Best Pizza in Williamsburg
Williamsburg is the mirror image of Park Slope: seven of these ten are $, and six are classic slice shops. This is a neighborhood you eat in standing up, and it has spent a decade exporting that idea — L'Industrie opened in the West Village, while Joe's came the other way across the river to Bedford Avenue.
The one everybody names is L'Industrie, and it earns it: a fior di latte square with cold burrata dropped on after the bake. Expect a line most evenings. The more interesting story is the grandma slice — Best Pizza puts chopped anchovy under a lacy-crisp bottom, and Williamsburg Pizza built its name on the square. Two grandma specialists in one neighborhood is unusual anywhere in the city.
Bedford Avenue is the obvious run and the busiest. Head east and it turns old-school fast: Tony's on Graham has kept it classic while everything around it changed, and Rome to Brooklyn is doing Roman pies out on Grand Street.
