What do you think of when you think of food in NYC? Maybe a big steak, maybe whatever the latest trend is, but I'm betting it's usually pizza; a NY slice. Well, same. I haven't had a NY slice in years and it kills me. I have always been a "the skinnier the pizza the better" so for me NY pizza is leagues above deep dish. It's actually been the subject of many debates with Caleb's family because they just love their Chicago Giordano's and well, I just don't think I ever could. To me, pizza isn't about the base, it's about the toppings, so if the base can be as thin and light as possible then I'm onto a winner.
On Monday Caleb was going to be in NY for his latest album's release show party (buy the album
here) so I went & joined in on the fun. Literally flying into NY for 24hrs, I decided I had to find a couple of spots for not only myself, but for this blog. I've eaten at a couple of GF bakeries before in the city which I didn't go crazy over (and were before this blog) so I decided to scope out some new places.
Mozarelli's
I imagined myself lazily walking around the city in the sun finding my stops and taking my time ordering. Well, in fact, I somehow ended up on Caleb's press tour for the day, so this really affected my timing. Luckily one of his radio stops was right by the Flat Iron building (one of the only iconic NY buildings I haven't seen, that was on my list) which also, as it happens, was right by Mozarelli's!
