    Delivery holds up the tasty crispy goodness. Try the pickled veggies and add pepperoni. Yum. Also can never go wrong with a slice of the seasonal veg - thats 2 veg tips from a carnivore. Best!

    For Best Pizza's Pickled Vegetable Pie, onions, fennel, broccoli, sprouts, and cauliflower all get the brine treatment before being generously deposited on top of a pizza.

    The white pizza with caramelized onions has a sesame seed crust which I've never seen before and is delicious. Also must try the pickled vegetable pizza, chicken parm and meatball subs.

    Essential stop in Brooklyn! These guys know what they're doing: huge brick oven and thin and crispy pies. You need to try meatballs as a topping. NYC pizza doesn't get better than this.

    One of our favorite pizzerias in NY, Best Pizza churns out wonderful slices from their wood-fired brick oven.

    The white slice is to die for. I normally don’t like white pizza but this one is absolutely amazing.

    With a name like Best Pizza there is a lot on the line. While the cheese pizza is decent, the show stopper is the white slice. It's got delicious caramelized onions and a sesame seed lined crust.

    A different superlative slice for every occasion: best grandma in the burg, seasonal veggie square, sesame white... And those heroes; eggplant is a revelation (not fried! so good!)

    great slice joint. Pricey, but that fresh basil leaf on every slice makes it so worth it. Also, if you order a whole pie eat the whole thing as it turns into cardboard by morning. No joke.

    Best Pizza offers a killer meatball sub: the meatballs themselves are a mixture of Pat La Frieda short rib, spices and herbs, pecorino Romano, and ricotta.

    Very tasty pizza made with fresh, good quality ingredients. The basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes all taste great, and the slices have just the right amount of crisp!

    Great NY style cheese slice. Crispy, full of flavor, perfect ratio of cheese, and crust with amazingly complex flavor. Garnished with a lone basil leaf, this is not one to miss.

    If you like Brooklyn thin crust, this really is one of the best options out there. Their mastery of bready goodness translates to the sandwiches too!

    Ok, this was pretty damn good pizza. Got the cheese slice and it was up there with some of the better pizzas I have had with no flop, good ingredient ratio and a solid crust. Good for a quick bite.

    Great slice joint. Good vibes and tunes inside. Standard slices a tad chewier than my favs but def a standout spot. Grandma slices are good: not too thick

    White pie - Collab between Brooklyn Star and a Roberta's alum is the next evolution of the NY slice joint ... from the sesame seeds sprinkled on the white pie, to cuts of pepperoni, ...

    I never imagined it to be so hard to find a decent slice in BK. The grandma slice here is really, really good. A little expensive but seems worth it. Oh and they play great music.

    If you call yourself "Best" pizza, you'd better walk the walk, too. This place doesn't just walk, it struts. They truly have a consistently great slice.

    Very casual spot, with "plate art" on the walls. The white slice with Caramelized onions is good, and not as heavy as some other white pizzas.

    Actually the best pizza ever. Ask for a recommendation from the staff, and get marinara sauce on the side to dip your crust in.

    Does it live up to the name? You bet. Pickled veggie slices (eat in only) topped with creme fraîche are incredible. So is the customer side keg.

    By far the best slice I've had in Williamsburg. For something different go to Vinnie's, but if you you just want good pizza this is the place

    A pizza of record anywhere in the world, served with a side of classic gangsta rap. The dudes who work here are rad. Everything has basically been nailed.
