Holly BeardmoreAugust 27, 2015Hands down the best pizza I have ever tasted - and that's coming from a pizza snob!
Tim MosbackAugust 8, 2012The burger is the sleeper hit of the Roberta's lunch menu. The patty is made of dry-aged beef trimmings supplied daily by Pat LaFrieda.
BingJuly 6, 2012There’s an area in the back with a bar and an outdoor fire pit that provides the perfect ambience for their amazing pizzas.
They brought Levain Boules with housemade butter. (Baked in their wood oven in Brooklyn, made only with flour, water, and salt; no commercial yeast and a sourdough starter) to Choice Eats- Lee SimpsonJuly 12, 2016PRO TIP: Place your order, then nip next door to the take away and get a portion ranch for dipping.
Lauren HochmanApril 2, 2018all of it is great! Pasta dishes are small portions though. Be prepared for a long wait.
Michael DempseyApril 23, 2015This is the best pizza in NYC. Beesting and Millennium Falco are great.
The CommanderNovember 4, 2014Don't come here for the service, it's slow as hell! But the food is artful and tastes are sublime! Boozy drinks and fun! Blown away! Even eating at the bar is a scene!
Elie BleierAugust 29, 2014Very, very impressed. Don't know what I got but it was awesome. Will be back soon.
Jesse BagelsJanuary 18, 2016Pretty pricy, very fresh and tasty toppings (esp the gorgonzola cheese!) but not rly worth the hype
Alex RobertsonNovember 18, 2017a lot of pizzas out there resemble the bee sting, but it is truly incomparable
super fast if you order at the take out shop two doors down and eat in the outdoor garden/bar
Daniela RatnerSeptember 21, 2015The original is amazing. Speckenwolf is also good but beware because it is a white pizza.
Nick JohnsonMarch 22, 2015The calzone is tasty, but very un-Italian and takes a long time to make. The romaine salad was really good, but over priced.
Alex CasariegoNovember 16, 2014The sticky buns are unbelievable. Clearly loaded with butter and sugar, but well worth it.
jacqueline ryanMarch 16, 2015The atmosphere is super nice, and so is the food! Love the garlic knots
Ruj PughApril 13, 2011Great menu heavily influenced by Italian cuisine. Wine list is extensive, including Italian wines listed by regions. Wood burning pizza oven...what more could you ask for?
Order the off menu pizzas: The Bee Sting or The Four Emperors!
cute up and coming spot.. pizza boys could use a lesson or two about how to regulate the temp of the DIY wood oven. despite the technical learning curve very tasty and worth the desperate hipsters
The Bee Sting - Fresh Mozzarella, Spicy Sopressata and Honey 🐝
BenAugust 20, 2014Must have the Involto pizza. Regular 2+ hour wait times. Patio in the back to drink while you wait.
Jake SimmsJune 10, 2012This place is known for pizza, but...look off the pizza menu if you want to get your mind blown. If soft shell crab is on the menu, order it.
Brunchtime Bloody Mary was great. Real ingredients! Side of Bacon not really a deal at 2 slices for $5. All food was amazing, and sunday green market as well!
NicolaFebruary 12, 20154 glasses of the cheapest wine on the list + 2 vegetables starters + 1 pizza = 87usd for 2 persons. has become a tourists and locals trap. it happens. avoid. go to paulie gee's all life long.
Alex PyatetskyJuly 30, 2017Love the ambiance but it's not the best pizza in BK. Crust isn't as crispy as I'd like. It's good but not the best.
Rodrigo DaviesJuly 26, 2013It's not that this is in one of the coolest Neighbourhoods in the city. It's that the food is gold.
- William DoonanMay 15, 2017I prefer heartier pizzas. Roberta's is delicious but it always leaves me wanting more.
Christoffer JakobsenSeptember 24, 2016Great pizza, good beer selection, great space and great service
If you're not feeling like pizza, the orecchiette with pig tail Ragu is AMAZING.
Reavel PROctober 31, 2014We ordered the Cowabunga Dude and Gorgon Ramsey. Both were great. So try them out.
Jorg RuisSeptember 23, 2013For the best pizza in a really cool Brooklyn style restaurant (lots of locals)
MauriceApril 20, 2010With so many places it's about looking cute; at Roberta's it's by far about the food. The pizza is why you probably went, but everything is GOOD. (if they have the pork belly biscuit, please get it)
Meh as of 2022. I’ve lived here for-ev-er and this place was hyped in the late 2000s. Revolutionary. Rich old ppl came here for miles around. Now, sadly, dated. Pizza is ok. No longer a destination.
João CalmonNovember 10, 2012Hands down the most interesting place to eat in NY, unless you hate the whole hipster scene or you are willing to spend over 150 dollars in a meal. If that is not the case, go to Roberta's.

"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."
