Crown Heights Spot Among The Best Pizza In Brooklyn, Ranking Says

CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — A Crown Heights pizza joint is one of the best places to grab a slice in the entire borough, according to a new ranking.

Neighborhood staple Barboncino 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."

At Barboncinio, the foodies noted chef and owner Ron Brown's extensive menu of both red and white pizzas, most with classic toppings.

The Crown Heights spot was far from the only favorite slice in the northern part of the borough. More than half of the pizza joints on Thrillist's list were from Williamsburg, Bed-Stuy, Bushwick and Greenpoint.

Here's what Thrillist had to say about Barboncino:

Barboncino

"This Crown Heights staple, with its rustic, exposed brick dining room plates great Neapolitan pizzas with the requisite char, fired in the restaurant’s substantial wood-fueled hearth. At Barboncino, chef and owner Ron Brown offers a dozen red and white pizzas with mostly classic toppings, from clams to house-made meatballs."
