A cute comic strip

@Leo_G: The OP, Rincewind, says "...but today's pizza-related one is extra good!" And this is posted under the pizza category here. I assumed the link was going to go to a pizza-related comic. It didn't. :(

Astoria, Queens: Via Trenta Osteria & Wine Bar

That's a good call, JW. I wish my pics were better and showed the pies better. It was dark in there.

It's Delifina-ish -- maybe not as much rise at the rim as Delfina. It's pretty flat at the rim, and the crust is very dry. Not crackery, because it's still flexible and foldable, but it's not moist like a higher hydration dough would have.

It is solid pizza. And a good neighborhood spot. But maybe not one that I would travel interborough for.

I couldn't find the pizza-related one. Do you have a link to that? All I see is one about C&H and dinosaurs.

Taste Test: Orange Juice, the Pulp-Free Edition

Thanks for that link, DoubleMan. I pretty much stopped drinking packaged OJ after reading that last year. When I do drink it now, I get it fresh-squeezed.

This is something you don't want on a pizza

And, yeah, those Pizza Prints things have been circulating on the internets as of late. Someone even mentioned them in early January - http://www.seriouseats.com/talk/2012/01/graphics-for-pizza.html

They've been around a while. They're supposed to taste like Parmesan. I tried to get a pizza with one on it here in NYC, but all the places that are supposed to have them were out of them -- or didn't even know what I was talking about.

I think it would be cool to be able to get custom ones to do what Meat Guy said, but right now they only seem to have special-occasion ones and teams.

From Talk

Hahahahah, Meatguy. That would be an Inception Pizza ... I think. I haven't seen Inception, but I think I know enough about it to make that joke.

Pittsburgh-style pizza: is this accurate?

"how DID I miss that in the regional styles post?!?"

@ayersian: That's what I'm saying! Since we take every opportunity to hit Slice'rs over the head with that post. ;)

What healthytouch101 said. Seems a lot like Ohio Valley style. Not surprising since the regions are relatively close.

@hawk: I've yet to try Old Forge. Everyone who knows me and has had it says I probably wouldn't like it, but I've got to make the damn trip there at some point.

From Behind the Bar: On Running Two Bars

What Maggie said. A lot of New Yorkers *are* preprogrammed to avoid TS for anything other than necessity. I'm happy to see things like Rum House opening there, since I work nearby. It's nice not to have to leave the neighborhood for afterwork drinks.

Cheeseburger and Fries Pizza: The Sober Truth About This Drunkard's Slice

OMG. I miss checking Slice for one day, and come back to find this!?!? Meredith ... NOOOOOOOOO! You should have said something before you went and tried french fry pizza! I could have thrown you a life preserver. Thanks for taking one for the team.

I don't know why french fries don't work on a pizza but mashed potatoes do ... maybe the bacon on most mashed potato/baked potato pizza saves it.

I kinda love the ketchup zig-zag.

New York Penn Station

NY Pizza Suprema, Eighth Avenue near 31st or so. That's your best bet OUTSIDE and nearby. Inside ... ugh. Dunno. I try to bring something with me for the train ride rather than eat at any of those time-warp restaurants inside.

Tipping for Carry Out?

+1 on Redfish & NomNomNikki's take. And hsryan's. I tip a buck or two on take-out at a restaurant. Like hsryan said, they tend to remember you then, because almost nobody does it. I've gotten freebies here and there from the places I go to most often.

Daily Slice: John's in Elmhurst, the Sicilian

Oh, man. This is crazy. John's IS having a moment. I have to say, the Sicilian looked good, and different from most, but the night I visited (around 8 on a Sunday) it was slow, and it also looked like it had been sitting a while. Figured I'd be back in the neighborhood soon enough and left it for another trip.

I wish you *would* have described the interior. I just made passing reference to it, but it deserves a slideshow on its own. It truly is a trip back in time in the best of ways. Not dingy or run-down, just well cared-for but of a certain era.

Happy National Pie Day: Our 10 Favorite Pie Recipes

Why not actually be serious f***ing eaters and just celebrate whatever your favorite food is in your heart all times of the year. Like post-ghost Scrooge.

What a coincidence! Shalom's Kosher Pizza in Midwood is on my "before I leave NYC" bucket list, too! ;)

But seriously ... wait ... the SAME lobster for a MONTH? WTH. That's crazy.

From Slice

Daily Slice: John's Pizzeria, Elmhurst, Queens

@FMFats: It seems to have closed. The only references to it online are threads in which people seem to reminisce about it. If it were there, it would show up on Yelp or Chowhound or somewhere else.
