L'Industrie Pizzeria
L'Industrie is the new standard when it comes to a fantastic New York slice. This Williamsburg pizza joint combines an extremely thin crust similar to that found in Roman variants (such as at Bread & Salt in Jersey City), imported Italian toppings, and a funky-flavored dough thanks to a long fermenting process. The result is the kind of slice you'll crave for no apparent reason, as when a leaf falls on your head and reminds you of basil.
Each mouthful of blistered crust puffs and crunches, resembling bakery bread rather than traditional pizza. A layer of delicious mozzarella stays perfectly in place thanks to minimal tomato sauce and precise baking temperatures. When you fold a piece, the seductive kind of orange grease flows down your wrist. If you split the crust in half, you'll notice a smattering of air pockets that look like bubble wrap.
L'Industrie stands out in addition to the crust because it prioritizes fresh ingredients, many of which are imported from Italy. After all, the shop was founded in 2017 by a Florentine. For a herbaceous and salt-studded finish, each slice is sprinkled with a handful of basil and parmesan. This creamy burrata is placed over a standard cheese slice and drizzled with fruity-rich olive oil. You receive a manageable mouthful of silky dairy instead of a tasteless burst of mush.
