L'industrie started as a quiet Williamsburg slice shop until Massimo Laveglia's burrata slice — a crisp round topped post-oven with a soft white crown of cheese — became one of the most photographed foods in Brooklyn. The shop has since doubled its footprint and opened a West Village outpost, but the energy at South 2nd Street is still that of a corner joint that happens to make perfect slices.
The move is one classic slice and one special: the pepperoni cups properly, the vodka slice converts skeptics, and the burrata earns the hype. Slices are re-fired to order, so the bottom stays shatter-crisp even under heavy toppings. There are a few stools and a bench outside; most people eat on the sidewalk, folding paper plates in the standard Brooklyn posture.
