Di Fara Raising Slice Prices to $5; Will Close Tuesdays in Addition to Mondays
@Pizzablogger Don't get me wrong. More power to Dom for making the best of his modest enterprise. It's, after all, what makes America and, more so, Brooklyn great. Di Fara's is on my bucket list none the less.
@Paulie Gee: I stand corrected but I'm still heading to Midwood.
Is It a 'Plain' Slice, a 'Regular' Slice, or Something Else Entirely?
I had a pizza party recently and had one diner ask for no cheese due to her being lactose intolerant/vegan. So, I ordered an entire pie w/o cheese but with 'shrooms and peppers. I've come to realize she and others with her dietary requirements don't have the luxury of a slice, plain nor otherwise unless specifically ordered. Are there pizza parlors that offer slices w/o cheese in the city?
Di Fara Raising Slice Prices to $5; Will Close Tuesdays in Addition to Mondays
I have yet tried Di Fara's, but you bet he'll get what he's asking for. Now that the G train is going to his neighborhood, crowds are gonna get stiffer. He's making bank. I'll stick with Nick's in Forest Hills.

Now that you're in the Big League, @Paulie_Gee; guess you'll have to retire the commentator hat behind the broadcast booth and suit up for the game. Buono fortuna! Looking for my first slice :)

How to Make a 3-D Paper Taco Truck
Finally, toys without lead-based paint! Add a dollop of sour cream for good measure.
Quote of the Day: 'Street Pizza Eaters Are Pigs'
Apparently a tourist...
Is Street Food the New Bacon?
As Papa Hemingway said of Paris, could be said of NYC and SoCal. It's always "A Movable Feast" with the help of twitter.
New Wafles & Dinges Truck Will Return on Thursday
I'm on the lookout on @twitter. Tried one on Bwy and 62nd on Memorial Day and it was delish.
Off the Beaten Path: Java Village, an Indonesian Epiphany in Elmhurst
Not really off the beaten path but rather off the Grand Ave station. The really neat part is is open 'til 1am. Most meals under 6 bucks. Delivery available. If only they @twitter'd.
Indonesian ingredients?
You also can go to Topline grocery on Broadway in Elmhurst. Take the R,V,G to the Elmhurst Ave stop go leave the station on the north side and your there! Plenty of provisions and, if your peckish, you can vist the restaurants Minangasli or Mie Jakarta on Whitney Ave. a few blocks south near the LIRR.
The price of rice - not so nice!
Get used to the "new normal". While increased affluence is rising in India, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and even in Sub-Saharan Africa leading to increased consumption, we'll see price spikes in not only rice but also cooking oils, ie canola, peanut, etc. as well as increased energy costs in production and transportation. As farms of yesteryears here in the US made way for suburban development are now mired in the sub-prime mortgage crisis, our government is flat-footed in the race to create the second "green revolution" lest they lead us to a near perfect storm of the future. Watch SOYLENT GREEN and prepare.
Why Can't You Get a Good Slice Outside New York City? 'Wired' Magazine Says It's the Water
My, my...it takes more than H2O to make good pizza. It's takes the embodiment of beliefs and soul to create magic and mozarella. The alchemy of alimentary proportions. IMHO, it boils down to these simple rules - high turnover = more production by the pizza man, seasoned ovens = better flavor and product, and lastly, NYC Dept of Health codes = everyones' on their toes, including Mr. D of Midwood. Guess who's favorite dishes are these inspectors lingering over?

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! :)

SPECTACULAR news! This is going to be a prime destination. I can't wait!!

@captpizza Thanks for the good wishes. As far as ruining things goes, I'm taking a different view of it. I've been doing what I don't even like for 30 years just to earn a living. Now it's time to do what I love. All the complications in the world can't take away the feeling I get when everything goes right and I get to watch people dig into a good looking, tasty pie. Go find the picture I think Adam took of me gazing at one of my pies as I pull it out of the oven and head inside to serve it. As long as I keep focused on getting that result, the other stuff that gets thrown in front of me will be worth putting up with. And now I get the added pleasure of putting a place together for people to come and enjoy. Through my interviews, I have already met a small army of people from North Brooklyn who I can sense have a real excitement about what we'll hopefully create for everyone to enjoy. And all the red tape in the world can never take away from all of those kick ass comments just above this one.
Thanks again,
Paulie Gee

Congratulations Paulie.
Can't wait for a chance to sample one of your pies.

Paulie- If you want to ruin the thing you love- try to make a living doing it! I wish you the best of luck
Openings: Paulie Gee's, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Thanks and don't worry P4P. I'm planning on still being around in February. Looking forward to having you and Lillian stop in.
And thanks again to all of you who have been kind enough to leave me good wishes.

Paulie, we are excited beyond belief at this news! MAZEL TOV!
Ohboy - we'll finally get to taste those Paulie Gee pizzas, and without going to Joisey...
Hope you can open up before December - Lil and I are going to the west coast for December and January. Either way, Greenpoint Avenue is on our agenda, and we expect to be regulars.

Congratulations!! The pie list looks fantastic--both unfussy and delicious. Will you be serving some of that homemade limoncello there as well?
Openings: Paulie Gee's, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Paulie! Congratulazioni and buon appetito! I'll be there opening night to walk the red (white and green) carpet and grab a pie or two. Let me know if you need any help!
Openings: Paulie Gee's, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Paulie!
Forget about having an opening night. I think you will need to have an opening week. Book me for 7:00pm a table of 8 for the entire week! Also, the first Friday of every month for the first year!
Congrats, Paulie! I can’t wait!
