🧀 Thin-Crust Margherita and Squares
Margherita pizza in Bay Ridge has a reliable counter at Espresso Pizzeria, an old-school slice shop on 5th Avenue. The Margherita pie draws the praise here, with a crisp thin crust and sauce and cheese in steady balance for plenty of flavor.
Plain New York slices and squares share the menu, a choice between the familiar triangle and a square cut, and a whole pie works for a group order. There is no table seating, only standing room at the counter, and the space stays tight and functional with quick service. Eat on your feet or take it to go, with delivery also on offer.
The owner adds warmth to the wait, striking up story-filled conversation with anyone standing by for food. Find it at 9403 5th Ave, open Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 10 PM and Sunday from noon to 9 PM, an easy stop for a late bite.
