Oggi’s “to die for” slice of the day
Steak pizza with fried shallots? It sounded promising, and it was indeed pretty tasty. The shallots added a lot of textural interest - plus they were kind of fun to eat, but didn't actually add any positive flavor to the slice. They'd clearly been sitting on a pan for a bit, so they weren't crunchy, and had been overcooked so they actually tasted bitter. As always, though, this place really [...]
Getting fat again
So I use "fat" in a tongue-in-cheek way. But I definitely spent the last few weeks watching what I ate, which meant no crazy banquet dinners, dinners of scrambled egg whites and vegetables, and the occasional helping of cheese dip, heaped high with guilt. As a result, my stomach became a cast iron tank. My collarbone and ribcage took greater prominence. When I lay down, I marveled at how my [...]
Who moved my vegan cheese? – Peace o’ Pie in Allston
In my free time, I like to club cows and steal milk meant for adorable, doe-eyed little calves from their udders. No. Not true. But I do eat real cheese. I have no qualms about dead animals and animal products. But I did, however, eat at THREE vegan places last weekend, with no morals attached. I'll talk about one now. So how is vegan pizza at relatively newly opened Peace o' Pie in [...]
The Blue October Pizza at Zing! Pizza
I love a well-made pizza pie as much as anybody else, but I often seek out pies that stretch the definition of pizza (see: my entry on Veggie Planet). If I'm going to go the traditional pizza route, I place huge stock in the crust, which should never be soggy from the sauce nor be overpowered by the cheese, and should have the right amount of crunch (especially thin crust) or a touch of buttery [...]
Free Uppercrust Pizza + Stalk My Appetite
I'm always excited about free food events, especially when it's something as delectable as thin-crust pizza from Upper Crust. Their barbecue chicken version is particularly sinfully tasty. I was really impressed by the slice size - basically a quarter of a pie per person, despite the fact that all I paid for it was printing out the forwarded email. I got their special, a tasty but mild mixture [...]
Oggi’s Special of the Day Slice
Lunch, after finishing 1/3 of my paper. When you have a food blog, eating food seems strangely pointless if you don't take a photo of it.
Delightful, delicious Veggie Planet Pizza
Veggie Planet has made me sing songs of joy ever since I first visited a few months into freshman year and tasted the sweet revelation that is Lunch for Henry. Whenever people ask me my favorite restaurant in Harvard Square, the answer is invariably Veggie Planet... I prefer the cramped climes and uneven, sometimes crappy service to slick bars and charming beverage directors. It is the most [...]
The Best Pizza in New York?
So this slice here from Bleecker Street Pizza is supposed to be the best pizza in New York, as declared by the Food Network, New York Post, and a whole bunch of other places. I didn't go here on purpose. I was just wandering around the downtown area and passed by the sign, so I knew I had try it out. (Despite not being hungry at all.) The pros: the employees were incredibly sweet. I'm not sure [...]
