DeMarco's Bartender Killed in Shooting
Some sad news today. Romero Morales, a bartender at DeMarco's Pizzeria (a kinda-sorta offshoot of legendary Di Fara) was shot and killed last night for unknown reasons by a gunman. The shooter ran from DeMarco's and was chased by two auxiliary policemen—Nicholas Pekearo and Yevgeniy Marshalik—, who were then shot and killed by the gunman. The shooter, in turn, was shot and killed by cops arriving on the scene moments later. The New York Times says: It was unclear last night what lay behind the first shooting at the pizzeria, DeMarco’s at 146 Macdougal Street. The police said the...The $1,000 Pizza
The folks at Grub Street, New York magazine's foodblog, try a mighty expensive pizza: "Made of crème fraîche, six kinds of caviar (including a sac-load of intense black Russian Royal Sevruga, the same kind used in Norma’s omelette), and shaved slices of fresh lobster, the sample sowed confusion in our proletarian ranks." Eh. You'd be an idiot to order one of these things. It's a waste of good pizza and good caviar. But, apparently, Bo Dietl purchased one. There's one born every minute. If you feel like being a sucker, the pizza is available at Nino's Bellissima Pizza, 890 Second...Judging in the America's Plate Pizza Competition
The following events took place last Tuesday, March 6, at the Javits Center in Manhattan, during the New York Pizza Show. I was on hand to judge in PMQ magazine's America's Plate pizza competition. Contestants came from Canada, Luxembourg, France, Spain, Italy, Australia, and the U.S. I had wanted to live-blog the proceedings, but I experienced technical difficulties early in the day. So, here is the tape-delayed version of last week's events. 9:31 a.m.: I enter the Javits Center. It's my first time here. Lots of tall glass and concrete. Doesn't seem very inspiring for a building that in many...New Yorkers, Chicagans: FIGHT!

Contestant No. 3: 'The Gold Pizza', blogged to Slice from the Flickr photostream of Slice Just one of many pizzas I ate today at the New York Pizza Show. Sorry I didn't blog from it as promised. The Javits Center's wifi sucked and wouldn't let me on after I paid for access. Report coming ......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

The Hot Truck, blogged to Slice from the Flickr photostream of Slice Hey, folks: I just published a story about the original French bread pizza joint on Serious Eats.... It was late last Friday evening and I was on the phone with my girlfriend's sister after having recently arrived in Ithaca, New York, for a weekend visit. "Drive up to campus, and ask any student. Everybody knows where it is," Sis said. "We'll meet you there in 15 minutes." Armed with that tip and a simple map drawn by the motel desk clerk, we set out on the snowy...Mailbag: Abate Pizza
Dear Slice, If you ever make it back to New Haven, you could do a lot worse than Abate, just a little way down Wooster Street from the better known places. Always overlooked because of its famous neighbors, you won't get slow or rude service there, and the pizza is excellent. Modern is excellent also. Considered one of the big three but seemingly without all the attitude of the other two. I've had some great pizza at numerous places in the greater New Haven area. There are some mediocre places in New Haven as well, but, in general, the standard...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network.
