Ah yes! My social media page brings me here, therefore I must try it.
The pizza does not disappoint. But heck, if you are going to do it Neapolitan style, there is no way that you can go lower than a 3 star review, or in my review world, a 3.2/3.3 (that is a 6.5 for you ten scalers).
First, the non-food stuff.
-Easily accessible by the R train. Or you could your steps in and walk the extra 10-15 minutes to Atlantic Ave and you have plenty more options.
-The bathrooms are clean.
-The staff is friendly and honest.
-Service is a little slow.
-The hip hop vibe is off-putting. This is Park Slope/Downtown, not quite the rough and tough of other Brooklyn neighborhoods.
Now the food stuff.
-Meatballs I got are good, but not memorable. They are small, overpriced and the two free pieces of garlic bread do not compensate for an overly saucy dish.
-The Cappello di Totò is a pizza and calzone lovers dream. Both are melded beautifully. The cheese blend of fior di latte and ricotta with the hot soppressata create a balanced flavor that neither overwhelms nor belittles the digestive tract. Maybe it is that 00 flour in the pizza dough that makes it all go down without a fight.
-As a result of said flour, it is a chewy pizza. So eat this carefully with your hands (if you dare) or eat it with a knife and fork. This is a pie that is okay to do this with. Trust me.
-Pizza is a bit on the pricey, but again, this is Park Slope. What are you going to do?
Overall score I would say is a 3.6? 3.7? (Out of 10 a 7.3). Definitely not in the 8's for those of you 10 scorers at home.
I would come back, but not so fast.
