New York Pizza in Raleigh, NC

Posted Thu, 2007-09-20 22:24 by tsliker

We attempted to try 3 pizza places in one evening here in the Raleigh area. First up was NY Pizza which has 3 places in Cary. (Read the reviews on Google!)  We stopped at the one close to I-40 and it was excellent.

New York Style Pizza in Salt Lake City Anyone?

On the New York Pizza Finder site I recently received the following comment from Dave regarding Este Pizza in Salt Lake City:

you guys should check out Este Pizzeria in Salt Lake City, big thin slices baked in a bakers pride deck oven, they offer sicilian semi regularly, basically the locals here don't get it, these guys have it.

Finally! Two Vinnie's in Savannah

I made it to Savannah for a few days last week and managed to get to both Cousin Vinnie's Jersey Style Pizza and Vinnie Van Go-Gos.  I took a big group with me to Cousin Vinnie's for lunch and I have to say I was a little disappointed.  They scored only an 80 on the Sliker Scale, and a 3.5 Stars on the Yummy Scale.  The biggest problem, and I have to say this is a

We timed our drive from Michigan to South Carolina PERFECTLY so that we could stop for dinner at Hero's New York Pizza and Pub in Louisville, KY.  I blogged recently about a comment from Kirk where he was so elated to find good New York Style pizza right there in Louisville.  Turns out that Hero's is just a couple miles from I-64, and we were able to stop in there on a Friday night around 8:00 pm.   Unfortunately the owners of Hero's had stepped out for a few m

Cafe Luigi - Best NY Pizza in Chicago?

Posted Sat, 2007-07-14 12:59 by tsliker

I took the family to Cafe Luigi and we were very impressed with the pies.  We got one cheese and one with pepperoni.    I'm giving it a 100 on the Sliker Scale and 5 stars on the Yummy Scale.   I'm giving them credit for having Sicilian even thought it was really probably "Chicago Style" pizza, ie., it was thick crust but it was round instead of square.  I'm giving them credit since they're in Chicago and a lot of people like Chicago-style

Walking NYC for Slices of Pizza

Posted Thu, 2007-06-28 10:16 by tsliker

On Saturday my friend Reiner and I went into New York and spent the day exploring the length of Manhattan Island.  After my prior two days eating pizza non-stop, I wasn't too hungry for pizza, but I did manage to get a couple slices in.

I made a quick trip to NJ and NYC this past week and was truly in Pizza Heaven.   My brother picked me up at the train station and we had reservations at Delorenzo's on Hamilton Ave in "the Berg" section of Trenton.    A picture of DeLorenzo's Tomatoe Pie is below:

New York Style Pizza in Chicago and Everywhere!

Posted Sun, 2007-04-08 22:56 by tsliker

Well, after several weeks of burning the candle at both ends, I've completely redesigned and re-architected the www.NewYorkPizzaFinder.com Web site.  The site is now totally database driven, uses XML files, and includes Google Maps mash-up. 

 The last time I was in Atlanta, I wanted to find some New York Style Pizza and realized that the site was inadequate for the traveller seeking good pizza.  It was just a list of places and reviews, but with no real sense of space and locality.  But now, with the Google Maps integration, I hope you will fin
