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....Deal: Any Pizza, Plus 2 Beers, $22.50 at Emporio
The EaterNY blog brings word of a deal Monday nights at Nolita's Emporio. Any pie on the menu, plus two beers, for $22.50. Choose a high-priced pie, and you'll have yourself a good deal. 231 Mott Street, New York NY 10012 (Spring/Prince; map); 212-966-1234; auroraristorante.com...Pics, Finally, from the Pieman's Craft Event
[Photograph: Adam Kuban] Well, it only took me a week, but I've finally processed the photos from last Saturday and Sunday's Pieman's Craft events. You'll find the slideshow after the jump....Openings: Artichoke Basille's West Side and New Grimaldi-Helmed Operation
The Eater NY has a couple good pieces of intel today. First, that Artichoke Basille's will open a West Side operation in the old Red Rock West Saloon space on Tenth Avenue and 17th Street. It'll be a sit-down restaurant, which is a little scary, seeing as how the original location on 14th Street near First is notorious for service—and that's take-out only. Second, that Patsy Grimaldi is looking to open a new coal-oven place to be called Juliana's. The Eater item doesn't mention where Grimaldi might open, only that he's looking for a space....Mac-and-Cheese Pizza Available at Hell's Kitchen Pizza
Perhaps the most famous purveyor of the mac-and-cheese slice is Ian's Pizza, based in Madison, Wisconsin, but the (literally) cheesy idea has invaded NYC in some spots, including Hell's Kitchen Pizza on Tenth Avenue (47th/48th streets). The blog Lemondrop has a taste. Whether it's as good as Ian's is purported to be, only a expat Wisconsonite could tell us. We got one in the audience willing to give it a go? Email me. Hell's Kitchen Pizza: 691 Tenth Avenue, New York NY 10036 (map); 212-765-8565...Motorino Manhattan to Open for Lunch
@motorino: "News! Starting next Monday, Oct. 5, Motorino East Village will be open for lunch starting at 11 a.m.!"...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-à-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...Pizza at the Bon Appétit Pop-up Supper Club & Cafe
[Photograph: Carey Jones/SENY] From Serious Eats New York: There are rotating specials, and today's was from the winner of the Gourmet Pizza Classic, a "Heavenly White Porcini Pizza" ($8) made by Lisa Kielas. Though Adam gave the toppings his seal of approval—Porcini mushrooms, with garlic, Fontina, and Parmesan—the crust was pale and a bit bready. Not worth it when there's other awesome stuff there, like the José Andrés–conceived J(amon)LT. Bon Appetit Supper Club and Café 101 West 57th Street, New York NY (map) This week only, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Full menu here; basupperclubandcafe.com...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network.
