That upskirt is a thing of beauty. I want some right now.

@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,

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.

Thank you all for your very kind words. Reading all your comments this evening has been a very gratifying experience. I hope I can live up to you expectations. And as far as opening goes, please be patient. We're talkin' NYC and all of the red tape that goes along with it. However, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. As important as the pizza is, the atmosphere I hope to create is equally critical. I have already interviewed a bunch of really great people from North Brooklyn. Although the pies are gonna be mine, the restaurant is gonna be theirs. I know that they are going to make everyone feel very comfortable.
Thanks again,

Roberta's the 'Best Naples-Style Pizza'? Really, Village Voice?
@seriouspizza I'm going to do my best to avoid such occurrences, but I'm sure they will be impossible to dodge completely. When those times do come, I will do my best to betray my Brooklyn instincts by channeling the Slicemeister.

Roberta's the 'Best Naples-Style Pizza'? Really, Village Voice?
The most important judgement is now in and Roberta's stands at the pinnacle of pizzadom. As part of Sean Taylor's annual celebration of National Pizza Month, he has awarded them a perfect five pies. Check it out at www.31daysofpizza.com . While you are there, be sure to check out Day 3.

@Slicemeister You have a talent for handling criticism with class and restraint. You obviously didn't grow up in Brooklyn.

Please tell Chris that I will be forever grateful for the time he spent with Michael and I, as well as for his generous hospitality. And also tell him that as he suggested, I will be sure to pay it forward.

Jim Lahey Pontificates on Pizza
I like Jim's global pizza philosophy. It opens up the pies to so many possibilities. And from what I've seen he hasn't let those possibilities get out of hand.

I did, but I ain't talkin'. You'll have to come up and ask them. You are the Mad Pizza Scientist Pblogger. As far as the crispness goes, I enjoyed the pies that came out a little later. They were more well done.

"Pieman's Craft, 10/11: Full house. Great crowd." What was the 10th, chopped liver???. And I didn't even know dessert was served until I saw someone else's shot from Sunday. Did we even get dessert?
All of your portrait shots are great Slicemeister. We need one of you.
Mathieu's Fillti is a very nice tribute to UPN. And his Sopressata Picante is THE best in the city.
Great event. Thanks. Just make sure I get dessert next year.

Top 10 Sandwiches in Brooklyn
I went to Brooklyn (omg, really? I am in NYC???) with the love of my life and he brought me to Brennan and Carr and I thought I had died and went to heaven... I still tell everyone about that Roast Beef sandwich!

@seriouspizza: Not yet, but they are very close. A couple of red tape delays. Should be good to go in two weeks. Hopefully.

congrats paulie G! i'll be sure to hit it up. can i bring my camera?
Portland, Oregon: Apizza Scholls
the last time i was at scholls was in march. i had a barfday gathering. we had a reservation, but still ended up waiting for a little over an hour, which given the circumstances wasn't so bad—our group ballooned from 9 people to about 16, which was technically over the limit for a reservation. the servers seemed somewhat nonplussed by the size of the group, especially since the place was already jam-packed with customers. the pizza was great though.
the waits are somewhat prohibitive on the weekends though, and i haven't actually been back since then... which i am ashamed of... this will have to be remedied.
Portland, Oregon: Apizza Scholls
While on vacation in Portland last June, I ate dinner at Apizza Scholls with a few friends. After reading Ed Levine's review, it was a must try. The pizza was delicious, but I was even more impressed with the ownership. Brian and I had a brief conversation about pizza and his place before we got seated. Then, while we were finishing our meal, he stopped by our table and talked pizza for another 15 minutes. Easy to see that he loves making pizza and really cares about putting out a quality product. Wish we had an Apizza Scholls in Pittsburgh.

You are some lucky SOBs in Greenpoint.....although luck had nothing to do with it.

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!

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!
