This is from NFL.com:

The Giants love Umberto's pizza, their regular Friday eats since 2007. So they had 12 pies flown from New York to Indianapolis, just in time for a post-practice meal they hope will fuel success.

Yesterday afternoon the wife and I went to Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza for lunch. We decided to try a different pizza this time and wound up ordering their Sausage & Broccoli Rabe pie.

OMG....out of this world!

We have a brick pizza oven in the back of the house, my husband had to have it built there. We've used it probably 3 times, was ok.

That pic up there, though, looks like an awesome pie.

Umberto's in New Hyde Park is very good but they have a habit of burning the crust. The sauce is unique. Very home style.

Carmine's in Greenpoint is good.

VIP on Bell Blvd might be among the best in Queens.

I saw a couple of episodes of a show called "A Slice of Brooklyn". It's about a guy named Tony in Brooklyn who gives 4 1/2 hour tours of Brooklyn including stops at pizzerias: Grimaldi's and L & B Spumoni Gardens. Anybody familiar with this? It looked like a great time!

I'm familiar with stories about it (I never took the tour). From what I've heard about it, I would recommend it to tourists.

Basically, the bus makes a few stops throughout Brooklyn at different pizzerias where you can eat different kinds. They have a tour guide on each bus and they keep you "entertained" for the duration of the tour. It would be best if you went with a friend or a group of people.

From what I seen on the show it looks like a real good time. Old school Brooklyn trivia, jokes & info. The second episode showed a new tour guide with the tourists at Spumoni Gardens. The tourist calls over the newbie tour guide (who claims she is a born & bred Italian Brooklyn Girl to the core) he gives her the paper plate with the Spumoni slice and asks her to take it back because there is no cheese on the slice! The kicker - she actually takes it back to the counter and asks them why there is no cheese?!? I'm from Idiotville, Illinois and even I know that L & B puts the cheese on the bottom and tomatoes on top! This "Brooklyn Girl" had no clue! Fuhgettaboudit!

I think I'd like to take the tour just to see stuff like that (as a Brooklyn native) and to put my local knowledge against that of the tour guide's.

Geoff, TIS and I took a similar kind of tour (hard to believe it was about 9 years ago) of the "Sopranos" shooting locations. As a way to entertain us on the tour the guide asked "Godfather" related questions for prizes (like a box of ziti and such). Geoff answered EVERY question correctly and TIS and I got a few prizes .... I don't think anyone else on the bus participated. lol

Like I said, a tour like this is worth it if taken with friends.

In the trade, that kind of a gig is usually referred to as a "hand job." Really.

Update - I just checked that Slice of Brooklyn website and that Brooklyn newbie tour guide girl is on staff. She must have got a lot better! She is the blonde in the pic with the whole gang.

Quote:
From Europe, Lessons on Frying Pizza
By PETE WELLS
THE most surprising thing about the montanara, a fried pizza that in less than a year has found a niche in New York’s crowded pizza ecosystem, is that Americans needed to import the idea from Europe.

If a food is commonly eaten in the United States, somebody somewhere has attempted to cook it in hot oil. Americans have deep-fried Twinkies, salads, candy bars and caviar. Last year, the Wisconsin State Fair gave the world deep-fried butter.
Pizza has not escaped this fate. Yet this American approach to frying has, I’m obliged to say, lacked the finesse that was necessary to invent the montanara. American-fried pizza tends to be batter-dipped, which certainly gets the job done but doesn’t produce something you’d choose to eat unless you were at a state fair, and even then it wouldn’t start to sound like a good idea until you’d had a couple of deep-fried beers. (They do that in Wisconsin, too.) The montanara isn’t battered. Technically, it might not be considered a fried pizza. The only part that is fried is the wheel of dough, which spends a fast but influential minute or so in hot oil before the sauce, cheese and so forth is applied on top. At that point, the whole thing is sent to the oven to bake like any other pizza.

The use of frying is subtle, and for that kind of refinement, America needed the Italians, who have been quietly frying pizza dough in Naples for years before anyone noticed.
At the onset of its American invasion, the montanara made landfall at Forcella, opened in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, last June by a pizza man from Naples named Giulio Adriani. ..

Fried Pizza


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

I disagree. I find a lot of Italians on Long Island, like Umberto's, you make good Italian food, while Greeks and Albanians make mediocre Italian food in the boroughs.

I recently went to Spumoni Gardens on 86th and made the mistake of ordering baked ziti. Should have had the pizza.
