"If it doesn’t have a bucket-list pizzeria, is it even a bonafide Brooklyn neighborhood? In Clinton Hill, Speedy Romeo is the spot. Embracing a corner storefront that was once home to an auto parts shop, it keeps the raw aesthetic: All brick, wood, and metal, lightened with orange chairs and bold nostalgia. In plain sight, the wood-burning oven brings warmth—grab a seat at the counter bar and you'll feel the flames on your cheeks. The Margherita is pure and simple, while The White Album is decadent with freshly-pulled mozzarella, ricotta, Provel, pecorino, parmesan, and bèchamel." - Andrea Whittle, Jessica Kelly
