Pizza and a Movie in Trenton, Anyone?
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?

From there, it's...Like These Pizzas, Slice Does
Pizza the Hut would be proud. Pizzas and photographs by Christine Castro, from her Flickr photostream....Lenny'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....Opening Tonight: A Tale of Two Pizzas
"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...Flashback: 'Do The Right Thing'
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...You Can Tell by the Way I Fold My Slice
How Deep Is Your Love ... for Pizza? Enough to cram two slices into your face at once? [From the website myatari.] I was goofin' around on the Web yesterday and found this image of Tony Manero (John Travolta) from Saturday Night Fever eating pizza. Employing a novel approach to downing two slices at once, Mr. Manero has folded the pieces around each other. Filmed in Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst, Saturday Night Fever's main character would have grown up around plenty of good pizza. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of worthwhile pizzerias still operating in those neighborhoods. L&B...Pizza Face at Dino's Pizzeria
Speaking of pizza in movies, Page Six reports that actor Robert Downey Jr. was at Dino's Pizzeria in Astoria filming a movie:...Rock 'N' Roll Pie School
No Pizza for You, Joey: Joey Ramone, whose birthday was yesterday, in a video capture from the movie Rock 'N' Roll High School. To the right of Joey's head, you can make out the stack of pizza boxes that the rest of the band is tearing into. The band's manager only lets Joey eat health food. Yesterday, May 19, was Joey Ramone's birthday. Although the frontman of legendary punk rock band The Ramones died in April 2001 of lymphatic cancer, his friends and family have continued to throw the annual bash that had been his tradition. To honor Joey...Elfin Goodness
Will Ferrell makes me cry. I just saw Elf last night, and the guy's antics had me laughing to the point of tears. Ferrell plays Buddy, a human raised by elves. When Buddy is confronted with his true identity, he's off to New York City, where his father lives. Before leaving the North Pole, he asks Santa (Ed Asner), "What's New York like?" Santa replies, "There are a few things you should know. If you see gum on the sidewalk, leave it. It's not free candy. There are thirty-five Ray's Pizza. They all claim to be the original, but...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network. To advertise on this site or across a network of food-related weblogs, click here.
