Don't we have a great park system here in Minneapolis? I haven't encountered the pizza ninja yet, however.

Booya! Congrats! Love this feed of continual pizza news. It's the only pizza site I subscribe to. Cheers!
Slice Poll: Eat It with Morton's Fork
If I had to choose a chain pizza -- I voted Little Ceasar's. First off, Domino's I think is the worst. Pizza Hut is better but man, so greasy and that crazy flavor spray... Papa John's is notably better I think and perhaps the best on the list but man, as long as we're going chain pizza Little Ceasar's is five bucks for a pepperoni pizza in Minneapolis. Five bucks, people.

Slice Poll: Round vs. Square
The midwesterner's version of this poll:

Openings: Luzzo's Location in Westbury, Long Island
This is good news; I think Luzzo's is under-appreciated. I guess they aren't if they're opening another.

Where in Wisconsin? I'll bring wine and good conversation about pizza! http://s4xton.com/contact

Almost impossible to finish, really. They have a contest with their 30" now and then for 4 people to eat it --- only about 15% complete it.

Looks like a couple notches up from the Pizza Hut To-Go personal size pizzas in airports and mall food courts. Maybe these won't induce vomiting.

Yum. Sounds like a real mess, though.

I'm being literal when I say I eat pizza on average 6 days a week.

Las Vegas: Grimaldi's Coal Brick Oven Pizza
I was at Grimaldi's in Vegas earlier this month -- really quite surprised how great it tasted -- as well as how authentic.

What's the Longest Wait You've Had at Di Fara?
Crazy. Well, I've only been once but I guess I hit the magic time as I walked right in and got my slice without wait.

Coal Oven Alert: Black Sheep Pizza, Minneapolis
@LiveToEat: I travelled in -3F weather today to get a slice from Pino's in Woodbury, MN. We were almost the only people there and Pino complained about how cold it was and how it was keeping customers away from the slices. Cold weather means the pizza guy needs business!

@suburbangourmet: I like Cossetta's a lot. They're especially great if you're into a lot of cheese. I'll write something up on them sometime.

Thanks for the kind words!

Craving some good NY pizza right about now.
The Pieman's Craft at Una Pizza Napoletana
Ditto. Sounds like fun.

If that guy was really into pizza he wouldn't have wasted so much of it. I hope it was domino's or pizza huts. The music was great though even with the scary waste of pizza. I hope he gets the therapy he need. "LOL" I hope Heatbox produces more good music.
On Banning Photography from Restaurants
I just got back from Corton. The website asks guests to refrain from using flash photography and cell phones. I accept that gladly. You quote Drew here as saying,
"No, we're not going to stop people from taking photos," Nieporent said. "We'd just like people to be considerate of the other people in the restaurant.""
So why, when I entered, was I told that no photography was permitted. I asked nicely and was told, "no". The host asked the chef and reiterated that it was not permissible. I explained that I would not use a flash. I explained that I would not use the photos online nor for any commercial purposes. Still, my request was refused. I feel lied to based on the website only saying that "flash photography" was not permitted and also the quote here from Drew. So Drew, why is this?
The food at Corton was good but, just like Momofuku Ko, I won't be back. I see no reason to reward restaurants who don't consider my desire for a permanent memory, valid. They can make any policies they like but I still get to chose where I dine. I also chose to deal with people who advertise honestly. Drew said that, "we're not going to stop people" but that is just what they did. That to me is deceptive.
In the interest of full disclosure, the host did comp a round of drinks for us because of this. Still, it, (please, please, pardon the pun, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

October 13, 2009: Slice's Six-Year Anniversary
Slice Dude! You didn't appreciate our off-key birthday choir? Psh, good thing I didn't see you sneak in. Otherwise I would have EATEN YOUR FACE.
P.S. Birthday wishes!!
October 13, 2009: Slice's Six-Year Anniversary
Happy Birthday to Slice! Even though you're our second-favorite pizza site, you rule. Looking forward to dancing at your PizzaBarMitzvah in seven more years!

October 13, 2009: Slice's Six-Year Anniversary
Congratulations Slicedude. As much I as I enjoy many of the other pizza blogs out there, you guys are king of the hill. Trailblazers Deluxe. And Slicedude, when you see the party planners, tell them that a birthday cake that looked like a pizza might have been the better way to go.
Salute,
Paulie Gee

Slice Poll: Eat It with Morton's Fork
Having eaten all of those places I would have to say Papa John's is the best chain. There's a sweetness to their sauce that I enjoy and the toppings seem to be of better quality than those used at the other chains.
But thank God I live in NYC now and never have to eat at any of those chains again!
Slice Poll: Eat It with Morton's Fork
Well, my daughter likes Papa John's and we ordered 15 for a suprise party for her and they delivered right on time--did not spoil the surprise--and the various varieties of pizza were hot and fresh, so I voted for them. I used to like Pizza Hut because they had very thin and crisp crusts, but honestly have not tried them for years. Domino's pizza, like Fuddrucker's hamburgers, has no discernable taste whatsoever. Little Ceasar's may be $5, but down here it is 50% crust. Enough said.
Slice Poll: Eat It with Morton's Fork
Went with Papa John's as it's the only one I've never tried, and as such maintains the benefit of the doubt. :)
Slice Poll: Eat It with Morton's Fork
I voted for Pizza Hut cause they once deliverated a pizza to me during a torrential downpour.

@gianluca. I've met him once. I ask because he named Zero Otto Nove after the area code for his hometown of Salerno.

Slice Poll: Round vs. Square
Square pizza is pizza? ;)
Okay, I haven't had that much Sicilian...but in my mind, square is associated with school cafeterias and pizza parties where big pizzas are cut into little squares for tiny appetites!
Slice Poll: Round vs. Square
@jlewfoodie, Is there more than one Ledo's, or are you talking about the one on LaGrange Rd. in Countryside, IL?
Papa's, Ledo's, Home Run Inn--most of the non-chain pizzas around Chicago are baked round but cut square.
Slice Poll: Round vs. Square
@gianluca. Do you know Roberto from Zero Otto Nove?
Ciao,

Slice Poll: Round vs. Square
Though I prefer round, Ledo Pizza's is awesome even though they cut it in squares!
Sicilian crust must be prepared right in order to be good!
