Has anyone tried the pho at Hanco's on 7th Ave?
I wouldn't write them off just yet. I haven't tried the pho, but I love the banh mi. It might or might not be worth your time, but maybe you do need to try it before you decide. : )
Tired of my pizza delivery place...looking for new options--Brooklyn-Slope
Peppino's on 5th ave is fantastic: here's a shameless cut-n-paste of my review on Yelp:
I'm torn about writing this review: on the one hand, I don't want word to get out that Peppino's is great, and make it all crowded. On the other hand, I think business is currently a little slow, and and I don't want the best pizza in Park Slope to go under.
The pizza and sandwiches are both great. Dough is homemade, chewy, with a nice crispiness to the crust (obviously, it suffers a little in delivery, as all high-end pizza does. We ask for ours well-done when delivering). Most sandwiches come on bread made from the same dough as the pizza. Sauce is flavorful, chunky, well-spiced, and not at all sweet, which I hate. Cheese is very good, with actual flavor, as opposed to the rubbery fatwads lots of pizza places use. Toppings are high-quality, and they don't skimp.
Is this the best pizza in New York? No. Is it the best pizza in Park Slope? Definitely. I hope you agree: just don't be sitting in my seat when I get there. : )
