Roberta's

I am obsessed with pizza (which will be missed while I'm on this Paleo diet), and I have had my fair share of pizza all over this city. Last Friday, Megan suggested we go to, not just her favorite pizza place, but one of her fav restaurants in all of NYC..Roberta's. Roberta's is tucked away in Bushwick, Brooklyn in an old garage with graffiti covering the outside. You would never know that the doors would open to pizza heaven. This would be my last meal before my diet, and it was the perfect last supper.

We had to wait for a table, so we went out to the backyard bar where there was a wedding shower going on (What a great idea!). So we drank, chatted, and peeked into wedding shower.
Our name was called, we were seated and handed menus. It's a pretty simple menu, pizzas, salads, and a few entrees (not just blah entrees, but foie gras and such things). We decided to start with 2 orders of the Snap Pea Salad and 2 orders of the Bibb Salad, then we ordered 2 Cheesus Christs (a 4 cheese delight), a Porta-baller (portabellas), a Beastmaster (supreme), and a White and Green with an egg cracked on top (a blend of cheeses, arugula, and lemon).

The salads came and were AMAZING! If I knew how to make those salads, this Paleo diet would be a breeze! Anywho, then the pizzas came and we all ate until we wanted to puke. They were awesome! The dough was crunchy on the outside, slightly chewy in the middle, with delicious fresh toppings. Definitely not your typical pizza (even for New York standards).

We didn't stop there! We ended up ordering dessert - Sweet Tea gelato, Banana Marshmallow gelato, Panna Cota with Rhubarb, and a Mint gelato-peanut butter crumble sundae. Ummm YUMMM!! All of the gelato was home made and tasted exactly as they should.

At the end of the night, we ended up spending about $40 each for all of that food, a drink, tax, and tip. I will definitely be coming back this summer.
