March is Women’s History Month and that means it’s the PERFECT time to celebrate women in the pizza world! We all know that pizza is a male-dominated business, but there are plenty of incredible women working the dough and running the show. People in the pizza biz know that there’s been a recent push to …
I’ve been on a bunch of podcasts but none were quite like the Know Time podcast. Shilaj Lawania, the show’s creator and host, records both video and audio from his tiny apartment. This isn’t a typical shoebox, it’s a shoebox with a magical view you’ll think is a green screen image. His questions are deep …

It must have been a Saturday because I was leading a tour to Lo Duca Pizza in Newkirk …
Luzzo’s Pizzeria Napoletana (211 First Ave) closed its doors earlier this week after more than 20 years of serving the East Village with excellent pizza. Owner Michele Iuliano says they’ll reopen next week just a few blocks away at 15 Ave B. The one thing they can’t salvage from 211 1st Ave is an old …

Holy smokes, this new set of pizza data is really fascinating! Derrick Tung, owner of Paulie Gee’s Logan Square, sent it to me last week and it’s a real doozy. This crew pulled search data and used it to put together a rigorous list of the top 15 pizza cities in the U.S. SPOILER ALERT: …
