Bushwick: Best Pizza in NY
Guess what, people? Bushwick has the best pizza in New York. I know this because I have had the pizza in my family’s old neighborhood in the Bronx, on Arthur Avenue, and that is the best pizza in the city. My father won’t believe me when I tell him I have found even better.
Fortunata’s II (a new location of Fortunata’s from Ridgewood) at 305 Knickerbocker has real pepperoni (not that spongy Hormel junk that Tony’s down the block serves from a bucket) and the lightest, crispiest crust I have ever had. In my life. The owners and the workers are all Italian. Like, from Italy. And if you are lucky enough to get a zeppole fresh out of the fryer, you are having a very good day.
The prices are ridiculously low. Three slices of pizza, a pepperoni roll, two drinks, and 4 zeppole cost $12. A whole large pie is $12. You can’t go wrong here. Now go!
