"Which Italian is the better stallion–local eatery Vito’s Pizza or diminutive actor Danny DeVito? A question plaguing scholars for ages. Until now." Losanjealous sat down and worked out the answer, making them my heroes of the day. [via Eater LA] Previously: Danny DeVito's! Limoncello!...

From the Onion Radio News, Doyle Redland files a report on Pizza Hut's New Pizza-Lover's Pizza Topped With Smaller Pizzas. Ed and Adam are positively quivering with excitement. [via Gulfstream]...

Bruni also failed to mention the place mats at Mozza. One is an attempt to teach the unwitting Mozza customer how to speak Italian in seven not-so-easy hand motions, as this video shows....

Frank Bruni weighs in on the Mozza phenomenon today, but he's just a little late to the party. Serious Eats was on it in January. I do appreciate the butterscotch budino recipe, which is one of the best desserts I have had in years. If you do go to Mozza, have the gelati as well for dessert. You won't be disappointed. This is Nancy Silverton's restaurant we're talking about here. She is merely (for my money at least) the greatest pastry chef in America....

Yesterday morning, Lia alerted me to the fact that Subway has started to roll out personal pizzas in a few test stores in Manhattan's East Village. The sandwich chain plans to serve the mini pies nationwide by June. Of course, I had to rush out to try it. Speaking of "rush," isn't the saying "fools rush in where angels fear to tread?" Yeah. I think it is. You can read about Subway's personal pizza on Slice, Serious Eats's pizza blog. Short take: The pizza (starting at $2.99 for cheese, pictured above) ain't so good. In other who's-serving-pizza-now news, Dunkin' Donuts is jumping on the bandwagon. Chicagoist tried out Dunkin's wares and found them overpriced: The deep dish-looking pizza has...

Down Under, Domino's mixes the classic Australian meat pie with the pizza pie: Until now, the most creative makeovers of the humble meat pie have involved stacking things on top of it. This week Domino's stacked it on something else.The Meat Pie Pizza comes with beef mince, onions, and peas topped with thick pastry and tomato sauce—and it looks about as pretty as a half-gobbled dog's eye. Crikey!...

From PRNewswire.com: Denver area pizza lovers have a 'hole' lot [Groan —Ed.] to be excited about as Einstein Bros. Bagels cooks up new pizza bagels for its hometown customers.... Einstein Bros. is now offering five Pizza Bagel flavors in 28 Front Range restaurants. When I was a kid, my sister (who was around 7 at the time) came up with this idea—using Lender's frozen bagels, some Chef Boyardee pizza sauce, and whatever mozzarella we had on hand. She submitted the idea to a local TV station's "create an afterschool snack" contest. And never heard from the station. Hey, I thought it was a great idea at the time. These days, you couldn't get me near a hybrid pizza bagel. It...

This Serious Eats stuff I've gotten myself into is a weird business. Blogging about pizza, burgers, and other food is now part of my job, so it wasn't out of the realm of the ordinary to take part of the day to go out to Di Fara Pizza, in the Midwood section of Brooklyn, New York. The joint had just reopened after having a nasty run-in with the New York City Department of Health. (I wrote about the closing on Serious Eats in mid March.) The DOH smackdown wasn't pretty. Along with minor violations like failure to wear a hat and gloves, references to mouse poop and unsanitary conditions peppered the report. But, a couple weeks of forced closure,...

Earlier this week, Serious Eats overlord Ed Levine arrived at the office with a new brand of frozen pizza he had just found. "It's a Neapolitan-style pie imported from Italy," he said. "It's supposed to be great." I had my doubts. I stopped looking for a "great" frozen pizza long ago. When it comes to an iced slice, I like it cheap, fast, and easy, with cheap being the operative word (frozen pies are always fast and easy). So Ed was toting a boxed Margherita pizza from Pelle. "Frozen pizza from Italy?" I asked. "What's the point? And, how much did it cost?"...

It might be high in antioxidants, but this pizza crust, developed at the University of Maryland, seems like it would be low in deliciousness: University of Maryland food chemists said on Monday they had found ways to enhance the antioxidant content of whole-grain wheat pizza dough by baking it longer at higher temperatures and giving the dough lots of time to rise. It actually turns out that the "higher temperatures" cited were between 400 and 550°F, which isn't all that out of the ordinary for most pizza ovens. What's interesting here is whether this effect occurs in whole-wheat pies cooked in high-heat pizzeria ovens. [via Cyrus]...
