interesting article about the owners of Dollar Slice and their new pizza chain Upside Pizza
What Mr. Grossman and his partners are trying to do at Upside Pizza, which opened in January on Eighth Avenue at 39th Street, is to approach the New York City slice joint with the same culinary rigor associated with top-flight chefs and white-tablecloth restaurants. (In that world, the chef decides how much garlic is enough, and only garlic in its natural form would be used.)
The most improbable thing about it all is the fact that Upside Pizza is owned by the same Brooklyn natives — the brothers Eli and Oren Halali — who own the 2 Bros. dollar-slice pizza chain, prized by New Yorkers, commuters and tourists for the cheapest, fastest lunch in the city. |
another interesting feature to this article is that it links the New York Times version of
"Best Pizza in NYC" from last November -- I don't remember if this was posted here - but we always enjoy a good Pizza debate on BBI --
Let the game rebegin!
