Roman Square Slices with a Crackly Crust in Brooklyn

Impasto serves Roman pizza in thick squares at 373 Waverly Avenue in Brooklyn. The al taglio slices differ from traditional Sicilian styles, keeping a light, airy interior above a charred, paper thin bottom that crackles. That contrast gives the slice its character before the toppings enter the conversation.

Fresh bufala mozzarella and roasted Italian tomatoes lead the simple combinations. A vegan marinara offers another direction, and fresh sourdough loaves are also sold at the shop. Take a loaf home alongside the pizza, or keep the stop focused on a square.

Outdoor benches make the sidewalk the dining space, with no indoor seating or bathroom at the shop. Plan on a slice pickup or an outdoor perch rather than an indoor table. Impasto opens daily from noon to 9 PM, a window that covers both an afternoon stop and an evening takeaway.
