Pizza at Bella Napoli in Port Charlotte, FL

PIcked up a couple large cheese pies from Bella Napoli.  Came to my parents house to watch the South Carolina Gamecocks play the Florida Gators.

Slice is Really Where It's At

I just wanted to take a moment to say "Hello" to Adam Kuban and his posse over at http://slice.seriouseats.com/, and thanks for a shout-out on their very popular pizza site.

When I started blogging about New York Style Pizza (almost 4 years ago!), Adam commented on my blog less than twenty-four hours after my first blog post.  He welcomed me to the world of Pizza blogging.  Here's what he said: 

Welcome to the pizzablogging fold. You don't know what you're getting yourself into! I advise you not to turn back, however, but plow forward over the mountains of cheese and through the rivers of sauce that lie on the path before you. Godspeed, dear sir!

I was amazed!  I was still figuring out what RSS was, and I didn't know anything about Technorati, and there was no such thing and there was no such thing as Google Blog Search or Google Alerts.    I was trying to figure out how he knew about me and so quickly?  He told me about Technorati and it really opened my eyes to the power of automated searches and subscriptions across the Web.

 

Madonna's Outrageous Claim: "I Never Had a Slice of New York Pizza"

I've never been a big fan of Madonna's but I've always been intrigued by here ability to stir up a big controversy and get press.  Well, she's done it again and this time it regards a topic very important to me.    On David Letterman recently, she claimed that she had never eaten a slice of New York Pizza. 

According to her Wikipedia article, she lived in New York City for at least 5 years beginning in 1977.  Now tell me, what kind of person would or could live in NYC for 5 years and never have a slice?  This is outrageous!  She is either a bald-faced liar or she is some kind of FREAK!   Which is it, we may never know, but in the meantime, once again, Madonna has made headlines.  You can check out the Letterman clip below...

Looking for New York Style Pizza in Tampa

I am heading back to the Tampa area again.  I am looking for good New York Style pizza in the Tampa  / St. Pete / Clearwater area.   I haven't even blogged all my findings from the last visit yet, and I'm going back for more.

Got any ideas for me? 

Someone suggested CBD's in Tampa but after looking at their menu (click here) I'm not so sure.

Send me your ideas!
