The brick-and-mortar version of a popular trailer-mounted wood-burning pizza-maker is set to open in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood later this month. We blogged about Veraci earlier this summer here.... More

Seattle chef Tom Douglas talks to the Savory Cities folks about his pizzeria, Serious Pie. This video appears to be part of a sneak peek at the upcoming Savory Seattle site.... More

In which Slice wades waist-deep into the plaintive muck of Craigslist's Missed Connections in search of pizza-related longing. So come with me, my love, to the swamp of love that spawns this That's Amore. —The Mgmt. New York City Dean & Vanderbilt 10pm-ish: Woman in red t-shirt with pizza - m4w - 28: When you entered my field of vision I stopped in my tracks. The way you came around the corner with that pizza balanced so perfectly on your right hand while you didn't simply walk, but traveled with speed, grace, and style was a breathtaking sight. Simultaneously, a... More

Pity poor Ed Levine. When his workday doesn't involve ordering one of each doughnut at a well-regarded New York City doughnuttery, he gets to eat pizza from some of the country's best pizzerias and write about it for Details magazine. His findings cover some familiar ground to readers of Slice and of Mr. Levine's 2005 book PIzza: A Slice of Heaven, but there are some new entries to be savored. Pizzeria Bianco [623 East Adams Street, Phoenix AZ 85004; map] "The sauce tastes like a distillation of the ripest tomatoes."Di Fara[1424 Avenue J, Brooklyn NY 11230; map] "... a Di... More

seatlle sunset, blogged to Slice from the Flickr photostream of david haggard Cool link for you if you live in Jet City* or if you're traveling there or if you just love pizza: The Seattle Pizza Review. What do these guys have to say for themselves? Our deep interest in pizza led to the dream of opening our own pizzeria. Our hopes were dashed when Sam learned of a disgusting skin allergy to pizza sauce while working at Pagliacci. However, we soon realized that a pizza review could be a great outlet for our pizza obsession. In a dark... More

We mentioned Seattle chef Tom Douglas's soon-to-open pizzeria a couple weeks ago on Slice, but here's a very cool new twist -- especially for all you Seattleites eager to get in front of a pizza oven: Located just off the corner of Fourth Avenue and Virginia Street, in a storefront below the Dahlia Lounge and its adjacent bakery, Serious Pie will host 40 seats, a rotating lineup of cooks from Tom Douglas Restaurants and — here's the too-much-fun part — a weekly "open mike" night. That's when pizzaiola wannabes (yes, that means you, Gianni Q. Public), can strut their pizza-making... More

Even though a pre-Slice Adam K. used to visit Seattle often during his stint in the Pacific Northwest, he stuck mainly to dive bars and the Dick's Drive-In on Capitol Hill and not in any of Tom Douglas's restaurants. He's a Jet City institution, though, so Seattleites will like rejoice: Uberchef Douglas and his wife and business partner, Jackie Cross, are planning to add a casual new place to their mini-empire of culinary entrepreneurship. Serious Pie, a small pizzeria, is scheduled to open this summer in the existing Dahlia Bakery downtown, which is adjacent to Douglas' Dahlia Lounge restaurant (2001... More

We at Slice really feel for our pizza-lovin' peeps who don't live in New York City. They have to eat either some chain-store garbage or else some crap that some folks like to think of as pizza. That's why it's always nice to see former New Yorkers (in this case, a Brooklynite) open New York–style pizzerias in other cities. Piecora's NY Pizza in Seattle is such a place, according to this review in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.* Phuong Le says: I found the pizza crust to be more chewy than crispy, and slightly thicker than I expected -- not the super-thin...
