What's the Best Pizza in the Slope?

Lenny's slice
Anthony's pie

WaaaaH?? Carny!
Tomato and Basil makes an excellent grandma slice and their cheese slice was the best according to Serious Eats slice reviewer.

Technically they are on the Gowanus side of PS. But damn, even their meatball parm is delish.

T & B are inconsistent, sometimes very good sometimes not good at all. I've gotten some weird things from there (eg whole pitted black olives on my pizza, not sliced.)

That place 5th ave pizza on 5th and union was a good slice. I was Bummed when that closed.

In my opinion the only standouts are just outside of Park Slope: Toby's Public House and Franny's. The pizza might be a little bit better at Franny's but the better atmosphere, prices, bar, and the lack of attitude make Toby's the easy choice for me (not to mention that they actually slice the pizza for you instead of that pretentious bullshit at Franny's). Unfortunately, it's a few blocks south of the Prospect expwy so it's really in Greenwood Heights, Sunset Park or whatever people are calling that area these days. Also, since neither of them are slice places they are pricier (they both make their versions of neapolitan-style single serve pizzas).

I haven't had anything better than a slightly above average slice in Park Slope proper but there are a lot of places I haven't tried. T & B is pretty good if you are in the area but not really worth going out of your way for. I haven't been to Enzo's but I've had Peppino's at the Bay Ridge location and thought it was good but not great, a definite step up from your average slice place with prices to match.

Make my own. Never disappointed.

Definitely slim pickins here. La Villa is the best by the pie spot in the slope, with Anthonys likely following. For slices, def the Joe's on 5th, but they are still not great. When the new Lucali's opens (the new name escapes me) they will bring some good pies to south slope.

I just had a slice a couple of days ago at Princess on 5th ave and 14th and it was one of the best I've had in a while. Plus, there's always a seat available in there because it's a big place and blissfully no pop music to be endured.

Wow. I seriously think Princess is one of the worst pizzas in the Slope. I used to try it after Harbor Fitness.......blech. Sauce is way too sweet and pizza much too doughy. :pukel:

That's awesome news! But I don't know what people are smoking that they're referring to things south of the Prospect Expressway as being in Park Slope, even "South Slope."

Well, since the topic of the thread is "What's the Best Pizza in Park Slope?" and the restaurant from the article is not in Park Slope, yes it does.

they need to get people over to that rather secluded place somehow, and i think saying south slope is a better bet than greenwood heights (which most people haven't really heard of...especially those outside this general vicinity...)

lucali is a name brand which wants to be associated with a name brand neighborhood. it's all about marketing.

It is not in Park Slope by any definition, no matter how many times they repeat it. I understand their motivation, but I don't think they'll have any problem getting people to come there without lying about what neighborhood it's in as long as their pizza is the real deal. People go to Midwood for DiFara's.

carnivore...some people do actually call it south slope....i generally hate wikipedia, but clearly your assertion that no one would call this south slope isn't really correct...

**
South Park Slope, Brooklyn is a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. It is sandwiched between Greenwood Heights and Park Slope, bordered by 15th Street to the north, 24th Street to the south, Fourth Avenue to the west, and Prospect Park West and Green-Wood Cemetery to the east. While the name "south Slope" has been used for many years, the area was officially designated "South Park Slope" when it was rezoned by the New York City Department of City Planning in 2005.[1] It is primarily made up of pre-war row houses, although there has been a spate of new, high-rise construction in recent years.

damn bloomberg!
