PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — A South Slope pizza joint is one of the best places to grab a slice in the entire borough, according to a new ranking.
Giuseppina's Brick Oven Pizza on Sixth Avenue was among the eateries that made Thrillist's list of "The 21 Best Pizza Restaurants in Brooklyn," which was released Tuesday.
The ranking included restaurants from Williamsburg down to Gravesend classic L&P Spumoni Gardens.

"...Brooklyn remains the epicenter for some of the most iconic, old-school joints in town," the outlet wrote. "Whether you’re grabbing a slice on the go or dining in to share a pie with loved ones, from Neapolitan to Roman or round to square, below is our list of the 21 best pizzerias in Brooklyn."
Giuseppina's, found near 20th Street, was far from the only pizza joint in the area to make the list. Mark Iocono's Lucali and his newcomer Baby Luc's in Carroll Gardens both made the list, along with F&F Pizzeria.

Still, Giuseppina's was the only pizzeria in Park or South Slope to make the list.
Here's what Thrillist had to say about the eatery:
Giuseppina’s Brick Oven Pizza
"Lauded for its super crisp, thin crust pies, this straightforward brick oven pizzeria comes from Chris Iacono, brother of Lucali owner Mark Iacono. Giuseppina’s channels a dark trattoria feel with a central wood-burning oven which fires a concise list of 19-inch pies: cheese, white, everything, and veggie, in addition to a savory and sweet calzone option. Many of the pies come finished with a heavy dose of fresh basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan."
