Michael MMarch 7, 2020All the pizza is delicious here! Only problem is the constant bathroom wait. Maybe additional restrooms are needed!!
Amr EssamSeptember 16, 2016Loved the pizza and the place, but I think there is too much of a hype over the bee sting. Try another one...
The pizza is great, but you should come here for the amazing vegetables and entrees
New York HabitatDecember 6, 2011The choices are what makes Roberta's great. We recomment the Millenium Falco - tomato, pork sausage parmesan, garlic, basil, red onions, bread crumbs, and chili flakes. Whew!
JeffreyJuly 20, 2014New Brooklyn pizzeria. Rooftop farmer. Erstwhile beekeeper. Bread bakery. Internet radio station. The place is a hillbilly-hipster juggernaut.
Zii HammadApril 15, 2015One of the few NYC spots of mainstream praise that deserves its status. Good soda, beer, and great pizza. Just avoid the awful, awful crowds/people who frequent this spot.
Roger RJune 3, 2016Not up to hype in my opinion. Pizza is good, ingredients fresh, but best Pizza in BK...no way. Lucali, Juliana's, Paulie Gee's all far superior and much better price point. The ambiance is def cool.
Claire J SongJune 22, 2015Bee Sting, an off-menu pizza that mixes soppressata with honey for perfect salty-sweet goodness.
Phil KatzApril 11, 2016You'll never have a 'bad' meal here, but Roberta's is far from the best pizza in Brooklyn, and the wait can be downright draconian.
NataliaNovember 15, 2012Funky atmosphere, great music, interesting people and perfect pizza dough. Already one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn.- Claire J SongMarch 25, 2015ALL CAPS relies on muddled rosemary and Zirbenz — an aromatic Swiss liqueur — to play with the spicy American rye at its core.
Amy CummingsFebruary 19, 2017The bee sting pizza is to die for! And the place has a really cool vibe.
Adam AlixNovember 7, 2014They serve excellent pizza here. Order the Beesting. It's always available even if it's not on the menu.
Don't spend 2 hours waiting for a table in the main restaurant. Circle around to their takeout window, order a pizza, then find a spot in the Tikki Bar patio where you can wait 20 min w a beer.
Jacob HerbstOctober 1, 2015Cool spot, nice music and pretty good pizzas. Also overpriced, poor wines (5x+ surcharge) and our waiter was a bit of a douche (I'm sure we were just unlucky)
- Rohith RaoJuly 16, 2017Bee sting is definitely the move #honeyonpizza😛. Unless the outdoor patio is open, I would order for pickup. Always a long wait for the indoor area
DevontaOctober 1, 2012Had their pizza at a party and every pizza was good! It's light, crispy and yummy! I had the Rapture an The Bee Sting!
Jakob StecherOctober 3, 2017Still amazing. Even if you're vegan.. Go get the rosso and add whatever you like.
Jane KatzAugust 13, 2015avoid the $21 coffee-rubbed beets. While tasty, not worth the $. Get the Axl Rosenberg pizza or the whites and greens. Wash everything down with babycheeks rose wine
Justine LamJanuary 23, 2015Loved the meatwad and marguerita pizza, but the industrial park decor and beers also deserves a mention.
Stewart CampbellAugust 13, 2018Great pizza, good beer selection, fun spot to grab dinner, would make a good date spot
Jordan CrookFebruary 7, 2015Best pizza in Williamsburg. The Bee Sting isn't on the menu anymore but if you ask, you shall receive.
There are zero bad things on the menu, but the Lil' Stinker is one of the absolute best.
Rudy ValentaFebruary 22, 2016Go early and with a big group so you can order a few pies and try them all- Sahil KathawalaAugust 1, 2015Super cool space, it's an old warehouse they made into a huge pizza place. Za was great too
Lina KApril 11, 2014Microscopic portion of bad pasta 17.00 Aggressive and rude service. Fantastic pizza at a fair prices. 1.5hour wait on a monday night. Please someone open a good pizza joint in Bushwick.
Alex HeathJune 17, 2017It's good, but not the best pizza in Brooklyn. (Head south to Lucali or Speedy Romeo for that) Outdoor area is very nice for eating takeout with cheaper drinks.
Mike JohnsonJuly 20, 2017Grab a pie to go and sit in the backyard. Lit'l Stinker or the Bee Sting never let me down.
Eat to BlogJanuary 14, 2012Ever since their write-up in the NY Times this place has been mobbed, but it's still a great restaurant. For some of the city's best pizza try the M. Martigan.- Melissa LonsdaleSeptember 11, 2016Great atmosphere. Great pizza! Also has a huge backyard with lots of picnic tables.
Love how this place is packed away, you enter a warehouse looking place and tadaaa, great pizza's!
Baramee ChindavongAugust 15, 2014Speckenwolf is delicious. Get bread and butter too...even if your on a low carb diet.
Wesley A'HarrahJanuary 31, 2018Get a Bee Sting pizza. If sitting around and waiting, grab the nduja with bread—but warning, it’s spicy 🔥🌶
Megan KSeptember 16, 2012was told my guide dog was a health risk. I would advise that their staff become educated about laws pertaining to service dogs. I'd be happy to help educate the staff and dine here when I'm welcome
Brook ShelleySeptember 29, 2015Delicious fancy pizza. Get something with lots of cheese and add prosciutto crudo
Naveeshini NairJanuary 27, 2019Had the Margherita pizza and it was delicious!Be prepared though,the pizza is a little pricey.
Matt SanchezDecember 2, 2011This place has the best atmosphere! The food/ beer and wine selection is great. Totally a hidden gem...great place to watch hipsters
- Manoj AmbalavananFebruary 9, 2022The best - you can’t beat the crust, toppings or anything else. Will be going back
Bee sting pizza is an off-menu must have!! White guy is also great with the chili oil
Vivian RamirezAugust 9, 2017The white pizza. Sooo so good. I forgot how amazing this place is- glad I was reminded.
BernerMay 1, 2013Well worth the trip. Grab a pint on the patio while you wait then one of every pizza is a safe bet.

"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."
