What people say, in short
Wheated is a Brooklyn pizzeria that many people recommend, with several describing its pies as New Haven style and one calling it the first place that comes to mind for that style in the borough. One commenter praises the sourdough crust and the bar, and another says they have never had a bad pie there. The picture is not unanimous: one diner finds the pizza inconsistent at times while still considering it a good option, and another says the regular menu pie is only New Haven inspired, with the closest version appearing as an occasional special.
