A number of you have been emailing and tweeting us (@slice), asking if we had any word on when Totonno's in Coney would be open again. (Last we heard, it was mid July.) Well, I just got off the phone with Totonno's owner Lawrence Cimineri, and he says we're looking at late August now. While rebuilding, they found some structural issues unrelated to the fire that they wanted to take care of while they already had the patient opened up, so to speak. "It's a very old building, you know how it is," Cimineri said. So there you go,...Alan Richman Names Top 25 Pizzas in the U.S.

Totonno's, as it used to look. Photograph from timkang on Flickr Lost City reports that the Coney Island Totonno's reopening has been moved back to mid July from the earlier June projection date.

Totonno's, as it used to look. Photograph from timkang on Flickr I've had a lot of you emailing me or asking me in person: When is Totonno's in Coney reopening? As you should know, there was a fire at the legendary coal-oven pizzeria on March 14. When last we talked to Totonno's owner Lawrence Ciminieri, he said he thought the place would reopen in a month's time—which would be around, oh, now. I just got off the phone with Ciminieri, and he tells me that the target reopen date is now early June. "It took four weeks just to...Totonno's Fire: They Will Rebuild
Lawrence Ciminieri, in front of the Totonno's oven we hope to be eating pizzas from again soon. I called Totonno's owner Lawrence Ciminieri to find out more about the fire damage horrified Slice reader Rob S. discovered when he went to the original Coney Island location yesterday. Ciminieri says, "Everything is going to be fine. The fire broke out in the coal storage area when we were closed. It must have been ignited by something backed up in the oven. The back two rooms are gone. The dining room is fine. The oven will have to be re-bricked, but...Fire Severely Damages Coney Island Totonno's

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....Visiting New York City? 7 Must-Eat Pizzas You Should Try
Editor's note: In mid June, Slice reader Lance Roberts emailed me, asking if I'd help him complete his pizza itinerary. He was visiting New York City from Los Angeles, and he wanted to pack in as much pizza as he could—but only the best. I gave him some recs. He came, he ate, and then he wrote.
