Open since 1953, Lenny’s currently feels like 1985. But we’ve got to start somewhere, so Lenny’s it is. So get thee to these slice shops you’ll be rewarded with incredible pizza, and earn a five-slice rating for Brooklyn pizza realness.ġ0) Lenny’s Pizzeria 1969 86th Street, BensonhurstĪs this is a list of best-ofs, the lowest slice on here is still one of the best around. They’re in neighborhoods like Bay Ridge, Sheepshead Bay, Gravesend, Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights, and Kensington. They range from $2.30 to $3.75 per slice (most fall exactly at $2.50) and if you do get to the entire list, you’ll tour parts of Brooklyn that still look today much like they did decades ago-especially inside of these parlors. So without further ado-and, especially for you, North Brooklyn residents, as you wait for Paulie Gee’s slice heaven to open later this year-here are ten of the borough’s most exceptional slices, ranked from our least to most-favorite. Our Hall of Fame list stands-and it should be noted that this list and the last preclude mention of Di Fara because you don’t need us to tell you to eat there-but Brooklyn bakes more than one top-quality slice. ![]() So, we set out to find the best of those slices in Brooklyn. And though finding a slice is never an issue, getting your hands on an especially excellent one-the perfectly-thin, crispy-yet-chewy crust, moderately sauced, with a tangy, gooey, mozzarella finish-is harder than you might imagine. But New Yorkers are equally passionate about eating a slice. ![]() Fittingly, there are about as many places to eat baked dough with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella in the city as there are… bars? Rats? (Sorry to bring our city’s official rodent into the conversation, but the pairing of New Yorker plus pizza is just as natural heck, even our rats love it.) And in the past decade, fantastic wood oven pie-makers have made a mark and multiplied, especially in Brooklyn. Five slices equals “down to the molecular level,” while one means “has trouble using the subway” and “eats a slice with a fork and a knife.” When a signifier of cultural realness is based on a single product, you know it’s powerful. By Natalie Rinn Pizza is so symbolic of New York City that the New York Times created a rating system measured in slices that determines which presidential candidate is the truest New Yorker.
