The Clash Appears on Limited-Edition Punk-Rock Pizza Boxes
Gothamist has a good bit about limited-edition punk-rock pizza boxes at Pizza Shop on Avenue A. The first 1,500 punk-rock pizza boxes will feature an image of the Clash on them. The next edition will be the Ramones, Gothamist says. And Grub Street reports that Pizza Shop has commissioned Arturo Vega, the dude who did the Ramones' logo, to design its pizza box. Very cool. Pizza Shop 110 Avenue A, New York NY 10009 (at 7th Street; map) 212-614-9798...Mozzarella and the Mozzer
Morrissey. If you're familiar with the man and his music, the word mope springs to mind long before mozzarella does. Although, with nicknames like "Moz" or "Mozzer," you might be excused were you to search for a pizza connection to the former Smiths frontman and lyricist. Such was the case this morning when I plopped down at my desk after having seen the man in action at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom last night. In fact, the evening started with a couple slices of pizza at nearby New York Pizza Suprema. Doors opened early for the show, so my fellow fans...Slice's New Favorite Song: 'Dom'
An awesome email from the Slice inbox today: Dear Slice folks, My name's James, and I'm a fan of your site. Waaaaay back around 2001 or 2002, I wrote and recorded a song. It's called "Dom," and it is about a certain pizzaman in Brooklyn, about whom you know a little something. It's a little out of date now. Listen to "Dom": Dom I know the guy that makes the bestest pie in town His ass is not under the bridge You will not find him in Coney Island You will not find him in Bay Ridge...Cute Song: 'Take a Pizza to Lunch'
We recently got an email from songwriter Thomas Ventiquattro II alerting us to his new song "Take a Pizza to Lunch." You can hear a sample of it here. (Depending on your computer's settings, link may open in iTunes and begin playing music.)...People Who Need Pizza
From the November 28, 2005, issue of People magazine, a.k.a. the "Sexiest Man Alive" issue: What, you thought we were interested in Matthew McConaughey? And aren't Slice's editors the luckiest people in the world: A source brought it to our attention that Tricia Yearwood was on last Wednesday's Martha show and that pizza came up. Our tipster tells me that Ms. Stewart asked Ms. Yearwood if she had gone to any parties after the Country Music Awards. Ms. Yearwood said that she just went back to the hotel and ordered pizza. "What kind of pizza?" Martha asked. "Ray's, I think?"...Slicing Up Eyeballs
I want you to know that: " ... The Pixies' first gig was on a Wednesday night at Jack's Lounge in Boston, for which they were paid $17. Black says he was so nervous his legs shook. 'I remember I wrote the lyric to this song called Break My Body a few hours before, on the steps outside a pizza place in Harvard Square. I hadn't finished it, but we knew how to play this music, so I wrote a quickie lyric. The lyric may, in fact, show that if you were to look at it today ...' " Speaking of...Psoy Saucy
In our previous entry, we talked about a modern-day urban explorer, the Lonesome Hero, who in turn spoke a little about Russia and pizza by way of explaining his "Pizza World Tour." And so, speaking of pizza in Russia and Russians and pizza, and pizza world tours, we bring you a crazy little song by Psoy Korolenko, a "singing professor, dancing scholar, and academical bodysinger" from Russia. Mr. Korolenko sings a song about pizza, which our pal Cyrus alerted us to. (He found it here.) "Have you listened to it yet?" Cyrus asked me repeatedly. "Not yet." "You have to...Made To Order, Built To Last
The last time Slice was at Di Fara, our eagle-eyed metro editor, Seltzerboy, noticed the shop's crew writing orders on a nifty new notepad (above). On previous visits throughout the years, we had observed proprietor Dom DeMarco simply jotting down orders on whatever was at hand—often a paper plate or the take-out box a pie was destined to inhabit on its journey home. At one point during this visit, Dom's daughter left the pad unattended while she was in back. We saw our chance and moved in, enticed by the words "DiFara's Freehand Recipe." Would we be able to...Ween's Unreleased Pizza Hut Jingle
Any of you who are Ween fans may already know this, but back in Aught 2, the band was hired to do the jingle for Pizza Hut's Insider pizza. As you might recall, that was the pie in which The Hut hid the cheese inside. Says Ween: Earlier in 2002 we were hired by the largest advertising firm in the country to write music for a Pizza Hut commercial. Pizza Hut had hired them to come up with a whole new image to promote their new Pizza, "The Insider" which had all the cheese inside the crust. In keeping...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network.
