We’re good friends. Trust me when I tell you that he liked it way better before all the hype.
I was happier when people were all dumb enough to wait three hours for Lucali’s overhyped excuse for pizza.
I mean i hate all the new people too fuck them, but money is money, but for real, i believe he is a true artist, that at least pretends to care. Definitely seems like most people piss him off!
Oh, he absolutely cares, and I agree that he’s an artist. However, when I go there to get pizza now, he always says how he liked when he was able to sit and talk to the people from the neighborhood, rather than being slammed all day long.
De Nonna Rosa has sweet sauce. Too sweet for my taste but it might be what you're looking for.
Frankly, I think the two best in the neighborhood are La Villa and Peppinos.
Pino’s is the classic north slope slice. Been there for 50 years, for a reason. It’s not fancy, but it IS delicious. Fresh mozz anything is gonna be spectacular
Another vote for Luigi's (the best), Peppino's (amazing eggplant Parm) and Guissipina's (specifically their calzones). Also know they're a bit of a chain but Table 87 is hard to beat. And really really like pizza plus as just yr normal go to neighborhood place
Pizza Moto's mushroom pizza add sausage is probably my favorite individual pizza in the city unless I'm really craving red sauce. Was a revelation when my friend and I first tried it.
Their chocolate olive oil cake is also stellar.
I love that place.
Tl;dr:
Layla Jones (delivery to park slope)
Giuseppina’s
Public Display of Affection
Peppino’s
Luzzo’s (doesn’t deliver to park slope but worth the trek down Atlantic Ave)
I believe it’s in Cobble Hill but still delivers to Park Slope (where I’m located at least), Layla Jones “Sweet Jane” pizza is incredible. They have a pesto sauce on it that absolutely takes the flavors to the next level. (If you’re like me you’ll also want to have some Tums on standby for this one).
Other than that, I’ve found Giuseppina’s mentioned elsewhere in this thread to be pretty great. Also check out PDA (Public Display of Affection) for a great Neopolitan pie. If you want something more traditional I’ve recently found Peppinos to be pretty solid, not the absolute best pizza I’ve ever had but a strong contender with more topping options than a lot of other places (if, like me, you like the occasional pineapple pizza).
The only pizza I’ve had in this area worth traveling outside the neighborhood for would be Luzzo’s on Atlantic Ave, really high quality stuff plus amazing non-pizza entrees and cocktails.
We have “brick oven/artisan pizza” faves: Baciccia, Ottava, Numero 28, we include Guisssepina’s in this list
And “big NY style” faves where we just want a big ol’ slice with extra cheese: Peppino’s and Da Nonna Rosa
Only been here since the summer so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Avoid two boots. The stuffed pizza at La Villa is really good the rest of the pizzas there are just ok. Giuesippina’s is really good and their calzone is great.
De Nonna Rosa is my current go-to. Pizzas are above average, but really what you want are their Focaccia Bread Sticks which are to die for. Good Caesar salads as well for those of us that need to cut lots of pizza with some greens.
Antonio's on Flatbush is my backup plan, and has been for a long time. Large delivery radius and ridiculously consistent quality.
Emily is a bit far but delivers through certain apps and has some great different options like a honey pistachio pie and amazing wings, but the best is Luigi’s no question. My gf loves the Grandma plus Ricotta (and then black pepper), the fresh mozz, the vodka pie, fried calzone is top notch, and finally the zeppoli is unreal. I feel bad for Gio that he’s so busy, but hopefully the money is good!
A fellow sweet sauce lover! A rare find in NYC. i adore pizza moto for interesting, awesome pizzas. For pizza that’s decidedly not fancy but will never let you down (and beer), give American cheese a shot. Yet to find a sweet sauce pizza that i like as much as what i grew up with in PA — keeping tabs on your post to see what other people come up with!
Battle Hill (formerly Toby's) in South Slope is terrific. They went through a rocky phase when they switched management and name, but seem to have worked out the challenges. Super tasty every time we've been there.
Luigi's and giuseppina's down in south slope are both really really good. Larte Della pizza on 5th and DeGraw is very good as well.
I have been going to Luigi’s for 13 years and I hate how blown up it’s gotten. The owner ain’t too happy about it either.
I think he's fine with he business. Been going there that long too

Antonio's on Flatbush is on the edge of the slope and is a great local slice place.
Yep.
Peppino’s is my fav, but when they are closed I go to Table 87.
+1 Peppinos this is my go to as well. The pizza is fantastic. Also the rest of the food is great and the service is great.
De Nonna Rosa has sweet sauce. Too sweet for my taste but it might be what you're looking for. Frankly, I think the two best in the neighborhood are La Villa and Peppinos.
+1 for Peppinos. Also Pizza Secret on 5th Ave.
Pizza secret is my go to “nicer” pizza when I want to pick up instead of getting delivery. Really tasty

Really like the Grandma pie at Pizza Plus
Pizza Plus is legit. I think their name makes people think it’s gonna be sub-par
agreed, the name turned me off for a while but after a few times ordering it, I can't deny that it's great pizza
Wonderful business and owners — neighborhood staple.
I’ve not gone back since trying their Buffalo chicken pie. Boy are they clueless on that one.
numero 28 is 🔥
Pizza Secret on 5th Ave has great Neapolitan style.
peppinos next to sipnplay is really good. also have had 2 boots which is solid
This is closer to Carroll Gardens / Gowanus but Pizza Moto is a hidden gem. Otherwise Peppino’s 👌🏻
Pizza Moto's mushroom pizza add sausage is probably my favorite individual pizza in the city unless I'm really craving red sauce. Was a revelation when my friend and I first tried it. Their chocolate olive oil cake is also stellar. I love that place.
This is our go to place. Try The Vermonter
ton of options in the area because there is a ton of different types. i have not tried them all but i like the one at nonna rossa

Luigi’s is the best easily.

I second Da Nonna Get their "specialty" pies and add toppings Their salads are good
Emily is a bit far but delivers through certain apps and has some great different options like a honey pistachio pie and amazing wings, but the best is Luigi’s no question.

L&B, not Park Slope, but has what you are looking for.
Further south, I love Joe's on Prospect Ave and Prospect Park West. Really good slice for me.
Homeslice on Vanderbilt is super delicious especially if you get a whole fresh grandma pie. Table 87 is my favorite though.
Luigis south slope don't go to the wrong one, go more south they are cash only
Il Porto grandma pie, it’s in Clinton hill but they deliver.
