As you may have guessed from my previous post, I went to the movies this weekend. Not for Indy but to finally see Iron Man. I'd heard some nasty pizza-related rumors about Tony Stark from some of you out there. Turns out, they were true. After escaping from three months in an Afghanistan cave, Stark gets home to Malibu, California, and meets with his business partner and soon-to-be nemesis Obadiah Stane. Stane has just flown in from a Stark Industries board meeting in New York City. And he has pizza that he's schlepped back with him. And where does...
Click for map » Just got word from George Motz, one of the masterminds behind the NYC Food Film Festival, that the pizza component of this year's summer screenings will be held al fresco in the parking lot next to Grimaldi's, 19 Old Fulton Street, Brooklyn NY 11201 (map). What better place than under the Brooklyn Bridge for a line-up of three films that starts with Motz's own short film Brooklyn Pizza?

I love it when a plan comes together. For years, I've been wanting to get a clip of the opening scene of Saturday Night Fever, the bit where John Travolta's Tony Manero orders two slices of pizza from Lenny's, double-decks them and struts down 86th Street in Bensonhurst. After mentioning the film earlier tonight, I dug around on YouTube, found the opener, and trimmed the vid down to just the relevant pizza-related footage. Enjoy ......
Some of you pizzaheads may already have Pizza! The Movie on your radar. Word is that the producers (see photo, above) have finished it and it's being screened at various film festivals. The nearest screening to Slice HQ will be in Trenton, New Jersey, on Sunday May 7 at 2:30 p.m., as part of the Trenton Film Festival. Anybody up for making a pizza road trip out there? Here's the plan: We'll take the 12:13 p.m. NJTransit Northeast Corridor Line from Penn Station and arrive in Trenton at 1:37 p.m. Round-trip Off-Peak tix are $19.50 each. From there, it's...
The following cluster of photos will no doubt be bewildering. But bear with me. Today's theme is "lights." And lots of them. It's a theme that strings together the over-the-top Christmas decorations of Dyker Heights and the below-the-ankle action of Saturday Night Fever. That, and the fact that both spectacles take place in roughly the same area of Brooklyn. After that, the association kinda falls apart....
"In Yonkers, New York, a pizza battle is being waged. But there can only be one hero. Rossi vs. Bianco. Sauce vs. crust. Angela vs. Tony. Now ... the last thing anyone expected to happen ... just happened. Grab a slice of romance. A Tale of Two Pizzas." Looking to catch a Romeo and Juliet story that takes place in pizzaland? A Tale of Two Pizzas opens tonight at the AMC Empire 25 in Times Square. The 7:30 p.m. screening ends with a Q&A session with the cast, including a couple of the guys from the Sopranos, Vincent "Big...
Yeah, I'll Check Out A Movie BUT EVERYBODY LOVES PIZZA Danny Aiello's character, Sal (left), pulls a slice from the oven at Sal's, in Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing. In one of the movie's most memorable scenese, Bill Nunn's character, Radio Raheem (right), explains the dichotomy of love and hate, the film's central theme. Spike Lee's latest joint, She Hate Me, opened Wednesday. And though we haven't had time to catch it yet, you can bet Slice's ass will be in the seats sometime soon. One: We're big Spike Lee fans. Two: The film's title references Rod Smart's He...
