Forcella is an Italian pizzeria and trattoria featuring a menu of nearly 20 Neapolitan pies made in a wood-fired oven. Located in the heart of Williamsburg, Forcella is known for bringing the authentic Neapolitan tradition of flash-frying pizza to New York. Featuring wood-fired pizzas, several fried pies, antipasti, pasta and decadent desserts, Forcella’s menu stands out by marrying authentic Italian ingredients with locally sourced Brooklyn products like brisket from neighboring barbecue purveyor Fette Sau and Mike’s Hot Honey.

Set in an intimate and charming space, Forcella is more than your neighborhood delivery spot. It’s a culinary experience with unobstructed views of pizzaiolos manning the wood-fired oven and the occasional flashy air toss. The walls are lined with exposed brick and Old World photographs to transport guests to a true Napoli pizzeria. Forcella is perfect for hosting large parties, providing quality pizza for lunch, dinner and late night.

pizza was decent. i would return if i was in the neighborhood, but just to split a very simple pizza -- like a margherita or bianca -- and not bother spending an extra $5-7 for toppings (which were underwhelming). the staff was super nice. our rice balls were cold and they were really apologetic about it and sent us new ones, but would've been a good touch to take them off our bill. good place for a quick, simple bite and a glass of wine or something, but nothing more

I always liked Forcella at Bowery in Manhattan. This Forcella in Brooklyn is just aa nice. Excellent Neopolitan pizza and salads, consistent. Also the staff is very friendly and provides excellent service. The space is small and people are good about keeping the noise level done and there is no wait. I am going again next week, worth the drive. I have tasted just about every Neopiltan pizza in NYC. Eataly - loud, long wait time, food is sometimes cold. Paulie Gee - long wait time.

The service was awful. We weren’t done with our appetizer and they brought out main course. And the food was bland. I won’t be back!!!!

The food was outstanding. Great spot for a date that won't break the bank. Highly recommend the Kale Caesar Salad and Rice Balls for a couple of starters. We look forward to returning soon.
