When you go to Brooklyn, go to a place called Grimmaldi's Pizza - it is a 5 minute walk from the Bridge, and it is literally the best pizza in NYC - go around 11am, the lineup gets LONG.

A native New Yorker (member of Yeah Yeah Yeahs) blogs about another Brooklyn pizza joint:

Last week my sister and I picked a day and decided to spend the afternoon together. Though we both live in the same city and see each other regularly for family stuff, it's rare that we get in some quality time. Our chosen activity for the day was an eating adventure in south Brooklyn to sample some very New York and very delicious 'good eats.' The main destination was Di Fara's, reputably the best pizza parlor in NYC, making it potentially the best pizzeria in the country, or even the world. Acclaim for Di Fara's is widespread, being lauded everywhere from foodie websites (Chowhound in particular) to the New York Times. From those that have been lucky enough to try a slice there are stories equating the experience to that of being touched by a saint: sublime, divine, and blissful are frequent adjectives. There are holy cities such as Kyoto, Jerusalem, Istanbul, and Rome, to name just a few; it seems like Di Fara's in Midwood Brooklyn should be added to the list.

The pizza certainly lives up to expectations. It is truly beyond any other pizza I have ever had. And not that it's gourmet pizza or anything like that. It's still classic Neapolitan thin-crust NY style pizza as you know and want it. It's just that the man that makes it is gifted at what he does. Domenico De Marco is the proprietor and sole pizza maker at Di Fara. He's had the shop since about '64 and allows only himself the responsibility of turning out the pies. That's pretty remarkable when you think about it: six days a week, ten hours a day for over 40 years and he's the only one making the pizza. He knows what he was put on Earth to do and it's his job to fulfill that mission and bring the message to the people.
