Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani to Open NYC Restaurant, Pizza School
Anyone else think it's odd that they're planning on opening up directly across the street from John's?

Ian's Pizza: Built for Drunk College Students, But Good Enough for the Rest of Us
This story is very close to true but the guys were hanging out in Amherst, Mass. and after they finished treating their glaucoma, they opened a place called Antonio's. The people who opened Ian's actually worked at Antonio's in Amherst before decamping to the mid-west.
Why don't we have a slice shop like this in New York?!?!

Sounds very similar to the chain Peace a Pizza down here around Philly. Also kind of caters to the college crowd and has similar pie choices, including (my fav) the mac & cheese! :)

Ian's rules. As a former badger, I've got to attest to the amazingness of the grilled veggie slice!

@akatkin- I was just going to mention Antonio's! Even though the first one and only one I've been to is the one in Providence, RI although I've seen the one in Amherst. I prefer New York pizza though...the toppings at Antonio's are good but they can't really compare to a fresh baked New York pizza.

Hey Simon, That comment is not appropriate.
You can't just throw out Camorra like that.
These guys are good people and Camorra wouldn't even agree with your association. You certainly wouldn't say that about another racial group for fear of serious retribution. But you are stepping in dangerous waters with Camorra. This isn't the movies or the NY times. they don't play around.

I live on Cornelia, so I am eagerly awaiting the pizza that comes from here. There is a huge photo posted in their window of two flour covered hands cradling an authentic, mouth-watering pie the likes I have never seen outside of Italy.
We had it good here before with Bleecker St. Pizza, John's, and Joe's all within a couple blocks of each other. I don't know if I have just gotten jaded, but the slices at these places haven't been satisfying me as much. Bleecker St. makes their Nonna too soggy and the crust is like a cracker. Joe's regular slice is decent, but the margherita lacks character.
I am excited to be excited about pizza again! I can't wait for them to open up classes to the public. I will be first in line.

The ignorance and stupidty in Simon message does not even deserve a serious answer.

Wow ... Finally !!!!
Roberto I'm so happy you're back in the game ...and few blocks away from my apartment ... I still can't believe I use to come all the way to Ridgewood, NJ and now your pizza will be few blocks away from my apartment ...
In regard to the question NY pizza or Neapolitan Pizza, I agree they are two differerent things. There are good and bad NY Pizza as there are good and bad Neapolitan Pizza. they are just two different things!
It's like coffe. There is Regular Coffe and Espresso.
They are both coffee and they both can be good, but they are two different things.

Gianluca, Considering your indictment of pizza in America, I'm surprised you lowered your standards and drug yourself over here to read this blog.

Roberto: To echo Adam, the FBI was a joke as well. Thanks for the clarification. And I agree about the good work, as evidenced by the great job you did getting A.Mano off the ground.
Ciao,

@akatkin: Sort of odd, but sort of not. Neapolitan and NYC coal-oven are totally different beasts. If you had a hankering for one style on a given night, I don't think the other style would be an acceptable alternative.
