October 13, 2009: Slice's Six-Year Anniversary

Slice Dude, birthdayHola, everybody. It's me, Slice Dude. Well, guess what? This blog is six years old today! Yup, that's right. On this day in 2003, at 12:36 p.m., Slice made its crusty, saucy, cheesy debut.

As far as mascottin' round these here parts, I wasn't even a ball of dough then! But Adam's been at this the whole time. And I think all this pizza-blogging has made him a little crazy. I mean, look, he made me wear this stupid hat, then he spanked me six times (what's that all about!?), and then he ordered a pizza and did it all up like a birthday cake. Didn't matter if the hot cheese melted the candles and they kept falling down. And then the folks here in the Serious Eats–Slice office got a little weird, too, and sang "Happy Birthday." Humans. Weird.

Anyway, Adam's off babbling in a corner, so I'll speak for him when I say that we couldn't have done this all without you. With you in mind every day, we try to find great pizza news, highlight delicious pizzerias for you to visit, and just shoot the breeze about the awesomeness of pizza. Thank you! You are our inspiration.

And of course, a big shout out to Slice contributors present and past, whose voices keep this place from completely devolving into a loony bin. Thank you, thank you!

Happy, happy birthday Slice Dude, you rule!

Now tell Adam to stop inserting his name as the poster when you contribute to the blog, dude.

Looking forward to year number seven. All the best --Kelly

Thanks, Kelly! Slice Dude didn't know how to change reassign the post's author. I just helped him.

Booya! Congrats! Love this feed of continual pizza news. It's the only pizza site I subscribe to. Cheers!

Happy birthday, Slice.

Yay! Happy birthday Slice!

Happy Birthday Slice Dude!! And congrats on a successful 6. Many many more!

hey congrats Adam!! May there be many more pies in the future.

Congratulations Slicedude. As much I as I enjoy many of the other pizza blogs out there, you guys are king of the hill. Trailblazers Deluxe. And Slicedude, when you see the party planners, tell them that a birthday cake that looked like a pizza might have been the better way to go.

Salute,

Paulie Gee

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SLICE!

Six! That would be your "Small Pie" anniversary...two more years for the large. Happy Birthday to the second best thing to real pizza.

Happy Birthday to Slice! Even though you're our second-favorite pizza site, you rule. Looking forward to dancing at your PizzaBarMitzvah in seven more years!

Slice Dude! You didn't appreciate our off-key birthday choir? Psh, good thing I didn't see you sneak in. Otherwise I would have EATEN YOUR FACE.

P.S. Birthday wishes!!

SLICE....! I HOPE YOU GET BIRTHDAY HEAD....!!!
