Giuseppina's: Is it Lucali East?

Like his brother Mark (owner of Lucali), Chris Iacono uses a gas- and wood-fired oven to produce thin crust New York-style pizzas with a Di Fara-inspired blend of three cheeses and impeccable toppings, all in a warm and romantic ambiance.

Daily Slice: Mushroom Pizza at Franny's in Brooklyn

"Mushroom pizza" makes me think of grey, slimy slices atop a Pizza Hut pie. But of course, that's not how they do it at Franny's ($18) in Brooklyn.

First Look: Pete Zaaz, a Bold, Toppings-Driven Pizzeria in Crown Heights

Pete Zaaz, a four-week-old sliver of a pizzeria in Crown Heights, stands at the confluence of a number of different currents in Brooklyn dining and pizzadom. As one of my tablemates put it, "It's like the Do or Dine of pizza." To borrow some words from SENY editor Carey Jones's review of Do or Dine, Pete Zaaz is, "intentionally oddball, intentionally free-form." So there's that, and the fact that it's a basic slice joint that's doing the new old-school thing -- all with a focus on inventive, sometimes outlandish toppings.

Pizzacentric: South Brooklyn Pizza Goes German

Sitting in Buschenschank feels a little like you've escaped from a snowstorm and have come inside to warm up with some good beer, meaty food (or pizza), and some friends. The pizza—about twelve inches in diameter—was so thin and crispy it had virtually no hole structure (except at the edge). But the ingredients on top provided a soft cushion and kept my taste buds busy trying to identify and understand the flavors involved.

Top This: Anchovy and Pecorino Sardo Pizza (à la Franny's)

The pizza hits all the high notes in terms of flavor. Anchovy and capers bring a brininess and saltiness to the pie. Chile de arbor brings the heat. Aged Pecorino Sardo brings a whirlwind of flavors including grassy, earthy, salty, and slightly sweet. The pizza is finished with lemon juice for acidity, and a generous dousing of good quality extra virgin olive oil, which simply makes everything come together into one beautifully delicious work of minimalist pizza art.

Daily Slice: Cafe Catania, Brooklyn Heights

Named after the owners' hometown—which is the second largest city in Sicily—Catania on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn Heights is neither pizzeria nor restaurant. Rather, it's a laid-back and cheerful tavola calda-style food place that&mdassh;without an ounce of pretension—prepares an impressive array of excellent Sicilian food.

Pizza Cotta Bene: A New(ish) Old School Brooklyn Sliceria

Pizza Cotta Bene, a pizzeria in Gowanus that on paper is new (they opened just over a year ago), but you wouldn't know it by looking at it. Everything from the cheap interior tables, to the soda fountain, to the glass display case showing a half dozen by-the-slice selections looks just like the pizzerias of my youth, and good news: the pizza is good. Great, even.

Daily Slice: French Bread Pizza at Woodwork, NYC

Most of my French bread pizza memories are unhappy ones involving Stouffers and a microwave, but the Woodwork Pizza ($6) at Prospect Heights sports bar Woodwork gives me a new appreciation for the style.

Brooklyn: Everything On The Menu at Best Pizza

Opened just over a year ago, Best Pizza has fast become one of our favorite pizzerias in New York, and yeah, it's mostly because they serve some of the tastiest by-the-slice stuff around. Since opening the shop, the menu has expanded ever-so-slightly to include sandwiches and a single salad. But man, oh man what good sandwiches those are. Check out everything they've got on the menu.

Cobble Hill: Sottocasa

Our favorite pizza on a recent visit, though, was the Salsiccia*—and not just because of my well-documented* predilection for sausage. Of the three pies we tried on our visit, it was the one closest to the way I like my crust—with a little bit of charring but not so much that it tasted burned.
