Beastmaster:

Genre: Pizzeria

Neighborhood: Bushwick

Wallet: $-$$

Comida: They don’t mess around. I ordered The Beastmaster with tomato, mozzarella, gorgonzola, capers, red onions, Berkshire pork sausage, jalapenos and garlic. ($17)  The flavors worked perfectly. I especially loved the capers, gorgonzola and chunks of garlic.  Their 12” Neapolitan-style pizzas are cooked in a red wood-burning oven.

Place: Roberta’s was highlighted in NYT in the Next Generation of Pizza’s I posted back in July. The restaurant is an unassuming building in an industrial area in Brooklyn. It’s a humble spot with a brass tacks mentality. The pizza station is completely exposed to the dining area. For a cold exterior, it’s toasty inside. Random Christmas lights, po-go sticks and red wood logs cover the walls.

Reservation: No

Tips:
