This item has been on the record-album blog Vinyl from Hell since 2009, but FoS and Twin Cities pizza fiend Aaron Landry recently hipped me to it. It's an old promotional album from 1967, put out by Jeno's Pizza. Here's VfH on the history:
For those of you who aren't familiar with the story of Jeno's pizza, the company was once one of the largest employers in the city of Duluth, Minnesota. The owner, Luigino (Jeno) F. Pau...

I have linked the hecks out of this post since we debuted it just before Memorial Day. Forgive me, then, if I have pizza-paddled you over the head with it. But ... this is the internet, and newbies are constantly streaming in.
If you are one of them and want to know how to grill pizza, our step-by-step guide will help. It's easier than you think.
Now, go make some grilled pizza, y'all! »

VIEW SLIDESHOW: Slice Tests the Kettle Pizza Grill Insert
The Kettle Pizza grill insert promises to help you turn your 22-inch Weber kettle grill into a fire-breathing pizza-cooking machine.
Why would you even need this thing and what does it do? Those seemed to be the questions everyone at the test-grilling last night had. Even though Mmmph beat us to the punch on testing his, we wanted to try it the way the manufacturer intended it before maxing out ...
Rosario's Pizza
248 US Highway 130, Bordentown NJ 08505; map); 609-298-1335
Pizza Style: New York–style
Oven Type: Gas
Price: slices, $1.75; large whole pie, $11
Notes: Cash only
Rosario's Pizza is the type of place I want to love, but even if I don't, I tend to cut some slack because it is such a genuine piece of Americana. Or Italian-Americana, as the case may be. This little pizzeria on the side of a busy New Jersey road has been around since 1973. I wa...
In the previous post here, I mentioned Jeffrey Steingaten's epic rant against Di Fara, but maybe it's best to break it out into its own post here as a "reheat" for the click-averse....
This post will not make me popular. Is DiFara's transcendent or merely epiphanic? As a professional food critic, I can report only on food I have eaten. I have visited DiFara's just twice, once two years ago and again about ten months ago—both times mid-week and mid-afternoon. And both pizzas I ordered ...
Grub Street talked to food writer Jeffrey Steingarten for its Grub Street Diet this week. In it, he mentions Di Fara:
Anyone who thinks DiFara is a shrine doesn't know what God is. I'm afraid I'm very immoderate in this, and I actually hate people, hate them, really dislike people who worship DiFara's.
That's a pretty succinct version of Mr. Steingarten's thoughts on Di Fara. In August 2009, he left a 3 a.m. diatribe on a Slice Di Fara post that was so long it appeared he may have hit...
Or, "A Bronx Tail"
Of all the Little Italys across the U.S., New York City was blessed with the three best. From the original, in downtown Manhattan, to what was once the most authentically Italian, in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, and to the still-vibrant Arthur Avenue neighborhood in the Bronx. To quote Henry Hill, "It was a glorious time."
Gianluca Rottura (of Pizza and Coffee ), who you might know as "nextgospel" here on Slice, dropped this dispatch in my inbox the other day. For all tho...
Longtime Slice'r Philip "Prairie" Given (of The Susquehanna Photographic) checks in with some photos of the newish Pizza Hut Big Italy pizza. He must have seen me talking about it here. I love inbox surprises! Thanks, Philip! —The Mgmt.

Looks like it's from a place called Eslice in the Boqueria market in Barcelona.

From BBC News is a video (sorry, not embeddable) of a group of Poles' attempt at making the world's longest pizza. The report says three and a half tons of flour was used and that it's thought to be more than a kilometer long. (That's more than 0.62 mile, if, like me, you can't convert in your head instantly.)
You know, despite all the Polack jokes out there (and I've heard them all, given that I'm half Polish), the fact that they're using an impinger oven to cook it in a continuous she...
Some of you out there may be looking for one of those electric countertop pizza ovens like the one Rene Walhout touted in the Slie interview with him. There's a similar one for sale on eBay right now. Starting bid: US$52.99.
As you'll recall, Mr. Walhout has a G3 Ferrari pizza oven, which I believe was for the European market. The one for sale on eBay is a Deni Pizza Bella oven, which was sold in the early 2000s in the U.S.
Confused but still thinking of bidding? Here's a thread on...
"Well, I've been meaning to come out here for a long time. I guess you could say that the timing took too long. But, look, I started this whole wacky frenzy [about Neapolitan pizza]. All those other guys know that. Everyone who's planning on opening a Neapolitan pizzeria has been to my place in NYC to check it out. I've tried the pizza at some of the new places out here. It's all good and it's all different. But I've been making pizza since I was 15 years old. I started Una Pizza Napoletana in...

Dagnabbit! While I was waiting for Kenji Lopez-Alt to get back to town and help test the Kettle Pizza insert I bought last week, Slice'r Mmmph received his and beat us to the punch. No biggie — we'll still be grilling with ours. In the meantime, here's Mmmph's take. —The Mgmt.
I thought I'd pass on my first experience with the Original Pizza Kettle Oven insert that I bought on eBay, after reading about it on Slice. I received mine a couple of days after the Slice "Unbox...
