Roebling Pizza

L

Visited the shop today. The owner was very pleasant and personable. This is like real deal, passed down recipe Brooklyn pizza. Slices were very tasty and filling. Definitely check it out. A previous review said that this spot doesn’t accept cards, which is untrue, as of today, at least. To affirm, card is accepted.

Roebling Pizza is the platonic ideal of a NYC slice shop. It is unpretentious with great style and craftsmanship. The owner makes all of the pizza dough in-house (in case you didn't know-- most nyc slice shops nowadays buy theirs from a mass distributor) and you can watch him pull the dough, meticulously pop air bubbles, and diligently ladle the perfect amount of homemade red sauce on top. I believe every slice shop should be judged on their plain slice. How does their pizza hold up when there is nothing else there to distract? Roebling's plain slice is more than worth the very modest price tag--- the dough is chewy and crunchy in all the right places with a nuanced yeasty sour kick, the sauce is tangy and meaty, and it is always served to you at the perfect level of crispness. The special pies rotate but he keeps it simple, staying true to the neighborhood slice shop ethos: a white pie with spinach, ricotta and garlic confit; pepperoni; meatball; and some rotating specials. Nothing too frilly or over-the-top. He will gladly add toppings per request. And he always has one experimental pie based on an R&D process-- on my visit I got to try the Ancient Tomato pie, a slice with just marinara sauce, fresh tomatoes, olives, and basil and a super crisp dough perfectly juxtaposed by the thick layer of tomato sauce. Last but not least, the ambience is delightful. The signage is vintage (1960s), local art on the walls, groovy jazz tunes playing, little plants over the fridge, a large communal wooden table, and a rotating cast of locals making conversation, expressing strongly-held beliefs, or laughing and having a good time in an exchange of witty banter with the owner.

Pizza is really good. $3 for a regular slice is a bit pricey but the guy is nice.
