Pizzalore

Did you know that Halloween is one of the busiest nights of the year for pizza delivery? Sylvia Rector just wrote all about it in the Detroit Free Press . I hope my pal, A Pizza Girl , is hanging in there. There are lot of strange types about on Halloween, lots of nutters. Happy Halloween everyone!

Check out this cute snack from Ellen Jacob and The Examiner. They are perfect for a Halloween snack. This is a great use of string cheese sticks too. Ingredients • English muffins • Pizza sauce • Black olives • Scallions • Red or green pepper • Cheese sticks or slices Instructions 1. Heat the oven to 350º F. For each mummy, spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce onto half of an English muffin (toast it first, if you like). 2. Set olive slices in place for eyes and add round slices of green onion or bits of red or green pepper for pupils. 3. Lay strips of cheese (we used a pulled-apart cheese stick) across the muffin for the mummy’s wrappings. 4. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the muffin is toasty.

Appy Entertainment has released a new game called  Zombie Pizza. For just $0.99 you can dish up brain and eyeball pizza to hungry zombies. The animations look great and I think this is a must have for pizza lovers this Halloween. You can download it at from the App store on iTunes or check it out at the APPY website .

My  best bud  Kelly posted this ridiculous necklace on my Facebook page. It is a 14K yellow gold slice with a couple of 3mm rubies for pepperoni. ALSO  The Richmond Tri-Cities area Little Caesars' are having a Halloween Costume Contest. the prize is FREE PIZZA FOR A YEAR! So of course my friend Will and I are diligently working on a pizza costume to blow all the other costumes our of the water! I'll follow  up with results after we win on  November 1.  

My friend Harris (AKA Saikyo78 who is also a Pizzalicious contributor ) found this crazy link explaining how and more importantly why Gary Busey and the rest of these kunckle heads are Pizzalicious. Apparently the men of the new season of Celebrity Apprentice were slinging pies at New York location of the small Famous Famiglia Pizza chain. Supposedly it was for charity, so, good for them.  From Moviefone : (Gary) Busey, Lil Jon and country star John Rich roved the streets outside hoping to get customers, who were looking to come in from the miserable weather outside. 'Partridge Family' member David Cassidy , baseball player Jose Canseco , 'Sugar Ray' frontman Mark McGrath and 'Survivor' winner Richard Hatch manned the ovens at Famous Famiglia Pizzeria, while Meat Loaf tended to the register. No word on what the female members of this year's cast were doing, but it was probably something quiet and unassuming.

My friend Alyssa posted this cute link to a ton of really interesting pizza box art . Of course I told her that many of them were in the collection of Scott Wiener of Scott's Pizza Tours. Check out this really cute one from Jojo's Pizza Inn as photographed by Jimmy Tyler.

Went on an outdoors adventure with some friends - a hike-in cabin in the mountains. We love to eat well, so we adapted our grilled pizza for the campfire. It was a lot different than we expected, here are some tips we learned to help your next back country adventure be as delicious as the scenery: (photo by Phillip Stearns) The Fire: our campsite had a grill rack that swung over the firepit- totally necessary for the pizza. The guys stoked the fire: hot coals, not flames, were what we needed, & it needed TLC to get there. The fire was a mix of fir & birch, downed wood from the area. The Crust : Trader Joe's premade white pizza crust. This easy cheat was a big help in the prep, thou one crust, stretched into two pies, was not enough food for four hungry hikers. Next time I'll bring two. Unlike in the oven or on the more even fire of the grill, we found the crust needed to be a lot thicker than normal to cook well. The first pie, a thin one, was a somewhat burn...

I wonder if Captain Picard ends every call to the pizza parlor with "That's an order!" I would eat pizza with Picard any day of the week. OMG. This is available for you to buy for me at Think Geek.

Since I was already trolling the icanhascheezburger universe yesterday I thought I would pop over to Epicute and see what they had going on with their pizza game. It isn't as tight as I had hoped for but there were some cute posts. Exhibit A: Pizza Cats So cute! Exhibit B: Pizza Hearts This is what my heart looks like for sure.

I saw these over at the Icanhascheezburger empire. Apparently these are actual quotes from Bieber's new autobiography. LOL!

My mom and older sister are in Vancouver, BC, Canada right now and are looking for a good pizza spot no doubt. I hope they find one and blog it when they get back! I was looking for recommendations on Slice and I came across this wacky oven that was originally posted on the blog, This Is Pizza . I have just added it to the list of pizzalicious links. This impressive oven is located in Marcello pizzeria in Vancouver. Their Neapolitan style wood-burning oven is in the shape of a sun with a face. I hope Mom and Rose get a chance to check it out.

I have spent the better part of the last month or so raising money for the Wayside Center For Popular Education . As part of their first annual fundraiser, The Wayside Cup the Center invited people to form teams and find creative ways to raise money and then participate in a field day event. The team with the most points would win. I formed Team Totally Awesome, and I have to say we were off to a great start. As team captain I pledged to raise $1000 and we made over $500 at our first fund raising event- a Cut-A-Thon hosted by the lovely ladies at Salon Bleu in Richmond. Next we had a very successful bake sale at the South of the James Farmer's Market. We parked our bake sale boat right next to our friends and teammates from Root Force Collective Farm. It was another success and that night we celebrated at the benefit show where B.Ultra & Basic (pictured), Pixeltank , and El Radon played their amazing music. Some very skilled hula hoopers from RVA HoOp Lovers also perform...

By: Videorose Pizzamoto is a mobile pizza truck in Brooklyn, NY. I've been meaning to try PizzaMoto when I see it around the city, at assorted street fairs , and finally got my chance on overcast Sunday's Atlantic Antic. It was definitely the highlight of the Antic (or maybe second to the vintage glass earrings I bought); hands down the best street pizza I've eaten. They bravely cart around a wood-fired oven , and they're slinging pizza into it as fast as they can to accommodate the steady line. Their $4 slices only come in 'plain', or it's perhaps a margherita? Some kind of delicious fresh mozz put raw in chunks on the pie that oozes across once baked, and a nicely tart and fresh-tasting tomato sauce . Best, once out of the oven, they finish it with a splash of olive oil ('Mmmm, drizzle" said the guy in line behind me). I top it with some oregano and we're good to go, fortified to survive the rest of the fair. It's no small fe...
