry if you are afraid it being spicy

Fantastic experience! My kids officially ranked the burgers in their top 10, which says a lot because they take burger ratings very seriously . The real game changer was the pizza oven. You can absolutely taste the difference. Fresh, flavorful, and worth it. Great food, great atmosphere, and a place we'd gladly come back to again!

I have been meaning to try Roberta's for sometime, but didn't get a chance to until recently when I was in the neighborhood. This place is such a vibe! When you walk in, you're immediately hit with their ambience, red lighting, and some of the most delicious smells. You can imagine. They ask that if your entire party is not here yet to sit at the bar in the back. I ended up doing so as I was waiting on someone and was greeted by the friendly bartender who showed me they are non-alcoholic options. I ordered One of the non-alcoholic drinks, which was probably one of the best ones. I've tried this month. The bar area itself was lively, and I very much enjoyed interacting with the guests seated around me. For an appetizer, I ordered a dish that looked seasonal, a chicken liver mousse pate that was served with deliciously crispy bread and tart cherry tomatoes. Once my friend arrived, everyone made room and we enjoyed the classic original pie. One thing I really want to note is that this pizza is perfect for a single person. You can obviously share it, but don't feel bad about indulging in an entire pie to yourself because this pizza is not greasy, and the dough leaves feeling nourished, rather than bloated. This pie comes served with a bottle of their spicy chili oil on the side and man the stuff is spicy. The staff at this place is polite, engaging, and thoughtful, and the food is just as fantastic. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of their menu as they have so many items aside from their delicious pies. What a great spot!

The dough is amazing, lives up to its reputation for being crisp, yet airy, and great flavor. We actually tried every slice they make! After all, we take our pizza crawls seriously!

I really enjoy the variety on the menu and the non classic choices they offer, but it's not somewhere I'll be craving or going out of my way to come back and try more. Lines moved quickly and service was friendly, but the overall flow felt a little off. Orders were being taken faster than pizzas were coming out, and by the time people got their food, there weren't enough clean tables to sit and eat. Saw people waiting around with their pizzas, which by then were probably getting cold. The whole experience could be better but didn't really hit the spot.

Arriving at 2 PM to stand in a line for two hours just to get on a list for a 7 PM seating doesn't make the place feel exclusive, it makes it feel like a punishment. But hey, we got a table, so the sacrifice was supposed to be worth it. It wasn't. Lucali is BYOB, which is fine in theory. My party brought two bottles of prosecco, fully prepared for a cozy, rustic evening. The server kindly offered to pop the first bottle, then brought out our glassware: heavy, standard water glasses, fresh out of the commercial dishwasher and literally piping hot. There is a special kind of absurdity in pouring crisp, ice-cold prosecco into a glass that feels like it was just pulled from the depths of hell. To top it off, nobody offered to keep our second bottle chilled. Minor detail, sure, but for a place with this level of cult status, the low-effort service immediately set the tone. To give credit where it's due, the ambiance is legitimately cool. It's dimly lit, atmospheric, and feels like step-back-in-time Brooklyn kitchen. Watching the pizza makers roll out dough using empty wine bottles before shoving them into the roaring brick oven gives off that warm, "Nonna's kitchen" charm. You want to love it. Then the food arrives, and the illusion shatters. Our server gave us the bare minimum rundown: "We have pizza, calzones, and tonight's special pasta." Zero detail, zero enthusiasm. We ordered the pizza and the calzone. The pizza was... fine. Completely fine. But calling this the best pizza in New York feels like collective mass delusion. If you've been to L'Industrie or Mama's Too, Lucali isn't even in the same stratosphere. Then came the calzone, which was allegedly stuffed with five cheeses. The server proudly named four, withholding the fifth as a "secret ingredient." A mystery cheese angle might be fun if the calzone blew your mind, but by the time I took a bite, the gimmick just felt tired. It was a perfectly average calzone wrapped in high-end gatekeeping. The grand finale, however, was the absolute kicker. Just under an hour into our meal, after overhearing the hostess realize she'd botched the table rotation, our server came over with an update: they had overbooked and needed our table. Her gracious solution? "You're welcome to pour the rest of your prosecco into your glasses and finish it outside!" The remaining, warm, prosecco that is... Let's recap the math: two hours waiting on a sidewalk at 2 PM, five hours of waiting for the reservation time, warm glasses for cold bubbles, middle-of-the-road pizza, and a boot out the door in under sixty minutes because they messed up their own seating chart. Disgraceful hospitality masked as old-school Brooklyn charm. If you love mediocre food, lukewarm prosecco in burning hot glassware, and being rushed out to the curb, Lucali is waiting for you. As for me, I won't be back.

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!

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.

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.
