Dear Slice: Check Out My Research Paper on NE Pennsylvania Pizza!

Posted by Adam Kuban, December 1, 2008 at 11:00 AM

Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got some scholarly research to delve into. (Emphasis mine.) ...

I'm in the American Studies graduate program at Penn State-Harrisburg. A link on your blog about Northeastern Pennsylvania being the Pizza Capital of the U.S. led me to a short research paper last spring, so I thought I'd share it. Most of this is nothing new to you experts, but you may find some of the info I found in mid-century city directories interesting.

Dear Tim,

This is AWESOME.

Thank you! I love the research on the directories. That was a really smart way to look at historical pizza data and one that I would have never thought of doing. It would be cool to do that with NYC pizzerias, but I bet it would get hairy!

Hey, would you mind if I offered up this paper as a PDF for Slice readers to download and read? I totally understand if you wouldn't be into that, but I think it would be fun.

Thanks again for the reading!

Hasta la pizza,
Adam
