Brooklyn, NY
We decided to take a drive right before Christmas to Pizza Wagon, a new addition to the 2018 list, just barely making it on at number 98. It is definitely an old-school establishment, and I couldn’t even find a website for it. They’ve been around for over 50 years at their location in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
We brought James here, and managed to grab a booth when a nice older couple left. The place was packed for lunch. We ordered a couple of plain slices, and the ricotta slice. The plain cheese slices were your typical NY slice – cheesy with a decent amount of sauce and a decent crust that was on the thinner side.
We aren’t sure that we would put this on our list of best slices in NY, but we did think it was worth trying. We liked that it was only a 45 minute drive from our house in NJ, which makes it one of the closest NY slices that we can get from home without taking a subway.
It is also open late – until 1 am – just in case you are looking for a late night slice.
James is itching to try his first slice of pizza. He gives the biggest eyes whenever we’re eating it. Right now, we’re trying to stick to fruits and vegetables, but we’re thinking that soon we will have to give in. We’re still deciding which slice will be his first. We aren’t taking the decision lightly.
