pizza recommendations?

if i wanted to order some plain old regular pizza pie, possibly with a topping like mushrooms but nothing fancier, where in the area would you say is the most delicious?

also, bonus question, where can i get challah bread to make french toast?

    We order from La Villa, but for The Speciale, which has a bunch of junk on it
    We pick it up, their delivery is slow.
    I think it depends on what end of the Slope you're on - Anthony's, for the South Slope, no?
    :D

    Exhaustively argued already, and I think most of it still holds, here

    Don't know the name of this place, on 5th between 10th and 11th, but love their plain slices. Old school pizza, jus like I like it--slightly floppy thin crust, and extra sweet tomato sauce.

    Unfortunately, this is one of Brooklyn's pizza dead zones, with no really exceptional pizza around. Antonio's (on Flatbush) is ok, and Joe's (on 7th) makes a credible pie, but there's nothing really great. FWIW, I think the Grandma pizza is much much better than the regular slice/pie at Antonio's.

    I think you're talking about Joe's, which I really like...do you mean the place with the open window and the ices?

    Lenny's is very good too

    If you gotta time-machine, it would be Jack's Pizzeria on Ave. M, off East 13th St. *sigh*

    But one really good place is Pizza On The Run in Coney Island... 29-32 Stillwell Ave. 718-946-0395 NO DELIVERY though =(

    i think north park slope, especially could really use a great, pizza place that stays open late. what about in the corner spot right where you get out of the bergen 2/3 stop next to bergen bagels? who knows, but i think the neighborhood could support another one. maybe even on 7th ave...

    You can never overdo the pizza debate. I say we have a new one every three months or so just to keep close tabs on the local pizza joints.

    i currently stand by Lenny's (sicilian with sauce on top, damn man) and Brother's Pizza cause the guys there are always so damn happy that you're getting some pizza. And i dig their knots somethin' fierce.

    What's the name of the pizza place on the PH side of Flatbush below 7th Ave? I thought their pies were great, but I don't think they deliver...

    im a fan of pino's- 7th ave between 1st and 2nd---- grew up going there, still go on occasion, they have a phenomenal whole wheat sicillian (sp?!) with tons of veggies and fresh motz! love!!!!

    challah (no need to say bread afterwards) is best prob from midwood (take the Q train to avenue J) and pick whichever place you'd like- my personal favorites are chiffons (on coney island ave between J and K) and for a whole wheat challah there is a place that starts with a "p" on the corner of coney island ave and avenue K (pieroges, or something like that)--- they make a "canadian" style challah... if you end up going to difara's, these will be really close by, so it won't be so out of the way...

    There is no place that rivals DiFara pizza... Take it from a Midwood girl who grew up in the neighborhood and remembers the taste of this pizza when it was $15... and it still tastes the same...

    Tomato + Basil is excellent. It's at 4th & Union. I particularly like their eggplant pie. Every other local pizza place is crap, in my opinion.

    I second Tomato & Basil. Not excellent, but for a local place it's good.
    I like the eggplant and their grandma/pa or what ever you call it :-k

    Seriously though, Di Fara is a legend but they are don't deliver to PS!!! and the OP's original question is asking for a local pizza. So, I'll also throw in Pinos, Roma and Pizza by the Park. Pizza by the Park does an amazing fresh mozzarella and basil slice =P~ and they do some interesting but delicious toppings, like their Cajun shrimp slice (really good!).

    Another vote for Lenny's here. Plain old fashioned good Brooklyn Pizza. They've been around for a very long time, so clearly they know what they are doing.

    Sad but true -- sad that Di Fara's is not in Park Slope.

    Jamzer, I agree. Pizza threads need to be done regularly! I second the vote for PINO'S. Dependable, regulah pizza, and you can sit there forever.
    Franny's was written up yesterday--looking forward to going there.
