Best Pizza
A wood-fired pizza spot serving classic New York City slices in Williamsburg.

In the heart of Williamsburg sits a no-frills pizza joint with a name that speaks for itself. Best Pizza is exactly what it says on the tin—a small, single-room spot where the wood-fired oven takes center stage and slices come served on paper plates. There’s nothing pretentious here, just great pizza and a neighborhood vibe that makes you feel right at home.
The menu keeps things refreshingly simple with just five types of slices to choose from. The cheese slice delivers everything you want from a classic New York pie: sweet tomatoes, stretchy fresh mozzarella, and a crust sturdy enough to fold without flopping. But the real star is the white slice, featuring creamy ricotta and salty pecorino on a beautifully charred rim dusted with sesame seeds. The caramelized onions on top are unexpectedly sweet, almost jammy, creating a combination that’s both surprising and addictive.
This is the kind of place made for quick lunches, late-night cravings, and solo dining without a second thought. Grab a slice or two, find a spot at one of the few tables, and enjoy pizza done right without any fuss. Best Pizza doesn’t need candlelit ambiance or a clever Italian name—the quality speaks for itself.
Whether you’re a Williamsburg local looking for your go-to slice shop or a visitor searching for authentic New York pizza, this spot delivers exactly what the neighborhood needs. Simple, satisfying, and consistently excellent.
