Pizza and video games seem to go hand in hand. Think Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese. Think of all the times on The O.C. when the guys do some male bonding over pizza and PlayStation ("The Secret" and "The Ex-Factor" come to mind). Well, now you can order pizza from inside a video game: You're in luck - pizza is just a few key strokes away! While playing EverQuest II just type /pizza and a web browser will launch the online ordering section of pizzahut.com. Fill in your info and just kick back until fresh pizza is delivered...
As is the case with many restaurants frequented by stars, La Pizzeria in Napanee, Ontario, was eager to boast of its most notable patron, hometown grrrl Avril Lavigne. This pizzeria, however, made mention of the fact that the now-vegetarian Ms. Lavigne's favorite pizza there was an olive, mushroom, and pepperoni concoction. According to the teen music queen, that preference is so yesterday: She reveals, "It was green olives, pepperoni and mushrooms but I don't eat mushrooms or pepperoni anymore. Mushrooms aren't good for you and meat's not too great for you... I eat healthier than that now." But, Lavigne is...
Flight Cool: Not only was the Bell 47D-1 a workhorse of a helicopter, its design, by Bell Helicopter's Arthur Young, is a perfect marriage of form and function. So much so that the Museum of Modern Art includes one in its permanent collection (above). Photograph courtesy of Geoff Stearns. Photograph by GEOFF STEARNS .::. There's been some weird news in terms of pizza delivery over the last couple of days. Most recent is word out of the UK that an Army lieutenant used his helicopter to fly a pizza to his girlfriend, a British Army cadet stationed at a different...
We never thought we'd have occasion to mention Fashion Week on these rather unfashionable pages. You see, if Slice existed in print form, it'd best be described as "grease-stained pizza pulp." That's why we were surprised to receive, in print form, The Daily Front Row, the magazine that materializes twice a year (spring and fall) along with the haute couture extravaganza in Bryant Park. In Sunday's edition: Fashion designer Vera Wang cooking pizza! I mean, what the hell!? But, as you can see from Sunday's cover (above) and the spread (below), we are not making this up. Ms. Wang...
From Norway's Aftenposten: Striker Bård Erik Olsen, 32, has eight years experience with Norwegian second division club Sprint-Jeløy, and a stint with former top division club Moss, but had decided it was time to phase out sport and spend more time with his daughter. But fifth division club Tronvik was looking for a power striker, and thought they might tempt Olsen to beef up and delay retirement, newspaper Moss Avis reports. It started as a joke, but in the end the promise of a pizza a week convinced the striker to say yes. "I can't just completely cut out football...
Never seen a Powerpuff Girl cartoon in my life. Apparently they're three girl-power superhero girls. Apparently there's some monkey in there who wears a hat. Apparently this shit was hot, like, seven years ago. But if you're still into them and want to build your own Powerpuff Girl, go here. This wouldn't have even registered with us but for the fact that one of the accessories you can equip your girl with is pizza (see the screenshot of our girl, above). [Via The Real Janelle.]...
Pump My Ride: The classic New York pizza-delivery bike is specially configured to carry pies. This one is from Sal's in Cobble Hill, at the corner of Court and Degraw. Its rider pumps the pedals to bring you your pizza. Don't forget to tip. We at Slice, like many New Yorkers, don't keep that much food in the larder, relying instead on take-out and delivery for our daily bread. This weekend's snowstorm showed us the error of our ways. (Maybe we should lay in a few frozen pizzas in the icebox.) While we were tempted to call our favorite...
In high school, in the smallish Kansas City suburb where I grew up, all 18-year-old males were subject to a telephone call from Sgt. Hand. The call would come a few weeks after you mailed your Selective Service card to the government. Sgt. Hand, you see, was an Army recruiter. When it came to recruiting yours truly, however, Sgt. Hand's mission went unaccomplished. The Army's latest recruiter, however, might have had an easier time of it. That's because this branch of the military is now using pizza to convince youngsters to join up. From the New York Post: The U.S....
WHERE'S THE BEEF? Graf On The Gowanus: Some graffiti near the Carroll Street Bridge over Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal. While Slice's editors are sometime fans of graf, the stuff above is none too hot. Why there's a cabin cruiser moored in the nasty yet oddly compelling waterway (click photo for full-size shot) is beyond us.

PHOTOS OF NEW YORK If you want to see some photos of graffiti around New York City, there's a good chance you'll find some...
