Pizza Hut Express, Central Station, Amsterdam
Pizza Hut Express, Central Station, Amsterdam From Flickr member Slice. Just arrived at the hotel after a long flight. Didn't sleep, haven't slept since waking up at 10 a.m. EST. I'm going to attack this jet lag thing by staying up until proper bedtime. Watched Densha Otoko, Crash, and Red Eye on the flight over. Didn't want to sleep because I snore really bad and didn't want to be the guy sawing logs in economy class. Let someone else take up the gauntlet on that one. Customs was a snap, as was taking the train from Schiphol Airport to...A Slice of Heaven: Naples, Pizza at Its Source
Slice is happy to bring you another excerpt from Ed Levine's book Pizza: A Slice of Heaven. This time, Ed's trip to Naples. Be sure to click past the jump for a list of some of Napoli's—and Rome's—best pizzerias. The pizza police, dedicated to the proposition that authenticity is everything, tell us that you cannot judge or taste pizza properly without having eaten it in Naples. Pizza wasn't invented in Naples (there have been flatbreads with toppings for thousands of years), but it is the place where pizza became popular, and where this perfect, simple food burrowed itself deep into...Photo Gallery: Robert Sietsema Visits Naples
PHOTOGRAPHS BY ROBERT SIETSEMA .::. A couple days ago, Robert Sietsema offered to let Slice post some of his photos from his recent trip to Naples. Before you take a gander, though, I'd recommend that you go read his account on the Village Voice site. It'll help put the photos in context. OK. have you read Mr. Sietsema's column yet? Good. Now here are the pix. Be sure to click on them for larger versions, and click through the jump. There's more! Naples street scene. Photograph by Robert Sietsema Da Michele exterior.

Robert Sietsema visits Naples, making stops at the legendary Da Michele as well as nearby pizzeria Trianon. Regarding Da Michele: The menu is limited to a pair of amazing pies. Most modern is the margherita (4 euros)óinvented in 1885 on the occasion of a visit from Queen Margherita of Savoia, probably the first pizza to feature cheese, which joins sieved canned tomatoes, a generous pouring of olive oil from an antique pitcher, a basil leaf or two, and sea salt on the surface of the pie. The older of the pies, called marinara (3.5 euros), has its origins in Mediterranean...Slice Going to Amsterdam
Late next month, I'll be going to Amsterdam. Full disclosure: The trip is part of a junket for bloggers put together by Holland.com, the web presence of the Netherlands Board of Tourism and Conventions. Holland.com is paying for the flight as well as five nights in a hotel near the city center, and an Amsterdam public-transport pass. In exchange, I've agreed to sit for an interview with the board of tourism that may appear online or in print, place the "Bloggers in Amsterdam" logo in my navigation bar for one year, and provide Holland.com with one month of premium advertising...Dear Slice: NY-Style in Paris?
Dear Slice, I was wondering if you know where I could find a decent slice in Paris. I've been dying for some New York–style pizza. Best regards, Viktor A: Hmm. Like so many of the questions we get here at Slice, we simply don't know the answer. I've never been to France, much less Paris, and I don't think Seltzerboy has, either. I'm pretty sure E-Rock's visited, but he was probably too far gone on wine to bother with les pizzas. So let's open it up to the international community of pizza lovers: Does anyone know if there's a New...A Slice of Saigon
During our "quiet time," last month, we spotted a post from our man in Saigon, Graham Holliday, freelance journalist and proprietor of the street-food-obsessed blog noodlepie. Mr. Holliday reported on the impending opening of a pizzeria called Pizza 'n' Chick, no doubt the Vietnamese equivalent of New York City's own various Kennedy Pizza Chicken joints. Says Holliday: The name intrigues me - Pizza "n" Chick. I wonder if the 'Sale off 15%' offer applies to the chicks or the pizza or both?? Were the chicks trained by the Italian chef too? Do they have a 'Buy one get one free'...Vive la France: Pizzaria Étienne
From the New York Times Going To column—this time Marseille: Nearby is Pizzaria Étienne, (5) 43, rue Lorette (no phone), which opened in 1943 in its now-dilapidated stucco house. Locals swear it's the best pizza in the world. It was packed and raucous even at 11 p.m. on a weeknight, the waiters all seemed to have tattoos, and there were old photos of famous footballers covering the walls. It was worth waiting for a table in an awkward line by the bathroom. The pizza ($9), which comes with either cheese or anchovies, ranked high on my best-ever list. (Dinner...Psoy Saucy
In our previous entry, we talked about a modern-day urban explorer, the Lonesome Hero, who in turn spoke a little about Russia and pizza by way of explaining his "Pizza World Tour." And so, speaking of pizza in Russia and Russians and pizza, and pizza world tours, we bring you a crazy little song by Psoy Korolenko, a "singing professor, dancing scholar, and academical bodysinger" from Russia. Mr. Korolenko sings a song about pizza, which our pal Cyrus alerted us to. (He found it here.) "Have you listened to it yet?" Cyrus asked me repeatedly. "Not yet."
