Best Pizza Slice of 2025

Last updated: Feb 2026

Who?

L'Industrie

Highest Aggregate Score: 9.5/10

"Home of the burrata slice"

Why scored highest?

Serious Eats: “superb crust, char, air, texture.”

Food & Wine (Bryce Schuman): ““The added semolina and whole wheat flour in the dough gives it such a great texture,””

Serious Eats (Orlow): “The burrata slice — the one they’re most known for — shows off a lovely contrast between cool, milky dairy and the warm tomato sauce.

NYT: “ The flour is freshly milled, the ingredients are imported from Italy and the slices seamlessly marry New York and Italian traditions. This pizza is aided by a fresh-tasting sauce and a crust whose toasty, sourdough-esque flavor stands on its own.”
