Stephen Starr's Philadelphia Pizzeria to Be 'Brooklyn-Style'
Radio station KYW uncovers some new details on Philadelphia restaurant mogul Stephen Starr's impending pizzeria: "I've been wanting to do pizza for a long time because I usually do things that I want. And I can't get really good pizza here in Philadelphia, so I'm just doing what I want to eat!"..."It's going to be real thin-crust, Brooklyn-style pizza, which you'd think is served here but it's not. Here it's just thick, doughy pizza. We're doing a lot of research on this." Tentative name: Pizza Select. Starr is shooting for a fall opening. [via The Illadelph]...Pizzeria in Trouble After Butchering Deer
"[Stromboli Pizza manager John] Okumus said one of the pizza shop's cooks mistakenly started butchering the deer, and a girl using the women's restroom peered into an open door to the kitchen and saw what was happening. A health inspector wrote up a report but the pizza shop was not cited." [The Morning Call; via Daniel M.]...Dear Slice: Check Out My Research Paper on NE Pennsylvania Pizza!
Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got some scholarly research to delve into. (Emphasis mine.) ... I'm in the American Studies graduate program at Penn State-Harrisburg. A link on your blog about Northeastern Pennsylvania being the Pizza Capital of the U.S. led me to a short research paper last spring, so I thought I'd share it. Most of this is nothing new to you experts, but you may find some of the info I found in mid-century city directories interesting. —Tim...Man Cooks 6-Foot-Long Pizza in His Barbecue Smoker
A man in York, Pennsylvania, made a six-foot-long pizza in his barbecue smoker. (He's got a Gator smoker—so called, I assume because of its length): I purchased the dough from a local pizza shop.... I heavily oiled the grate and we had three guys pulling the dough. We assembled it in two 3' sections that we worked together into one large pie.... we sauced and topped the pie with just about everything you could imagine, including peppers, onions, mushrooms, black olives, sausage, and bacon.... I used garlic powder and oregano and a blend of cheeses including mozzarella, romano, provolone,...Jigsy's: Old Forge–Style Pizza
Editor's note: Slice correspondent Philip G. checks in with an answer to a question I've had for a long, long time. —Adam K. "The story still doesn't answer the burning question: What exactly is Old Forge–style pizza?" —Adam Kuban Well, Adam, it's this:...Old Forge, Pennsylvania: The Pizza Capital of the World
CNN.com A nice little story on CNN about Old Forge, Pennsylvania, and its claim on being the "Pizza Capital of the World": We head out of Scranton, Pennsylvania, toward Old Forge, population approximately 10,000. In about 10 minutes we're driving down Main Street. I start counting the pizza cafés, as they call them here: Rinaldi's, Brutico's, Arcaro & Genell's, Anthony's, Ghigiarelli's -- 11 on this street alone. Within just a few blocks, there are at least nine more. Even the florist on Main Street is called "Pizzazz." With a population of 8,798 (June 2006), that's like one pizzeria for...AOL Cityguide: 13 Perfect Pizzas Across America

They're coming to get you, Barbara. And they're wearing Domino's uniforms. From the Smoking Gun: According to a police report ... when officers began taking an inventory of the station wagon, they noticed a stretcher in the rear of the vehicle (along with rubbish and wet clothing) where "pizzas were sitting to be delivered." Asked about the items, [William] Bethel explained that when he finished delivering Domino's pizzas, "he transports deceased bodies in the same vehicle for a funeral home." Thanks to Matt P. in New Brunswick for the link! Stiffs And Slices: Domino's delivery man transported pizza, corpses in...A Slice of Heaven: American Pizza Timeline
