My Pie Monday always gets me drooling! Nice line-up again! Keep up the good work pizza-heads!

Gigino Trattoria, Tribeca, NYC

New York Quintessentials: 12 Classic Pizza Joints You Should Know

PommeDG is it because the current Lombardi's product isn't O.G. (regardless of the oven) while Patsy's is still kicking it old school? I'm not sure, but just throwing that out there for those in the know to respond to.

New Haven Plain Pizza Recipe?

sauce should always go on uncooked IMO. and it should be kept simple as well. pizzamaking.com discussion mostly revolves around dough/crust (then again, so does good pizza, bc without a good crust, the rest is moot), but they get into everything pizza there, including sauce. not a better site out there regarding pizza, anywhere.

New York Quintessentials: 12 Classic Pizza Joints You Should Know

Pauligee, I'll second the Pizza Wagon in Bay Ridge. Whenever my wife spends too much time in Century 21, I run on over for 2 slices. No frills, but definitely a quintessential NY slice.

Having lived in Jersey and Brooklyn for my first 3+ decades, and now removed far, far, away in pizza-barren land (well good pizza at least)... pics of these pies has home calling me, loud and proud!

My Pie Monday: Porchetta, Cherries, Turnips, and More!

@Norma, thanks for the props!

These pies look delicious! I'm humbled to have my pie amongst this week's group; those are some seriously bad@$$ creations you guys/gals are pumping out of your kitchens! Super stoked to be thrown in the mix with you all.

Keep up the good work folks. Truly inspired to see your work (just wish I could taste the results too!!!).

@Tscarborough... I've known more than a few joints that deliver although there are plenty that don't. That said, it's NYC.... if I want pizza, I'm delivering my own @$$ a couple of blocks if I'm jonesen for a slice or four.

I only clicked on this to write exactly what amyscoop wrote. Why... why would anyone order Domino's in the mecca of slice, that is NYC. WHY? Far removed my NYC haunts, I still wouldn't order dominoes. Instead I learned how to make pizza! Man...

My Pie Monday: Fiddleheads, Sambuca, Youngstown Sicilian and More!

that's a solid lineup! great work!

Poll: What's Your Favorite Square Slice?

L&B... I have dreams of your squares... that I'm miniaturized like in "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" and I'm lost in your essence... no way out, but not looking for an exit.

Nunzio's Pizza Long Branch, NJ

I love Tuzzio's! Never been to Tony's though. I asked my old man about it and he said he like's Tony's as well, it's just that he has bonded with the folks from Nunzio's over the years and feels a bit of an allegiance to the place. Anyhow, I convinced him to give it a go again. I'll do the same the next time I visit my family in Jersey.

BTW, if you want a really solid, simple pizza, check out Attilio's on Monmouth Road in Oakhurst (just a bit south of the 7-11 in a small strip mall). We have been going to them for years. The place is owned by 2 brothers from Naples and boy do they make a great pie! Their marinara square (no cheese) is amazing, as is their white pie with tomato slices and ricotta. Of course, you can't go wrong with a plain ole cheese as well! Give them a try. Great guys too!

Kelly, take the next step and start learning how to make pies of your own!!! If you ever find yourself in a land of pizza sadness (and they do exist) you'll be glad you learned the ways of the pizza masters. I dig ya pizza chick!

Daily Slice: Decent Wood-Fired Pies at Toby's Public House

The Toby's location that is.

Not sure I would call this Sunset Park. Definitely South Park Slope though (north of Greenwood).

Daily Slice: John's in Elmhurst, the Sicilian

Squares are up to 2.60 a slice now? Hmm, looks good, but I can find some damn good Sicilian slices in NYC for 2.25 still... L&B anyone?

Gigino Trattoria, Tribeca, NYC

Has anyone tried this place on Greenwich yet? They have a wood burning oven right up front in the place and some of the pies they were slinging in there looked pretty good. I was there this past summer with my wife's family (who insisted on treating). No one wanted pizza (crazy right?), except me (and very much so), but despite my pleas, I couldn't convince anyone at the table to give it a go (and all were on this "let's share every dish vibe").

Anyways, I gave up after 15 minutes of continuously remarking on how good it looked, the oven looked legit, and it's not your everyday pie but something to give a go. (Out of towners responded with "we didn't come to this nice restaurant for pizza." Ok... time to sulk...) So, now I have no idea what it tastes like but kick myself in the butt for not ordering a pie to go, even if it would have caused an in-law uproar. I'm not living in NYC anymore, so I have to wait until the summer to try!

Wondering if any of you Slicers have made your way over there to try the pizza. Their pasta dishes were pretty darn good, so they're worth the visit. Maybe a review is in order? Would love to hear more about it.

Nunzio's Pizza Long Branch, NJ

Hey guys, have any of you ever been to Nunzio's in Long Branch? They've been open since 1953 and they serve one of the best pies I've ever had... and I lived in Brooklyn for a while. As a kid my old man took me to Nunzio's... and before that he was going there as a 20something. He's from the Newark/Bloomfield area and he knows a good slice when he finds one as well. Anyhow, I'd love to see a feature on them. If I were in the area, I'd go take pics and write an article, but I'm no where close. The place has been ran by the same family since the beginning... even the same waitress with the long hair runs the dining room. Holla back if anyone has tried out this hidden gem!!! And go if you haven't! Ciao!
