Openings: Zimari Pizza, Another Dollar-Slice Joint
Another opening for you. Grub Street reports that Zimari Pizza is open (as of last week) and serving $1 slices, $8 pies. Cheese only for now. Zimari Pizza: 31st Street b/n Park and Lexington avenues...Jimmy Fallon Twitters About Getting Kicked Out of NYC Pizzeria
"@jimmyfallon Oh, I'm afraid you've started the revolution, and they're hard to stop" Late Night It looks like Jimmy Fallon went to pizzeria Posto with his family last night and was asked to leave. The drama unfolded on Twitter. I've tried to piece together the saga by reading Fallon's tweets and the conversation between him and his Twitter followers. A few notes before you start reading: For those not versed in the twitspeak, the "@username" convention is how tweeters designate that they're talking to a specific Twitter user For experience tweeters, note that this reconstructed conversation runs chronologically (or as...Vezzo, The DJ Bubbles Drive-By
Vezzo Address: 178 Lexington Avenue, New York NY Phone: 212-839-8300 The draw: Strong word-of-mouth recommendations to the DJ, "Thin Crust Pizza," two sister pizzerias (Gruppo and Posto) that are also doing very well, a brick-oven, cash only (often indicative of high quality, e.g., Patsy's of East Harlem, Una Pizza Napoletana), and an exceptional Zagat rating for Gruppo (26 for quality—Vezzo makes the same pie, trust me). The facts: Wow, it's Sunday night and it's been a busy weekend. Kinda want to just stay on the couch, maybe order in. A dinner jaunt doesn't sound good right now, not even for...Pizza Quote of the Day
Officemate: "I believe this day calls for a Totonno's pizza for lunch." Me: "I believe it calls for two."...Any Good 24-Hour Pizza Joints in NYC?
Reader comment and response is still pouring in thanks to yesterday's New York Times story. So many great comments and recommendations. And questions. Reaching into the proverbial mailbag, we have ... Dear Slice, Do you know of any good late night or 24 hour pizza places in NYC? —Bilal Dear Bilal, Slice is a homebody, more prone to lying prone on the couch at night, remote in hand, watching Battlestar Galactica. But our favorite late-night (if not 24-hour) place is Vinny Vincenz. Great squares here. Sunday through Thursday till 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday till 4:30 a.m. Late enough for...Ray's: The Question Remains Unanswered
In yesterday's New York Times F.Y.I. column, the question was raised: Where was the first Ray's Pizza, and what's the story behind it? A. Why don’t you ask something simple, like what happened to Judge Crater? Some New York culinary questions (just who invented the black-and-white cookie is another) are destined to remain shrouded in mystery. The evolution of Ray’s Pizza resists an easy explanation.... The Ray’s question is also bristling with lawyers. Rosolino Mangano, of Famous Original Ray’s Pizza on Columbus Avenue near 83rd Street, went to court in the early 1990’s, registered that name and branched out with...Monica Visits Pinch
I don't even need to make an attempt at witty commentary on this one. The Post does it for me. From the Sightings item in today's Page Six: "Monica Lewinsky ordering a slice with 4 inches of spicy sausage on top at Pinch Pizza by the Inch on Park Avenue South." Hmm. Interesting that not more than a few days after we posted about Monica and pizza and their fateful role in world history, Ms. Lewinsky orders some pie. Perhaps she's been reading Slice. Slice on Pinch. Other boldface names who enjoy pizza. PINCH: PIZZA BY THE INCH Location: 416...Frank's Pizza
FRANKLY, MY DEAR, IT'S NOT VERY GOODLet's call this the Slice home game—rather, the home-wrecking game. Surely the ramifications are nothing quite that serious, but the topic that sparked the spat certainly is.A wistful wife swears by her standby pizza place. Her dubious husband wants no part of it. Who you gonna call? That was how Our Leader and I stumbled upon Frank's Pizza, a Gramercy Park mainstay that I left wishing would not stay.Frank's is the kind of place I really did want to like. Its postage-stamp-size environs are inviting to sidewalk strollers. The vinyl-covered diner stools are as...Pinch (NY Post)
Pinch: Pizza by the Inch can add another review to its clip file. This time its the Post.The tabloid gives Pinch a good review overall, with pluses for the deliciously fresh toppings and bright sauce. A minus for "the beautifully burnished—though unfortunately dry—chicken done 'under a brick.'" But then the recovery: "The manager raced out to find out why it was barely touched," and then didn't charge when he found out it was dry.The review ends: "The food and ambience are easy to like here, but it's the doting staff that really makes you want to pinch yourself.
