Best Pizza

Why Come Here? Williamsburg’s best slices, pickled vegetable white pizza

best pizza williamsburg, nyc, brooklynFor me the name “best pizza” conjures up stereotypical Chinese restaurants like “Best Golden Tea House” or “Tasty Noodle” where the owner worryingly feels the need to assure you the food is good in the name. Like most of these places, Best Pizza doesn’t quite live up to the billing. But that’s not to say they don’t serve some excellent ‘za. In fact, I would say it’s the best NY style in Williamsburg. And the best by the slice. Which certainly counts for something.

The pie options are your typical red and white with square or NY-style crusts. The NY crust has just the right amount of flop while the square is thicker without overdoing it. Both pick up a nice amount of char from the over and are covered with a perfect proportion of tangy tomato sauce. The white pies add sesame seeds to the crust, a surprisingly delicious twist. You really can’t go wrong with any combination here.

Much like the pizza, the interior is also an upgrade over your typical slice joint. The white tiled interior adds some semblance of decor instead of the typical wood or concrete walls. The tables are nicely spread so you can enjoy eating your meal without getting elbowed by the people waiting for a slice. Prices are pretty reasonable for the quality with a 20″ pie going for $20. They’ll even deliver it to you with a 6-pack of Bud for only $6 more.

My two favorite slices are:

Square White Pie w/ Pickled Vegetablesย (3/4 stars) This is the signature slice here and lives up to the bill. Unlike most pizza veggies, these are surprsingly crisp and flavorful without overpowering the pizza itself. Plus it maybe slightly less violates your New Year’s resolutions.
