    Extremely unique spot to grab a slice of Kosher pie, and soak in the culture that is Borough Park. Pizza crust has a crunch I have not experienced any where else in the world! Delivering high quality food for 50 years from the same location, this establishment is still dishing out it's unique recipes for pizza, ziti, and pita. "What do you want to eat? What will you have to drink?" The cashier, pointing to the cans of pop - "You want Coke, which one? Ok, NEXT!" LOL what a fun, true New York experience. I was a big fan of the pizza - but do not be a silly gentile like me and ask for pepperoni (aye, meshuga, I know)... This is a KOSHER pizza shop, so no meat on cheese, and certainly no pork.

    My boyfriend and I saw this place in a YouTube video and it looked really good. We came to visit NYC from Las Vegas and we came to try it today. It is very hard to find good pizza anywhere that's not NYC. This has to be the best pizza I've ever tried. The crust and sauce were the best part. I don't eat very large portions but I wanted another slice after I tried my first! Thank you mendelsohn's

    Heshy the owner is one of the nicest guys I've ever met :) He puts his heart and soul into his restaurant. Great people and very delicious food!

    Pasta shells with eggplant marinara

    I found myself in the nabe again today at lunch and popped in. I then realized this not a pizza joint but more like a midtown Manhattan lunch buffet type of place. There's a salad bar where they make your greens to order. A sushi bar (small). An ice cream counter. Then there's a 100 ft. of glass displays divided into 3 main sections: pizza, hot dishes and sides (pastas, mashed veggies, etc). I had a nice, big piece of salmon, a heaping side of pasta and a drink for $10. They aren't cranking out the best of anything, but they are cranking out huge portions of pretty good food. Especially when you consider there is little good food in this area. Really. You can go a pretty good distance in any direction and only find a few places doing a few things right. This place, on the other hand, is huge and ambitious. That said, I'm not sure if I'd bring a dinner date here as it's kinda "serve yourself." Likewise, it caters to a Kosher/Hasidic crowd so I'm still not entirely sure what is served and not. In particular, I've yet to meet a meat (bit maybe they are hidden). For veg-heads, this should be a happy place.

    Whole wheat pizza with mushrooms.
    Donna P.

    Stoped in here to meet a client as this place is apparently known for having wholewheat pizza and abundant amount of space to sit. Was it a whole wheat? Absolutely, because it had that distinctive whole wheat flavour that is not mixed with anything else. Was it tasty? It wasn't bad...but it did not have a pizza flavour. It broke when I tried to pic it up since it had no flex to it. The mushrooms were huge, which was tasty, but it was impossible to eat it with your hands. The bottom of the dough was crisp which made it impossible to cut with the flimsy plastic knife. I found myself struggling more than enjoying. The place is clean, and service is friendly. There is a lot of sitting room. A slice of whole wheat pizza with mushrooms was $5. Would I stop by again? If you're the area than this is one of the better options for pizza. They also have a hot food bar and a salad bar. Why did I give it 4 stars? Because who really makes whole wheat pizza that is palatable. This place actually does it.

    Some of there side items to go with the salmon!
    Chris M.

    Great spot!! .the salmon and a huge side for just ten bucks! Good quality and variety. Although not a place to bring a new date. Lots if kids. But great food and pizza. I like it!

    Nothing better than pizza and milkshake for lunch!!

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. Great Vibe here If you come to Brooklyn and you want great pizza, you need to try this place. This place is absolutely awesome.

I spotted Gio and his team busy pulling fresh pies out of the oven. I ordered a Grandma slice, a white slice, and my son went for a pepperoni slice. It's a cash-only place, and my order was ready in about ten minutes. The Grandma slice was quite dense, with a cracker-like crust. It tasted okay, but I wasn't sold on it and ended up leaving it in the box. The white slice was a bit better--with a crispy crust and a strong garlic flavor I really enjoyed. My son said his pepperoni slice was alright, nothing extraordinary. The service was friendly, and I'm glad I finally got to try one of New York's iconic pizza spots.

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.

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.
