The Bushwick wood-fired pizza that launched a neo-Neapolitan revolution — the Bee Sting changed what a New York pizza could be
Roberta's opened in 2008 in a converted Bushwick warehouse and is widely credited with igniting the neo-Neapolitan pizza movement in New York. The wood-fired pies emerge blistered and slightly charred with a crust that has both chew and crunch — the Bee Sting, with soppressata, honey, and Calabrian chiles, became one of the most copied pizzas in the country. The back patio fills with artists and musicians on warm nights, and the radio station broadcasting from a shipping container in the lot adds to the feeling that Roberta's invented a kind of downtown Brooklyn energy that now feels ubiquitous. The food remains the point: smart, unfussy, supremely satisfying.
