Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan in Kevin Smith's 'A Couple of Dicks' at L&B Spumoni Gardens
Albert Grande mentioned last week that his pizza tour was canceled because one of the stops—L&B Spumoni Gardens—was closed for a movie shoot. Here's a photo from the shoot, courtesy of NBC Universal's Recent Postings blog....Mystic Pizza, Twenty Years After the Movie
Before it was called Mystic Pizza, and before it inspired the namesake movie with Julia Roberts, the Connecticut seaside mom-and-pop was called Ted's. Definitely didn't have the same ring to it, and owner Stefanos Zelepos knew that. He later changed it to Mystic, asking himself, "who is this Ted guy?" Twenty years after the movie—a coming-of-age centered around three girls working at the pizza parlor—Mystic Pizza still inspires visitors who want to know, was it really filmed there? Did Julia Robers really breathe here? Technically, no. That would have required closing down the place for six months, which at...Dear Slice: Who You Gonna Call for Deep Dish?
Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got ... Adam, I don't know if you've seen Ghostbusters II, but, there's a scene where Dan Ayckroyd's character is discussing what to eat with Harold Ramis's character: "Chinese?" "Thai?" "Na, too spicy." "Pizza!" "Thick or thin?" "Chicago." (Ayckroyd's character). My question is, in 1989 (or even today), would there have been any place in NYC to get a Chicago style of pizza? I'm thinking that this was Ackryod's little joke on NYC. Thanks, Thomas H. Saline, Michigan...NYC Food Film Festival Pizza Night
Went to the NYC Food Film Festival last night and had a pretty good time. Festival co-organizer George Motz screened his short film Brooklyn Pizza, and the short documentary Pure and Simple, a day in the life of Una Pizza Napoletana, was also shown. Photos and such, after the jump....Domino's Creates Fake 'Gotham City Pizzeria' Website as Batman Tie-In
I've gotta hand it to Domino's. They've come up with a pretty clever viral-marketing stunt in the creation of the fictional Gotham City Pizzeria website. It's got just enough detail to be fun, with an About Us page that gives the owners' story ("more than 200 locations throughout the City ... Now nobody has an excuse to eat bad pizza in Gotham") and Our Pledge to Gotham, in which GCP promises to support Batman. Two-Face Trailer: There's a "secret" link to a Two-Face trailer if you hover over the "HA" in Gotham on the GCP page. [Tip o' the hat...NYC Food Film Festival, the Pizza Edition, TONIGHT

As you may have guessed from my previous post, I went to the movies this weekend. Not for Indy but to finally see Iron Man. I'd heard some nasty pizza-related rumors about Tony Stark from some of you out there. Turns out, they were true. After escaping from three months in an Afghanistan cave, Stark gets home to Malibu, California, and meets with his business partner and soon-to-be nemesis Obadiah Stane. Stane has just flown in from a Stark Industries board meeting in New York City. And he has pizza that he's schlepped back with him. And where does...Events: Pizza Film Fest to Screen in Parking Lot Next to Grimaldi's
