I know you think this blog should probably be all about pizza, and why am I writing about a roast beef place? But Roll-N-Roaster is one of my favorite places in NYC. I don’t have the history with it that a lot of native Brooklynites do, but something about its way of being\u2014its aesthetic, its vibe, its menu\u2014speaks to me on a deep level, and certain aspects of it creep into my mind when I think about what an eventual Margot’s Pizza would look like, how it would feel, and even whether there would be some sort of birthday wheel element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of the Birthday Wheel, the last time I went was back in March, when I did a solo visit in the late evening and won $15 in RNR coins on the spin-and-win wheel. Inflation means they only lose value sitting in a drawer, so my wife and I paid a visit yesterday while Margot was on a play date at a friend\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is almost everything we ordered. Not pictured: clam chowder and the free plain pizza we got for having ordered at least $35 in food. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We ordered two roast beefs (mine with \u201ccheez\u201d), apple pie (my wife\u2019s \u00e0 la mode), onion rings, corn nuggets, cheez fries, and clam chowder (not pictured). Since we spent more than $35, we got one of their thin-crust pizzas free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This visit I learned that my wife is the kind of person who orders chocolate<\/em> ice cream on her apple pie. (When I posted this to Instagram, it actually turned out to be a game-changer for a few people.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My ordering game was a bit off, and I went for a Diet Coke rather than my usual lemonade\u2014hey, I needed some caffeine ??\u200d\u2642\ufe0f (If I weren\u2019t going nuts, my ideal order would be RB cheez, apple pie, lemonade).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ah! Does this satisfy your need for pizza content? If you order $35 or more at R-N-R, you get a free thin-crust plain pizza. It’s not terrible, but it’s not the roast beef.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Still feeling full this morning. And I probably won\u2019t go again until March to see if I can beat $15 on the birthday wheel. Until next post, hasta!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
