Rooftop Bar Brooklyn Reviews
No frills pizzeria serving a wide array of specialty slices amongst the classics. The dough has some fermentation flavor, and they don’t skimp out on the cheese. Shoutout to the staff for being so fun and passionate about what they do
Walked up and down this street for forever and never stepped in until today. Had a slice that was the true definition and representation of a NY sl🍕ce. A taste of freshness and good quality. Amazing customer service❣️
They have pretty amazing slices, open late til midnight. $5 for a quality slice, round pies, and also square pies. Can also get a cold Brooklyn beer to enjoy with the pizza. Small spot but perfect for the neighborhood without the high prices. If youre staying at the Sheraton Brooklyn or Aloft Brooklyn, or anywhere near Dumbo or Metrotech, you have to check out this place
Solid pizza spot in downtown Brooklyn! Especially love the meat alternative/vegan options they have. These slices were just as good as the others! Will definitely be back to grab a slice(s) again
A real gem in Downtown Brooklyn. Their pizza slices are a hit—always hot and made with authentic, delicious ingredients. The menu is incredibly diverse, so there’s a perfect slice for everyone, no matter what you're craving!!
Kind and generous team making solid pizza at good prices. Great for families on the go.
I was looking for a good slice of Brooklyn pizza to share with my kids where I can also find a Gluten Free version. This place was highly rated on Google, so we went, and now I know why. The pizza was delicious. My son had a slice of white and he said it was the best he had. I waited about 15 minutes for them to make my GF pizza and it was worth the wait. The crust was thin, chewy and crunchy. The sauce was delicious, more on the garlic side than the sweet side which I love. And the cheese didn't disappoint, it was stringy and not saturated in grease. I will definitely be back and will order this again. I highly recommend.
If you are downtown and you’re hungry past 10pm, most stores will be closing. After some searching we stumbled on this pizza spot just because it was open late and we were starving. The service was quick and our pizza had just come out of the oven, amazing! Which other pizza joint is baking new pizza past 10pm??? Overall great find and perfect place to go when its late and you’re looking for a bite.
Holy cow! The gluten free pizza is amazing!!! Went with the the menu pepperoni but added sausage and what a solid pizza. Staff was great as well...
Join me in celebrating the annual celebration of the mathematical constant 𝞹 (3.14) at this cute place located in the heart of downtown Brooklyn! They’ve great variety of pizzas and a chocolate cookie for a dollar. I savored the most delicious Vegan slice made with vegan cheese, bell pepper, spinach, onions and garlic. So don’t wait and check this place out Little Pizza Parlor 192 Duffield Street, Brooklyn NY 11201
The Food: You have to try the pepperoni and honey slice. It sounds like a "curious" culinary experiment gone wrong, but it is surprisingly incredible. The sweet-and-spicy combo is the plot twist your taste buds didn't know they needed. 10/10 for the pizza. The Vibe: I’m convinced the seating area is actually a secret casting office for an indie film. When we ate here, the "cast" included: Three artists with massive shopping bags who were clearly seeing colors that don't exist yet (they were a bit high). A stoic NYPD officer in full uniform just trying to eat in peace. A pack of students who looked like they’d just survived a very liquid happy hour. It was the perfect opening scene for a New York comedy. If you want world-class people-watching and a pepperoni slice that challenges your worldview, this is the spot. Pro Tip: Get the honey drizzle. Watch the chaos. Enjoy the show.
Late night death march heading towards Atlantic terminal when we happened upon this place. Very very tall gentleman behind the counter helped us. Got a Margherita and pepperoni slices. Received them very hot which would of been great if we were taking them to go but we say inside to eat and had to let it cool. So be aware of that. Pepperoni was the cupped kind and fresh tasting. Would recommend this place of you'd like a good basic slice that doesn't feel like a waste of money.
Solid spot with good variety of slices and for a fair/reasonable price. The italian sausage and margherita are especially good. Also offer full pies, but only grabbed by the slice the times we went. Small place with limited seating, so grabbing to go is probably the easiest move. Definitely worth stopping in if you’re staying near by or passing through Dumbo
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Downtown Brooklyn Gem Little Pizza Parlor is one of those rare neighborhood spots that instantly wins you over. Tucked away on a quiet street in downtown Brooklyn, it offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere the moment you walk in. The staff is incredibly friendly, and there’s plenty of room to sit, relax, and actually enjoy your meal, something that’s getting harder to find these days. They have a great variety of pizza options, all fresh and full of flavor, but the classic pepperoni and cheese is my personal favorite. It’s always cooked perfectly with the ideal mix of crispiness and cheesy goodness. You can tell they put real care into everything they make. Between the amazing food, the inviting vibe, and the consistently excellent service, Little Pizza Parlor has become my go-to spot in the neighborhood. If you’re in downtown Brooklyn, do yourself a favor and stop by. Highly recommended!
I’ve enjoyed this place many times over the years; it’s always a pleasant visit. They offer great views, good vibes, and drinks. 🌃🍸 Their food menu is small, but everything I’ve tried has been flavorful and satisfying. On my last visit, Nick took care of us, and he was very kind and attentive.
I took my mother to Westlight because I wanted to show her something truly beautiful, enjoy the views, and have a nice meal with cocktails—and everything was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere is stunning, the views are breathtaking, and the overall vibe feels special from the moment you arrive. The cocktails were excellent, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. What meant the most to me was how thoughtful and attentive the staff were with my mom. She can’t have gluten, and they took great care to make sure she felt comfortable and safe. Our server went above and beyond—he even changed a cocktail for my mom’s friend when she didn’t like it, without us even asking. That level of kindness and attention really stood out. On top of being incredibly professional, our server was also very charming, which made the experience even more enjoyable 😊 It was a perfect evening, and a beautiful memory to share with my mother. I would absolutely recommend Westlight for a special occasion or for anyone who wants to experience NYC at its
Had the most wonderful visit to Westlight!! For starters, the view is an absolute 10 out of 10, killer. It's the perfect height and vantage point for unbelievable views of Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn. Rose and Charlie were the absolute best, very welcoming, friendly, hospitable and inviting. Will definitely be coming back soon.
Westlight is an incredible rooftop spot with breathtaking panoramic views of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The atmosphere feels upscale yet relaxed, making it ideal for a special night out or sunset drinks. Excellent service and unbeatable views — definitely a must-visit rooftop in NYC!
I had the most magical evening at Westlight on October 6, 2025, with my best friend. 🌇✨ I made the reservation a month in advance, and it was so worth it — they gave us a beautiful outdoor table with the perfect view of the sunset and city skyline. As the sky turned pink and gold, it felt like the whole city was glowing just for us. 🌆 The beef burger was amazing, juicy and flavorful, and the cocktails were not only delicious but also so pretty! 🍸 After dinner, we moved indoors and sat near a lovely couple who were also celebrating a birthday. We ended up buying them a little photo and an ice cream dessert — it even came with a cute sparkler! 🎂 We all exchanged birthday wishes across the tables and laughed together. It felt like pure joy shared between strangers. The staff were incredibly kind. They gave us free hot water and let us stay to talk for hours. Just before we left, Natalie (I think she was the manager) came over and surprised us with a postcard that said “Happy Birthday” and “Welcome to NYC!” with the Westlight logo. My friend was so touched — she couldn’t stop smiling. 💖 Last year, her birthday wasn’t the happiest, but this year, thanks to Westlight, it became truly unforgettable. Thank you for making our night so warm and special. We’ll definitely be back — and next time, I’m leaving an even bigger tip! 💫
The views are top-notch! We made a reservation and online listed it was for a birthday (my mom’s!) and they moved us to a better table with clearer views! We did an hour before sunset so we would see it in the daytime and at night. Yummy drinks and food. So happy we made it here on our trip! Worth it after a day in Brooklyn.
Westlight is an absolute top 5 pick for best rooftop restaurant in NYC. With breathtaking views, delicious small plates, unique drinks, and one of the largest rooftop spaces you'll find in the 5 boroughs, Westlight is easily one of the best rooftop spots that you can find in NYC. The food was flavorful and appetizing, especially the jerk oxtail sliders!! To top it all off, the staff was simply amazing. Every single employee I encountered was not only courteous, attentive and knowledgeable, but just all-round wonderful people. And as if the glass-enclosed and terrace dining areas weren't great enough, they have a large open lawn a level above, that offers completely unobstructed views from all angles. Westlight is definitely a new addition to my favorites, and I'm eager to visit again soon!!
If you can find a better sunset view in Brooklyn, I would be shocked! If you want to sit outside, be sure to make reservations as they will not let you hang out outside and crowd the people who do have reservations. The drinks were on point, and we only snacked on some empanadas, and those were outstanding
Tyler was a great server and supper hospitable. Gave great recs, was really nice, and made my bday dinner great! The place has great views and very good food and drinks. We made a reservation for outdoor seating at 5:45pm for a perfect sunset dinner which I recommend because it was full pretty much the whole time.
I was looking for a bar with a beautiful view and it did not disappoint! I don’t remember the name of the cocktail, but it had blueberry and basil — one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. The snacks were tasty, and the service was friendly. I’m absolutely thrilled with this place!
This place never disappoints even if you're visiting just for drinks or after dinner. The views are probably one of the best in NYC. The top terrace with couches is a nice touch because it offers sitting area even if you're not booking a table. Its tough getting through the crowd in order to get to the bar but it's manageable. Diverse selection of mixed drinks including some draft beers. Must visit if you're in the area.
Went to Westlight in Brooklyn and was absolutely blown away. This spot is stunning — the panoramic views of the NYC skyline at sunset are unbeatable. The vibe is upscale but relaxed, and it’s the perfect place to take in the city from above. We only had drinks this time, but everything was well-made and the service was smooth. No complaints at all. It’s definitely a place you go to for both the atmosphere and the experience. Can’t wait to come back and try the food — I’ll update the review once we do! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a beautiful rooftop bar with breathtaking views.
We came here for our anniversary and we hav nothing but amazing things to say. The food was excellent, Josie our server was amazing, very attentive and always made us feel welcomed. Lastly the atmosphere was great we had a table inside that kept us fresh and comfy with the fresh breeze and the beautiful sun. Will come back as many times as possible and will always ask for Josie who was splendid.
Came here after the Leon Thomas concert for some late night food because I was craving pizza. When I walked up, there was a line outside the door, but it moved pretty fast. Once I got inside, one of the workers greeted me right away and took my order. He was really friendly, which set the tone. I ordered a margherita slice and a pepperoni slice. The line kept moving and the space looked clean and smelled amazing. Both slices were fresh and I took everything to go. The total for two slices plus tip was $11.24. When it was time to eat, the portion sizes were good and definitely not skimpy. The margherita slice was great, and I was excited for the pepperoni because it looked so good. The pepperoni itself had great flavor, but something about the cheese and sauce combination felt slightly off. It wasn’t bad, just not as strong as the margarita slice. Even with that, I would still come back and try other slices because the service was great and the place was clean and quick.
A great neighborhood pizzeria that does things right. Large NYC cheese slices baked to perfection, check. Friendly service, check. Cool vibe, check. Outdoor seating to enjoy the weather, check. Specialty slices that are flavorful, double-check. Prices skew higher but justified by location and quality.
Pizzas were pretty good. Nice and cheesy, too! We had the ready-made slices and tried a few different ones. I loved the margarita. We enjoyed the pepperoni, cheese, mushroom, and veggie ones, too. The garlic knots were okay. It's a small place with limited seating, but they do have some outdoor seating, too. The service was good too.
Overall rating: 4.5 I liked the pizza, don’t get me wrong. But was it the most amazing pizza I’ve ever had in Brooklyn? No? Something was missing for me. The decor of the restaurant transported me back in time which was cool. Less hole in the wall, more chill restaurant vibe. Very different than what I was expecting which is a good thing. I thought it was interesting that some of these reviews say it is really affordable. $5+ for a slice is not affordable. Suppose it’s all relative.
My kids and i have been ordering from this pizzeria like for 2 years, they pizza is the best, always been delivered hot and freshly made. Never to complaint about until today, my pizza was delivered a total mess, like if the delivery guys was in a rush to get some where . It was one size folded and the other size good, and this was on both pies. I would like to keep ordering from there but your delivery guy have some attitude if he doesnt get tips too. I have pictures of the pizza how they got delivered.
The scenery is absolutely stunning. If you’re coming here to take beautiful photos or enjoy the night view, this place is definitely worth it. But if you’re looking for great food, it might not be the best choice. The prices are moderate—not cheap, but not too expensive either. It’s definitely a great spot for dates or gatherings. The photo shows what I ordered when I went there—everything was quite good except for the Coke. Maybe it’s just because I don’t like flavored Coke, but honestly, it tasted terrible. P.S. I recommend sitting indoors during spring, autumn and winter. You can step outside to take some photos, but don’t eat out there. The wind was so strong when I went that my food got cold right after it was served. Overall, though, I’d still highly recommend this place.
Awesome bar with an amazing view of Manhattan! Food and drinks were better than expected. While the atmosphere is impeccable, I’m taking off one star for the following reasons: - We had a reservation but still waited about 25 minutes to be seated. A simple “sorry for the wait” would have been appreciated. - Shortly after we were finally seated, a woman came over and accused us of taking the wrong table—as if we had seated ourselves. When we told her we were shown to the table, she asked who had seated us… um, the hostess? In fact, while we were waiting, the hostess mentioned that our indoor table was by an open window and would feel like we were outdoors. The table we were seated at matched that exact description, so I had just mentioned to the hostess that her description was spot on. Even if we were mistakenly seated at the wrong table, shouldn’t the staff communicate and resolve the issue internally instead of confronting and accusing guests? I’m not sure who this woman was, but she was quite rude. She never came back to apologize for the confusion. Our server was nice; however, he forgot to bring a water bowl for our dog (this place/hotel is dog-friendly), even after we asked for one. We didn’t bother asking again. But a staff member who was cleaning our table noticed we had a dog and kindly offered to bring a water bowl, which we appreciated. Note that there are two separate lines for the elevators—one for reservations and another for walk-ins. This was not clearly indicated. The doorman (I think?) simply asks if you’re going to Westlight and then points you to the walk-in line when you say yes, so we initially waited in the wrong line.
I'm not really a rooftop bar type of guy, but Westlight was an enjoyable enough experience. When I showed up to the lobby, there was a long line to even get on the elevator, and I thought about just ditching it and going elsewhere. However, my friend reminded me of an ages-old adage: "the longer the line the better the time." I'm not quite sure Westlight completely lived up to that quotation, but the twilight view of the city made it a worthwhile venture nonetheless. Other than that, there was the aforementioned long-line to get in, a long line to purchase vastly overpriced drinks, and it was a little too crowded for my personal comfort. The best way to describe it, for me, is this: you may as well check it off your bucket list, but it's not somewhere where I would see myself becoming a regular.
Nice atmosphere with people ready to eat famous pizza. Flavour of the bread is good. Souces are OK, but felt spicy everything, even the cheese one. A bit oily and with somehow not the expected salami. Small and full of oil, maybe was not salamy. I just ask to have the recommended pizza, so maybe my fault, I didn't know what I was ordering. By the way, the chicken is a bit spicy.
The biggest thing this place has going for it is the view obviously, but a lot of the tables don't really get a good angle on it. We went for our anniversary and the most special thing they did for us was the host wishing us happy anniversary lol. The food is good but tiny and the cocktails are fine but nothing special. For the insane prices you can find much more unique fare elsewhere in Williamsburg and Greenpoint 😬
