On Yelp! you know better than to ask what people think of a neighborhood institution. Simply put, it is the best pizza in Bay Ridge. You get your pizza in the blink of an eye. Prices are fine. You get in and out so you can get on your way to the BQE or one of the gazillion or so busses. Go!

Best slice in Brooklyn. Classic pizza shop with a history in photos on the walls. Great people slinging regular and Sicilian pizzas. Get it.

I made my first trip to Pizza Wagon when I arrived in NYC many years ago. The place hasn't changed one bit since my last trip. The interior of Pizza Wagon needs some love. I ordered two Sicilian slices, and I grabbed a table. The Pizza was good, but not as good as I remembered it. My bill with a bottle of water was $7.75. Thank U next!

A staple of bay ridge, this is an old school no frills pizzeria joint serving a solid slice. Nothing fancy with ambiance, but always reliable and good tasting when you in the need of a quick slice on the go. Always high on my list of spots to stop in when in bay ridge.

My regular spot closed down and my kids wanted NY style pizza.Took the troop out to my after school high school spot and got me a a slice and knew this would be the pie I'm bringing home to MN. Told the guy want I was doing and he carefully boxed it up for me and I was on my way. My family destroyed it the minute I got back into town. Alice was cheesy, the bottom had a nice crispness to it and a good chew even after reheating it the next day. True institution to a NY slice.

While in the Bayridge area, after an hour of walking in the Dyker Heights area and taking in all the beautiful homes decorated for the holidays & viewing all the Christmas lights; we stopped by Pizza Wagon to fill our bellies. It's a local spot with vintage vibes and spot on pizza. While we watched the staff prepare the dough, mix in the sauce, cheese and other toppings there was no doubt the pizza would be delicious. We tried the classic slice, and grabbed a hard to come by table in this small spot. The piping hot pizza warmed my heart and belly as I took my first few few bites. The sauce was just perfect and that's truly hard to come by in a city full of pizza joints with a crunchy crust too. The cheese was great and not too stringy. After devouring my first slice I decided to get a second slice with mushrooms and it was just as tasty. This will be my go to spot for filling my belly when I'm back in the area. The staff are super friendly and accommodating too.

As classic as Brooklyn pizza can get. As a pizza connoisseur born and raised in Brooklyn, pizza wagon is the standard I use when comparing other pizzeria's. They could charge more, but they don't. They could have limited hours of operation, but they are open early and close after midnight on Friday and Saturdays. Come here for the Brooklyn pizza experience without the long lines and tourist trap prices.

Good Pizza! Not a fancy place but they make good and fresh stuff! Good Sicilian slices.

Slice joint, been there a long time. I got a slice and a spinach stick and ate it right there on the fly. Cash only!

Perhaps it is because I have not had pizza in quite some time, but a new contender has emerged for me as having one of the best pizza slices in New York City, definitely in Brooklyn. It also happens to be in a neighborhood that once thrived with pizzerias, now being overtaken by the influx of a new demographic. The interior of this pizza shop is beyond retro, with counters inside and for outside customers. The sliding red chairs, the formica tables, the smell of the pizza cooking in the oven, it just feels like a Brooklyn pizza shop. When I think of a New York pizza shop, this is what I think of. Best of all, it is only a five minute walk from the 86th street station on the R train. For lack of a better word, the pizza here rocks. It is simple, but perfect in every way. From the moment the pizza comes out of the oven, to the very last bite, each bite tastes exactly the same, and it is the consistency of this slice is what makes it so perfect. To prove their worth however, I had to get two other slices, a white slice, and a Sicilian square. As mentioned, the plain triangle slice is perfect in every way. Just the right amount of crisp to chew, the thin crust pulls but does not lose its integrity whatsoever. The slice never flops, and stays hot for a good while after it leaves the oven, gradually cooling, but still retaining its flavor. The cheese to sauce ratio is spot on. It is a clean slice, not too salty, but just a little bit to where you can taste it, and with little fuss. I could eat this slice for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late night and I trust I am getting the same slice every time. The white slice is almost as perfect as the plain. Perfectly dolloped globs of ricotta, mixed in with just the right amount of garlic, and that perfect thin crust. Too many times pizzerias get cute on a white slice, but this one restrains itself nicely and as a result, is still a perfect slice. Lastly, I had to go for the trifecta and get a Sicilian square. The perfect Sicilian square should have a fluffy top, yet a crunchy undercarriage to it, not too messy, and you should be able to eat this with your hands and not a fork and knife. It checks every box, with flying colors. Super fluffy, crispy underside, and the sauce and cheese are solid. The sauce has a bit of a sweetness and slight richness, but it passes quickly, and before you know it, you just finished that square. I did not ask, but always, always get a corner square. Corners are the best, and though I did not get a forger this time, I will be sure to get one next time. For $3 a slice, this is absolutely a steal. They also prepare whole pies and calzones and charge a little extra for toppings, but that pretty much sums up the menu. They really just do pizza and calzones, much like Luigi's in Park Slope, who also makes a dynamo pizza slice in Brooklyn that highly I recommend you try. The only negative is that it is a cash only business. That is fine with me, if that is the only negative for this old school pizzeria. It is a small price to pay for such an underrated, but outstanding pizza slice.
