I was in Ohio for 5 nights over Christmas, but now I’m back in Brooklyn NYC. This afternoon it hit me… I haven’t had pizza in OVER A WEEK!!
RED ALERT!!!
Luckily where I live in Brooklyn, I can walk to a main commercial streets with lots of pizza options, so I went to my favorite place and got a slice and a Grandma slice. So so good.
In fact, I took a creative writing class at the New School years ago and I interviewed that pizza place’s management for an assignment. If memory serves correctly, they owned the pizza place that John Travolta visited in the movie Saturday Night Fever.
Note: Grandma slices are thin crust square slices. The thick square slices are Sicilian.
Note: a pet peeve of mine: when pizza with nothing extra on it is referred to as a “cheese slice.” To me it’s a “slice,” “regular” or “plain” slice.” I know many say “cheese slice” so i know I’m not winning that one.
I miss NY pizza…help!!!

I call it a plain slice. And a cheese pie. Brooklyn talk from being born in Greenpoint in 1957. Never heard it called a grandma slice, Rex. We called the square version a Sicilian slice. Anyway, a want a triangle plain slice to fold in half to let the olive oil orange drip up my arm as I eat it. Now, please.

Grandma is different than Sicilian. Grandma is thin crust, Sicilian is not. Abs yes “plain” is acceptable

Yeah, you are right, Sicilian is thick crust. I’ll have to try Grandma next time down to the city.

So, are those pizza slices exactly the same but cut differently?
I know in the US you have different kind of crusts, but the sauce and cheese, are the same?
I love square pizza, specially the middle pieces without the ?? border? I make square pizza only when I have to make many and the round forms are not enough 🙂

I’m not sure. It seems actually flatter than the round pie. And I think they add sauce on top of cheese as well as below

Baltimore is a little far from me, I live closer to the border of Pennsylvania. Every time I visit Staten Island I head over to my favorite spot for some pizza. If you’re ever in Staten Island go to Denino’s. Are you close to Spumoni Gardens? I love that place.
