BUSHWICK: Roberta's Pizza

Bushwick. Who would have thought? Some of NYC's best neapolitan style pizza, wine bars serving wines made from Corvina and Grechecco grapes, cute coffee shops, organic markets, and tortilla factories... and it's all only 20 minutes from Union Square on the L line. Who freaking knew?
Well, Bushwick, I'm sold. And I'm definitely sold on the mecca of wood-fired pizza, home grown ingredients, flawless execution, and hipster ambience that is Roberta's Pizza. Is it a craft beer garden? Is it an urban farm? Is it an awesome Italian restaurant? Not sure. Don't care. Love hanging out here. Coming back.

Yes, I'll have my Sixpoint Righteous Ale served in a jam jar, thank you

Oysters (eek I forgot what kind but they were small and sweet!) with celery granita. Perfect pairing.

The Millenium Falco: tomato, parmigiano, pork sausage, garlic, red onion, bread crumbs, basil

So good. So good. So good. So good.

The crust had a perfectly crunchy, almost burnt bottom with a chewy interior.

The English Pea: Gin, sweet pea, lime, and mint...purrfect summer cocktail

The restaurant's small backyard farm where they plant herbs and veggies to use on their pizza and in other delectable creations. [photo credit: blindtastingclub]
