Some Details on Tarry Lodge, New Mario Batali Pizzeria in Port Chester

There is life outside of NEW YORK CITY!!!.......I now live in the Binghamton NY. And after lots of searching for real pizza in the area.......I found a good one. Mario's Pizza in the University Plaza in Vestal(border of Binghamton) They use a real stone/fire heated oven with no rotator belts....no screens to put the pie on...no rolling pins to stretch it....Yes thats what you get outside of Gotham people ..Mario's is authentic and the SUNY Binghamton University students (80% from New york and long Island love it) its hand spun, thin crispy, tasty pizza finally. The plain rocks....... the specialty stuff is really good(Buffalo, Lasagna, Tomato Bacon Ranch ect,,,.... but there Margherita is so different in flavor this is the only joint that could make it in the Apple. Kudos to Mario's. You get to Binghamton ask for Craig the owner or Steve the Manager The place is the bomb people. Thank God I was dying without good Pizza.

Slice Walk: Park Slope

Adam, you did a real public service in your blogs about Park Slope pizza.
One thing though-Pino's does make a great pie with freshly grilled eggplant. We order a takeout pie for years and have never been disappointed. Most other pizzerias use fried eggplant which distracts from pizza.
Also, would love to get Lenny's delivered but they won't travel to the North slope-big mistake. They could do a ton of business up here.

Slice Walk: Park Slope

I traded Park Slope for Los Angeles a couple of years ago, but I still pine for the pizza. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

Although I can't argue with your slice analysis, my favorite whole pie was a meatball and peppers pie from Joe's on 7th (they make really tasty meatballs), and my favorite unusual slices were the ones on offer at Pino's.
