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

Posted by Adam Kuban, December 1, 2008

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

Dear Slice, Letters From Our ReadersI'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
