L'industrie pizzeria
RESTAURANT SUMMARY

Where Italian tradition meets New York innovation, L'industrie pizzeria New York City has transformed the humble slice into an artisanal masterpiece that draws devoted crowds to both its original Williamsburg location and refined West Village outpost. Founded by Italian-born Massimo Laveglia in 2017, this acclaimed pizzeria has swiftly ascended to legendary status among the city's most discerning pizza aficionados.
Laveglia's journey from Italy to Brooklyn brought with it an unwavering commitment to authentic craftsmanship and premium ingredients. His philosophy centers on long fermentation techniques that create the signature crust—crispy yet chewy with perfectly puffy edges—that has earned L'industrie pizzeria consistent recognition from The New York Times and Eater NY as one of the city's finest slice destinations. The pizzeria's rapid expansion from a small Williamsburg counter to multiple locations speaks to its exceptional quality and devoted following.
The cuisine at L'industrie pizzeria elevates classic New York-style pizza through meticulously sourced Italian ingredients and time-honored techniques. The legendary Burrata slice showcases creamy imported burrata atop their signature thin crust, while the Fig & Goat Cheese creation harmoniously balances crème fraîche, fig jam, bacon, and mozzarella for sophisticated sweet-savory complexity. The Tartufo, featuring luxurious truffle sauce and mushrooms, demonstrates the kitchen's commitment to premium ingredients. Even classics like the Margherita achieve perfection through San Marzano tomatoes and fresh basil. For adventurous palates, the spicy salami with hot honey delivers perfect heat balance, while Wednesday-only sandwiches like chicken cutlet with vodka sauce showcase culinary versatility beyond pizza.
The experience varies dramatically between locations, each offering distinct charms. The original Williamsburg spot maintains an authentic slice-shop energy with limited seating, visible pizza-making, and bustling sidewalk atmosphere that captures New York's vibrant street food culture. The West Village location provides a more refined experience with dark wood paneling, exposed brick, and pressed tin ceilings creating intimate ambiance perfect for groups. Italian cinema posters and Ferrari advertisements add nostalgic charm, while the open kitchen allows diners to witness master pizzaiolos stretching dough and crafting each slice. The Manhattan location's natural wine program complements the artisanal pizzas, elevating casual dining into sophisticated gastronomy.
Reservations aren't accepted at these counter-service establishments, where ordering at the counter and potential queues are part of the authentic New York pizza experience. The quality justifies any wait, with each location offering standing tables and limited seating that encourages the social, communal atmosphere that defines great pizzerias. L'industrie pizzeria represents the pinnacle of New York City fine dining's casual luxury—where exceptional ingredients, masterful technique, and authentic atmosphere create unforgettable culinary moments worth seeking out.
