The Gothamist: The 24 Best Pizza Places In NYC
Originally appeared on The Gothamist, 09/17 2015WILLIAMSBURG PIZZA: We were impressed, but not blown away, when this pizza spot opened up on Williamsburg's Southside back in 2012. Over the years, though, Williamsburg Pizza's pie strength has grown significantly, and once its even better LES outpost opened in 2013, we were sold. You can get funky pies here, with favorites including the mushrooms-and-white-truffle topped Tartufo, the Paesano, which comes with italian sausage, mushrooms and roasted red peppers; and the Apple Bacon, which has crushed walnuts, gorgonzola and apples in addition to its titular topping.
But your best bet here is still a basic Brooklyn or Grandma slice, depending on whether you prefer your pizza shaped like a triangle or square—the pizza will stuff you with fresh tomatoes, cheese and an extra-hearty crust, as has been mandated by the pizza powers that be.
