I just had a slice of Ian's mac & cheese pizza (Chicago location) on a whim today. I've been in love with this slice since I was in college and would make the trip from the University of Minnesota to Madison, it was my one requirement while visiting. Also, you definitely do not need to be drunk to enjoy this slice, it's amazing in any mind state.

Also, check out http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/ as the mac and cheese pizza is featured there today, 7/6/09. This slice is definitely worth the calories!

Yet another example of neighborhood rename. Back in the 60's and 70's there was no Gowanus. That section of Brooklyn was simply known as South Brooklyn. And if you don't believe me, check out Jimmy Breslin's "The Gang at Couldn't Shoot Straight" (book or film) in whic much of the story took place in that neighborhood. You'll find no reference to Gowanus, other than it being the name of what was the world's dirtiest canal.

Ate there a couple of years ago. The pizza wasn't anything special. Maybe it's great pizza in Phoenix, but only ordinary for NY.

let's forget about simon for the time being, he's no more than a substandard rabble rouser and has nothing of importance to contribute to our PIE-alogue. i do want to thank all my g's out there who stepped up, though. for my next trick, i'm takin my game to intergalactic levels and introducing the first of many episodes of....SLICEWARS!!!

stay tuned, brodies!

rofl, Simon tries to insult people from NJ, and posts a bunch of pictures of people from Staten Island, NY.

Sometimes people ask me which is the best restaurant I ever visited. Depending on the day or my mood I may answer the French Laundry or Manresa or even Komi in DC.
Rarely but sometimes someone will ask which was the most memorable.
Without hesitation that would be Pizzeria Bianco. Pizza?? You got to be kidding... I've gotten some strange looks when I respond yes pizza.
Maybe it is the electric atmosphere that sets it over the top as DJ Bubbles states in his review. But regardless of whatever it is Chris Bianco has created a extremely unique and rare restaurant that stands at the top of my list.

As someone who went with Robyn to Pepe's, Sally's, and Modern Pizza in one day, only to go to Pizzeria Bianco for my first meal when I arrived home in Phoenix after graduating college 8 days later, I have to say that Pizzeria Bianco still trumps anything I had during my four years in New Haven.

DJ Bubbles adds to his legacy with another tape measure homerun in Phoenix. Funny, well researched, good photos and very knowledgable about pizza napoletana. As much as I would like to sample Bianco, I think I will save a thousand and merely saunter up to another Bubbles favorite - Patsy's in East Harlem and enjoy a plain or Margherita pie. Thanks again, Bubbles and I look forward to your first trip to New Haven for the ultimate double dip at Frank Pepe's and Sally's Apizza. By the way, how did Simon Cowell get on this site and your cousin looks a hell of a lot like Corey Feldman !

yippie !!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm going to Phoenix this weekend!!!!!! chompchompchomp..

I think that the bacon should complement the whole pizza. If you are going to put bacon on the pizza, you should also put on smoked ham and smoked cheese (such as cheddar or gouda). Pizza Inn used to do a pizza similar to what I described and it was called The Hog Wild.

One of my favorite pizza combos is bacon, mushrooms and onions. It's beautiful.

Bacon has always been my favorite topping on pizza, the accent topping changing to fit my mood, whether it be green pepper, onion, or pineapple. I admit I am also a fan of gorgonzola and asian pear on pizza, from the California Pizza Kitchen (woefully, no longer on the menu).

Bacon on pizza typically looks like this.
