Clearly Corcoran has been Wiki-editing again!

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.

OK, I know when I'm beaten. That is a real source. :evil:
i don't really care one way or the other and have no interest in taking a side, but things do change...and it's not just the real estate biz...apparently the city of NY is on the bandwagon too with this one... -
My Choice would be LaVilla in Park Slope

their pizza is adequate at best. -

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.
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.
Exactly, I'll be dead and buried before I stop calling it Idlewild -
15th street would be South Slope. 20th street is North Sunset Park. Or better yet, we should just come up with a new name for that area: Greenwood Purgatory.
-
Yeah, if you're dividing the neighborhoods at 15th St. (why?) and saying that below 15th is a separate place called South Park Slope, that means you're cutting a couple of blocks off the real Park Slope. Under this scheme the Grand Prospect Hall is no longer in (ye olde) Park Slope.

Greenwood Purgatory is good, or how about Grave Slope?

Mine as well. I loved Oscars. I have yet to find a new "home" pizza place that's anything close to that. When I crave a good slice, I end up getting it in Manhattan. I'll have to check out T&B.
this is an awesome article about all the pizza places in the slope:

South of 17th is not Park Slope. "South Slope" is the area between the F Train stop on 7th Ave. and 17th street. And Park Slope is between Prospect Park West and 5th Ave. North Slope is between the F stop on 7th Ave. and Flatbush Ave to the north. 3rd and 4th Ave. are Gowanus, not Park Slope. New York City Department of Planning ignores the reality of the radically changing of the neighborhood past these borders.
As for pizza, I like Tomato and Basil. -
Subject: Luigi's on 5th
I can't believe no one has mentioned Luigi's on 5th between 20th and 21st. A hike for anyone living in Park Slope proper but for us in Greenwood/Sunset Park/South Slope Luigi's is a godsend. Favorites are the fresh mozzarella and the supreme. Puts all other slices to shame -it's that good. -
Yeah, 15th street doesn't make much sense as a boundary - the parkway makes for a neighborhood border. Anything South of that isn't the Slope.
But the Slope ends West at 4th avenue, not 5th avenue. -
Love Joes for a great Brooklyn slice, the way it used to be made. Also, we order from Tomato Basil ( the clam pie is excellent but have them repeat back what you ordered when you call :shock:, ), Brothers, La Villa, and Pepe's.
-
I ordered from Tomato and Basil once and was really disappointed. I can't remember if I had a regular pie or margherita or what. What should I order if I give them a shot again? Er, other than the clam - something vegetarian.
-
I can't believe no one has mentioned Peppino's. It's on 5th Ave. between 10th and 11th streets. Call it South Slope, Park Slope, whatever.. the pizza is excellent. Similar to Grimaldi's style pizza, fresh mozzerella, tart crushed tomato sauce, and nice crust, with the right amount of chewiness. Excellent crispy pepperoni if you like that. Their first location was in Bay Ridge, but they opened here about a year ago.

Actually a couple of people did mention Peppino's
-
Joe's BBQ chicken slice on 5th and 12th gives me little orgasms in my mouth with every single bite.
Howdy, Stranger!
