Got some hot sake for us? Let us know.





it is very nearly always a mistake to order mushrooms on pizza if you are not at a 12-buck-and-something-individual-pie-artisanal-pizza place or in certain regions in italy. indeed ordering more than, perhaps, one topping is the sign of, um, let us say, an unsophisticated approach. indeed, if i were to eat pizza with good quality fresh mushrooms, i would more than likely eschew cheese altogether. this is the italian approach.
there are about a dozen good things on the menu at sg -- the spuomoni for one and the sicilian pie. that pie does not cater to the very american taste that deems more -- double cheese, as if! -- toppings the better. it is much closer to homemade italian american type pizza.
if i were in brooklyn, it's not the first pizza place at which i would eat (neither would difara's btw), but it's a very good if one (i) knows what to order (zucchini sticks, i don't think so) and (ii) understands the type of food they are serving (this will of course result in more intelligent choices -- escarole in garlic and oil eg).
TaB and TaB Energy are two different drinks.
Viva la TaB!
and btw the cognescenti always order an "end piece" of the pizza -- except a few old ladies i know who like the mooshad center squares.
channel seven did a piece on L & B,
apparently they have an abusive delivery guy (owner?).
roughed a guy up.
Ha, so ordering more than one topping is unsophisticated, even at a place where the toppings are canned--very interesting! As for the cheese, its lightness was not the problem--it was the crust, which is the building block of any good pie. I had supposed that pizza would be the "intelligent" choice at a pizza joint, but apparently not!
P.S. I will agree that the end slices were the part of the pie to pull from.
