Roebling Pizza is an owner-operated pizzeria slinging a fine selection of slices and pizza pies in Williamsburg. the interior is well-maintained and welcoming--it is a small space with a limited number of seats. Roebling Pizza is very much a neighborhood pizza spot and isn't pretending to be anything else. you can rest assured the pizza here is good bc the pizza is for the people who live in the area...it is NOT relying on gimmicks, empty social media / influencer antics, and other forms of trickery to create illusions of grandeur. stopped in here and thoroughly enjoyed a plain cheese slice. the pizza is a cross between a classic NYC pizza and Neapolitan pizza. my slice was served hot--and did not disappoint. the airy crust was thinnish but firm with some chew and crunch. this crust is where it's at! a good layer of flavorful of sauce--that has careful balance of savory seasoning with a touch of a sweetness. the mozzarella cheese is nice and melty without being thick or stodgy. the pizza is a definitely made with quality ingredients---how do I know? because quality ingredients have simple flavors that really sing through and that you can taste in each bite. also quality ingredients don't give you a food hangover post-eating...which is a win in my book. plain cheese slice, $3 + tip the staff is friendly and passionate about pizza. had a chance to chat with the owner who makes the pizza dough from scratch, and his hard work shows in how good the pizza turns out. the pizza here is a result of honest hard work and great artisan craft in the form of delicious eats. drops mic cuz pizza is life I out zzz read more

I am a native in this neighborhood and this location has always been a pizza store. I must say the flavor of the dough is amazing. It doesn't need any condiments. In my opinion. The owner is super friendly and polite and cares about his business. He engages with his customers, and he also likes to think outside the box when it comes to flavors if you're looking for some good pizza and you're ever in Williamsburg stop by here. read more

A good cheese slice for $2.75! Service is good and you won't wait long for your pizza. I was so excited when I heard a crunch after taking the first bite. The bottom was crispy so the slice wasn't floppy when I held it. I sometimes go home and heat up my pizza to achieve this kind of crunch but I didn't have to with this one. There's oregano, garlic powder and chili flakes you can add to taste. read more

The best pizza in NYC. Joes pizza is grey, until you try regular cheese or vegetarian slice at Roebling. I come by often to get one or two slices and I am coming back. All the time. I'm not a huge food reviewer, and I don't think there is a lot to improvise when making pizza, but Roebling makes some magic: the flavor, ingredients, crust. It just melts in the mouth and make me crave it. read more

This little pizza spot is a gem. It is a hole in the wall. My kid and I like it, a lot. The owner is friendly and gives off this good energy. He looks like he loves what he does. You know what they say about food prepared with love; it is great! Even though the place is tiny, we always choose to stay and eat here. Pizza should not go into a box and carried out. That is my opinion. The pizza is just right. Not too thin or thick. Just the right amount of cheese and sauce. It is not like those soft, sloppy slices that you get at some places. I eat the crust here; I rarely eat the crust. We usually get two plain cheese slices, and I will get one with pineapples, mushrooms, and black olives. If you are in the area and, want to eat delicious pizza. Come here; it will not disappoint. -Toppins are 0.50 cents each. -They take cash and credit cards. read more

My best friend and I love NY. We come out from CA 2-3 times a year and have had our fair share of pizza. We stumbled upon this sweet little spot (late night/after a huge meal earlier in the evening). We couldn't get enough of this pizza. He had 3 slices, I had 2- the simple cheese is just amazing. Flavor, texture, phenomenal crust- this place has it all. The also have an amazing hot/wing sauce that we smothered our slices with (so good!!). On top of all of these wonderful things, the owner and the blonde gal working the counter were so extremely kind and friendly. Do yourself (and your taste buds) a favor and try this place.

I've ordered a lottttt of pies from many different pizzerias while living here in the Bedstuy/Bushwick area, so I'd like to think I have a decent idea of what a good pie should taste like. I ordered delivery a couple of days ago, specifically a large pepperoni pie. The delivery was on time, which is always a good start. The annoying thing about delivery is that the cardboard box makes the crust a little less crunchy, unfortunately. But you can always tell when a pie was made right, even if it isn't super crispy out of the box (courtesy of the cardboard). This pie made the list for good crust, that's for sure. You could just tell. The cheese was dope too, can't lie. Great taste. Pepperoni was also pretty darn good. I've had better, but this one was definitely adequate. The pie was quite large too. Can't go wrong with that. If you're considering ordering from here, I def recommend. You'll like it. read more

Ordered an 18" regular pie. Overall it was good pizza, I usually like my pizza's bottom somewhat hard and not flimsy where you can hold the pizza up with one hand to eat but the soft chewy dough was pretty good as well. Cheese was the chewy kind but I was surprised by the taste of the tomato sauce, really enjoyed it. Only gripe, which isn't their fault but the delivery could of been better. The pizza was shifted all the way to one side so the pizza came out squished and not laid flat when received. Maybe a center piece holder would help that issue. read more

Rolled in here after an epic boosted board skate which found me venturing from midtown east (conveniently located on the isle of manhattan) into bk over the Williamsburg bridge. After my feet had taken a pounding my compatriot (a fellow boosted boarder who is kind of big in the skating scene - actually, he's not at all but for the story it makes it somewhat more entertaining) and I popped in here for a couple of slices and to charge our boards for our epic skate back into arguably the epicenter of the world via the Williamsburg bridge. We needed something of substance.... something that would wow our bellies. I was growing tired of the petty screams bellowing from my umbilicus (I know that's not how medicine works but my belly button essentially acts as a speaker for my inner hunger). As i listened closely it said 'I'm fucking hungry, bro.' Word? I knew what had to be done. Two slices. Straight to the dome. My not-so-famous compatriot polished off two slices himself and we charged our boards for the better part of an hour. The staff were kind and were super chill with our presence. I arrived home and didn't feel the need to empty my bowels immediately. I thought to myself 'great success.' Another night, another reason why nyc is special. And I thank you, pizza purveyors, for making my night lovely. Cheers to the world! read more

Roebling Pizza is BY FAR the best pizza in the neighborhood and I love that you can order by the slice and add your own toppings. The sauce is perfect (not too sweet, not too acidic), the cheese is rich without being greasy, and all the toppings are super fresh. The people who run it are incredibly nice. Whenever I go out of town, grabbing a slice, especially on a cold night is one of the things I actively look forward to about coming home. A must try! *I literally activated my Yelp so I could write about what an amazing find this place is!

I judge all New York pizza against Joe's in the West Village, which sets a high bar. The slices I got here do not come close to measuring up, but were still fairly serviceable, i.e., better than one of the dollar-slice places everywhere in Manhattan. Came in around 1pm on a weekday. Pizzeria was empty. Two full pies were on the counter - one plain cheese, one pepperoni - so I got one slice of each, figuring at that time of day, they were probably both freshly made. The dough, though thin, was visibly undercooked and therefore lacked that desireable mix of crispiness and chewiness. On top of that, the cheese-to-sauce ratio heavily favored the cheese. First, couldn't really taste the sauce at all. Second, lots of cheese = too much grease. Third, between the weight of the cheese and the extra grease, it only added to the plight of the thin, undercooked crust. The result, a sad, droopy bland slice. But at least it didn't taste like canned tomato paste and cornstarch, right? read more

Here's makes the difference: Think about the pizza slices in other shops... How long do you think it takes to finish an entire sausage and broccoli pie? Would even 3 hours be enough to finish off a garden pie? How long does it take those pepperonis to start curling upwards? They make the pizza one pie at a time here. The chef puts toppings on each slice - to order. That is what is remarkable here. That's what the difference is. The owners and staff are passionate about keeping integrity in their pizza. Love is everything for food. It's here. Excellent hot dogs too. Opened: 1960 Distinction: One pie at a time read more

Went back as I was in the neighborhood. Though it should be the other way around. Go to Roebling, then explore the area. Or just spend some time in the small, yet airy space yapping with Marc. The slices are thicker, and may fill you faster, but they do not fall into that chewy, doughy trap. The bottom is crispy but not burnt, crunchy and crackly, but not like a saltine cracker. The crust itself has a delicious flavor that my elementary palate describes as buttery or brushed with good oilve oil, but Marc assures me otherwise. There's more cheese, and a layer of tomato sauce that keep the balance of the slice. In other words, *Roebling is making bigger, fuller slices of pizza*. At a time when skimping, shrinking and shortcuts are all the rage, anyone who works to reverse that trend gets major credit in my book. Looking forward to more excuses for being in the area. read more

Dom has now passed but his legacy continues. I've always compared the then pie vs now. And like most things,, nothing beats the original. This is still a very good slice. I once rated them as the best in NYC. Unfortunately, its not at the very top but still on the podium. Coming back feels like you are saying hello to an old friend. If you haven't been, you have to try at least once.

I think this is what Detroit pizza should taste like (haven't been to MI) but it's one of my favorite types of pizza besides classic NY or Sicilian. They have a variety of flavors and various sizes including personal to large. The prices are reasonable and portions are filling. I went on a busy Friday night for take out and the host was great. She got me set up and ready within 10 minutes. The shop was busy at 11pm to closing and everyone looked like they were having a good time. It's a bar pizza shop in the heart of Williamsburg. Accepts cash, card and Applepay. Open late! Indoor seating and takeout available. I think outdoor seating is available as well.

It has become my go-to whether I'm fueling up before a night out or attempting to resurrect myself the day after. The food comes out quick and consistently punches above its weight,easily some of the best in its class. The staff are super friendly and nail that perfect balance between attentive and laid-back, which fits right in with the spot's chill 90s vibe. And do yourself a favor, order the root beer. It comes in a frozen mug and is probably the most uplifting thing you'll ever put in your mouth. Fair warning:,the place gets packed, If you can make a reservation.

The owner even stopped to have a chat with me which as busy as it was I'm sure he really didn't have to. All the videos you see online about how great a person he is really is true.

The regular slice was perfectly crisp with a nice sauce. But that grandma slice was on another level probably the best grandma slice I've ever had that's should mean something growing up in NYC and eating eating pizza all over since I was a kid. If I'm ever in Brooklyn in the area of Luigi's I'm definitely headed back.

On my most recent visit, a whole fresh plain pizza pie for still only $22.75 is insane. Best price for a pie in NYC, not counting all the dollar slice stores since they make shit pizza. We ordered a whole pie half plain and half pepperoni, which is only $2.50 more. What I notice right away is the zesty tomato sauce, which Has love. However, I must admit that the crust was a bit too hard for my taste. Yes! It was crispy, but biting through it was somewhat difficult. Overall a good slice, but maybe the dough was off a bit that day. Regardless, Luigi's Pizza is an institution and I will be back again next time I'm in the area. Hopefully, I get a great slice like the ones I remember from the past.

The…read morecheese is under the sauce here so some bites you are wondering is that cheese or slightly undercooked dough. Just fantastic. Up there with Frank Pepe's, Lucali's and O'Scugnizzo Pizzeria in Utica as my favorite pizza joints. There is heart and soul in this pizza, and history. I could eat this pizza literally 100 times. Is it a 'classic New York slice?' No. Is it absolutely outstanding? Yes.

You want old school NYC Sicilian Pizza? Come here…read more You want fresh Spumoni? Come here. Sometimes you park close, sometimes you don't. You can eat there, go to the park, or take it home. This is where I go when I want these things. No longer living in NY, it's an hour+ trip, but always worth it. Many pizzas do not reheat well due to rubbish cheese- not L&B- pop it in the oven around 400°F, and let it crisp back up! Also- the Spumoni- it keeps at a nice consistency in the freezer, unlike rubbish American ice cream- which gets like a rock. The only other Spumoni I buy is from Corona. They're both phenomenal in their respective rights. When asked by non-NY'ers which pizza is my favourite- this is number one for Sicilian- not heavy at all. The crust is light, airy, and flavourful. The cheese to sauce ratio is perfect- not swimming in greasy cheap cheese. I have the same standards for Neapolitan Pizza. We can discuss that elsewhere. Please never close shop- at least let's celebrate the centenary!

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.

No smile, prob don't care since the place is overpopulated. He just took our order when we called him over and then gave us the bill. Pizza was good, we got the bee sting, portion was pretty tiny for its price and it's not the normal pizza where it holds its shape, it's a flop. Flavor was good tho and if you like thin pizza this is the one. The crust was pretty bland, table next to us didn't even eat the crust. Also got the straigatella with bread. Basically cheese and bread. The bread was the highlight of the day, better than the pizza.

Got a TGTG order here. 11/10 I'd do it again…read more Brooklyn DOP actually originated as a pandemic business where my friend's personal trainer started baking pizzas outside of his Greenwood Heights apartment. When the hype got large enough, the owner decided to start a pizzeria and the rest is not history. This is one of the more worthwhile TGTG orders to me. Their pizza is SOOO perfectly crisp and charred, and actually is one of the closest pizzas that reminds me of the famous originals in Napoli.

Overall 5/5: I am not a pizza person and don't eat dairy but wanted a nostalgic New York slice…read more This place definitely hit the spot. Expensive though, about $55 dollars for a vegan 18-inch Margherita pie with 3 toppings. Was it worth it for the experience? Yes. Would I recommend to someone who wanted to try it at least once for a good dairy-free pizza? Absolutely, I couldn't even tell this was vegan cheese. Would I get it again? Maybe (?) once in a while as a treat with price being the only barrier. Service 5/5: This was great. I came here the other day to inquire about their vegan pizza and just wanted to try a slice. The person found his manager to talk to me about this. They were super friendly and explained to me the situation. This location only sold vegan options in full pies and their other DOP Fast Life location does sell vegan slices, but they didn't try to push me to buy. I came back today and the staff today were also very welcoming. Ambiance 5/5: Rustic red brick interior with warm lighting. It was definitely bustling on a Friday night. Food 5/5: Delicious pizza. I do regret that I ate it cold after driving 30 minutes to pick it up so I did not get the full experience. But the crust was still crunchy. I do wish the toppings were a little heavier but the tomato chunks in the sauce tasted very fresh. A very classic New York style pizza and I couldn't even tell it wasn't real cheese. Vegan garlic knots were great too.

My daughter and I love Patsy's and if there is any pizza we want to get while in the city, this is a no-brainer. I love how classy and old-world the inside of this place looks. It makes you feel warm in the colder months, and refreshed in the warmer ones. The pizza always arrives still bubbling and with a beautiful undercarriage. They NEVER disappointed us and I would rather spend $200 per person here, than for the overpriced Tame Impala ticket.

Fresh mozzarella, a nicely thin crisped crust, sweet tomato sauce, and fresh basil makes this simple pizza taste great. The fried calamari also impressed. It tasted notably fresh--light, clean, and not overly chewy like pre-frozen versions can sometimes be. While I can't say for certain, it had that just-prepared quality that makes a difference. The Caprese salad was a great way to start the meal, with fresh tomatoes, creamy burrata, and a balsamic drizzle was a nice light start. The atmosphere leans old-school Italian, which adds to the charm and character. Service was fine--nothing remarkable, but no major issues either. That said, my overall rating takes a big hit solely for the restaurants ridiculous tipping policy choices rather than the food itself. The automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill was frustrating. The menu does indicate that 18%, will automatically apply, or will be 20% for parties of six or more. We were only three people, so it felt inconsistent and unnecessary. On top of that, the added cost for credit card usage didn't help. I don't mind tipping for good service! In fact, I tip well--but I prefer having the choice and I'm old school so it's the principle of the matter. Being forced into it, takes away from an otherwise enjoyable meal. Bottom line: the food is strong and worth trying, but the billing practices leave a bad taste. If those were adjusted, this could easily be a higher-rated experience.
