Roberta's is a New American pizzeria in Brooklyn, New York. Located in the neighborhood of East Williamsburg, it is known for its wood oven cooked pizza and hipster vibe.^[2][3][4][5] The restaurant serves pizza containing ingredients cooked from a rooftop garden, and houses a radio station in the rear of the building.^[4][5]

Roberta's has recently gained notoriety for its so-called "Tiki Disco" parties, which are thrown throughout Brooklyn,^[6] and in 2013 at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee.^[7][8] That same year, USA Today published a column from The Daily Meal which named Roberta's as one of America's top 15 pizzerias.^[9]

Roberta's opened a second location in Culver City, Los Angeles in September 2018^[10] and a third in the old Domino Sugar Refinery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2020.
