Almost exactly two years ago, Gothamist and Slice had a pizza party at Fornino in Williamsburg. It's been a long time, but we're happy to announce that we're having another pizza party at Fornino on April 7.
When: Monday, April 7, 2008; 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. (or longer)
Where: 187 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn (Williamsburg; Bedford stop on L; map)
What: All-you-can-eat pizza, unlimited drinks (beer, wine, soda)
How Much: $32 (click button below to pay)
Like the first Gothamist-Slice pizza party at Fornino, there will be a mozzarella-making demonstration by Fornino chef-owner Michael Ayoub following the pizza gorging.

Nah, I'm totally going to Acqua Santa that night instead. I read on Slice that their pies are better. And the owner drives a Ferrari, so it HAS to be fo real.

LOL. You read that on Gowanus Lounge, Brian! Seriously: You better get yourself to this party. It was great the first year we had it. I couldn't have dreamed of a better pizza party.

I'm debating whether I should go. $32 is a high price for a pizza dinner for one person. The pizzas look tempting.

@KMC212:
Three words: TAR-TU-FO. Ok, that's really just one word.

@KMC212: I don't necessarily want to bill the event as all-you-can eat/drink, but when we had this party in 2006, that's essentially what it was. The pizzas came out of the oven fast and furious, and I think it's safe to say that *nobody* left hungry. The beer and wine flowed pretty freely, too. I don't think anyone who attended 2006's event felt like they got ripped off on the deal. You might also consider that in 2006, Fornino made 16 of the 30 pizzas on its menu (including the Tartufo, the truffle pizza) — a variety of flavors you'd be unlikely to taste in one evening. If you're serious about pizza, it's really a fair price (and that's before taking into account the rising cost of flour and cheese).

I remember having a pizza party one year for my birthday - my 11th, if I remember correctly. It was pretty f'ing awesome. Perhaps it is best if I attend!
Let's just hope none of my archenemies show up - I'd hate to have to give Michael Y. Park a lesson in the martial arts following the mozzarella making demo!

I am so there.

Can't wait to see you there, Bubbles -- and you, too, "Hot Kate."

@DJ_Bubbles: Maybe i'll make an appearance. > :)
