Here's Park Slope: A New Ice Cream Shop and South Brooklyn Pizza!

image via Here's Park SlopeOn Monday our shores were graced by some more quality pizza, with the soft open of South Brooklyn Pizza on First Street Just west of Seventh Avenue. At $4 a slice I was a little skeptical, but was assured by the owner, Reuben, that its high-quality ingredients make it worth every penny.

When Tuesday rolled around I actually got to try a slice and take some photos, and I'll be damned if this isn't some tasty pizza. The ingredients are top-notch, and it's got a nice crunch. I have a feeling it'll catch on: pizza this good, while pricey, is sure to draw a loyal following. Housing Works, coming soon to Fifth and Garfield, also took the signage down from the store's previous occupant, Brooklyn Kitchens and Baths.

On Wednesday Area Kids, the kid-centric toy and tchotchke store on Seventh between Union and President, completed their move to two storefronts down, in the much larger space last occupied by Super Savers. Also, it looks like an eyeglass store will be moving into the Video Forum space, which is VERY exciting. You've also gotta take a look at these crazy signs on the windows of the under-construction Spice, on Seventh between Berkeley and Lincoln.

Not much to report on Thursday, but the Unleashed by Petco coming to the under-construction building on Seventh between Union and Berkeley got some brick on its facade.

And Friday brought some good news: the space on the corner of Fifth and St. Marks, last home to a bakery for dogs (only in Park Slope!), will soon be getting an ice cream shop. More details are forthcoming, but it's a charming little place and it'll be open soon.
