For reasons that aren't entirely clear, the hipster triangle of Williamsburg/Greenpoint/Bushwick has somehow become ground zero for new-school Neapolitan pizza. Between O.G. Roberta's in what once a desolate corner of Bushwick (it's since been Times-approved), the Williamsburg Motorino (which, for the record, opened before the Manhattan version), pizza fanboy wet dream Paulie Gee's in Greenpoint, and brand newcomer Forcella (a stone's throw from Motorino), the competition is fierce. We're breaking down each of the contenders for the North Brooklyn New Wave Neapolitan Pizza Battle Royale (NBNWNPBR) to help you make the right choice.
