We were very happy to get such high accolades from the 5 – Boro PIzza Tour :
“L’asso gained some new fans this year as many were remarking that the pies were only getting better and better as we went along.”
The Big D Pizza or as some call it the Super D has our homemade L’asso Sauce, imported Italian Buffalo Mozzarella, Fresh Mozzarella and shaved Parmesan. Perfect choice for you last meal on earth or to impress your beautiful girlfriends wealthy socialite father.
Top Choice grilled Angus with provolone, sauteed onions and truffle paste on our homemade unbleached, unbromated dough – hot pressed to impress. It’s the summer, there’s a lot of legs out there. Get some Angus in your belly.
What a lunch: The Mela PIzza topped with apples, asparagus, gorgonzola and truffle oil; A Verde Salad (mixed greens, tomato, large pitted green olives, olive oil and vinegar) with pine nuts, and a crisp floral Kulmbacher Pilsner from the tap. It’s sunny out, the windows are open and things are feeling really good.
Come and enjoy a fine brew from our constantly rotating taps. We are always getting new and excited beers here at L’asso. This weeks new arrival is Sixpoint Brewery’s Gorilla Warfare Coffee Porter. Our resident brew guide Tom “The Wild Cicerone” has this to say: “Gorilla Warfare Porter is a smooth porter with hints of chocolate and combined with Park Slopes very own Gorilla Coffee. (Ethiopian Yergacheffe blend, a Fair Trade and Organic Certified coffee) This collaboration makes for a deliciously smooth unique coffee-filled porter. Caution this beer does tend to sneak up on you, at a nicely hidden 8%. Pairs well with any red and spiced meats.”
So come give it a try and have a delicious pint paired with an amazing pie.

Not content with merely being named the best pizza in Lower Manhattan by the 5 Boro Pizza Tour, L’asso has installed a head chef, Daniel Riviera, in its basement kitchen with the aim of introducing a menu that goes beyond pies and pasta. Riviera — who is Puerto Rican — has been bumping around kitchens in New York and New Jersey since graduating from the New York Art Institute with a degree in culinary arts. A month into his tenure, he’s added one dish to the dinner menu: a skirt steak marinated in primitivo, then grilled and topped with a chimichurri sauce. For $15, it’s served with an arugula salad of shaved Parmesan and aged balsamic. By December, there’ll be five more entrées, including a fish dish and a linguine with littleneck clams, as well as an expanded brunch menu. L’asso isn’t really hurting for customers, but this should help it hold its own against a trio of ambitious newcomers in its immediate vicinity — the Mott, Civetta, and Travertine.
