'Best Hunger-Inducing Website'
Slice turns 2 today, and what nicer way to start our second year than with a birthday present of sorts from the Village Voice. We were named Best Hunger-Inducing Website in the weekly's annual Best of New York section. Aw, shucks. While I humbly confess there are people in New York who know more about pizza than I do, I'm just happy the Voice saw fit to give us some props. Thanks, Voice!...Blog On
Not to be outdone by the Post, the New York Daily News has two items on pizza today. The first is about Brooklyn-style-pizzeria owner Todd Duvio's effort to rebuild his New Orleans restaurant and his blog detailing it. Slice had this story last week, but it's good to see Mr. Duvio getting some wider press. We're hopeful that Brooklyn memorabilia will start moving his way. The second item mentions Slice: Mutz to you If you've still got pizza on your mind, it's time for a visit to the city's own pizza blog, Slice (sliceny.com). Its slogan: "Crusty, Saucy, Cheesy." Although...Slice on NY1
If you live in New York City, subscribe to Time-Warner Cable, and have a high tolerance for hot air, you can tune to NY1 between 6 and 7 p.m. tonight or tomorrow to catch this site's editor & publisher on the air. NY1, for those non–New Yorkers reading this, is like a CNN for the Big Apple. The all–New York-all-the-time channel will air a segment on Google Maps mash-ups in which I appear blabbing about how neat the tool is. Slice, of course, uses the function in our recently released Slice Pizza Map, which plots all the pizzerias that...Roll Tape
Almost a year ago, this site's editor and publisher, Adam K. (that's me), was called upon to serve as a judge in the annual Best of Long Island Pizza Contest. Contest organizers told me that the judges would be sampling 25 slices of pizza—five pizzerias competing in five categories. They told me that the Food Network would be there, taping for the show All American Festivals. They also told me not to eat breakfast. This site's roving reporter, E-Rock, joined me on the journey to Farmingdale (that's who I'm consulting with in the screen capture at right), and our...piPod in the Post
Well, I didn't see this until today, but I guess our handy little invention that goes by the name of piPod was featured in the New York Post on Sunday. Oy: We really need to do some updating to our piPod database. From the story: "I used to keep all my to-try information on Post-it notes," says Adam Kuban, 30, inventor of the piPod, a free program at piPodNY.com that gives mini-reviews of several dozen pizza places in the five boroughs. Since it was put online last summer, it's been downloaded by 1,300 pizza-lovers. "I started putting pizza-location info onto...Pizza Dorks in Newsday
A CUT ABOVE: Newsday ran a story yesterday tied to the release of Ed Levine's new book, Pizza: A Slice of Heaven (right). Headlined The Best Pizza, it featured pizza connoisseurs (above, clockwise from left) Audrey Aponte, Sam Kinsey, Geof Grayson, and Slice editor in chief Adam K. Pictured here at Peperoncino, in Park Slope, Brooklyn, these slice aficionados discuss the merits of a Friday evening dinner. So, one of Slice's favorite food writers, Ed Levine, wrote a book. His book's about pizza. No surprise there: Mr. Levine is a huge pizza fan. Long Island's paper of record, Newsday,...DeMarco's in the 'New Yorker'
It's an embarrassment of riches today in terms of DeMarco's reviews. It was brought to our attention this morning by friend and Slice reader J.J.J. that the New Yorker features DeMarco's in its Tables for Two column this week. It seems you either love DeMarco's or hate it, and the New Yorker seems to love it. And speaking of love, Slice loves that fact that we get a passing mention in the review: Over the past few months, nervous anticipation has characterized discussions among pizza fiends about the quasi-expansion of Brooklyn’s legendary Di Fara’s into Manhattan. To begin with,...From Sacto, Northern Cal: Slice In The Sacramento Bee
Last night, Slice was talking about Sacramento with our HR director, H. Smith. Ms. Smith mentioned that her brother lives in Sacto, is a loyal Slice reader, and has been recommending the site to friends out that way. Could he be partly responsible, then, for the brief mention we received today in a sidebar to a story on food blogs in the Sacramento Bee*? Who knows? THE SACBEE ON SLICE Content: Though heavily tilted to the pizzerias of New York City, Slice offers leads on first-rate pizza in other cities, links to numerous pizza Web sites - who knew there...Slice in the Brooklyn Papers
A few weeks ago, a reporter from the Brooklyn Papers contacted Slice's editor and publisher, Adam K., and expressed interest in profiling yours truly for a piece in the various neighborhood-zoned editions of his publication. Why not, I thought. And so Brooklyn Paper reporter Jotham Sederstrom, photographer Greg Mango, and I met at Franny's on a cold late-2004 evening to discuss Slice's origins, goals, etc. Two weeks later, my ugly mug could be found on newsstands in laundromats, delis, and Chinese restaurants throughout parts of the BK—along with a nicely written story.
