'New York Post' on Di Fara's $5 Slices
After 6 years in NY i finally went to Di Fara for first time this past thursday. Adam, I actually saw you walking by as I was getting dropped off at 5th and Union and thought to offer you one of my left over slices but by the time i got out the car you were already down the street. As for the pizza, we dropped over $140 there that night between 5 of us and it was worth every penny

i used to drink these all the time when i lived in Thessaloniki. I just used an empty small water bottle as the shaker and it worked fine

@Adam: but even then, you're just cutting the slices, not so much eating them with a knife and fork

Tap'd NY, New York City's Bottled Tap Water
I don't get why people hate this product so much. Sometimes you need portable water, and isn't it better to use water from Brooklyn than water from Maine or Fiji?
Salumeria Rosi Open (Sort Of)
i don't wanna be 'that guy' but based on the sign, it's Salumeria Rosi, not Rossi
Openings: La Pizzetta on Atlantic Avenue
Went here last night with some friends. It was pretty good, and at only $9.50 for a margherita, and a 5 min walk from my apartment, I'll definitely be going back soon.
They actually have wood in the oven, but from the looks of it there's also gas lines in the back.

Dear Slice: Where Can I Get Good Early-Morning Pizza?
grandaisy (http://grandaisybakery.com/) opens at 7, though i think I like sullivan st better

Dear Slice: Where Can I Get Good Early-Morning Pizza?
the 99c slice place on 43rd st is open in the morning. before moving to a different office building i got into a bad habit of stopping there for breakfast
99-Cent Fresh Pizza Line
yeah, it's often undercooked, but if you ask for it well done, you'll still be out quicker than waiting in that line
99-Cent Fresh Pizza Line
There's a deli just around the corner on 3rd ave between 43rd and 44th that also sells 99c slices
Pizza Madness 2009: Los Angeles — Pizzeria Mozza and Antica Pizzeria
@egadman: Yeah. For some reason lately, I've been seeing a lot of chatter about the interrobang on Twitter.
Pizza Madness 2009: Los Angeles — Pizzeria Mozza and Antica Pizzeria
interrobang‽ what‽ greatest. punctuation. mark. ever.
Pizza Madness 2009: Los Angeles — Pizzeria Mozza and Antica Pizzeria
Hey, passion4pizza, when youre in LA feel free to contact me for any pizza info...MMMM..i think im goin to Antica right about now!
Pizza Madness 2009: Los Angeles — Pizzeria Mozza and Antica Pizzeria
I also didn't know to get my pizza well-done at Antica. I will have to try that next time. Fanks!
Pizza Madness 2009: Los Angeles — Pizzeria Mozza and Antica Pizzeria
Antica is better than Mozza. It's easer to get into, the atmosphere is far more relaxed and, more importantly, the pizza is better.
Pizza Madness 2009: Los Angeles — Pizzeria Mozza and Antica Pizzeria
Hey AK, it was a blast! A 2 pizzeria day is always special...my pleasure providing the taxi service..youd still be on a bus if you had to get to the Marina from BH...Yeah, that cornicine at Mozza is crazy...and yes, i like the Mozza 2 Go when you have the urge but have no res...
Pizza Madness 2009: Los Angeles — Pizzeria Mozza and Antica Pizzeria
Mozza has got a to go arm now that let's you taste their pizza w/o all the madness and waiting. I think it's the way to go.
Pizza Madness 2009: Los Angeles — Pizzeria Mozza and Antica Pizzeria
Thank you, thank you for this review! Lil and I will be living in Huntington Beach, CA for the month of January, and even though Antica is about an hour away and Mozza even more, I really needed to know that we'll be able to find some decent pizza somewhere. When we lived in L.A. in the eighties, there was nada.
We should probably hook up with pizzafreak and L.A. Pizza Maven before we travel...
Pizza Madness 2009: Los Angeles — Pizzeria Mozza and Antica Pizzeria
Good review. As far as I am concerned, these 2 pizzerias are the only 2 in LA worth going to, and Antica is a looong drive for me. I don't go to any slice place here. One of the chowhounders here put it rather well when he said that Vito's which is one of the rave slice places here, would be just another decent slice place in NYC. I go to Mozza regularly, sit at the pizza bar, and love to watch the brigade assemble the pies, put them in the oven, and then watch the pizzaola do her thing. I may be wrong about this, but before the Osteria opened, Nancy Silverton was the pizzaola, and I think the pies were better then than they are now. If you want some company when you go to Phoenix, let me know. I fly in and join you. I'm looking forward to eating PB's pies, and if you want to do a Phoenix run similar to your West Coast adventures, I'm game for that also.

Gotcha. I just thought I had heard somewhere that neapolitan pizza gets soupy in the middle and can't be eaten like a normal pizza. Those pictures looked like it might be that style.
Whatever it is, they both look good.

Congrats from London, England. Hopefully next time I'm in NY you'll have opened successfully and started serving some of your beautiful pies.

My family and I will welcome you to the hood by coming at least once a month. Looking forward to some decent competition to Motorino and Fornino and one that's within walking distance from us!

Wonderful news indeed.
You are some lucky SOBs in Greenpoint.....although luck had nothing to do with it.
Paulie, you know where my feelings are, but congratulations again on a dream come true. Now, make sure the pie is on point when I come up there! :)

'New York Post' on Di Fara's $5 Slices
@gabagool: Welcome back. Haven't seen you in a while. The size of a Di Fara slice is 1/8th of a pie about (from memory and without the benefit of ever having measured it) 16 inches, maybe 18 inches, across.
'New York Post' on Di Fara's $5 Slices
5 bucks for a slice of "the best pizza in the world" (opinion)
or 8 bucks for a 5 oz glass of wine? The 5 seems like a bargain to me.
It all boils down to two types of people. You either want quality or quanity.
PS Plus whats the size of a slice in NY? That would make a big difference. Is it a quarter of an 18" pie? IF so, that ain't bad at all.
Snapshots from Greece: Nescafe Frappe
I have to disagree with your love of Nescafe frappe foam! I was in Greece last August, and as much as I wanted to enjoy it as a nice cool beverage (in the 105 degree heat), I could not get past the instant coffee bitterness floating in the puffy bathtub foam. I contented myself with old-school Greek coffee (same as Turkish). Not refreshing, but still delicious and cafeinated!

@alberto I was not able to do the one day fermentation because I had to go right from work to Lucali before attending a concert in Prospect Park so I had to make the dough on Thursday night. Here are the results:
