Villa Rustica, which was setting up shop in the defunct pizza place on Third Street next to Stone Park Cafe officially opened yesterday, per a report from GL Correspondent Max Casey, who covers that territory with great interest and probably sniffed it out just from the scent of the pizza. Max reports: “A guy I talked to said he’d tried one of their slices and it was ‘pretty good.'” Hmm. Not a ringing endorsement, but we’ll be waiting for the reviews to roll in given that any new opening in the Slope is greeted like the Second Coming.

    The slices are great! I had a few yesterday. I am so glad the place is finally open so there is local pizza near the park.. Very nice Italian family seems to own the place. Good luck to them!

    I think this may be the best pizza in Park Slope, people should really give this place a try.
