Cheesus Christ this place is good (actually one of their pizzas). It's the best kept secret in Williamsburg. It's a cool place with a back area with a tent and bar while you wait for seating (yes the place can be crowded). You'd miss the place unless you were using your GPS. It's just a door with a curtain, with a cement wall along the sidewalk. That's what makes it pretty cool, and hilarious bringing first time visitors. The prices are a little higher, but the pizza is outstanding. Take a friend here!

Yes, that is one of their pizzas, which is probably the best on the menu, loaded with multiple cheeses, black pepper, and honey. The place has a cool atmosphere, and the entrance literally looks like a hole in the wall. It's a giant, lively place tucked away on a dark street. There's two bars, and plenty of good beer on tap. It's a little pricey for a pizza place, so going with friends definitely eases some of the bill. It feels more like a tavern than anything, quite hipster, but still good. They're open late and deliver. This is a great place to bring someone who is visiting Brooklyn. Unique and tasty.

Sable fish, pickled onions, pumpernickel croutons, mascarpone in a salad. A flavor nod to Danish openfaced sammies but Brooklyn in design.

An oasis of culinary cool in Bushwick.. Though initially conceived as a pizzeria in a desolate part of Bushwick, Roberta's soon grew into a locus for everyone in the area who cared about food; as a result, the pizza is perhaps the least interesting thing about the place. Owner Carlo Mirarchi is constantly experimenting with the ingredients, many of which he grows in his backyard. A pork chop might come with faro and stinging nettles broth one night, and something else another. The place is a no-frills cinder box bunker, but the excitement is impossible to miss, especially among the locals--who know they've found a true hidden gem.
