I ordered delivery from here off of Seamless. The delivery arrived between 30-45 minutes late and the pizza was cold. I was not impressed with the pizza as it was greasy and the crust was overcooked.
Clearly this is a neighborhood favorite, for I had to wait a few minutes to get a free seat at 3 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon. This was on a only somewhat mild January day, when the wind blew across Prospect Park and threatened to interrupt the football games taking place on the now-brown meadows.
I have a small list of gripes from my experience – the service was very slow, the cashier absent for several minutes when I wanted to pay for my roll, the ATM was out of order and they slapped a $1 fee to pay by credit card. None of these errors were fatal, and the classic New York pizza with a bit of char and a nice cheese blend meant I got exactly what I wanted when looking for a neighborhood slice.
That's probably what's allowed this place to stay around for so long, and what will it allow to keep around long after I leave the city as well.
A stop over at this place has become a new tradition after Barbes. But the history goes back much much further.
Back through the mists of time, I lived in Park Slope for most of a year. This was when I first moved to New York City. It was when you didn't cross flatbush. It was when the subways ran intermittently, broke down, stalled & created delays.
It was in these mid-nineties days when I first discovered this pizza joint. Same booth seating is there now. It has that old feel to it. It's nostalgic, ok I said it!
If you are taking the F train to park Slope, you'll at some point stop in here. Don't worry your head. You won't be disappointed. The recipe is good, and freshness is reliable. Enjoy the old new york scene.
This shop is right on the corner when you get off the F train so is a convenient place to grab a slice of you will be headed to the hospital—- but don't. Although the place is clean and the service is good the pizza (especially for Brooklyn) was sub par. I got a slice toppings that was 4.75 and I was charged an extra dollar because I didn't have cash:-/ so for 6.00 I was expecting some ooey-gooey-worth-breaking-my-diet- goodness but the pizza was dry and not very flavorful.
I have been coming here since I could walk. My parents grew up coming here as well. Conveniently located near the park, and train station. The chicken Parmesan hero has been a staple of mine (especially on a snow day!)
The pizza is not brick oven, thin crust but because of my memories here as a child, I will always be a fan. Those swinging doors to the bathroom have made this pizzeria spot a park slope landmark!
I've been to this pizzeria twice, with the same intentions both times. I was hungry, it was late, I wanted pizza…and they were open.
Do I think they have good pizza? It's your standard New York pizza slice. Nothing extra ordinary, neither is it next level, it's just a NY pizza slice.
The staff is really friendly and they accept cash or credit. Yes, they have restrooms just in case….
There mozzarella sticks were not that great so I don't suggest getting the mozzarella sticks, I do suggest there white slice and there regular slice with pepperoni or without, but who doesn't love pepperoni??
If you're hungry for late night pizza, and don't want to spend the money to go to a coal/brick oven pizza place this is the pizzeria for you.
Metered parking, located on the corner. Quick service.
The chicken parm hero was actually really good except one thing, the bread wasn't toasted! Ahhh how much I love when my bread is toasted. I was disappointed to see it wasn't. But I must admit, it was tasty either way. The pizza is also really good here except it's super overpriced to me. A grandma slice cost me about $4 and that's just crazy talk. But it's understandable because it's in park slope but still…UGH!
Stopped in for my favorite type of slice (chicken parmesan), and was sorely disappointed. It was served to me lukewarm, and just had no flavor and the chicken was dry.
Also, is it too much to ask to have parmesan shakers to add a little extra flavor? Doesn't just apply to this place….come on NYC pizza places!!
