Walk among the factories and warehouses in this region of Bushwick, past more than a few ancient breweries, and feel like you're in the late 19th century. Smell smoke, and go through a badly marked and unprepossessing door, and you're in one of Brooklyn's best restaurants - a wood burning pizza spot that supplements a simple list of pies using premium ingredients with killer daily specials. From those specials we especially dug the bruschetti of lardo and ramps, and a deceptively simple dish of perfectly grilled asparagus garnished with pecorino and ham. Stupendous! In true Naples style, the crusty and mellow personal-size pizzas are prefect in every way. And it's BYOB!
Late afternoon on summer Sundays last year, a crowd packed in to the Crown Victoria's expansive, sun-drenched Williamsburg backyard. Friends nursed beers at picnic tables and, perhaps, partook in a ga... More »

By now, everyone's heard of Roberta's Pizza in Bushwick. Even the Clintons stopped by for a bite last September. The pizzas, made in a wood-burning oven, feature delectable toppings like house-made po... More »
Congratulations to JonDoe, who was the first to correctly guess that I was eating at Roberta's in Bushwick. The kale pizza was dotted with thick dollops of ricotta cheese that melted into the slightl... More »
Last Friday night, a waitress at Roberta's recognized what was to be her last day at the restaurant by serving (almost completely) naked. With the words "PEACE OUT" scribbled across her bare back, the... More »
Once upon a time, Tiki Disco was a DJ's secret. Located in the backyard of Roberta's, a short walk from the Morgan L stop in the then even less-gentrified neighborhood of Bushwick, it was a place to munch on some pie and dance to tunes served up by residents Eli Escobar, Andy Pry, and Lloydski. These days, the party has become almost common knowledge--show up late, and you'll face a line that stretches down the block--but it's no worse for it: This season, the trio found a second... More »
Naples-style pizza is the fad that won't go away. And who can blame us? While New York pizzas were traditionally humongous contraptions scaled to feed several people at once per pie at the lowest possible cost, the Naples version generally feeds a single person, and sometimes none too well. Moreover, the "true pie of Naples" is almost unbelievably bland. At worst, it's a restaurateur's conspiracy to sell you less pizza for more money. Still, we find many of these pies delicious, including... More »
Robert Sietsema: While this distinction is usually awarded to one of the more venerable parlors in town--Lombardi's or Di Fara, say--I was blown away by the wood-oven pies at newcomer Roberta's, located so obscurely that you'll be Googling as you go. Made with dough that rises high but doesn't taste yeasty, the personal-size pies turn out smoky, crusty, cheesy, and beyond excellent.Sarah DiGregorio: I love Di Fara, but who has the time? Instead, call up Luigi's and order a fresh-moz... More »
