And you can't beat the price Price: Margherita, $8; quattro stagioni, $10 Had a couple pizzas at Forno Italia on Friday night. It'd been quite some time since I'd visited the place, and I'm happy to report that it lived up to memory. Girl Slice and I ordered...

The Fake Nicky's Pizza in 'Julie & Julia'

Photograph from Sony Pictures Entertainment As far as pizzeria names go, Nicky's Pizza is a pretty popular one. From Sheboygan, Wisconsin, to Saugus, Massachusetts, Nicky definitely gets around. But the facade of the one in Julie & Julia (in theaters August 7) doesn't actually exist. When asked about the storefront below her apartment, Julie Powell told us that in real life, it was a diner. The fictionalized pizzeria on 40th Avenue in Long Island City, often flashed on screen before a kitchen scene upstairs with Powell, cannot actually be reached at 718-555-0163. Like all Hollywood and TV-show 555- numbers,...

It is in the Pathmark shopping center on Linden Place and the Whitestone Expressway. I have been going there for years and can't believe that you haven’t been there yet. Give it a shot.

Nick's Pizza, Forest Hills

On Sunday I found myself in Forest Hills, Queens, on a typography tour led by Paul Shaw, a calligrapher, typographer, and lettering instructor at Parsons. Forest Hills? I had no idea it was such a hotbed of typographic wonders—so I had no idea what typefaces or lettering we'd be in for there. I did, however, have a pretty strong idea what I'd be doing for lunch after the tour: Nick's Pizza. For me, "Forest Hills" and "Nick's" have been pretty near synonymous for years, since it's usually talked about when New York's pizza biggies are named. "Blah blah blah,...
