Slice of Brooklyn! Brooklyn's Best Artisanal Pizza

Five Spots for Great Pizza

I consider every day in Brooklyn National Pizza Day. I was raised on NYC pizza, so I know how the good stuff should taste. As a teenager, I used to think only non-native New Yorkers eat pizza with a knife and fork. However this isn’t a list of old school pizza joints; there's a growing trend of new artisanal pizza restaurants opening in Brooklyn. And I’ll admit, when I’m at these fancy new pizza places, I eat like a proper grownup with a napkin on my lap and a knife and fork in hand. 

It doesn’t have to be National Pizza Day for you to enjoy a slice of Brooklyn pizza. Have a pizza dinner at these five relatively new and eternally tasty spots. From hip to homey, these places are sure to please even the pickiest eater.

Located on Church Avenue between Kensington and Prospect Park South, this moderately priced restaurant has a menu of mouth watering sourdough pizzas named after various Brooklyn neighborhoods.

Both cozy and atmospheric, Barbocino serves incredible Neapolitan wood-oven pizzas. In addition to stellar pizzas, they have a selection of tasty salads and appetizers. If you’re a seafood fan, you must order the Cherry Stone Clams pizza. But all of the pizzas at Barbocino are crowd pleasers. Expect to wait for a table, because this place gets packed.
