Living in Texas,as I do. I must say, this is a new one. And with my favorite comfort food (besides sandwiches,which are a form of pizza anyway, or is it visa versa,debate, debate!!) It is visually appealing, and from the report, after school reminiscent. Being part Scot, also, most play into this hedonism. Get in my belly, things that my body can not easily break down to use, but that my taste buds will enjoy!

I live in Brooklyn Heights, and around the corner there's a place The Chip Shop which seems to specialize in all things deep fried. They recently added a deep fried pizza offering to their menu. Checking it out with a couple buddies of mine I have to say it was positively atrocious. The pizza just didn't hold up to the process, ending up mushy and tasteless.

I'm sure there's a way to do this right and I'll be first in line to taste test. But that ain't it. It's the first thing I've had there that's not quite spectacular.

Anyone know of someplace in nyc that does this right?

I live in downtown Brooklyn. After seeing the Slice video, I ate there this weekend. It looks a lot more substantial in the picture than it is in real life.

The batter is really light and gives it an entirely different flavor from regular pizza, esp if sprinkled with some malt vinegar. I didn't think it reminded me of either mozzarella sticks or pizza pockets. The texture was closer to fried breaded eggplant, with a regular cheese slice being the ersatz eggplant.

Definitely recommended!

The slice could certainly use some more quality, but the end result was different enough from pizza that this complaint is moot.

Definitely recommended!

Why would someone from Brooklyn deep fry a pizza? Hey, why not? Remember, Chip Shop is the same place that invented the deep fried Twinkie. They make *outstanding* fish & chips, too.
