Yesterday the beloved pizzeria Di Fara posted an age-old question on their Facebook. A question we are faced with, and argue with our significant others, on a regular basis: "Pizza for breakfast? A Do or Don't?" more ›

Pizza brinkmanship is nothing new. But the Times' latest update from the front lines shows just how nasty the battle has become between three pizza joints located around Sixth Avenue and 39th Street. In lowering their prices to $0.75 a slice—with promises to go lower—the pizza slingers prove that the war isn't about profit, but crushing the competition. The story is complicated, involves family dynasties and espionage—and it's time for David Simon to ditch The Big Easy and set up shop in Midtown. Marinara is thicker than water, and the cheese stands alone. more ›

Considering all the moving Grimaldi's has done in the last few months, it's a pleasant surprise to hear of plans to open a new location in Coney Island, across from Luna Park. According to NY1, the mini-franchise's fourth NYC location "is expected to help Coney Island's development into a year-round destination." more ›

So a guy, a girl, and a goat walk into a Midtown pizza joint and order some slices... and proceed to eat those slices at a table... with the goat, and no one seems to care? This photo shows barely a reaction from other diners at La Famiglia, and it just ends up in the wasteland of Twitter with a quick note: "saw a goat eating pizza at La Famiglia on 50th & B'way." more ›

Time to talk about putting armed guards in Newark restaurants after 9 p.m. again? On Saturday night the city of Newark saw its 12th homicide of the year when an armed gunman entered the Golden Pizzeria and Grill around 11:13 p.m. Saturday night, hopped over the counter and shot 55-year-old father of six Calvin Johnson twice in the chest. Johnson, who was just finishing his shift, was pronounced dead soon after. more ›

Was White Castle all booked up when you went to make your Valentine's Day reservation? Fear not, fast food loving Romeo, Pizza Hut has got you covered. Because if you have $10,010 to drop on a proposal, obviously Pizza Hut should be your first choice. Is that what you are thinking right now? That there is probably nowhere else your future bride would rather be proposed to than over a lukewarm $10 pizza? Seriously dude, you can't think of one better place? Fine. Let's do this... more ›

With the Giants getting ready for a very unusual Super Bowl tomorrow in Indianapolis, it is only fitting that it took a very unusual set of circumstances for them to get their beloved and traditional Friday after-practice Long Island pizza there. Umberto's was given a police escort to LaGuardia Airport yesterday in order to fly out to Indy to deliver 15 pies to the team. And the millionaires seemed to enjoy the fact that greenhouse gases were pumped into the atmosphere so they could enjoy lukewarm pizza, despite a lack of salsa. more ›

Since the Giants devour pizzas from Long Island's Umberto's after every Friday practice, you wouldn't think a little four hour flight would stop them while they're in Indianapolis for the Super Bowl, right? Except the Giants aren't going to be returning to New York for their weekly meal, they're having it delivered to them—never underestimate the power of superstition when it comes to the sports set. But what's really absurd is that the pizzas just got a police escort to LaGuardia Airport! more ›

Finally, the United States has overhauled school lunch rules for the first time in 15 years, forcing cafeterias to do things like "Offer fruits and vegetables as two separate meal components" to help with the childhood obesity epidemic. Thanks goodness Big Pizza, Big Salt and Big Potato succeeded in getting pizza and French fries classified as vegetables. more ›

Regular beer pairs just fine with pizza, but if you really want to step up your gluttony game, you're going to want to invest in some Pizza Beer, which is something that exists and people pay for. Yes, it tastes like pizza. more ›

Oh sure, science hasn't quite been able to create real life Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles yet, but they've made amazing strides in creating other hybrid animals, such as Zebroids (horse/zebra), Ligers (lion/tigers) and Wholphins (whale/dolphin). Judging by the awesome video below, it seems a new hybrid is already in existence: The Opizzera (opera singer/pizza slinger). more ›

Back in the day, you could learn how to make pizza with a minimum-wage job in a dead-end suburban town. But these days, if you want to do it right, you apparently have to sign up for a five-day, $2,800 "Pizza School" conveniently located in...Staten Island. more ›

The rumor mill is buzzing today with the news that legendary Midwood pizzeria Di Fara, recently recovered from a nasty run-in with the DOH, might be expanding to New Jersey. Could it be true? more ›

Yesterday, we were quite happy when word came that the city Buildings Department had given approval for Grimaldi's to install a coal-fired oven in their new Front Street DUMBO location, ending a month-long work standoff. And they wasted no time reopening, with lines around the block Saturday afternoon: "The Earth tilted back on its axis today. Long lines return at new Grimaldi's, all the way to the future Juliana's," tweeted FultonFerry. more ›

The Grimaldi's Pizza relocation saga has come to a happy ending: the city Buildings Department has given approval for Grimaldi's to install a coal-fired oven in their new DUMBO location. “The pie will be the same, maybe a little better,” owner Frank Ciolli told the Post. more ›

The real, original Ray's Pizza on Prince Street near Little Italy, which served its last slice in October, is being split into two separate businesses and will reopen next year, DNAinfo reports. Those businesses? Another pizza place and a spa, so you can get your greasy cheese-stained lip waxed all in one place. more ›

Since the dawn of humanity, uptowners have battled downtowners, and east siders have fought brutally against west siders, to retain the title of champion pizza-eating neighborhood of New York. Today, the New York City Economic Development Corporation has released the statistics that can finally put this battle to rest, declaring the areas in each borough with the highest number of pizza establishments. And the winners are... more ›

Regular New York pizza eaters are familiar with a variety of Rays: Ray's Pizza, Famous Ray's Pizza, Famous Original Ray's Pizza, and even the occasional "World-Famous Original Ray's Pizza," too. So when the Famous Ray's on 6th Avenue and 11th Street in Greenwich Village closed in October, not all slice-hounds were terribly concerned. And why should they be? As it turns out, Famous Ray's is being reborn as Famous Original Ray's. Will anyone be able to tell the difference? more ›

A group of protesters arrested for blocking traffic yesterday during a World AIDS Day civil disobedience action near City Hall say they were not only denied dinner while being booked at the 7th Precinct, but that police also ate two pizzas that were specifically ordered for them by their supporters. This is already the second pizza pilfering scandal to rock the NYPD in as many years; last time it was the "hipsters" who suffered. In this latest incident, police allegedly encouraged the detained activists' supporters to order the pizza. more ›
