\"Luigi's
Luigi’s simple looking slice belies the considerable skill that goes into making it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Luigi\u2019s Pizza<\/a><\/strong> in Park Slope is an old-school place (est. 1973) with a serious dough-management strategy.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never seen it, but Scott Wiener, of Scott’s Pizza Tours<\/a>, tells me that second-generation owner Gio Lonzo (Luigi\u2019s son, who now runs the place) has devoted the entire next-door storefront to a series of refrigerators all set to different temperatures, which house the dough at different stages of its fermentation. (How can he afford this space? The Lonzos own the building.)<\/p>\n

\"Luigi's
Luigi’s is a neighborhood favorite and almost always busy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It makes for a fantastic plain slice with tons of flavor. Worth seeking out not only for the pizza but for the hospitality Gio and crew radiate\u2014and for the authentic 1970s pizzeria vibe.<\/p>\n

This slice comes from a Brooklyn slice crawl I did with Scott and Serious Eats<\/a> founder Ed Levine, as part of a larger citywide fact-finding mission.<\/p>\n
