"Hell, maybe we like Chicago a lot and wanna come back. The pizza's freakin' good." —Doc Rivers, Boston Celtics coach, after the Bulls beat the Celtics, 121-118 (two overtimes!)...Papa John's LeBron James 'Crybaby' Shirt Controversy Means Cheap Pizza for Clevelanders
The news: Some Cleveland Cavaliers fans are boycotting Papa John's because of a T-shirt circulated at the Cavs-Washington Wizards game on Friday night. Behind the news: The shirt had the word "crybaby" emblazoned above James's number, 23, and was distributed by a local Papa John's as a way to help fans distract James during Friday's game. "Crybaby" was a reference to James's waterworks and whining over being fouled excessively hard in a previous game. The shirt nonsense didn't get much play until John Eick from the blog So Good posted about it and had Cleveland fans rallying against the...Pizza Showdown: The Best Delivery Pizza
With all the options available from the nationwide pizza chains, things can get a little confusing.Sliced Foul!
“I’ve never caught a foul ball in my life. It’s been my dream to catch one. That’s the closest I’ve ever come. The pizza just thwarted it,” so says Red Sox fan Jason Sole, who's seen getting hit with a flying pizza in the video that follows:...Buy Me Some Pizza and Cracker Jack
Just got back from tonight's Yankees vs. Indians game (Yankees, 1-0). The seats kicked ass; the pizza didn't. It's Famous Famiglia, which you may be familiar with from one of its many locations in New York City or around the country. As one of my companions this evening said, "Eh. It's no better or no worse than Sbarro." You know the score -- I'd recommend sticking to the equally overpriced but more traditional hot dog, peanuts, and beer menu. Slices are $4.50 (!!!) each for plain or pepperoni and are sized smaller than typical slice-joint portions. Here's the upskirt:...U.S. Olympic Curler a Pizzeria Owner
From Flickr member MatthewBradley. From Reuters: PINEROLO, Italy — U.S. men's curling skip Pete Fenson is making the most of being in Italy for the Olympics to do some research for his day job. He's the owner of two Minnesota pizza parlors. "We've been to more than one pizza place, it is excellent, really good," he said. "But it's not like mine. Mine's different than most. Cue joke about frozen pizza. US pizza parlor skip samples Italian [Reuters]...Forget About the Medal Count ...
The Associated Press blogs the 2006 Olympic Winter Games. A few blocks away, on Via San Tomasso, I found a great pizza shack -- one slice with spinach and edam cheese, one slice with mushrooms and prosciutto -- that charged about half the press center price. And across the street was an ice cream shop. A cone with stracciatella (chocolate chip) costs a euro and a half. AP Blogs From the Olympics [New York Times]...Pizza on the 'Colbert Report'
On Slice, I'm pretty monomaniacal on what I post about: pizza. Sure, I'd love to rhapsodize about how great the new Battlestar Galactica is (I'm dying for the new season to start). Or the sad, sad cancelation of Arrested Development. But I can't. I've gotta stay on message here. So until I see Admiral Adama chowing down on a slice between cylon attacks or I run across one of the Bluths ordering a pie on the AD DVDs, I can't go there. But the fleeting mention of pizza on last night's Colbert Report gives me license to mention this...A Slice of the Action
The baseball playoffs are upon us, and once again the Yankees are enabling hizzoner's gambling habit. The Bronx Bombers managed to scrape themselves into postseason play, prompting Bloomie to place a bet on the Yankees-Angels series with Anaheim's mayor, Curt Pringle. If the Angels win, Mayor Mike will cough up "some of New York's best to the people of Anaheim, including two dozen hot dogs from Nathan's Famous, two pounds each of pastrami, corned beef and brisket, three loaves of jumbo seedless rye bread and two pounds of mustard from Katz's Deli, and two Pizza alla Vodka pies from Goodfella's...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network.
