    Literally the best burger in NYC. No joke. Order a burger and a salad — perfect meal for 2.

    Flavors are big. The burger is tarted up with a bevy of reckless condiments, but could (and does) easily standalone as one of the best in town based on the quality of meat. Def get.

    Expect to wait, but there are great bars in the area to entertain yourself at for an hour or so. The Emily & The colony are musts, along with the burger! Skip the basic pizzas.

    Highly recommend splitting the burger, it is large and sweet and heavy and all too much for one human to consume. Fries are sadly quantity over quality. Excited to try the pizza

    Greasy, sweet taste with too many accents - exactly what Americans love. Burger is generously topped with sweet pepper and caramelized onion sauce, mayo with thyme. You can hardly taste the meat.

    Emily and Colony pizzas are simply to divine. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you want to guarantee a spot. Share the burger (dangerously good)

    Been here 25+ times
    One app and one pizza is perfect for two. The Melisser if you're feeling classic. The Colony if you're craving pepperoni, The Lady Pizza Girl if you're in the mood for white

    Definitely a rival to robertas -- get one of the green tomatillo pizzas: PXG. Incredible. Also, s'more calzone for dessert. Equally as amazing. Will be back.

    The Emily pizza is divine! Especially for vegetarians - they also have delicious salads year round. I've heard the Emily burger is to die for if you're a carnivore :)

    Absolutely love the Emily pizza and the vodka pizza...the bourbon cocktail drink was so good and the pretzel burger looked good!

    I said I wouldn’t get the burger because it’s $27 which is stupid. But I got the burger and it’s kinda worth it. You’re gonna spend that money anyway, right?

    The pizza is outstanding, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a conversation even if you scream due to the super loud music in a small space... When will NYC restaurants learn to let people THINK and talk?

    I’m not typically one to spend 27$ on a burger- but this one was absolutely worth it. So soft, juicy, and flavorful with excellent texture

    Everything this place touches is great: pizza, wings, burger. Space is small and service can be annoyingly Brooklyn. Wait time is long. All worth it.

    Go here. Get the Colony (sauce, peppers, pepperoni, and honey) and the PXG (tomatillo sauce and 'nduja sausage). Give Emily a hug. Don't talk to me until you do.

    As long as you are in the first seating, there will be a burger for you. It's filling, so good to share. The sop + pickled chili packs heat!

    The Emily pizza is fantastic! House red wine on tap was great, too. Reservations are a must. The place is small and very popular

    Delicious pizza and cocktails in a cozy, intimate setting. Get there before they open of you want to guarantee yourself a seat!

    Without a doubt the best burger in all of Brooklyn, probably cracks the top 5 in all of NYC. Their white pizza is also a must try.

    The perfect place to eat a meal alone: grab a seat at the bar, bring a book, order a glass of Malbec, the arugula salad, and the Lady Pizza Girl and you have a perfect night.

    They recommended one pizza per person but we found that a pizza and an app here is a perfect portion for two.

    Even though Emily is a pizzeria, you should order the burger. It's absolutely divine. I may or may not have heard angels singing when I had my first glorious bite.

    The burger was out of this world. Best burger period. I had the spotted pig earlier in the day, this puts it to shame.

    it's a pizza place but actually it's a burger place. was served a boulvadier with crushed ice which I found quite horrifying but I'll give benefit of doubt - maybe bartender just had mini stroke?

    Get an Emily, the white pie and then the standard red with buffalo mozzarella. Oh and share the duck confit! All excellent. Nicely done!!!

    The Emily burger is as good as you hope it is. Colony is my fav but I’ve never had anything that wasn’t awesome at Emily.

    Cute place. Good for the warm months b/c of the huge fire oven. Get any pizza...they all looked great. Go early.. Get crowded. Owner is cool

    There's a reason why everyone raves about the Emily. A must. Vodka pie isn't that great, however the Colony was disputably better than the Emily. Must go.

    Very quality pizza, definitely worth a visit. Wait for the food was longer than I like but have only been once. Also I found having honey on my pizza to be weird, wouldn't order that again

    When you didn’t realize an excellent pizza place could also produce a phenomenal burger. So of course, you get both.

    The burger is good but for the price it should be godly. It’s just good. Wouldn’t travel for it. Caesar salad was v good, again for $14 it better be. Need to come back for pizza, but #1 burger =BS.
