★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Roberta’s Pizza at Penny Station is such a hidden gem in New York! The location is super convenient, and the pizza… oh, the pizza is absolutely delicious — perfectly made, full of flavor, and with that authentic taste that wins you over right away.What I really love is the little details: they have a bathroom (which is rare around here!), and right outside there’s a lovely square where you can sit and enjoy your slice in the open air. It makes the whole experience even more charming, with that laid-back city vibe.It’s the kind of spot that combines convenience, amazing food, and a touch of charm in the atmosphere. A place I truly loved discovering and one that’s already on my list of must-stops! 🌿🍕
September 06 · Loredana Kataoka CaracasTucked right next to Madison Square Garden and Penn Station. Robeta's offers pies and single slices. I was the first customer as they had just opened. I got two slices one pepperoni and one Margarita from the first bite the dough was cooked perfectly, the right amount of cheese and was super fresh. Definitely the best slice I had on my trip and will be my first trip on my next trip. The mural on the wall really elevated the place and gave it that Brooklyn Edge.
June 30 · Malcolm Rouse - WestGreat location especially if you are going to an event near MSG.Forgot pictures of the pizzas but they were really good. They are not huge pizzas but definitely big enough for the 2 of us. Salads are quite large to share and the grilled bread with the cheese is deliciousDefinitely a solid place to eat. They have an outdoor patio, indoor seating and a take out/ slice counter.It’s a bit pricey for a pizza/ pasta place but I guess it’s the location.
July 27 · Andrea DiCastroWe came in pretty early to take a break and figure out our plans before check-in. It was too early for a full meal (and I’m lactose intolerant), so we ordered coffees and drinks instead. It turned into a nice, relaxing time to catch up. The manager was very pleasant and didn’t mind us taking over a small section with our luggage, which made things so much easier.
September 08 · Jenny D (Citybird_Adventures)Solid thin crust pizza and some great bread.Everything was super fresh and right out of the oven, so much so even tapping the bread with a knife caused to it steam.Very much worth your time to stop in. Either for a slice to go or sit down.
