Roberta's

Entering through this (now) iconic red door is like a trip through the looking glass and into Bushwick’s foodie wonderland. The city’s love affair with Roberta’s seems stronger each year, and for good reason. Everything from the industrial space to the underground bohemian vibe epitomizes Brooklyn-chic. Takeaway is always an option, so when the wait for a table is too long, snag a porchetta sandwich to-go.

Queens native Carlo Mirarchi is the master craftsman here, turning out a range of creatively named pizzas, including one that mixes pineapple and prosciutto, soppressata and jalapeño, or arrabiata with sesame seeds. Groups might consider sharing a beautifully browned, half-moon calzone stuffed with pepperoni as well as melted ricotta and caciocavallo.
