Serious Eats Video: The Roadfood Crew Visits Pepe's
One of the (many) nice things about working at Serious Eats as its managing editor is that Slice now has access to some great video. We've been slaving away at Serious Eats world headquarters, making some good movin' pictures for you to watch, and this, IMHO, is one of the best. In it, we've worked with Michael Stern, who, along with his wife, Jane Stern, are the mad geniuses behind the Roadfood franchise—books, magazine columns, and the website. Here, Mr. Stern visits Frank Pepe's in New Haven. Tune in, turn on, and pig out!...Mailbag: Abate Pizza
Dear Slice, If you ever make it back to New Haven, you could do a lot worse than Abate, just a little way down Wooster Street from the better known places. Always overlooked because of its famous neighbors, you won't get slow or rude service there, and the pizza is excellent. Modern is excellent also. Considered one of the big three but seemingly without all the attitude of the other two. I've had some great pizza at numerous places in the greater New Haven area. There are some mediocre places in New Haven as well, but, in general, the standard...Frank Pepe's: The Ghost of Pizza Past Returns
Ed Levine, of Slice's parent site, Serious Eats, went to New Haven, Connecticut, on Wednesday and files this report. —The Mgmt. WORDS BY ED LEVINE .::. Two years ago, when I was writing Pizza: A Slice of Heaven, I spent a couple of days at Pepe's Pizza in New Haven, Connecticut. I’ve been eating Pepe’s excellent pizza since the '60s, when my oldest brother went to school in New Haven. I’ve always loved just about everything about Pepe’s—the huge oven that dominates its interior; the smart, sassy waitresses; the incomparable crust with a crisp exterior and tender interior; the tangy...Reader Recommendation: Modern Apizza
And another one from Connecticut: Pizza to me is defined largely by having the roof of my mouth burned by cheese on a slice obtained at a walk-up window somewhere along the walk from the FCC field office on Washington and Christopher Streets in Manhattan, heading down to the old Radio Row between Canal and Cortlandt streets before the WTC was built. I did this walk regularly with friends in high school in the '60s, so the comment about pizza invoking a nostalgic experience may be true! But for today's "ah-beetz," take me to Modern in Noo Haven! The plain...'USA Today' Pizza Roundup
The previous post about Ed Levine's top pizza picks drew some emailed and IMed responses that the choices were mostly all coastal and that there were no Chicago joints on it whatsoever. Well, here's a list that ran earlier this month in USA Today. In it, Jeff Ruby, coauthor of Everybody Loves Pizza (along with Penny Pollack), gives the paper his and Ms. Pollack's top spots: Metro Pizza [four locations, Las Vegas NV; metropizza.com] "The pizza menu at this gourmet oasis in the desert reads like a map of regional flavors. With grilled shrimp on the New Orleans, barbecued chicken...'Details' Magazine Pizza Roundup
Pity poor Ed Levine. When his workday doesn't involve ordering one of each doughnut at a well-regarded New York City doughnuttery, he gets to eat pizza from some of the country's best pizzerias and write about it for Details magazine. His findings cover some familiar ground to readers of Slice and of Mr. Levine's 2005 book PIzza: A Slice of Heaven, but there are some new entries to be savored. Pizzeria Bianco [623 East Adams Street, Phoenix AZ 85004; map] "The sauce tastes like a distillation of the ripest tomatoes."Di Fara[1424 Avenue J, Brooklyn NY 11230; map] "... a Di...Interesting Opportunity for Connecticut Pizza Deliverers

Photograph from BigGreenPizzaTruck.com This pizza wagon one-ups any pizza truck on the streets of Manhattan. And then some: Several years ago Douglas Coffin, a caterer in New Haven, built a portable bread oven that he planned to use at big events. When that did not work out (not cost-effective) he decided to put a wood-fired oven aboard a truck, drive to company picnics and birthday parties and make thin-crust pizzas for his clients. The Big Green Pizza Truck First the Pizza's Delivered. Then It's Cooked [New York Times]...Dear Slice: Ever Hear of Colony Pizza?
I'm a pizza fan, Brooklynite, and avid reader of Slice. I was wondering if you'd ever heard of the Colony in Stamford, Connecticut? My family has a long history with the Colony's pizza, and we're big fans. It's really thin — almost like a cracker — and very delicious. Anyway, we're making our annual pre-Easter trek to the Colony in a couple of days, and I'm thinking about putting a review of sorts on my blog. IF, that is, I decide to spread the word . . . It's already crowded enough! —Molly The word is out! Now you'll have...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network. To advertise on this site or across a network of food-related weblogs, click here.
