Williamsburg Pizza
Grandma Square – Fresh Basil, Parmagiano-Reggiano. Olive Oil. Housemade Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce
Bianco Slice – Housemade Mozzarella, Ricotta, Parsley, Parmigiano-Reggiano
Fortunate enough to have visited the original Union Avenue Williamsburg Pizza shortly after opening, even then the Slices amongst New York’s best thanks to quality ingredients and the skills of Pizzaiolo Nino Coniglio, it was after dinner at Contra that a stop was made at Manhattan’s Lower East Side location tucked away on Broome Street, the Pizza now even better than remembered.
Opened in late 2013 and felt by many to be the only legitimate place for a slice in the Two Bridges area even now, Williamsburg Pizza #2 is designed no different from many New York slice shops in that those fortunate enough to walk through its doors are greeted by a selection of pre-made Slices ready to be warmed or otherwise allowed to order a whole Pie fresh, additional menu choices including Heroes, Salads and Garlic Knots.
Said to be one of the nation’s most obsessive Pizza makers, the youthful Coniglio still making everything from Dough to Sauce and Mozzarella from scratch each day even as his operation has expanded to Crown Heights and Barclay’s Center, a proper order at any of Williamsburg Pizza / Brooklyn Pizza Crew’s locations should include both a slice of Brooklyn Round and Grandma Square, the former truly old school with a crisp surface, plenty of bubbles and just a bit floppy while the Grandma puffs up big around the edges with a great chew and bit more yeast notable amidst the high-quality toppings.
