You might have already seen the Di Fara short documentary The Best Thing I Ever Donehere on Slice (indeed, I just embedded it above again), but if you live in NYC, you can see it again, on the big screen, followed by a Q&A session with proprietor Dom DeMarco's daughter Margaret — and possibly Dom himself, if he's feeling up to it, says M. Emily MacKenzie, the film's director.
This Thursday, eat good pizza for a good cause at Slice Out Hunger, which will take place from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at GAP Adventures (one of the organizers) in Greenwich Village. There will be $1 slices from Lombardi's, John's of Bleecker, Joe's, and NY Pizza Suprema, with all the money going directly to City Harvest, New York City's food rescue squad. While scarfing back the pizza, you can check out the Pizza Boxes of the World exhibit, a collection of boxes sent in from all over by Scott's Pizza Tours alumni (tour guide Scott Wiener is also one of...

An interesting tweet from Lee Schrager, the man behind the NYC Wine & Food Festival: @Lee_Schrager: "what are your fav pizza places in NY? we are lining them up now for Pizza Party at #NYCWFF this October..wouldnt Rocco be a great host?" Very intriguing. If you're familiar with the Wine & Food Festival (sort of a South by Southwest of food), this should bring to mind such hot-ticket NYCWFF events as the annual Rachael Ray Burger Bash (which also takes place at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival) and last year's Meatball Madness party. While there are hundreds of...
[Photograph: Adam Kuban] Making its way around Twitter today attached to the hashtag #bikenyc is word that there's going to be a pizza bike ride in Brooklyn this Sunday, November 22, weather permitting. Meet at Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza at 11 a.m. From there, the ride will hit Di Fara and then L&B Spumoni Garden. I'm thinking of joining this ride, but if a lot of people join in (and, hey, the more, the merrier), I'm just wondering how things will work at Di Fara. A large group of cyclists descending on Di Fara would be a recipe for...
Kuban)" alt="The UPN Process: Bringing the Pie Out (by Adam "Slice"<br />Kuban)" width="500" height="335"> The Pieman's Craft event is almost surely your last chance to get an Anthony Mangieri–produced pie from this oven. When I talked to Anthony Mangieri a few months ago about once again hosting the Serious Eats–Slice Pieman's Craft events during the New York City Wine & Food Festival on October 10 and 11, his only hesitation was that he might be selling Una Pizza Napoletana to Motorino's Mathieu Palombino and his partners. He swore me to secrecy, and I honored his request. Well, as we...

The inaugural Neapolitan Pizza Forum will be held in Seattle June 24–29. Why Seattle, you ask? Well, there are several similarities between Naples and Seattle that make this city an ideal choice for VPN Americas' initial pizza convention. First of all, the skylines of both cities include a magnificent yet ominous volcano looming in the distance (Mount Vesuvius and Mount Rainier, respectively). Another shared geographical feature is that both of these busy ports are anchored in a magnificent bay. But from a culinary perspective, both Naples and Seattle are world-renowned for their inspired coffee and seafood, and most important,...
Pizza a Casa's Mark Bello leads the ingredient-procurement expedition during one of his pizza workshops. Mark Bello of Pizza a Casa has just announced two late-June pizza workshops. The classes comprise a walking tour of Manhattan's Chinatown and Little Italy, where students shop for ingredients at places like Alleva Dairy, and a hands-on workshop in Bello's kitchen. Ingredients are determined by what the class buys on the shopping portion of the workshop, but from a past Pizza a Casa event I attended, I can tell you that Bello's topping choices are thoughtful and delicious. Event Info This month's classes,...
