My Pizza Oven: Mark Graban, Fort Worth, Texas
I'm happy to highlight Mark Graban's pizza oven here on the site today. Mark was actually the first Slice reader to ever contact me and send me links and info about a backyard pizza oven. This must have been back in early 2007 or so. Since then, I've checked in on his blog* periodically to see what he's up to. Without further ado, let's fire up this Q&A! —The Mgmt. [Photographs: Mark Graban] When did you put it in? Our inspiration for the oven was the world-famous (rightfully so) Pizzeria Bianco. My wife and I used to live in Phoenix,...Photo of the Day: Big Pizza, Little Kid
From the blog Home & Season: We headed home, then ordered in some pizza, from Big Lou’s….OMG this is the pizza to die for…absolutely delicious. Everything is made from scratch. We’ve met the owner, he’s a down to earth guy. The biggest pizza you can order is 42″…I’m not kidding. Then you have to pay $5.00 extra for the box, oh and you need a truck or a van to fit the pizza if you’re ordering out! And you must have a big crowd to feed or you’ll be having pizza for the next two days! Here’s a pic...Bogey's Pizza & Guns, a Combination Pizzeria and Gun Shop
Bogey's Pizza & Guns seems like it might be legit, according to the website Neatorama, which found a website, reports of people visiting, and a phonebook listing. When I called, however, the shop said it was "closed for a couple of weeks," with no definitive date to mark the temporary closing or reopening. I'm still skeptical until I can get verification, but it's fun to think it might be real. And, heck, there have been weirder combos—like this sneaker shop burger joint.

If you don't follow the comings and goings of coal-oven pizzerias around the country—and, really, if you're halfway normal, why would you?—then you may not know there are other Grimaldi's outside the New York City area. Sure, you might know about the Hoboken Grimaldi's, but, wait ... there's one in Texas? Say wha? Yes, there are a handful in Texas and the Southwest, all (or most) rocking coal ovens, from what I can tell. Also, from what I can piece together, they are loosely affiliated with the original only in that a different set of owners licensed the name...Grimaldi's in Dallas–Fort Worth Area
How's the new Grimaldi's in the Dallas–Fort Worth area stacking up to local coal-fired pizzeria Coal Vines? According to the blog Donna Cooks, pretty well. It should be noted that this Grimaldi's appears to be affiliated in name only with the one under the Brooklyn Bridge here in New York, the one in Hoboken, or the one on Long Island....Coal Vines Slideshow
I forgot about this photo set, but earlier this year, our web developer here at Slice–Serious Eats HQ went on a trip to Dallas and visited Coal Vines, one of America's coal-oven pizzerias not in New York or New Haven. He brought back some pix, below: Doesn't look half bad, does it?

I've been workin' in the coal mine, digging up some more coal-oven pizzerias to bring you. Although New York City and New Haven, Connecticut, are two of the most famous coal-oven towns, did you know there are coal joints in Florida; Philly; Chicago; Des Moines, Iowa; Dallas; and Scottsdale, Arizona? They're all on the Slice National Coal-Oven Pizza Map....Pizza for Pesos Program Extended
Pizza Patron, the Texas-based pizza chain that received death threats when it announced it would take Mexican pesos at its U.S. stores, is extending the program. It was supposed to run through February but will now run through the end of April. Founder Antonio Swad: “We have carved this niche in the pizza industry to compete and serve an underserved market, the Latino customer, not to make any political statement.” Texas: Chain Extends Pizza-For-Pesos Program - New York Times...Virgin Mary Appears on Pizza Pan
