While eating at Madison Square Park’s Shake Shack, I noticed a lot of people carrying Eataly‘s paper bags. Eataly! The foodies at Rose’s suggested Eataly and I totally forgot. Luckily, there was an address on the bags and it turns out, Eataly is right across the street.
Eataly is a high end Italian food hall with restaurants, food and beverage stations. It’s like a candy store for serious cooks and gourmets! We ended up buying spreads, cookies and pastas…even though our luggage were full!
We had to hurry back to our hotel to go to the airport but right outside of Eataly were food stalls..
I saw the list of vendors and Roberta’s were there! Roberta’s was the pizza place the foodies we met at The Spotted Pig mentioned. We didn’t plan on trying because it was really far into Brooklyn so I was beyond happy when I saw Roberta’s.
They brought their own oven to make freshly-baked pizzas!
Margherita Pizza (tomato, mozzarella and basil) and added pepperoni …. the pizza was slightly burnt.. but the crust was thin enough…lots of sauce and cheese…
FAIM? OUI OUI!!

Apart from being famous for the pizza, John’s known for being in an abandoned church.
It has high ceilings with stained glass windows…probably the classiest pizza joint! It’s also the largest pizzeria in the world!
1 large size pizza…. it’s baked in coal-fired brick oven so it was very aromatic. loved the crust.. very thin and slightly crispy!
house salad.. the vinegrette was too sour…
New York Cheesecake.. 
Originally, the itinerary had a lunch stop at DUMBO, where the famous pizzerias Juliana’s and Grimaldi’s are located. I was so hyped for the pizzas but unfortunately, we stopped for lunch at Brooklyn Heights instead.
Since I wanted NY pizza anyways, we ate at Monty Q’s… the only pizza place we saw on the main street of Brooklyn Heights. There’s a lot of pizza choices.. once you pick your slice, they reheat it again in the brick oven.
We ordered the chicken white pie…..I didn’t have high expectations but I was wrong. This was pretty good! Thin crust, creamy white sauce and tender chicken.. If Monty is this good, I can’t imagine what Juliana’s / Grimaldi’s would taste like!
It’s funny how we still haven’t tried Peruvian cuisine yet!
I really like the traditional rustic decor..
oven-fired pizza
At this point, it was my 3rd day of having gastroenteritis and still did not have an appetite. I didn’t even care what I ate… so I couldn’t remember what pizzas these are. All I can remember is that the pizzas were warm not hot. Oven fired pizzas should be hot! Seriously, the best pizza I’ve had so far is still the one in 
Pizzeria Due is a block away from it’s mother restaurant Pizzeria Uno… love how their names are so literal!
wings…
numero uno (sausage, pepperoni, onions, peppers, mushrooms, chunky tomato sauce and topped with mozzarella & Romano) deep dish pizza… this had more toppings than 
a close up.. you can see there’s more topping, sauce and less cheese..
BBQ chicken (mozzarella, red onion, parsley, drizzled with citrus BBQ)….the bbq chicken topping was so delicious!
faim? oui oui!!!!!!
