Attention all serious eaters and pizza fanatics: On October 11, Slice founder Adam Kuban and I are going to be hosting a Serious Eats–Slice pizza-tasting and discussion with Anthony Mangieri at Una Pizza Napoletana. This pizza event is a fund-raising benefit and is part of the New York City Wine & Food Festival.
We're going to talk and eat pizza with Mangieri, surely one of the country's great pizzaioli. There will also be coal-fired brick-oven pizza from Totonno's as well as regular gas-oven New York slices to compare and contrast with Mangieri's Neapolitan-style pizza, along with wine, beer, and chocolate.
Everyone attending will also receive an autographed copy of my book, Pizza: A Slice of Heaven.
Tickets are $85, and all proceeds go to Share Our Strength and the Food Bank for New York City.
So come and eat pizza and hang out with Anthony, Adam, and me at Una Pizza at 3 p.m. Buy your tickets here.

What better place than under the Brooklyn Bridge for a line-up of three films that starts with Motz's own short film Brooklyn Pizza?
