More New York Pizza in Orlando - Gourmeto's

I took a chance on this "hole in the wall" because it had a big sign that just said "Pizzeria" and was close to the hotel, and when I walked inside it smelled good and there was a guy that sounded like a New Yorker talking on the phone.  The pizza comes in four sizes-- medium, large, x-large, and xx-large (18").  And they're open and deliver until 2 am.  And they have canolis for dessert.  I knew it would be my kind of place.

So we got a to-go menu and called around 10:30, ordering a x-large and an xx-large to feed 6 of us.  It was excellent New York Style Pizza.  Gourmeto's is located at Exi

Flipper's Pizza in Orlando / Kissimmee

It was the big sign that said "Pizzeria" that caught my attention.  I had been traveling around Orlando trying to find the place called "Real New York Pizza" and finally had concluded it was far away, and I was too hungry to wait.  I was heading to Kissimmee to ride some go-carts and to find a place called "New York Pizza".   I went into Flipper's and was disappointed to find that I couldn't buy a slice.  Strike One.

I left because I saw a sign across the street that said "NYPD Pizza"-- Yippee, I was hoping to try some NYPD Pizza while in Orlando.  NYPD was no where to be found-- closed down

Pizza in Charleston, WV -- Is it lacking???

I'm still trying to figure out how  Technorati works, so I'm spending a good bit of time after I post doing queries on Technorati and waiting for my post to show up.  For a while there unless I manually ping the site.  The other problem is that I don't get credit for all the links to my blog.   Technorati shows four sites with links to my site, but then it still describes my site as 0 links from 0 sites.  So what I do is use

New York Style Pizza on Wikipedia

I realized last night that Wikipedia is a little weak in the area of New York Style Pizza.  I haven't had the desire before to update Wikipedia, but I really thought this topic needed some work.  So now, I'm trying to figure out how big to make it.  Should we add some links to New York Style Pizza blogs?  Web sites?  Should I point folks to the New York Pizza Finder?

It didn't take long to find some New York Style Pizza in Orlando.  Our first stop, before even checking into the hotel, was to visit Anthony's Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant, located in the Thornton Park area of downtown Orlando.  Anthony's ghas a long line of "Orlando's Best Pizza" awards to its credit.  It's a nice restaurant with a traditional menue for a Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant.  It scored a perfect 100 on the Sliker Rating System.

Maybe everybody else already heard of this, but I just learned today about PodZinger, which is a search engine that will search podcasts for content.  This product was developed by BBN, the company that developed the Internet.  The guy in the interview I heard refers to the guy he works with as "the guy who invented the @ sign."  They've been working for years on spy technology that scans recordings and recognizes key words.  They've now channe

New York Style Pizza in Chicago

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.
