Profile

This bustling South Slope sports bar has three flat-screens and a Sicilian pizzaiolo manning a beehive brick oven. Despite a seemingly schizophrenic concept, Toby’s twelve-inch pies are much more satisfying than your typical pub grub, and the olive-oil-anointed Bufalina D.O.C., in particular, demonstrates an ideal sauce-to-buffalo-mozzarella balance. Toby’s pies are wet toward the middle, thin and crisp around the edges, and nicely kissed with wood-smoke flavor. They’ve already become a neighborhood draw—as has Bam’s beef jerky, made by Bam the bartender and sold in $5 Ziploc baggies. “Even the cops are coming in for it,” Bam told us himself. — Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite

Ideal Meal

Bufalina D.O.C. or Napoletana pizza.

We go here way too much, staff super nice, pizza can verge on fantastic, and a big plus: salads are worth going for alone, really carefully thought out and prepared. Deserves more acclaim.

Finally - Pizza in the Slope

I love this place. Excellent pizza and friendly casual atmosphere, on a quiet street that actually has parking (a miracle for this neighborhood). The first reviewer was obviously wearing his cranky pants.
