A clam pizza.

Think you know Brooklyn pizza? Sure, you’ve heard and tried the legends (Totonno's, Di Fara and L&B Spumoni Gardens). But there are a lot of choices in this borough, where you only have to walk just a few blocks for an excellent slice.

Here's where some devotees go when they want pizza perfection without the wait or hype photos.

L’Industrie Pizzeria

Neapolitan flair meets NYC attitude. Famed for the burrata slice and their super thin, crispy crust.
📍 254 S. 2nd St., Williamsburg

Luigi’s Pizza

Old-school, no-BS perfection. The classic slice that keeps it real. A true neighborhood standby.

Lucia Pizza of Avenue X

Sheepshead Bay’s best-kept secret. The slices are gooey, crisp and criminally underrated.
📍 2201 Avenue X, Sheepshead Bay

Pizza Wagon

A south Brooklyn classic with 60s charm. The grandma slice is a local legend, and the vintage atmosphere is simply the best.
📍 8610 5th Ave., Bay Ridge

Order a whole pie for the full effect and bring cash just in case (some old-school spots demand it). Brooklyn has more pizza than you have weekends, so skip the usual suspects and eat like a local.
