Master Critic Review
L’industrie Pizzeria
8.6
The West Village outpost of L’Industrie brings Williamsburg’s cult slices—airy crust, creative toppings, and Italian-leaning combinations—to Christopher Street. It closes around 10pm, but functions as a pre- or early-late-night destination before drinks, with lines of pizza obsessives snaking past the counter all evening.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited on Christopher Street and surrounding blocks; expect difficulty after 6pm. No valet or dedicated lot.
Dress code: Casual and stylish; typical West Village streetwear is the norm. No formal expectations.
Noise level: Moderate—busy counter energy and sidewalk chatter, but you can comfortably hold a casual conversation.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes depending on peak lines between 7–9pm.
Weekday lunch: Usually minimal wait; lines build only during evening hours.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Strong options—margherita, burrata, roasted vegetable slices, and rotating specials.
Vegan options: Limited—may offer one or two cheeseless slices, but not a dedicated vegan program.
Gluten-free options: No gluten-free crust; safe options are minimal beyond salads (if available).
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes for casual dates—high-quality slices, lively energy, and a quick format that keeps things low-pressure. Not ideal if you want a long, seated meal.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no reservations and seating is limited; most guests eat at the counter or take slices to go. Expect to stand during peak hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Kid-friendly for quick bites—simple slices and fast service. Best for ages 6+ due to tight space and lines.
Best For
Better for: Creative toppings, IG-ready presentation, and top-tier dough execution compared with other Village slice shops.
Skip if: You need late-night hours past 10pm, ample seating, or gluten-free crust options.
