They also have a second store in Brentwood, run by Manny's adorable little brother Joey. Allegedly, the secret to their dough is NYC tap water. I don't know if that's true, but I do know the pizza is awesome. Here in Nashvegas, you can get a real NYC slice at Manny’s House of Pizza in the Arcade downtown.

It's the one thing I miss about living in the Northeast. Every Friday night we'd hit Vesuvio's Pizzeria in Hazleton, PA and order by the slice. If I try and do that here in Mississippi, people think I'm nuts. Oh man…Pizza by the slice. It’s the one thing I miss about living in the Northeast.

And my pizza by the slice would have crushed red pepper flakes and not the granulated garlic, but we'd probably both enjoy our slices nonetheless. :-) Out here on the Island there were submerged sections (I live at the end of the Southern State) but, thankfully, our neighborhood fared well. Sorry you had to head out in downpour that foryour slice! Thanks for standing in for Deb, Jocelyn!

It brings me back to 1975 when I left NY. I lived in Queens, NY for almost 10 years, and my sister and I used to go to the pizza parlor and get our slices at lunch time. We couldn't leave school at lunch but we managed to do so and eat them with a coke ! Now I live in my country, Spain, and here we also have pizza, but the taste has nothing to do with the ones I ate in NY. Thank you for bringing these memories from so long ago.

I took a week long adventure to NYC a couple years ago and made sure that sampled the pizza more than once to make sure I was getting the authentic experience. To my surprise, the pizza and bagels that I get here in Wilmington are just as good as what I found in NYC. So fear not, they do exist. The trick is to stay out of those corporate joints and find someone local. Jocelyn, nice to meet you! So sweet of you to keep us entertained while Deb is on vacation! I'll have to admit, when I read this post, I seriously considered finding a NY style pizza for dinner and dumping garlic all over it. Mmm. We have a place here called Slice of Life that has crushed fresh garlic as a topping choice. Oh my, it's wonderful. C – I live in NC and have come across places that make NY style pizzas.

That was...fun. Even worse than the torrential downpour and flooding were the crazy winds that were blowing my car all over the road. At least you have the tall buildings to block that. But I did get to have good pizza while I was in NJ! Seriously, I had no idea I'd miss it so much when I moved to DC. I just can't understand why no one outside of NYC, NJ, or Philly (and probably Chicago, but I've never been there) can make a decent slice!

The powdered stuff is fine grind and the granulated is just that--little grandules. I prefer the grandulated garlic my self or the minced garlic. That can be found in a jar and goes in the fridge after opening. That one is very easy to measure with your measuring spoons and it is easier than chopping garlic. I will use the grandulated for soups, stews, and anything else I would just sprinkle salt on (have put salt shaker up high so I have to think about it before I grab it). The minced is used for the other things. I made a garlic butter to use for a grilled cheese. It was good. I just love this site. rosie Granulated garlic is wonderful stuff.

You will always get a fresh slice and there's something almost magical about thier pepperoni. OK granted, that most of the time I grab a slice there its like 1am, and I've had a few too many and am waiting on a train and only pizza will sustain me thru the night.
