Pizza from a Backyard Coal Oven on Staten Island
Joseph L. Nizza/Atlantic Food Channel On Staten Island, 84-year-old Sylvia Prestia has been making pizza for decades in a makeshift coal oven. From the Atlantic Food Channel: Only in Staten Island could a pizza like this be the next best thing to eating meat, a pie created in 2008 for the meatless Fridays of Lent. Only in Staten Island could that pizza be called "The Passion of the Crust," and come with a free T-shirt declaring, "IT'S ABOUT THE PASSION!!" Only in Staten Island could that very same pizza spark so much outrage, it was featured on the front...Awesome Comment on SILive.com
From ITLBS1 on SILive.com, referencing a pizza war going down on Hylan Boulevard on Staten Island: Some people may like Goodfella's. As much as it sucks.It's the same with BOSE Speakers. Everyone thinks they are great. They are overpriced, underperforming pieces of crap. But people think they are the best. My home theater system would set them on fire.Same with I-Pods, they are crap. To each their own. It's a personal preferrence and some people like it, poor taste I guess?When everyone wanted SONY (CRT) Trinitron's I preferred Hitachi. My 36" Hitachi from 1986 is still going. TV is not...Salvatore of Soho: Great Pizza on ... Staten Island

Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got an awesome piece of intel on Staten Island pizza. Hey Adam, As a Staten Island resident for all of my life, I thought I could give you some insight on the places i've been to, as well as a new place that seems undiscovered, but in my opinion, has better pizza than Joe & Pats and definitely Nunzio's. First, you have to understand my reasons for e-mailing you. I am a college student in my first year at Loyola College in Maryland, and cannot go without pizza. If you could, foward...Best Pizza on Staten Island?
"I quietly hang around and drink it all in. It's just got all sorts of fascinating cultural components and the best pizza I've ever had—Tony's on Bay Street." —Lawrence O'Donnell, former West Wing writer and creator of upcoming FX cop show to be titled Staten Island Tony's Brick Oven Pizza 1140 Bay Street, Staten Island NY 10305 (map) 718-816-6516...Slice vs. Vice: Stone-Coal WRONG
Best-of lists are opinions, and opinions are like assholes—everybody's got one. Am I right? But there's opinion and then there's fact. Sometimes folks come down with some wack stuff that mixes opinion and so-called fact, getting us all to the point where we don't know what to believe. That's when Slice pulls out the truth hammer and gives someone a knock on the skull with it. Witness Vice magazine's statement about Lee's Tavern from that pizza list we mentioned yesterday: "Their coal-oven pizzas surpass the vaunted Lombardi’s and just about every other place we’ve tried." Let's break it down....Vice Magazine on Di Fara Pizza (and Others)
Vice magazine released a New York City guide last week, and on it, they cover pizza. (You have to cover pizza if you're releasing any type of NYC food guide.) Here's what they say: Local food bloggers bicker over whether this Midwood pizza parlor is clean or dirty (truth: it’s pretty dirty) or whether it is running on fumes nowadays or whether watching an old guy futz with their pizza is kind of patronizing. We, however, aren’t food bloggers and couldn’t give a shit. If you’re in this town to eat pizza, Di Fara should be on your list....Dear Slice: There's Other Pizza on Staten Island, You Know
Hi Adam, Here are some suggestions for Staten Island. In regard to the three you have visited, Denino's is legendary here but not as good as they once were, Nunzio's is very ordinary, and I'm baffled as to why you so highly rate Joe & Pat's. Anyway, some suggestions, with the name of the shop and the neighborhood: Brother's in Port Richmond: Not only the best on Staten Island, but the best New York–style pie I've ever hadGentile's in Tottenville: Excellent pizza, but only available by the pieKingdom Pizza in Eltingville: Pretty good, especially the vodka supreme; our everyday place...Denino's
At Denino's, the pizza box says it all: "In Crust We Trust." They should trust their crust, because it is light and crisp and pliant. Denino's is a classic red-brick tavern pizzeria (with a separate dining room), but it is just as welcoming to kids after a little league game as it is to middle-aged softball players coming in for a pie and a brew after a game. I'm crazy about Denino's sausage pie, which features fine sweet Italian sausage made fresh every day by a local butcher. If you want to go vegetarian, try the white pie, made...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network. To advertise on this site or across a network of food-related weblogs, click here.
