Previously in our West Coast Pizza Madness tour: Apizza Scholls, where our party of eight housed almost four pies. After dinner there had ended, only one brave soul—This Is Pizza's Adam Lindsley—dared join me for a second stop at Nostrana immediately after. (The rest of the folks retired to the Horse Brass for drinks, some vowing to meet us later in the evening for the third and final stop.) Though I'm not a fan, I'm used to the notion of Neapolitan-style joints leaving pies uncut. I've never seen one offer scissors for the job, however. As This Is Pizza's Adam Lindsley noted:…

Openings: Paulie Gee's, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
3 Nov 2009 | 11:45 amThis has been in the works for some time, but it's now official: Paulie Gee (aka Paul Gianonne) has signed the lease on the former Paloma space at 60 Greenpoint Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and is hoping to open Paulie Gee's by December. Anyone familiar with the Paulie Gee mythos won't find it surprising that his place will be a wood-fired Neapolitan-style joint. The oven is being built in Naples now and will be shipped over soon. Gianonne says he'll be the sole pizzaman at Paulie Gee's but will have an assistant trained and ready to step in at anytime in case of an emergency. As of now,… -

Black Bean Pizza Dough
3 Nov 2009 | 12:53 amFrom our good friend Bean at The Pizza Therapy ForumI make the dough in my bread machine and add 2 t. olive oil. The second time I made it I added cumin and chopped jalapenos to the dough & it turned out awesome! The leftover black beans make a great ‘sauce’ for the pizza mixed with seasonings. I have used this for a chicken fajita and taco pizza. Black Bean Pizza Dough 1 teaspoon active dry yeast (I used 2 t.) 2 cups bread flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup lukewarm water 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) 1/4 cup pureed black beans (if use canned beans, rinse and drain first) Combine… -

San Gennaro Cafe
20 Oct 2009 | 10:42 pmThis is another Italian restaurant down the street form a slightly more casual Maria's Italian Kitchen in Brentwood Village. This place represents the Italian heritage pretty hard, it goes further than just New York, it is San Gennaro. It is one of the few places where it seemed most people working were actually Italian. Not that this makes it genuine. In fact it hypes it up more to be -
Maria's Italian Kitchen
20 Oct 2009 | 10:41 pmHere is a common Italian restaurant, Maria's Italian Kitchen. It has been open since 1945 and since then has opened about 7 other places all over the LA area. This is the one in Brentwood. They are all run and owned by women, supposedly. It is a nice little place, thats not too fancy but not too casual. I ordered a large cheese pizza, and I asked for basil. Basil does not come on the pizza -

The happy hour is pretty great too. Outside of happy hour things are a little pricey -
Kosher Pizza
13 Oct 2009 | 4:18 pmSo I am not Jewish and I don't really know anything about Kosher and what it means to be Kosher or what Kosher should taste like. My understanding is Kosher just means at the most blessed food that follows any sort of rules that the religion might have. At the very least it means a place where Jews can go to be amongst other Jews. Either way, there a quite a few of these places that specialize -
Nagila
13 Oct 2009 | 2:19 pmSo a pretty well known place amongst Kosher eateries is this one on Pico, Nagila. It is 2 places combined with a little courtyard, if you want to call it that, in the middle. One side is called the Meating Place, which is burgers and chicken and things like that, the other is pizza, no meat just dairy and veggies. It is similar in setup to some place in a food court, no specific decor. You

Seventh Hill-- Eastern Market
26 Sep 2009 | 2:14 pmRecently my beloved Ben and Jerry's near Eastern Market closed down. Sadness! Where was I going to get my Chunky Monkey fix? But when I heard that a pizza place would be opening in its place, my frown turned upside down. It opened up on September 24, so Gary and I decided to give Seventh Hill a try.We went on a Friday night, and it was only their second day open, so it probably is not fair to do a full review, but I'll give you our first impressions of the place.The space was taken over by the owners of Montmartre, a French restaurant next door. The wood fired oven is made from bricks brought… -

Ulah Bistro -- U Street

No pizza?What's up, Barack?It has also been noted that President Obama has visited Ben's Chili Bowl on U Street. Ben's is a D.C. landmark, of course, and the place seems to have a lot of character. Reminds me of a neighborhood diner where all the locals gather. There is…

I have always loved these excellent animals who are too often under the radar of even many animal lovers. We have adopted two pigeons who currently live in a room in our garage, until they move into the loft I am building for them in our backyard. I have also been creating some advocacy material, such as the video above, with more to come.Pigeons are awesome, excellent pets. They are smart and funny, low maintenance yet very adaptable, and they are very… -
Pre-music Breakfast
18 Oct 2009 | 11:06 amEpi bread (from fridge dough). Not the most successful shaping, but I find it is hard to do right with fridge dough (both because it's cold and very soft). Still it was great, especially because I baked it with steam, so the crust was awesome. Outside, the garden is being overrun by weeds that were turbo-started overnight by the recent rain. Later on we'll be at the Treasure Island Music Festival, enjoying VIP tickets, no less! (Tix courtesy of my employer.) The festival's website states, "Reasonably priced food (including vegetarian/vegan options) and drinks will be available on-site." Look… -
The Daiya Review
28 Sep 2009 | 11:04 pmDaiya is a new vegan cheese that we have been hearing about for months now. Actually "hearing about" is an understatement; this product seems to have developed something of a cult following with people singing its praises left and right. Daiya will supposedly change the world, if you can believe it. It is supposed to taste and melt better than any other vegan cheese. And, at last, it also is supposed to achieve the as-yet unachievable: stretchy vegan cheese.Rainbow Grocery now sells Daiya, so naturally, I wanted to see what the fuss is about and recently picked up two half-pound tubs of it. -
Video: Making Focaccia
1 Jul 2009 | 8:13 pmWe promised it a while back, and now we deliver -- easy video instructions for making focaccia. This is really one of the easiest breads to make, so it's a great start if you feel intimidated by the pizza.These instructions pick up half-way into the pizza tutorial. You should have the exact same dough (4 cups flour, 2 cups water, 2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. yeast, risen for 8-12 hours) ready to go. Except, you won't be making pizza with it this time, but focaccia. The dough in the tutorial makes two pizzas, and it is a good amount of dough to make a focaccia a little smaller than the size of a… -

Naturally, we threw an all-vegan wedding, at Fort Mason in San Francisco (which is the place where I popped the question, eight months prior).The night before the wedding, Kathleen and I hosted a pizza party / rehearsal dinner at our house. With friends' help, I made about 8 pizzas (our standard tomato and pesto), which everyone loved. I think I may have created just a few more adorers of Ethical Pizza :)The wedding itself was…

"The Forever War" Officially Canceled
3 Nov 2009 | 6:51 pmSo, how many times can you get over the cancellation of the TMNT Adventures conclusion, "The Forever War"? Having first been canceled when the title itself was canceled in the mid-90s, and after several on-and-off broken promises throughout this decade that Mirage would publish the 5-part story, fans were given hope that the project might actually see the light of day as it was put on Mirage's schedule as part of the 25th anniversary celebration.As such, a lead-up TPB was released in July that collected key stories that would lead up to what we would see in "The Forever War." Unfortunately,… -
Mark Freedman Assisted Nick on TMNT Deal
2 Nov 2009 | 2:40 pmMark Freedman made the TMNT famous back in the 80s when he and his company, Surge Licensing, Inc., introduced the concept to Playmates toys. The toy deal became a TV deal, and the rest was history. Not much has been heard from Freedman and Surge Licensing (in respect to the TMNT) since their licensing contract expired in the 90s, so it's a bit surprising to hear that the man who helped to make the Turtles a world-wide phenomenon advised Nickelodeon on the deal throughout negotiations, as was revealed in a statement released today.Some quotes:Mark Freedman, an advisor to Viacom/Nickelodeon in… -

Stromboli Express, East Ave.
6 Nov 2009 | 5:08 amIf you consider downtown Rochester to be the area within the Inner Loop, then by my count there are just four places downtown where you can walk in during the day and grab a slice of pizza. (Whatever finally becomes of the former future Renaissance Square property, I think a pizzeria should be a top priority. Mayor Duffy, are you listening?)The easternmost of this foursome is Stromboli Express, on East Avenue between Chestnut and Broadway.As the name implies, they specialize in strombolis, with 26 varieties on the menu. But Stromboli Express also serves pizza, roughly in the New York style,… -
Big chains and little guys: observations from a reader
4 Nov 2009 | 4:42 amI recently got an email from a regular reader with some interesting observations about my statement that it's ironic that national chains with thousands of locations often seem to be better at turning out a uniform product than are much smaller local or regional chains, with far fewer locations to oversee. The reader referenced something I'd never heard of called "Six Sigma," which sounds like something out of a spy thriller, but I checked it out and it's for real.Anyway, I found the reader's comments interesting enough to be worth sharing. I quote them here in full.You comment: "A place like… -
Cam's, Lyell Ave. and Spencerport
2 Nov 2009 | 9:42 amCam’s Pizzeria is a small chain with about a dozen locations in Upstate New York, ranging from Rochester as far away as Watertown. They’ve been in business since 1980, and may be the first pizzeria around here to specialize in New York style pizza.Right now there are three Cam’s locations in the Rochester area, on Lyell Ave. (the oldest of the three, and I’m guessing one of the oldest overall), on Titus Ave. in Irondequoit, and in Spencerport at the corner of Rt. 31 and S. Union St., just off the 531 expressway.I recently tried the Lyell Ave. location, and took some notes for a blog… -
Mark's Pizzeria, Lyell Ave.
30 Oct 2009 | 4:54 amFrom their many area locations and frequent TV ads, we’re all familiar with Mark's Pizzeria. Mark’s started out in Palmyra in 1982, and today has grown to about 40 locations in Western and Central New York. Its 16 Monroe County locations make Mark’s among the biggest local/regional chains around Rochester, and about the biggest that I’ll review. (I have no interest in reviewing national chains, although I might do it for laughs sometime.)One difficulty in reviewing chains is that you never know if the pizza you get at one location is going to be representative of what you’d find at… -
Pudgie's, Irondequoit
27 Oct 2009 | 4:44 amPudgie’s Pizza, Pasta & Subs got its start in Elmira in 1963. It began franchising in 1972, but today all eight of its shops, which stretch from Mansfield, Pa. to Rochester, are owned by two sons of Pudgie’s founder.There are two Pudgie’s locations in the Rochester area, one on North Goodman St., and one on Titus Ave. in Irondequoit, across from the House of Guitars.I actually stopped at the Goodman St. Pudgie’s a while back, but due to some obvious miscommunication between me and the counter person, I ended up with a “cheese stick” instead of a slice of pizza.

Book Review: Pizza - A Global History
24 Sep 2009 | 1:06 pmI recently read the book, Pizza - A Global History, by Carol Helstosky. This is a great book for anyone in the pizza business, or even a big pizza fan.It describes the origins of pizza in Naples, Italy, including why it was popular, what it was made with, and who likely ate it. It then explains the growth of pizza in the US and worldwide, including chains like Pizza Hut and Dominos.It also spends some time discussing pizza references in pop culture, including a scene that I left out of my top 10 pizza movies list, in Saturday Night Fever when John Travolta eats a slice. -

Best Pizza in SF Bay Area
27 Feb 2008 | 2:36 pmOn my last night in the Silicon Valley area, I decided to head up the east side of San Francisco Bay to visit Vito’s Pizzeria located in Newark, California. I have to say it was excellent! I met the owner (Vito!) and after eating a couple slices I introduced myself. I was happy to know he was familiar with the New York Pizza Blog and the New York Pizza Finder directory. Once we got to talking he decided I NEEDED to try some bread sticks and home-made marinara sauce and they were muy delicioso. I finished off my late night snack with a meatball dipped in the same marinara. -
Slices of Pizza in San Jose, CA
13 Feb 2008 | 9:41 amI was at a conference at the convention center in San Jose, and took out for a walk at lunch time. The prior morning while getting exercise I had seen two places that sold pizza by the slice and I was anxious to give them a try. The first stop was at Tony Soprano’s Pizzeria on San Fernando Street, which was pretty good pizza and scored an 80 on the Sliker Scale. Next was Pizza My Heart, which is a chain in this area. It scored 70 on the Sliker Scale. I was glad to see I could get a slice there, but I was less than optimistic about what I would get. It’s a place for… -

Nigredo Pizza
3 Nov 2009 | 9:03 amI created this last night and it was so good that I thought I would share it. I made two large ones and they were devoured. You can make this pizza thin and dainty on a large round pizza pan or use a 9 x 13 baking dish and pile the toppings so high it's almost a casserole. I made one of each and the latter option seems to be the favorite. Make sure you have a knife and fork! For the crust and sauce you can make your own from scratch to make it even more special but another good option to save time and effort without sacrificing taste would be getting good quality authentic Italian pizza sauce… -

I really enjoyed this pizza. My future hubby suggested I use fresh chicken breasts instead of the canned chicken. When I made the pizza I used a 12oz can of chicken. I used more cheese then recommened. I also used a regular onion. I used salsa when I made this pizza but I think I'll try taco sauce next time. When I made this pizza I put it in a cookie sheet as I do not have a pizza pan. I did have a little trouble with my dough…
