The Most Awesome Recycling Bundle EVER

[Photograph: Adam Kuban] OK, the above pile of discarded, greasy pizza boxes would be nothing special in New Haven, but I have to admit I had a strange pizza daydream as I was downloading slices from them into freezer bags for storage in my Brooklyn home. As I said to Girl Slice: "Do you know that if a pizza connoisseur walked by this pile on recycling day, he or she WOULD FREAK? This is like if you put out empty boxes for Xbox, Wii, and PlayStation on the same day. Like the day after Christmas. But greasier." Girl Slice's...

Dear Slice: 'Heading to NYC, and Pepe's in New Haven'

Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got a message from longtime reader TJ, who wrote to Slice in early September asking, "If I could only eat at one NYC pizzeria besides Di Fara, what should it be?" I opened that one up to discussion here, and it looks like TJ's taken all our advice into consideration and has his pick—Patsy's East Harlem. But he mentioned New Haven pizza, and I've got some thoughts on that. Feel free to chime in once again, folks. --The Mgmt. Our pizza order at Sally's (from left): tomato slice and mozzarella pie, plain...

Connecticut: Frank Pepe's vs. Frank Pepe's 'The Spot'

The larger "newer" Frank Pepe's oven vs. the older oven at "The Spot." Photographs by Jason Perlow On his blog, Off the Broiler, Jason Perlow breaks down the differences between the "new" Frank Pepe's Pizzeria Napoletana on Wooster Street and Frank Pepe's "The Spot," the smaller original location tucked away just behind it. The Spot is a smaller, less hectic location, that has a more intimate atmosphere, and we didn’t have to wait an hour to get in. Of course, now that Jason has blogged about this "secret," I suspect the lines at "The Spot" will get longer and...

Blogger: Frank Pepe's 'Overrated, Overhyped, Awful'

The blog Food Network Humor reacts to Alan Richman's pizza list in GQ, focusing on No. 12 Frank Pepe's: Here’s the thing: I live in Connecticut. I’ve waited in the lines. I’ve feasted on the various “world famous” pizza pies. And I’ve left disappointed, every time. Sure the place is filled with history, and yes, they cook in a coal oven, but so what? The result is a tired, dated restaurant and pizzas that are so chewy you can hardly swallow them. The truth is, Pepe’s serves the worst pizza I have ever eaten in my life (and I’ve...

Openings: Kitchen Zinc, New Haven, Connecticut

Not sure if this would normally get its own Openings post, because there's not much info in the story to tell me, or you, if this is some serious pizza, but some folks in New Haven are opening a place called Kitchen Zinc. Yes, it gets its own post because it's pretty ballsy to open a new pizzeria in New Haven, what with all the heavyweights already there. "There's a huge artisan pizza movement now," she said, where eateries make dough by hand each morning and use fresh ingredients such as locally made sausage and goat cheese. Kitchen Zinc 966...

Dear Slice: Thanks for the Tip on New Haven

Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got ... Photograph by Robyn Lee Hello, Love your website. Just made it to Frank Pepe for the first time and thought I'd share. Drove from New York City to Cape Cod this past Saturday and pulled over in New Haven. Couldn't remember the name of the pizza places in New Haven, so the first cop I saw I asked for directions to "that famous pizza place." He gave me directions to Frank Pepe. I arrived there at 1:45 p.m., and even though it was 95 and humid, there was a line...
