9 I’d go back to. My verdict on every one, and the ones nearby from my other lists.

1

Roberta's

RestaurantWilliamsburg
Worth it
Roberta's
  • Address6 Grand St, Brooklyn, NY 11249

Good to know Not sold by the slice, sit-down dining available, wood-fired pizza

The wood fired pizza at Roberta’s is made in an oven that churns out thousands of pies a week. The pizza. Crust is expertly charred and the Bee Sting pie is the perfect union of flavors (tomato, mozzarella, sopressata, chili, basil, honey). The Little Stinker hit the spot too.

With its new location in Domino Park, grabbing a pie from one of the greatest pizza spots in Williamsburg just became a lot easier. Honestly, if this blog exists for the sole purpose of telling you (dear reader) about Roberta’s Pizza then it’s completely worth the effort.

Fini Pizza
  • Address305 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211

Good to know Full pies and slices available, small menu

Fini, the Williamsburg pizzeria connected to the owners of Lilia and Misi, generated significant anticipation upon its summer 2022 opening. Despite the initial challenge of long lines due to its small location, Fini not only survived but thrived.

Offering a small menu of around six slices, Fini is celebrated for serving some of the best pizza in Williamsburg. Notable slices include the Long Pepper Shallot for spice lovers and the white slice, featuring a really good blend of fontina, parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses.

L'industrie Pizzeria

RestaurantWilliamsburg
Worth it
L'industrie Pizzeria
  • Address254 S 2nd St, Brooklyn, NY 11211

Good to know 1+ hour wait, full pies and slices available

Relatively young, having debuted in 2017, L’Industrie rose to fame very quickly with some of the best pizza in Williamsburg. The pizza shop had to relocate due to their increasing popularity, which was evidence of their own success.

Notable endorsements from NYC figures like Lil Mo Mozzarella and Action Bronson, who claim it to be the best pizza in the city, contributed to their cult following. But even though celebrities bring people in, the pizza is what keeps folks coming back. As far as I’m concerned, the burrata slice is non-negotiable.

Ace's Pizza

Among NYC’s Detroit-style pizza joints, Ace’s is a notable one. The expertly prepared dough offers a perfect mix of crispiness and chewiness, generously loaded with toppings for a flavor-packed bite. The shop’s retro decor gives off a ’90s high school hangout vibe, complete with arcade games to enjoy while waiting for your Williamsburg pizza masterpiece.

For a memorable experience, go for the meaty options, especially the classic pepperoni with its perfectly broiled cups. The crust’s crunch is unforgettable. Even if you’re not a thick-crust fan, Ace’s Pizza is a must-try in Williamsburg – it’s some of the best, and it might just change your mind!

  • SubwayL to Bedford Av, 5 min
  • Address374 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211

Good to know Multiple slice-style options, full pies and slices available

Since its grand opening in 1975, Rosa’s Pizza, a cherished establishment in Williamsburg, offers a varied menu to satisfy every palate. Those with dietary restrictions are not overlooked either – Rosa’s offers not one but two gluten-free options for you to choose from.

And before you write this place off for juggling too many pies, do yourself a favor and try it first. I’d argue Rosa’s serves the best Sicilian-style slice in all of Brooklyn. Adding to its uniqueness, Rosa’s is one of the select pizza spots in Williamsburg offering pasta pizza.

The joint is super popular for the rigatoni vodka slice and the ravioli slice. Both of which are made with real pasta topped on a delicious blanket of cheese, dough and baked to perfection.

Williamsburg Pizza

  • Address265 Union Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211

Good to know Not sold by the slice, thicker crust pizza, customizable options

With friendly staff and a welcoming feel, Williamsburg Pizza is a go-to for classic NYC slices in Brooklyn. Craving a crispy crust? This your spot. The greasy goodness melts in your mouth, and the crust adds a really good texture. If you prefer a thicker crust, order the grandma square-style pizza. And don’t forget the garlic knots – they may look like cinnamon buns but deliver a flavorful punch of garlic that deserves some love.

Worth it
  • SubwayJ, M, Z to Marcy Av, 5 min
  • Address123 Havemeyer St, Brooklyn, NY 11211

Good to know Not sold by the slice, great cocktails, accepts reservations

Leo’s has made our list of best pizza in Williamsburg for many reasons, the most important being that the pizzas are made with sourdough.

The Williamsburg Pizza joint has a menu full of pastas, pies and even steak frites, all of which have been perfected. Leo’s is also one of the few pizza spots in the neighborhood that takes reservations, so make sure to plan ahead and snag a table.

Of all the pies offered at Leo’s I find myself coming back to the classic NY Slice Pie over and over again. Call it comfort or familiarity, I call it downright delicious! Made with Mozzarella, Provolone, Garlic, Oregano, Chili and Pecorino, you’ll be sad you didn’t order two.
