Yonkers NY: Frank Pepe's in the 'New York Times'
[Photographs: New York Times] The New York Times takes a look at the newish Frank Pepe's branch that opened in Yonkers in early November of last year: The pizza is very good — although you have to be careful what you order. The original tomato pie, a Spartan exercise in dough topped only with crushed tomatoes and a sprinkling of Romano cheese, tasted of good-quality canned tomatoes and little else. That same pie with mozzarella was better, and one with mozzarella and spicy, fennel-spiked pepperoni was downright delicious. A version with plump marinated shrimp was also surprisingly good. And...Photo of the Day: Cold Spring Pizza

I just got a message on Facebook: "Just an FYI, there is another Luzzo's opening in Westbury (Long Island, Nassau County). I saw a sign today, called the original, and they confirmed it." [Thanks for the tip, Dan!] Update: Luzzo's owner Michele Iuliano has sold this location. "It was too far out," he said. "I didn't like driving there every day."...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...Openings: Frankie & Fanucci’s, Hartsdale, N.Y.

I'm not a big fan of cracker-thin pizza crust, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked Eddie's pizza, which features a crust not much thicker than one of those pieces of cardboard sandwiched inside my laundered shirts. Though the crust is cracker-thin, it's surprisingly pliant. You can fold a slice of Eddie's pizza. Through five owners and seven decades, Eddie's has been pleasing Nassau County residents determined to save the bulk of the room in their stomachs for beer, not pizza.

Tarry Lodge. It's Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich's sorta newish restaurant in Port Chester, New York, that features pizza on its menu. Alan Richman says: Tarry Lodge is one of the most interesting pizzerias in New York. The crusts are thin, charred, toothsome, and just a bit too chewy—you’re unlikely to finish off every bit of your puffy outer ring. The toppings—I tried four—are creative and triumphant. Not one dud. They include spicy salami and porcini; truffles, pig cheek, and egg; meatballs and jalapeño peppers; and a clam pie that is unlike any other clam pizza I’ve tried, which means...Bob Petrillose, Hot Truck Founder and French Bread Pizza Inventor, Dies
