Scott’s Pizza Journal
Here’s the latest from my blog and various other pizza writing…
- Grilled Pizza (Scott’s Pizza Journal) – My roommates won’t let me use the oven in the summer but the grill works just fine and it’s even faster! No need for special equipment, just skill.
- History of the Pizza Slicer (Serious Eats / Slice) – The pizza slicer is a houshold gadget, but who was the mad pizza genius who invented it? This article has some of the answers.
- Pizza Glossary (Pizza Today Magazine)- It’s frustrating when pizzeria menus use the same words for different things, or even different words for the same thing. I try to set it straight.

Fall Calendar – Fundraisers / Free NYPL Events
Get Your Learn On
Starting this month, I’ll be hosting a series of pizza talks at the New York Public Library. Discussions will involve pizza science and history with kid-friendly science demos at your local NYPL branch. Check out the full schedule here.
You should also mark your calendar for our annual Slice Out Hunger event on October 10 in NYC. All the best pizzerias in town send us pies and we make them available to you for $1 per slice. All proceeds go to City Harvest! We’ll also have our friends from Fizzy Lizzy and GreenBox on hand to make make the day possible. Check out our Slice Out Hunger event website for details.
In other fundraiser news, our homeslice Jason from I Dream Of Pizza will be hosting his annual NYC Pizza Run on September 15. Participate and help raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation!
There’s another great event happening around the country on October 12 called Slice of Hope. Our pals at Pizza Today Magazine organize this fantastic fundraiser for the Karen Mullen Breast Cancer Foundation in which your local pizzerias pledge to donate a portion of October 12 profits to help find a cure. Ask your local pizzeria if they are involved and if they aren’t you can help them join the effort by signing up here. Scott’s Pizza Tours is proud to be donating 10% of October public ticket sales to the foundation.
