Pizza Month 2019

Pizza Month 2019
October is National Pizza Month. In order to observe this month "the right way," I intend to eat at least one slice of pizza every day of it. I hope to learn from past experience (Pizza Month '02'03'04'05'06'07'08'09'10'11, '12'13, '14, '15, '16'17, '18) and make Pizza Month 2019 not just the latest, but the greatest 31 Days of Pizza known to [this] man.

My 2019 pizza campaign involves trying out a lot of New York City area recent pizzeria openings, taking day trips to Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and less convenient parts of New York State.  Later in the month, my wife and I are going to visit Puerto Vallarta (PV), Mexico which isn't considered a pizza hub but I'm looking at chilling on the beach with some slices of the best pizza PV has to offer.  Please keep the recommendations coming!

My rules are clear, and I am determined to adhere to all three of them. They are…
(1) Eat at least one slice of pizza a day
(2) With at least one other person
(3) At a different pizza place each day


As with past years, I encourage everyone reading this to eat pizza every day of October as well. If you can't stomach 31 days, then settle for 30 (or 29, or 28…) Also, if you are in the NYC metropolitan area, know a great place to eat pizza, and don't mind the company…then please invite me along! No matter how you plan to observe National Pizza Month 2019, always feel free to follow me in my pursuit of the 31 days on this journal. For a preview of what is to come, you may want to view the archived Pizza Months Past (2002 - 2018) journals as a reference.

Feel free to follow my progress here!

Slicey Award Arrives at Via 313

Slicey Award

At long last, I returned to Via 313 - Austin's Detroit style pizzeria - to deliver the 2016 "Best of Texas" Slicey Award. I even got to meet one of the owners of the pizzeria Brandon Hunt.

When at Via 313, one must eat pizza.  And so I did.  
"The Detroiter"
New location that opened up since my initial visit.  Check it out.  It's very convenient.  Just walk, ride-share, bike-share, or scotter-share over to East Austin and look for the Slicey award.  Congratulations, Brandon, Zane and the Via 313 crew!
