DAY 12: OCTOBER 12th, 2017

LOCATION: Corner Slice (600 11th Ave, New York, NY 10036)

GUEST(S): Robin Rothman, Jenny Dumlao

ORDER: 1 slice of The Spicy Salami (Hot sopressata, chili bomba, tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and pecorino), 1 slice of White (Fresh mozzarella, ricotta, pecorino, grana, garlic, and black pepper) and 1 bite of Cheese Pie (Fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, basil, pecorino, and grana)

REVIEW: 
Cornering the Gotham pizza Market. Tucked in the north end of the Gotham West Market, the appropriately named Corner Slice offers some of the best bakery fresh square slices of pizza in the city. With a menu that consists of just four signature pies and a daily special, pizza makers quickly learn and master the proven recipes.  Patrons also benefit since the limited options mean fresher pies and fewer decisions. My choice was the Spicy Salami.  Layered with a chili infused tomato sauce, loaded with a blend of high quality fresh mozzarella and pecorino cheeses, and topped with spicy soppressata, the dough is then baked to a crisp flavor packed perfection. For the less spicy or meatless inclined, opt for the Cheese Pie. Combining three different cheeses, basil, and a savory red sauce, Corner Slice can be the Italian grandmother you never had.

MISCELLANEOUS:

1. It's truly, truly outrageous that both Jenny Dumlao and Robin Rothman love Jem and the Holograms. Jenny went to a JemCon dedicated to the old cartoon but more recently went to ComicCon and met Mark Hamill - while she was dressed as Princess Leia!  Yes, all three of us have our tickets to the new Star Wars movie which doesn't premiere for another two months.

2. While we are reminiscing about past pop culture, Robin Rothman wrote a musical for Troop Beverly Hills last year and it is amazing. #WhatAthrill
