Putting the new pizza oven at Oratamin to good use. And a beautiful sunset to boot.
Some success with the pizza oven at Oratamin! + a couple of Lewis pics from the porch.
A holiday lunch at Porta — and a goodbye to our food editor Susan, who is (happily!) retiring. Food was terrific. Company was lovely. We will miss Susan.
The famous Kinchley’s! Around since 1937, it’s been serving some of the best thin-crust pizza in the region for 80 years. Cracker-thin, and just as shatteringly crispy. Even though I am on my low-carb regimen, I had to have a […]
What a wonderful, warm winter day to visit Arthur Avenue! We walked over from the New York Botanical Garden — and almost stopped to slurp a few raw clams at Cosenza’s. Decided against it, though, in favor of wood-fired pizza […]
After our morning trip to Bear Mountain, we headed home for a lazy Boxing Day. We did a big — 100 piece! — puzzle, a Christmas gift from Sarah to Sam. Then Hunna dusted off his homemade pizza recipe and […]
Marta was so popular when it opened, it was mobbed no matter what time you went. You were lucky to get a table at 11 p.m. See our previous visit to Marta in Dec. 2015: Pizza at Marta. Now, while […]
No one at work could believe the size of this pizza slice. Two feet at least! So everyone had to document.
I believe you’re all aware of my fondness for Don Antonio’s pizza. The one in midtown. My go-to pre-theater spot. Well that restaurant is indirectly related to the new Porta Napoli, a Neapolitan pizzeria and wine bar that opened in […]
While the pizza momentum in New York has been building for years now, the quality pies have mostly been Neapolitan in nature: cripsy, yes, but also puffy and slightly chewy. Enter Marta, Danny Meyer’s latest venture with Maialino chef Nick […]
Our final meal in Minnesota, wherein Greg, Mark and Bob make killer pizza in Bob’s backyard pizza oven. Absolute win! Eight balls of dough, and lots of fixin’s. Bob’s brother, Brian, and his wife, Carol, sit with Doris at […]
Hunna is on a pizza kick again. Yay for us! This one was made with the Roberta’s dough recipe, but in a sheetpan and topped with Hunna’s homemade sauce and some crumbled sausage. Delishy.
It’s been ages since we had pizza at the Nanuet Hotel! The place has been around forever (the 40s maybe?); I remember going there with my high school soccer team! The food was delicious — and cheap! For a […]
Mark recently gifted Greg with a baking steel, and for its maiden voyage, we tried it out on the grill. Looks pretty good in the photos, but the method needs work. The steel just got too hot and the pizza […]
Greg’s been working on his pizza dough recipe for a while now, and we think it’s pretty good. But when Sam Sifton’s article “A Little Pizza Homework” came out in the New York Times, he was still eager to try […]
An early Saturday night out at Mountain House for pizza. It’s been a while! Sam places her order: Casear salad: Breaded zucchini sticks. (Nah. Mostly bread.) Pizza: Somebody enjoys her ‘za: Sam and mom:
Greg’s best pizza yet. Really. And afterwards, an evening of Blazing Saddles with Irene, Kris and Tom on the big-sheet TV. Good times.
A last-minute night out with Kelli led to wood-fired oysters and creamy burrata with greens. And yes, some of the best pizza around. Here’s our supper at The Parlor Dobbs Ferry. (For other coverage of The Parlor Dobbs Ferry, check […]
A treat! Trae was in town! And indeed, he’s moving to town, so he’ll be here even more often! We couldn’t be more thrilled to hear that Trae found a job and will be moving to New York sooner than […]
I’ve heard there have been lines out the door for the pizza at The Parlor, David DiBari’s new restaurant in Dobbs Ferry. But I went a couple of Thursdays ago: there were plenty of open tables and it was easy […]
Irene and I made an unusual, but delicious, choice for pre-theater supper this time around: we stopped for dinner at the Filling Station on 9W on the way down to the city, intead of eating when we got there. Pizza […]
My hunna makes a killer pizza. Tonight is no exception. Basil and tomatoes from the garden, fresh mozzarella, too. Fabulous.
An adventure in the city, with a walk on the High Line and a pizza lunch at Artichoke Basille, which does New York-style pizza right. Here’s a look at the photos. Here’s a stop to see “Untitled” by […]
An early supper at the ranch: takeout from Cassie’s and the last of this lettuce crop from Sour Cherry Farm. (More is on the way!) The cousins all sat together. Cuties. Laurie! No photos of Sondra, Leigh or Greg […]
Sarah and I went to see Peter & The Starcatcher (thumbs up!). Of course she had to taste the famous (at least here on SCF) Don Antonio pizza. (Also a thumbs up!) This version has prosciutto, basil, tomatoes, mozzarella, and […]
Before a performance of “Sontag: Reborn” at the New York Theater Workshop, Boo and I shared a few dishes at Gemma, her favorite go-to restaurant for when you don’t to think about where you want to go-to. It’s a cute […]
We haven’t been doing too much dining out with Sam lately, but we thought we’d give it a shot on an early Sunday evening. All went well, though I must admit I was busy enough during dinner to forgot to […]
After trying the lemon pizza at o lar and then seeing on Small Bites that David DiBari was also serving it from his DoughNation pizza truck, I did a little investigating into the history of the dish. Turns out, they’re […]
Let’s try something new today, kids! A photo gallery! Here’s a look at my trip to Coals in Port Chester. You can read the entire post over on Small Bites, but here’s a look at the photos. Verdict: Thumbs up!
I think — I’m not absolutely certain, but I believe — that this is the first date Greg and I have gone on where we left Sam home with a babysitter. We have gone out and left her with a […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
