Finding New York Pizza Nirvana in Harrisburg

Posted Sat, 2006-07-15 08:02 by tsliker

I'm not sure it's even worth looking for or listing out all the good pizza places in the Harrisburg area.  It's like being in New York or New Jersey-- there seems to be a good pie on every corner.  Besides the place in Mechanicsburg, I tried out a couple places last night in downtown Harrisburg.  On 2nd Street, which is where most of the restaurants and bars are in Harrisburg, I found two great places to get a slice.  Palumbo's was excellent, I got a slice from there, and then at 2nd Street Pizza, we ended up getting a whole pie.  Both places have both traditional (Neopolitan) and Sicilian sli

Finding Good Pizza Near Harrisburg, PA

I've got a few days to spend here in Central Pennsylvania, and my first night here I went to eat with a group at Grandpa's Growler in downtown Mechanicsburg.  Right next door, what did I see?  Only a place called Sal's Pizza!   So of course I had to sneak away from the group for an "appetizer", a slice of Sal's as well as a good look around.  Sal's ranked a 100 on the Sliker Scale, and 4 stars on the yummy factor.  Not bad for my first night in town.  Tonight, I'll be looking for a more-- one or two in Mechanicsburg and a couple in Harrisburg...  

Hurricane Mikey says Thumbs Up to New York Pizza

I had an incomplete blog awhile back about Pizza in Vegas.  I had a really great slice right along the strip, on the West side, somewhere between New York New York and the Bellagio, probably closer to the Bellagio.  I've been a little frustrated that I couldn't remember the name or the exact location. 

 So today I'm noting Hurricane Mikey's endorsement  of New York Pizza & Pasta as the best New York Style Pizza in Vegas.  Thanks, Mikey, for the valuable info. 

I Love Clemson (but only for the pizza)

Posted Thu, 2006-06-29 21:55 by tsliker

As a tried and true Gamecock, I was wondering if I would find anything that I would ever like about Clemson, and I FOUND IT!   Coming back from a backpacking trip along the Chatooga River, my friend Troy recommended that we stop at Peppino's Pizza in Clemson, South Carolina.  We did, and to my surprise it was excellent New York Style Pizza.   

Peppino's is located right downtown in the small hamlet of Clemson- you can't miss it.

Striking Out in Myrtle Beach

Posted Thu, 2006-06-29 19:42 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

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

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 10:30 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 22:48 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
