Striking Out in Myrtle Beach

Posted Thu, 2006-06-29 20:42 by tsliker

It was two months ago that I went to Myrtle Beach and stayed in a campground on the South end of town.  I managed to find some opportunities to seek out some good New York Style Pizza while I was there.  There used to be a place right down in the heart of Old Myrtle Beach near the pavilion that had very good slices.  The last two or three times I went by there it was closed for the off-season. 

So this time I tried a few other places that looked promising.  None of them had really bad pizza, but none was what I was looking for either.  Pizza Trattoria Romana is located in the heart of Myrtle

Return of the New York Pizza Blog

I can't believe it's been two months since my last blog post.  I can't really explain why I haven't posted.  I know it's NOT because the blog and the mission of serving New York Pizza Lovers is not important.  I'm more convinced than ever that this is indeed an important mission, and the comments on this site confirm it.  Also, the stats confirm it.  I'm averaging over 80 page views a day with peaks that go well over 100 pages viewed.  A lot of people are looking for New York Style Pizza in particular locations.  Looking at the sta

New York Pizza in La-La Land

Posted Sun, 2006-04-16 22:54 by tsliker

After doing some research I've found that there are definitely not a lot of choices for the New York Pizza lover in Los Angeles.  Albano's seems to garner the most passion from ex-New Yorkers, and Lamonica's has somewhat mixed reviews.  My wife and I have fond memories of a place along the boardwarl at Venice Beach that was quite good.  We arrived in L.A.

Testing Technorati Tags for New York Style Pizza

Posted Sat, 2006-04-15 11:30 by tsliker

I can't figure out why Technorati doesn't notice this blog.  I believe Wordpress submits all posts to Ping-o-matic, but that doesn't seem to get Technorati's attention.  So for this post, I'm including some links that are recommended by Technorati.

Okay, so I'm not an artist, but I thought we needed an easy way to see what areas are represented by the New York Pizza Finder, both the one on this blog site and the more detailed site.    Okay, so I'm not an artist...

New York Pizza in Atlanta

Posted Thu, 2006-04-13 23:48 by tsliker

The mention on Slice was based on a conversation with a New Yorker who found himself in Atlanta and couldn't find a good slice of pie.  I can definitely relate to this situation.  However, I've gotten pretty good at seeking out and finding a good slice if it exists in a particular city. 

I can't give good advice on Atlanta because honestly, I lived there for three years, and was just happy to have a Domino's nearby.  Nuff said about that.  Anyway, If you're looking

New York Pizza Blog gets a link from SLICE

Adam Kuban of Slice (www.sliceny.com) added a link on his site today, pointing "New York expats" to this site in order to help them find good New York Style pizza in far-away places. Check out the post!  

A Slice of Pizza in Savannah

Posted Thu, 2006-04-13 23:19 by tsliker

I was driving home from Florida and thought I might stop in Savannah for a Slice.  I connected to the Web via my Pocket PC Phone and asked Google to help me out.  The predominant response was a pointer to Vinnie’s Van Go-Go’s, 
I called the number on the site and got

NYPD Pizza – Missing In Action?

Posted Wed, 2006-04-12 23:08 by tsliker

One of goals for my trip to Orlando was to get a taste of NYPD Pizza.  I blogged about it  once before after reading that they were trying to get good New York Pizza to the masses.  They’re based in Orlando so I thought I’d get the chance to try it out.
While out near Kissimmee, I saw a sign that said NYPD Pizza.  After making a few U-Turns and working my way to the strip ma

Another Day in Pizza Heaven

We are 4 for 4 here in Orlando.  Today I tried out New York Pizza out on Hwy 192, just south of Disney World.  The pizza was delicious and had all the makings of an excellent New York Pizza place.  For some reason, however, they don't sell pizza by the slice, and they cut their X-Large pizzas (18") into 12 slices!  Why?  Why?  Why? 

A big old slice is a key component of the true New York Pizza experience, right?  Anyway, the pie was delicious and I recommend it to anyone going to Disney World or anywhere close.  I'm giving 4.5 stars on the Yummy Factor, and it comes out as an 80 on the Sliker
