Lucali’s Mark Iacono Opens Baby Luc’s with Square Slices and Long Lines | Eater NY

"Located at 387 Court Street on the corner of First Place, Baby Luc's is a casual Carroll Gardens slice shop Iacano opened with chef Aminu Tedla and restaurateur Cobi Levy; it draws block-long lines like Lucali but with fewer rules. He launched with four square pizzas—Plain, pepperoni, sausage and pepper, and ricotta with broccoli rabe—priced about $3.50 to $4 each, meant to crisp in a gas oven and inspired by the Sicilian pizzas of baker Adam Leonti. The shop aims for a classic slice-shop feel with tile floors, a few high-top standing tables, and a signed 1974 Sports Illustrated featuring Julius Erving; unlike Lucali it accepts credit cards, secured a liquor license, and offers a short drinks list with pre-batched negroni cocktails (mezcal or gin) and draft beer from Other Half while a wine list is on the way. Opened earlier this month and often selling out after only a couple of hours (doors have been opening at 5 p.m.), the team plans to expand hours (roughly 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.) and add items like chicken parm sandwiches, meatball heroes, and baseball-sized arancini." - Luke Fortney
