"slice NY" news and stories

Slice NY went to the New York Pizza Show and got to try what the makers would like to call the gold standard in pizza: a pizza with gold leaf as one of the toppings! According to what Adam wrote on the flickr page for the picture of the pizza that comes from Spain, the pizza was "great. The crust, sauce, cheese distro. Everything. The only complaint I had was that it had gold leaf on it, which is more gimmick than anything." Gold leaf has no flavor and doesn't get absorbed into the body (no calories!), so Adam goes on to say "have some valuable poop soon."

If you thought deep-frying Coca Cola was crazy, think again. And if you thought it was only Texas that will deep-fry anything, think again, again. Adam of Slice NY visits the Atliantic ChipShop in Brooklyn New York to get a taste of deep-fried pizza. According to Adam, the deep-fried pizzas "taste like a combination of a pizza roll and a mozzarella stick," but however he describes it, it only sounds...delicious. The photo here is fabulous, of course, but if you still want more, head over to Slice to take a peek at their video.

 Slice NY, the blog that revolves around pizza, has featured an excerpt from Ed Levine's Pizza: A Slice of Heaven. This particular excerpt concerns the existence of the pizza belt, that swath of America along which the first and best pizzas in the country originated. Essentially, the "belt" seems to have spread along patterns of southern Italian immigrants, coming into Ellis Island in New York and gradually spreading over towards Boston. Stretching over a 33 year period, the American pizza timeline clearly shows the launch of some of the mainstays of pizza-dom. Slice also has a textual account of the history of pizza in America, contributed by Mr. Levine.
