Lucali Pizza’s New Slice Shop Baby Luc’s Leaves Much to Be Desired - Eater NY
"On a recent night at Baby Luc’s, an accessible Brooklyn slice shop by the team behind the more exclusive Lucali, a staffer noticed I had gotten caught cycling in a rainshower, so he extended a courtesy not typical for a New York restaurant. He invited me to sit inside the dining room — and to bring in my dripping wet road bike as well. Minutes later I was sipping a mezcal negroni and filling up on square slices laden with gobs of creamy ricotta and bitter broccoli rabe. The rest of the pies weren’t particularly notable, but the hospitable gesture reminded me, yet again, of how vital slice joints are, both as neighborhood gathering spots and as affordable-ish places of respite from the elements. That’s something to celebrate, even if one should expect more from Mark Iacono, one of the city’s most renowned pizzaiolos." - Ryan Sutton
