    Best Pizza definitely lived up to the hype! Heard great things about this place and decided to check it out while I was in Williamsburg. The white slice was pretty fire with the sesame crust and the caramelized onions. Crust was thin and crunchy with just a bit of a chew. Almost felt like a bialy, but better. Definitely one of the best white slices in NYC!! The pepperoni was overheat by a tad but still solid. The pepperoni cuts were huge, sauce wasn't too sweet, and ratio of ingredients were appropriate. Several tables on the inside with some outdoor seating. Food came out quick despite the constant flow of customers.

    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.

    Emails

    Seen an ad on Craigslist for an open position? I was sent an email regarding the position!! Was told that I had an interview at 4pm- got there at the time I was scheduled and was told to wait? 45 mins the boss is in a meeting!! The BOSS WAS A NO CALL NO SHOW! Came all the way from Harlem for you not even to ask my name??????

    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.

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

    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

    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 !

    " 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!

    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.

This place is always packed. It's practically a given that you'll see a line outside, people waiting patiently for a table. Their pizzas come in personal, medium, and large, which I love--there's a size for whatever mood you're in, whether you're sharing or just craving your own. We shared the 4 slice personal since we've been grazing all day. The atmosphere is busy and noisy in that classic, charming way. Staff move fast, weaving through tables with hot pies and big energy. I've tried the pasta once with a friend, but honestly, when I come here, I'm here for the pizza. And the pizza really is the star: great crust, tangy sauce, and that generous layer of fresh mozzarella that makes their Margherita--my go‑to--so good every single time. In a neighborhood saturated with pizzerias, Juliana's still stands out. If you appreciate excellent pizza, you have to give this place a try. It's just good stuff.

Waiting in line to get added to a waitlist that still doesn't always guarantee you will sit down to eat at the requested time - we were seated 40 mins after checking in (unusually long, never had more then 20 mins or so in past visits) but still a strange system, keeps the spot exclusive I'd guess. Have visited several times and always have had a good meal and the prices are very fair. Seating is not super comfortable and they pack you in for real, the restaurant is also unnecessarily dark and loud - But not in a bad way? I can't explain it but the very delicious pizza makes up for the weird ambiance and all the rules... definitely something to experience atleast once.

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.
