Lucali's opening in Park Slope

I LOVE La Villa's pizza. Total comfort food.

Pizza Plus can't hold a candle to Friend's when it comes to the by-the-slice joints.

hmm where is this Friend's place?

Looks like Kitchen Bar will now become Lot 2. http://eater.com/archives/2009/06/monday_opening_report_10.php

agreed, good pizza at toby's. the secret to saving cash there is to drink a lot since the pizza is pricey and the drinks are cheap. obviously this only works if you are a lush.

i can't believe lucali would open up a branch right down the street. this might be considered blasphemy but i don't think lucali is any better than toby's anyway (i just can't get around that cracker crust).

Congratulations! It only took you 37 posts to figure out I'm a lush :-)

And, I rather they didn't expand. I want my pizza made by that gorgeous hunk of man, no one else.

EDIT to add. Ehem. Pizza is only $18 and is feeds 2 hungry people. 3 people if you are not a glutton like me.

I got a plain pie about 2 weeks ago - it was $25 (good but not worth $25). Not sure when you were there that it cost $18.

That better be damned good pizza for
$25 for a plain pie! I know, $12.50 a person for dinner is cheap, but, it's pizza!

Sounds like they definitely raised prices, I haven't been there since last fall. Too bad.

It is.

Friend's is on 7th Ave and Windsor Pl. South Slope. I wouldn't go waaaay out of my way for a slice, but it's our go-to place for delivery pizza. (and they do great garlic knots!)

I never bother going there....will have to check it out when I am mobile again because both of the places on PPW (Sabella's and Joe's) are horrible

enzo's is no great shakes either. besides which they don't deliver.

If you're in the South Slope...Lenny's is the best for delivery.

Ugh, you people are making me want pizza. I was trying to cut back since I started getting extra free items "because I'm such a good customer". Embarrassing!

What about Luigi's? Are they any good?

You think that's embarrassing... When I was in college, a pizza guy recognized me at a party by my address... The guy just walked up to me and said, "hey, you're southside ave, apartment 1R..." I didn't recognize the guy, I just kinda looked at him and he said "I deliver for Napoli..."
Egad. That's when you know you order too much pizza...

Speaking of Lucali's and Toby's...

What's really amazing, you don't have to pay for the over priced pizza.

You are seriously F-ing me.

I wouldn't.

I go to Lucali at least once a month (YUM) but the prices are ridics. Last time I was there I think it was $8 for artichoke hearts as a topping on one pie. EIGHT DOLLARS. I also feel like sometimes the waitresses just make up prices - regardless it is awesome, candle-lit, not overrun with tourists, and BYOB so I always go back even though getting the bill sometimes hurts.
SO excited for this to hit 6th Ave!
