Jeremy Allen White Says This 52-Year-Old Brooklyn Pizzeria Has The Best Slice In The Country — A ‘Wild Thing To Say’

New Yorkers take their **pizza** quite seriously, and Jeremy Allen White is no exception. The former Carroll Gardens resident might pay homage to the Garden State in his latest role as Bruce Springsteen in *Deliver Me From Nowhere *, but his heart and stomach are always in a New York State of mind. In a recent interview, the star opened up about the oftentimes controversial topic and spilled the tea about his go-to pizza. If you could go for a Sicilian slice and calzone in the near future, bookmark the actor’s pick. Jeremy Allen White’s favorite pizza slice is from Brooklyn (no surprise there) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Food Network just named **one Brooklyn slice** as the best pizza in the state, while Food Republic hand-selected a **hole-in-the-wall pick in the Bronx** as the best of the best. White’s pizza of choice is right in **Park Slope**, according to his sit-down with *Interview Magazine*. “My favorite slice is from Luigi’s on Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn,” he said in the interview. “It’s really the best pizza in New York. I know that’s a wild thing to say, but it’s my favorite place.” He also gave a shout-out to Gio, the owner of the family business during his chat. Needless to say, Gio was delighted with the praise. “You know, you’re a real class act,” Gio said in a follow-up video. “From being a kid to the man you’ve become today. You’re a great father, and a great man, and I wish you all the luck in the future.” (In case you were wondering, Gio gave his seal of approval to *Deliver Me From Nowhere*.) For context, Luigi touched down in Brooklyn from Italy in 1973 with one goal — to make the best pizza in the city with the freshest ingredients. Fifty-two years later, the unassuming Brooklyn outpost continues to wow its customers, particularly with its mozzarella slice , and Gio is at the helm alongside his sisters, Marisa and Lisa. A few weeks prior to Jeremy Allen White dropping the biggest pizza bomb we’ve heard, he also sat down with Jimmy Kimmel to talk about his go-to spot when he’s home in New York: Frankie’s 457 on Court Street . The 20-year-old spot is famous for its elevated taste on Italian classics — the cavatelli with hot sausage and brown sage butter is one for the books — and its olive oil, which you can find on shelves across the country. Lastly, to round out his **Italian** favorites in Brooklyn, White also gave a shout-out to DeFonte’s Sandwich Shop in **Red Hook**, which has been operating since 1922. One thing is for certain: our beloved Bruce/Carmy can take us out to dinner any time he’d like. Source: https://secretnyc.co/jeremy-allen-white-luigis-best-pizza/
