I try each of the new pizzas as they pop up on the menu. After almost three years, I still can't pick a favorite. Kitchen food is worth the splurge.
Lauren DocktorNovember 17, 2017Wait forever for a table or go to the bar in the back, find a seat, then have your friend go get takeout and bring it back 🤟🏻
AmateurConciergeSeptember 29, 2018Yes, still one of the best pizzas in the city. But don’t sleep on the sides. Broccolini ftw
Katherine M.June 5, 2014Back patio + warm afternoon + great margherita pizza + well-chosen beer selection = bliss. In a sketchy area that is quickly gentrifying.
The Agnolotti is amazing! (at least the pea one is, swears!) Make sure you use the spicy oil on everything! And end the night with the Montenegro xo!
JeffreySeptember 6, 2013What you're ordering: The Family Jewels - With just the right mix of old-school and interesting, the Bushwick icon remains a favorite.
Javier LorenzoFebruary 6, 2016Lil' stinker pizza and Panna cotta is simply amazing. Place awesome too
NicolagypsicolaJuly 4, 2022Man… this place is legit, there’s not much else to say about it, trust an Italian when it comes to pizza.
Wait was not that bad on Saturday at 1pm. Delicious pizza that's for sure! I loved the Lil Stinker and the brussel sprout salad.
Julia VasindaAugust 19, 2016Pizza is amazing and it has a great vibe. Second favorite in the city after Paulie Gee's
- Roel van der VenMay 1, 2015This is some serious pizza, but don't forget to sample their other dishes. The crab linguine had so much flavor!
Christine DoubletJune 28, 2014Your order: rosé sangria and stracciatella outside at the tiki bar. Bee sting pizza and romaine salad inside.
If you thought circular pizza was where it's at, I dare you to try the InVolto. This folded, cheesy, meaty, perfectly spiced masterpiece delivers.
Alex CanningOctober 22, 2016Sweetbreads were delicious, as was the pizza. The wait to get a table was a bit hardcore, but it was Friday night
Kevin GrantJanuary 15, 2019If you don’t want to wait in line, order takeout and eat it in the bar tent in back
Vanessa V.August 19, 2014Good, definitely love the dough. Don't totally get the hype though. Toby's wins by a long shot.
Love everything on this menu, try the bee sting! If you're here during brunch definitely get a Bloody Mary
Bee Sting is my go to. The straciatella is delicious and so is the bread and butter.
yes to all pizzas, but also yes to dessert. brown butter cake that you'll never be too full for.
Fouad ElAmirFebruary 14, 2016Bee-Sting=Crack. Aside from their amazing food, they throw awesome parties from time to time that should NOT be missed
Pizza with corn and the one with fresh greens are sooooo good. Have a few drinks out back too!
Campbell BirdNovember 17, 2015Get a bee sting (spicy salami with honey). It's not on the menu, but they'll make it for you, and you'll be happy.
Dontré ConerlySeptember 9, 2015Pepperoni isn't on the menu, but you can request it--or you can try your pizza with sorpressata, a very flavorful substitute.
Men's Health MagJuly 9, 2012Sample the double-garlic, sopressata and jalapeno pie known as Axl Rosenberg or the pork sausage, Pawlet cheese, fennel, lemon, and red onion number known as the Fennel Frontier.
Honghui YuDecember 29, 2018The Bee Sting is a must try here. They even do a vegetarian version without the soppressata.
CarrieMarch 27, 2019Came on a Saturday 6pm and the wait was 3 hours, so we got takeout (20 minute wait). Recommend getting White Guys and Millennium Falcon! Bee Sting was a little too sweet for my liking.
Brad ParkJuly 27, 2013Ask for the bee sting - not on yhe menu but damn worth it. Honey on pizza is the best idea ever
Jacob UnderwoodOctober 7, 2016Super cool pizza joint right next which is connected to a bar. In the heart of bushwick
Hello KittyMay 10, 2013Fantastic pizza! I'd stick with that though. We also ordered pork and it was good but after taking a bite, we wished we had ordered another pie.
Sweta MohapatraDecember 22, 2015The Achilles Last Stand is the best pizza I've had, definitely get that if you like a little heat in your pizza
best pizza of your life! WARNING: TOTAL SCENE NOW. do not go on a wknd, but do brunch or a random weeknight. order a pizza w/an egg on it and their seasonal special.
Andres SotoAugust 28, 2018Good not great pizza if you're a New Yorker. Probably won't come back because NYC has too many pizza options to choose from. Also Bushwick is a trek if you're not driving and your from Queens.
Jordan WhittingtonNovember 9, 2013One of the best pizza places, but yeah too many hipsters. I also have been here at least 5 times, still have not yelped the place.
Ryan HamiltonDecember 12, 2011The outdoor bar/tent is the best place to grab beers and wait for your table. Plus it is heated by a wood stove in the winter to keep you extra cozy.
Yasmina MikouJune 22, 2015Waiting to be seated in the backyard over a beer is the part of the experience and it's worth it. Amazing pizz 🍕
brian lifeMarch 11, 2011I love the pizza, big open space with nice picknick style tables. Summer sitting outside is nice too. Hip spot- literally! ;) my old hood- great aria too.
Fanboy GaymerAugust 7, 2011Tasty menu tad expensive but worth it overall. Avoid Pizza on hot days, the wood burning oven tends to get too hot & results in blackened crust. DO NOT ASK for ketchup. "We're not THAT kind of Place"
Julia M.August 5, 2017Hahah fyi cops wait outside to catch you drinking walking from restaurant to the take out shop to get their quota, it's a $25 dollar ticket
Bee sting pizza: the bomb. I think they still make it off-menu: chile oil and honey. This place is just the best.
Francesca VitelloDecember 22, 2014One of the best pizzas in Ny. Try also the appetizers, the stracciatella was amazing.
Nandi AndersonMarch 21, 2016It gets pretty busy so be sure to leave your name and explore the area until a table opens!
Michael MMarch 7, 2020All the pizza is delicious here! Only problem is the constant bathroom wait. Maybe additional restrooms are needed!!

"BAGELS. They do overdo the cream cheese some, but they're cheap and they have a ton of flavors. The pumpernickel with peanut butter or everything with lox spread and cucumber are great choices."
