PSA to Pizza Lovers: The Best Pizzeria in NYC

By: Monica Penny

Pizza is the best food to eat during any occasion. Has pizza ever come in handy in your life? The morning after a long night? Dinner on a student budget?

A row of apartments in Brooklyn, NY.

I’m Monica Penny, a college student who is a self-proclaimed pizza enthusiast. New York City has become my favourite place to have a slice. If my bank account was limitless, you would find me nestled in an apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It has a rustic charm while following modern trends and the pizza is no different.

My go-to restaurant in Brooklyn is Roberta's. It's a pizzeria that is a cluster of Brooklyn culture. I was introduced to Roberta’s when it was featured on the First We Feast series called Food Skill on YouTube.

Here are a few things to know before going to Roberta’s:

      They don't take reservations so plan to wait. The evenings are the busiest but the best time to go since the ambience is at its peak.

A queue of drinks being poured to order.

     

     If there is room at the bar, take it. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and had a blast chatting with the bartender. We bonded over the hilarious cocktail names and he generously gave us a shot of vodka complimentary.

“The Beastmaster” pizza.

     “The Beastmaster” pizza is the king of the menu. It has tomato, mozzarella, gorgonzola, pork sausage (the best sausage I've ever tasted), onion, caper and jalapeños.

            I’m warning you now, you will start dreaming about this pizza. Roberta’s redefines NYC pizza to the point where you’ll never want a dollar slice again.
