Video: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Love Singing About Pizza

Ever thought about how well pizza rhymes with Visa, Mona Lisa, and Tower of Pisa? It's just asking to be in a jingle sung by tween girls in overalls. This 1990s throwback video starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and a few other girls, who aren't Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, starts out pretty harmless—OMG, pizza!—until they start throwing fried chicken, ice cream, a whole fish, chocolate sauce, egg foo young, and pretty much every food they can list in three minutes on the pie. They successfully create the most narsty-sounding pizza in the history of girly sleepover song sequences, ever.

Lou Reed Loves Totonno's

Reaching in to the Slice mailbag, we've got ... Hey, Adam!I was a royal escort at Saturday's Mermaid Parade on Coney Island, where the king and queen were Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson (omg!).

And if you look here, in the...

'Slice Harvester' Gets to Hang with Phoebe Cates

"What's that over there? Pizza?" [Still: Universal Pictures] Is there an American heterosexual male alive who went through adolescence in the '80s who does not have the pool scene from Fast Times burned into his brain? I didn't think so. Therefore I am officially jealous of Colin "Slice Harvester," who somehow met up with Phoebe Cates to go slice harvesting. Colin is more gentleman than I, as his post about the encounter masterfully walks the line between adoring Phoebe fanboy and professional pizzeria guide. Apparently, Ms. Cates's daughter, Greta, saw Slice Harvester, wanted to go along on one of...
