That Beer & Nosh blog looks great. Very nice banner and appealing photos. And in terms of pizza, that pie with the egg at Flour + Water looks very good. I'd love to get some oven intel. Anyone? Anyone?

@Paulie: I'm pretty sure it's a Valoriani (by way of Mugnaini).

@Adam: that's not really a really real upskirt, is it? I'll bet the crust is too thin for that.

Like Mozza, right? Very good. Thanks. You are a true pizzalogist.

Happy to link, Cary! I've added you to my daily pizza-blog-checking routine. Where are you operating from? Brooklyn? Long Island? Somewhere else?

@pizzalogist: You've been paying attention! Technically, a true "pizza upskirt" has to point toward the ceiling.

@Adam: We're in New Hyde Park, Long Island - about 2 miles from the original Umberto's (where Grandma's pizza was born) and not too far from Eddie's (first pizza on Long Island).

BTW, we invited Albert Grande to join us at Umberto's for grandma pizza when he's in town... want to join us? Pizza Site Summit!

@Paulie: Yup, like Mozza, and, seemingly 90% of the wood-fired pizzerias in CA that have opened in the past 4 or 5 years, like Picco, Pizzaiolo, Diavolo, Local, Rosso, Marzano. Aside from whatever qualities the ovens may have, I think there are 3 factors in its popularity in CA: Mugnaini is local; the Chez Panisse influence; and the fact that they are made in Italy (these places go more for Napoletana than for NY).

@Pizzaologist By local I'm gusssing you mean their marketing arm if the ovens are from Itlay. And I guess I need to finish reading Pizza: A Slice of heaven to learn about Chez Panisse.
