Sure, dark, brooding caverns and dripped wax candles have their place in the heart of romantics everywhere. But something just as sexy? Pizza. And pizza doesn't get any cooler than at Roberta's. While this hipster haven continually makes headlines with head-turning stories like the time they unrolled a weed-tasting menu, their drug-free food more than lives up its own hype. Wood tables and outdoor seating lend an air of casualness to the atmosphere here, and their wood-burning oven is prominently displayed. As for the pies? Carlo Mirarchi's creations feature produce grown onsite, and have cemented themselves as a must-eat on any New York pizza tour.

EXPERT TIPS BY:
Andrea Wien
New York Local Expert
- Romantic Dining: "For a unique Brooklyn dining experience, gather a group and try the chef's tasting. It's not the pizza, but it'll still dazzle your date."
- Brooklyn's Best Restaurants: "Roberta's does not take reservations, so come with a patient appetite. Head through the dining rooms to where bearded bartenders pull draughts and pour excellent cocktails while you wait. And wait. And wait..."
- Best Restaurants for Spring: "For a unique Brooklyn dining experience, try the chef's tasting. It's not the famous pizza, but creations for only eight people at a time by chef Mirarchi. Reservations are available in advance for tastings."
- Pizza, Best Value: "For a unique Brooklyn dining experience, try the chef's tasting. It's not the famous pizza, but creations for only eight people at a time by chef Mirarchi. Reservations available in advance for tastings."
- Best for Romantic Dining Because: Sometimes there's nothing more romantic than offering someone else your cheese.
- Best for Brooklyn's Best Restaurants Because: Roberta's is the OG of the neighborhood and they're still turning out fantastic pies all these years later.
- Recommended as Best Restaurants for Spring Because: Their back patio is large enough for a group and keeps just enough of that Bushwick grit intact.
- Best for Pizza Because: Even through Roberta's has made a name for itself with hipsters, the food here is still worthy of the title of 10 Best.
- Recommended as Best Value Because: You can get cheaper pizza elsewhere, but you'll miss out on the whole package of what makes Roberta's valuable.
