My blathering about "Pizza Madness 2009" continues ... —The Mgmt. [Photographs: Adam Kuban] Until I touched down at LAX on Thursday, October 29, most of my knowledge of Los Angeles came from CHiPs, The Rockford Files, the Terminator franchise, and The Closer. I had a feeling I'd be in for a shock. It came pretty early. On the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and North Crescent (straight-up 90210 territory), I saw both a Bentley Continental ragtop...

Slice was apparently featured on Good Day LA this morning during the "Maria Surfs the Web" segment. Thanks to Maria Quiban for the shout out. Greetings to any new folks in Los Angeles who may have found us via KTTV Fox 11.

ZOMG! Barone's in Los Angeles

L.A. Pizza Blog Something about the looks of this pizza makes me want to eat the crap out of it. JAB at L.A. Pizza Blog reviews it and says: This pizza as you can see is extremely different than any other pizza I've had, probably most pizza you will get anywhere... The crust was very thin and crunchy... Toward the middle the crust was a little less chewy but still retained the dense, thin, and chewy traits... The sauce was a heavier tomato sauce similar in style to a pasta/marinara sauce with a lot of flavor and spices. The...

L.A.: Mozza Expansion Means Take-Out Pizza and a Pizza School

News from L.A. Weekly's Squid Ink blog that Pizzeria Mozza is expanding to include a blip of a take-out pizzeria (with just four seats) and a pizza school: Yet it's the eastern part and biggest section of the shop that will really get people talking.

A long counter at the rear frames a small pizza oven and other ridiculously gorgeous shiny cooking...

Michael Bauer's Pizza Fridays

"It hurts me, because they act as if I'm trying to get something over on them. I wish I had the nerve to charge $50, because that's what it's worth." —Anthony Mangieri Michael Bauer, the food critic of the San Francisco Chronicle, has apparently gone pizza mad after eating at Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles. The pies there inspired him to talk to some of the acknowledged masters of pizza: Anthony Mangieri (Una Pizza Napoletana, New York), Chris Bianco (Pizzeria Bianco, Phoenix), and Nancy Silverton (Mozza).

A Sprinkle of Cheese

New York Times on Accademia di Vino: Anyone familiar with the grilled pizzas of Al Forno, the Italian restaurant in Providence, R.I., will be glad that Kevin Garcia, who once worked the dough there, is serving very satisfying clones of those crackling crusted gems at Accademia di Vino, where he is now the chef.X-ray-thin crusts have judicious coatings of cheese — robiola, goat cheese, ricotta, sheep cheese — and sparing but flavorful toppings like broccoli rabe, black truffle pâté and soppressata. The tomato and mozzarella pie is dotted with cherry tomato halves and fresh basil. One pizza caveat: skip...
