The classics like Lucali in Carroll Gardens and Di Fara in Midwood are always worth the pilgrimage. Both are old-school, both have lines, both deserve them.
For the new wave: Lucky Charlie in Bushwick, Mano's in Ridgewood, L'Industrie (the burrata slice is the move; the line is real but moves fast), Mama's TOO! on the Upper West Side, Ceres in Tribeca, and Chrissy's in Greenpoint.
