Dear Slice: 'Barring Di Fara, Where Should I Go for Pizza on My NYC Visit?'
Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, another question regarding an upcoming NYC pizza itinerary. I love these questions! --The Mgmt. Adam and the Slice Crew,I will be making my first visit to New York City in a few weeks, and I don't think it would be a proper visit if I left without trying some New York pizza. With that said, I have looked over your reviews and suggestions in the past, and with my limited time and rather packed schedule I just don't think I will be able to make Di Fara work with its seemingly rather high...Dear Slice: 'Heading to NYC, and Pepe's in New Haven'
Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got a message from longtime reader TJ, who wrote to Slice in early September asking, "If I could only eat at one NYC pizzeria besides Di Fara, what should it be?" I opened that one up to discussion here, and it looks like TJ's taken all our advice into consideration and has his pick—Patsy's East Harlem. But he mentioned New Haven pizza, and I've got some thoughts on that. Feel free to chime in once again, folks. --The Mgmt. Our pizza order at Sally's (from left): tomato slice and mozzarella pie, plain...Dear Slice: 'You Missed the Best in Bay Area Pizza'
I am a transplanted New Yorker in California, and there is a place in the Bay Area, Napoli Pizza in Vallejo, that makes out-of-this-world pizza. I dare say it's even better than what is found in NYC these days. I am surprised this establishment is not mentioned on your blog while several others in the Bay Area are. This is easily among the best places I have ever eaten, and they do not sell slices at all.Unlike some NYC establishments like Di Fara, which are nothing more than overrated tourist traps, this establishment is the real deal. The only other...Atlanta's Enrico Liberata Moves from Fritti to Antico Pizza Napoletana
Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got this email with some Hotlanta pizza intel. Interestingly, its subject line was "New Atlanta pizza freakout." --The Mgmt. [Photograph: The Blissful Glutton] Adam,I went to Fritti in Atlanta last night, the mainstay which was the only VPN pizza place in town, and also has a new pizzaiolo since Enrico Liberata left. The pizza at Fritti was excellent—tangy, wonderful sauce, not soggy in the center (had been a problem), wonderful light, puffy, flavorful, and well charred crust.No sooner had I come home from dinner, I look on the internets and see that...Nomad Pizza Co.: Notes from the Field
Friend of Slice and Serious Eats New York contributor Tam Ngo recently emailed some field notes from a recent visit to Nomad Pizza Co., a newish Neapolitan pizza operation in Hopewell, New Jersey, that's been getting some love from the pizzerati as of late. Here are her quick impressions of the place. —The Mgmt. [Photographs: Tam Ngo] I haven't had heavyhitter Neapolitan-style Motorino yet, so I can't compare it. But Nomad's crust is crisper, more pliant, and has a more developed flavor than that of Keste's. (Even though I dug the texture, Keste's crust was surprisingly monoflavored to me.)...Dear Slice: Vertuccio's Pizza on the Park
Clicking in to the Slice inbox, some intel from FoS Rachel W. about Vertuccio's, that new brick-oven place on North 12th Street (facing McCarren Park) in Williamsburg. —The Mgmt. The most striking feature of the place is its oven. It's a huge gargantuan machine in the center of the room. The pizza itself was pretty good. Sauce and cheese were great, but we thought the flavor in the crust left something to be desired.Mine was topped with sopressata, which was damn tasty—better than Motorino's. However, Motorino, as a whole, is still much better.The owner(?) also comped us a slice of...If I Could Only Eat at One NYC Pizzeria (Other Than Di Fara), What Would It Be?
Hi, Adam,I will finally get to come to NYC in the week just prior to Thanksgiving this year. Really looking forward to it, as it may be the only time I ever get to visit your city.That said, I have earmarked Di Fara for a visit, and I am hoping to visit one other pizzeria during my stay.There are so many good ones.So ... can I get a single recommendation plus one backup recommendation from you?One stop (with Di Fara already out of the running) for pizza anywhere in NYC.Bonus if it is a coal-fired oven—not available in my area...Dear Slice: National [whatever] Day
Dear Slice,National Bacon Day and National Cheese Pizza Day are both September 5. Odd confluence. Would putting bacon on cheese pizza negate the "cheese pizza" aspect?Just sharing. :)—Helen...Dear Slice: 'I Made It to Delancey Last Night'
OK, so I actually got this email on Thursday, so I guess our friend here made it to Delancey last Wednesday, but who's counting? A few days doesn't change the sentiment. For those of you who don't know, Delancey is the Seattle pizzeria newly opened by Brandon Pettit, husband of überpopular food blogger Molly Wizenberg (Orangette). Needless to say, its arrival, beautifully documented on Wizenberg's site, has been highly anticipated by food bloggers and food-blog readers. Here's some intel for you. —The Mgmt. [Photograph: Orangette] Adam,I got to Delancey last night to try out Brandon and Molly's new restaurant. The...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network.
