New York Style Pizza in Chicago

Posted Wed, 2006-02-22 01:16 by tsliker

I've been to Chicago about 5 or 6 times and love the city, but I've often wondered if I could live there.  NO NEW YORK STYLE PIZZA!  I know there's go to be some, but I sure haven't found it.  Anyone out there know of any?  I just found this blog that refers to it.  An excerpt, speaking of Gigio's of Evanston:

 They advertise a New York style pizza, and it's as close as I've seen to it in Chicagoland.

Here's an article about a guy with a mission similar to mine-- to help out people who NEED good New York pizza when they're somewhere else.  My approach is to build this directory.  His approach is to send the  !

You can order a New York Style pizza to be delivered to your home at his site, http://www.iwantnypizza.com. 

Progress on the New York Pizza Finder

Posted Mon, 2006-02-20 14:13 by tsliker

Blogging is so much easier than doing a Web Site!  Nonetheless, I 've concluded that this blog is really not the right format for my New York Style Pizza Locator.   For that directory, I've built a Web Site, currently located at http://www.sliker.com/newyorkpizzafinder.  Each  place will have an individual ranking and review if available.

My biggest problem is when using Front Page, copying and pasting one section to another, and then having to reformat stuff.  I think I'm makin

I was looking through www.pizzatherapy.com, and there is a pretty large pizza directory there.  It has a lot of places from the New York / New Jersey area, but very few from around the south.   The list is not very discriminating-- they appear to include all pizza places, even fu-fu type bean sprout pizza places, although there does seem to be a lot of places that would fit on my site, http://www.sliker.com/newyorkpizzafinder. 

Here are a few new places in North Carolina and South Carolina that s

New York Style Pizza in Appleton, Wisconsin

Posted Sun, 2006-02-19 02:01 by tsliker

Just found the following blog entry for Appleton, WI.  Looks like Sal's Pizza is in town!  My love for New York Style Pizza was developed at a Sal's Pizza in Yardville, NJ.  Slices were $.32 in the early days.  I remember getting a buck from my Mom and having to decide whether to get two slices and a coke or three slices, no drink, and owe Sal a penny.  Most of the time I opted for (wanna guess???)  three slices and no drink.  To read about the Sal's of Appleton, check out:  http://appleton-wi.blogspot.co

World Pizza Championships

I was flipping the channels the other night and came across the Food Network's World Pizza Championships.  Very cool.  They had several competions, including a freestyle flipping contest.  The Competion was held in Italy, and I believe an American won a medal (second place) for the first time.   Some links:

Pizza in Portland

Posted Fri, 2006-02-10 00:34 by tsliker

I had a request from Valerie for places to find New York Style   in Portland, OR.  I didn't get the chance to do any research before she sent me an email telling me of a very cool Web page listing out pretty much every "pizza joint" in Portland.  The site can be found at http://www.bizave.com/pizza.html.  The site is put together by a guy named Andrew who apparently also has a talking swan.

 

Boro Pizza - Hillsborough, NJ

The search engines have finally started picking up this blog.  You can now find it via Google.  I guess that 's why I had 48 visits yesterday, including someone from my hometown who told me of the demise of my formerly favorite pizza place.   There were many memorable moments at that place.  I love calling there-- the conversation would go like this:
"Boro Pizza"
"I'd like a cheese pie"
"Ten minutes."

I loved that -- no need to ask for your name.  They're gonna be cranking out the cheese pies anyway.  Another memory was when I was dating a girl who claimed she could eat as much pizza as me,

The New York Pizza Finder

Still figuring out how I want to work this, but generally I am concluding that my New York Style Pizza Directory is better suited to a traditional Web site rather than a blog.  I will continue to use this blog to update the world on my adventures, seeking out quality New York Style pizza wherever I go, and even in places I don't go.  Please check out the New York Style Pizza Finder site at http://www.sliker.com/NewYorkPizzaFinder   It will help you out when you "Gotta Getta Slice."
