South Brooklyn Pizza: Beyonce and Jay-Z may love the pizza at Lucali’s, but they can’t wash down their pie with a glass of wine or a cocktail there. Enter South Brooklyn Pizza, the newest contender for brick oven pizza perfection in Carroll Gardens, complete with a fully-stocked bar. Owner Jim McGown, a Brooklyn real estate developer and certified math geek (his degree’s in Pure Mathematics), is obsessed with artisanal Neapolitan-style pizza making. So obsessed, the pizzeria features a 19th century brick oven imported from Naples, Italy. You won’t find any measly slices here—all pizzas are served the old-fashioned way, as in dinner-plate sized Margheritas, with Tuscan-style thin crusts, imported cheeses and herbs, and locally-produced toppings such as Esposito’s Italian sausage. Keep an eye out for monthly pizza-making classes, and, perhaps, sightings of hip hop’s dynamic pizza-loving duo. |
