This place should be a national landmark. The owner is certainly a national treasure. This is the best by-the-slice pizza anywhere. Period.
The entertainment value is enormous. The owner moves at the speed of molasses, but he's a gem and his pizza making is a art form to observe, from the manual crank cheese graters, to the way he takes the hot pies out of the oven by with both hands, tosses them on the counter, and chucks a handful of freshly grated parmagian on top to melt in while he's cutting the slices.
The customer base is also classic Brooklyn. Not yuppie brownstone Brooklyn, but REAL Brooklyn. It all adds to the charm and authenticity. I think there's a short documentary to be done here.
You must go here before you die, and preferably much sooner so you can repeat.
Pros: Best slice pizza , in the universe, no kidding
Cons: a little unkempt, slow service
