Paulie Gee

November 1, 2026 Johnny Prime Leave a comment

I’ve been meaning to try Paulie Gee’s in Greenpoint for a while, but I never got around to it. My wife and I were walking by their newish spot in the East Village so we stopped in to try a couple of slices.

We tried their Margherita slice, and their Freddy Pepperoni (L&B style, sauce on top, with roni cups).

The Margherita had too much flop, but the square slice was excellent. Great dough and crust. Nice bright sauce. I’d get that again, and possibly try some of the other interesting slices that they offer.

This slice joint in NOLA is serving up some great NYC style pies. I only took a photo of this spicy slice, but the other varieties were good as well. Apologies this was cut into four so that we could share.

Diamond Slice

Diamond slice is a new slice shop in Greenpoint. They really put some amazing looking pies together, so I had to go and give it a try.

I tried their standard slice and their hot honey, pepperoni and jalapeno slice.

Both were incredible. Thin, crispy, tasty and toasty. I will definitely be back to try their tomato garlic and vodka margarita slices.

L&B Spumoni Gardens

I finally made it over to L&B Spumoni Gardens out near Coney Island. My buddy and I took a ride out on our Zooz bikes and feasted.

I had the famous upside down Sicilian slice, which is unique because the cheese is under the sauce, directly on the dough.

This was awesome, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The dough itself was a little dense, but not enough to feel very heavy. It had a nice crisp on the outside. I also thought $4 was high, but not out of step with what other popular pizza joints are charging for a regular slice these days. And a Sicilian slice always feels more substantial than a regular slice.

The regular slice was … well … regular. You could get something on par with this at almost any NYC slice joint in town.

That said, it was still good to above average.

For dessert, the classic spumoni, of course. I got the small size for $5, which consists of chocolate, pistachio and cherry flavors.

This place is iconic, and an absolutely legendary NYC institution. I highly recommend a visit, especially on a nice summer day when you can sit outside.

I stopped in this little joint as I was riding around Sunset Park, and I have to say I was impressed!

I ordered a margarita slice and a grandma slice, and I had the guy warm them slightly and slice for me, so I could shovel them down my throat faster without getting shit in my beard.

I think I liked the grandma slice SLIGHTLY better, but both were awesome. Nice sauce, not too sweet, great crisp on the crust without being dry. I’d go back.

Roberta’s

I finally got a chance to try Roberta’s, and I have to say it was good!

I tried the pepperoni slice, and the “fire and ice” slice. I think I preferred the “fire and ice,” which seemed to be fresh burrata and Calabrian chili “bomba” style sauce. Incredible! Great crust, no flop, quality toppings.

L’Industrie Pizza

First, check out my Ride & Review HERE:

After learning about L’Industrie’s opening in the west village, I thought it was a good opportunity to finally try this place, as the typically long lines in Brooklyn would be bifurcated now that there is a second location for Manhattanites. We still waited about 15 minutes, which isn’t that bad to be honest.

Coming in at around $25 for four slices is absolutely absurd, but the slices were indeed excellent. This is a top three pizza spot for me now, for sure.

We tried a pepperoni, sausage and burrata slice; a fig jam, balsamic, arugula and burrata slice (named the “L’Industrie” slice); a regular pepperoni slice; and a white slice.

All were excellent, but I think one of the two pepperoni-involved slices was probably the best.

Next time I just want to try a plain slice and a burrata slice. No fuss. And I’ve still got to hit Mama’s Too (now open around the corner from this joint), L&B, and Lucali.

New Haven Pizza: Sally’s & Pepe’s

November 21, 2023 Johnny Prime Leave a comment

I finally got to try some of the famous pizza in New Haven. My buddy and I took a ride up and tried both Sally’s Apizza and Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana.

First, Pepe’s:

We tried the white clam pie, and their tomato and mozz pie.

Both were pretty good, but we liked the tomato and mozz pie better.

The award winning clam pizza was nice, but I feel like I’ve had better.

Next up was Sally’s:

Here, we tried the tomato and mozz pie, along with the potato and rosemary pie.

We both liked the tomato and mozz pie slightly better, but I have to say, I really enjoyed the potato and rosemary pie. It had a ton of flavor!

Over all, though, the classic was king. And between the two pizza joints, we liked Sally’s better than Pepe’s.

I’m still partial to NYC pizza, but this stuff was pretty good.

This new slice and pie joint on Avenue B near 14th Street serves up some really nice stuff. I went with the fresh mozz slice, and my wife went with this nice arugula and burrata Sicilian style slice.
