The car dominated thoroughfare of McGuiness Boulevard in Brooklyn has long lacked the foot traffic to make it a pizza hotbed. But with the addition of Tuttobene's, it looks like times might be changing. More

Pizza nomenclature can be confusing. Particularly when it comes to less commonly seen pizza styles. At Europa Restaurant in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, schiacciata refers to a pizza, first baked plain, then sliced to make top and bottom halves, and then filled and baked again. More

I enjoyed the hell out of The Mootz ($13) from Paulie Gee's, the best white pie I've had the pleasure of eating in a long time. It plays a simple tune, but damn it's a good one: fior di latte for creaminess and Pecorino for punch, garlic for personality, and basil for verve. More

My Little Pizzeria takes pizza-by-the-slice to the next level by offering self-service basil leaves. I know of no other place that offers it in this fashion. But even without the added culinary perk, MLP produces a solid neighborhood slice. More

At the end of every year I drop a list of eight pizzas from the previous 12 months that "haunt my dreams." Spoiler: Unless I eat nine better pizzas this year, the Saint Louie at Clinton Hill's Speedy Romeo will be among my great eight of 2012. More

I had low expectations in visiting Grimaldi's new location at 1 Front Street, just up the street from the original spot at 19 Old Fulton. The place has been in the news as of late more for tax and landlord drama than for its product. And, I gotta say, it's often served me some underdone, soggy pies.

The San Francisco dream team that is relocating East to realize the project consists of Elizabeth Falkner, who recently closed Citizen Cake and Orson, Bourbon & Branch bartender Darren Crawford, and Tony's Pizza Napoletana partner and operations director, Nancy Puglisi.

As part of an ongoing effort to try more pizza in Brooklyn's southern reaches, today I checked out Pizza Den. I was immediately stricken by the old-fashioned countertop and the eight vinyl-topped stools that face it. Good looking place. More

Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend a square-pizza mini-crawl in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, where a group of diehard pizza geeks, organized by John Wozniak (a longtime community member here), assembled first at Lo Duca Pizza and then moved on to San Remo Pizzeria. Follow along with the action in the slideshow here. More

Like his brother Mark (owner of Lucali), Chris Iacono uses a gas- and wood-fired oven to produce thin crust New York-style pizzas with a Di Fara-inspired blend of three cheeses and impeccable toppings, all in a warm and romantic ambiance. More
