  Who Framed Roger Rabbit screens in Roberta's garden; come early for pizza and themed drinks.

Roberta's is the Bushwick spot that put the neighborhood on the national food map, and somehow it still feels like a neighborhood spot. Wood-fired pizza out of a cinderblock building on Moore Street, a sprawling backyard, a bar, and a rotating cast of events make it a reliable answer to "where should we go" that works for a date, a group, or a Sunday afternoon.

What it is

At its core Roberta's is a pizzeria and restaurant known for blistered, wood-fired pies with playful names and a menu that goes well beyond pizza. The compound has grown over the years to include a bar and a big outdoor space, and it has long been tangled up with the neighborhood's creative scene.

The garden and the vibe

The backyard is the move in warm weather: picnic tables, string lights, drinks, and pizza under the sky. It is casual and loud in the good way, and it hosts everything from movie nights to markets and parties depending on the season.

Events

Beyond dinner, Roberta's runs seasonal events in the garden, and the space has a history with local radio and pop-ups. It is worth checking what is on before you go, since a normal dinner and an event night are very different experiences.

Getting there

Roberta's sits in the industrial pocket near the Morgan Avenue L, an easy walk from the train. Expect a wait at peak times, especially weekend nights. For more ideas nearby, see things to do in Bushwick and what's on this weekend.
