Closings: The Pizza Shop on Avenue A

EV Grieve has the lowdown: We closed the Pizza Shop because the rent was too high. We struggled every month to make it... someone gave me an offer on the space and i decided it was best to take it.... Former owner Kevin Cole tells EV Grieve he's looking for a new location and urges fans of the place to get in touch via email for notification if and when he reopens. The Pizza Shop is the place that did fun, limited-edition boxes of punk rock icons like The Clash and The Ramones....

From Serious Eats Talk: 'Is Motorino Really That Good?'

A Margherita pizza from the East Village Motorino. [Photograph: Philip Given] On Slice parent site Serious Eats, sushiburger says: ... Then we went to Motorino on 12th Street. After hearing all the rave on SE/Slice (for the one in Brooklyn) I decided to try it. We ordered the Margherita. Since we had already eaten a pork bun and half a sandwich, we ordered just one pie (plus, it was like 5 p.m. so no one was there), but the guy working there gave us a weird look and said in the back, "They just want one... no, that's it......

Are Artichoke Basille's Sicilian Slices Shrinking?

[Photograph: Kathy YL Chan] Wish I would have caught this earlier, but here you go. From September 15, Kathy YL Chan notices that the Sicilian slices seem to be shrinking at Artichoke Basille's: About a month ago, I started to notice that the slices (I can only vouch for the Sicilian) were smaller with each visit. I guess it's only something you notice if you order the exact same thing at the exact same place multiple times a week. Price remains the same of course. It's scary how quickly change has settled in—hopefully the shrinkage will stop in due...

The Manhattan Motorino: Is It as Good as the Brooklyn Location?

A pizza from the East Village Motorino. [Photograph: Philip Given] Motorino Manhattan opened last week Monday. I went on opening day to see how's tricks. Things seemed pretty under control there, and the pizza seemed up to snuff vis-Ă -vis the original Brooklyn location (that is to say excellent), so there didn't seem to be much to blog about. Plus--and this is probably the real reason--I didn't get any great photos. Shit light at 8:30 p.m., you know? But when FoS Philip Given emailed me these pix, I had to share them with you. And, hell, why not share my...

Friends and Family Night at Motorino Manhattan

[Photograph: Paulie Gee] A couple of serious eaters were lucky enough to be invited to dinner at Motorino Manhattan on Saturday, and anybody worried that Mathieu Palombino was not going to be a worthy successor to Anthony Mangieri can rest easy. The pizza was pretty damn good, light and crisp and lightly charred on the outside and tender and cooked though on the inside, even though Palombino said he is still getting acclimated to Mangieri's custom built-in-Italy oven. More than anything else, Palombino's comments told me that he has the necessary obsessive perfectionist gene that Mr. Mangieri has. Serious...

Nate Appleman of A16 Fame Opening Pizzeria with Keith McNally in Manhattan

Nate Appleman. He did A16 in San Francisco. When it opened, it was one of the few pizzerias in the U.S. to get the Verace Pizza Napoletana certification. Rumors have been going around the last couple of months about him moving to New York. Would he open a pizzeria? Looks like Grub Street New York confirms it. He's partnering with Keith McNally (Balthazar, Minetta Tavern, etc.) on Pulino's Bar and Pizzeria on the Bowery. So we do indeed swap one tattooed Neapolitan-leaning pizzaiolo for another. Look for the place to open in December....
