Vinny's New York Pizza
Brace yourself: There's no Vinny at Vinny’s New York Pizza. Sorry. They thought "Vinny" sounded Italiany and new yorky. They also say their pizza is true NY-style and w/ a name like Vinny’s, who are you to argue? But hang on, they’re making their own dough/sauce, the crust's reportedly thin, and for now it's BYOB, so maybe slack can be cut. Owner Celia Lopez took over Vinny's from colorful Frankie Carabetta, of Manhattan Bar, Knox Street Pub, Corner Bar, and Rocco’s pizza (next to Club Babalu). Is there all of a sudden a lotta pizza @ knox-henderson?4447 N. Central Expry. (next to Vermillion) 214-720-0333

Woo Hoo! Even more pizza!
is that cat dead?
i've tried it...not thrilled, but it wsan't horrible. all they had to drink when i was there was a few cans of four different soft drinks. no ice, even. bah!
i didn't have high hopes... but excellent to get your first-hand report
emmjay is back! by popular demand! (some other commenters have been awaiting your return.) and re: links, i (stupidly) devoted TWO HOURS to the links today, so your positive comments are appreciated
TG, isn't this the place next to Vermillion?
yes dean. i intended to put that in the description and forgot. thanks for reminding me
THAT CAT WOULD LOOK BETTER WITH SOME TOMATO SAUCE.
Well I see it all the time but have never been in. I can't possibly go to every pizza place out there, though I'd never heard anything (good or bad) about Vinney's, until now. So far, we have one so-so.
i'd vote for those free-for-all fridays. i'm sure we come up with something on our own that would be more interesting than another pizza place or starbucks
good to have emmmjay back.
is that tina person that wrote the "all of a sudden" lambast really paula rock?
Yeah, I was a bit put off by that Tina Blue piece, too. I couldn't believe she wrote that no native English speaker would ever say, "she was hit with a car." Well, if I saw a giant pick up a car and slam it up against a woman's head, I would say she was hit WITH it, not BY it. That Blue just has a total lack of imagination.
tomato sauce is for dogs with bland palates. i like my cats in a jambalaya or etouffee
mehitabel once forgot and left a bunch of new kittens on a beam and they all fell off and died. that cat had the worst luck with her babies, but she always put on a happy face
i liked the new york-style pizza link. i have to get one of those quarry tiles.
TG: I agree with others that you work hard and deserve more time off to pursue your other, paying work, But instead of a free-for-all on Friday, which with twisted's presence might actually evolve into a free=for=all, why not Recipe Fridays? We know you're a talented cook and pastry chef. Probably some nyce visitors also cook and bake. So you give us a recipe, and we discuss it, give our own version, or whatever. If Plano Guy is still around, he could even put it in for you. Personally, I'd love to have one of emmmjay's recipes. I know she must be a fabulous cook to have such a food savy daughter.
I like that idea, Charlotte. Perhaps TG could alternate the posting of the "lead" recipe among commentators.
would love to have your recipes kirk, but some of us are not as sophisticated at blogging as you. responding is easy, but i don't know how to do a lede-off item.
I got your recipes right here!
something i should've done a couple of days ago ... i did not want to appear immodest but one nice tout deserves another: the highly esteemed tristram.shandy blog sent NYCE some nice words so NYCE sends 'em back
oh, wanda, we hardly knew you!
did d.b. just fall out of another plane or something?
i think he was referring to teresa's mention on that tristram.shandy blog. didn't make much sense to me either.
I gast some hunnie for my homies.
You wanna taste?
lil' kim needs a mouthful of lava
stop hatin', no more drama. Holla if ya feel me!
Speaking of recipes, I used to make a mean pizza from scratch, but now I'll take some dough help from a good pizzaria and take it from there.
But if I remember, it started out with bread flour, yeast in warm water, salt, some secret herbs and spices, and a little club soda (or beer). It made for a really good dough.
You need to scroll down on the Tristram Shandy blog, and you'll see that it devotes an entire item to "Teresa Gubbins".
The only good shandy is 1/2 lager and 1/2 lemonade. Or 7Up as you colonists call it.
harbo: are you out there? you said you were going to blog, but I haven't recognized your wry wit in the comments I am seeing. I mean, no way you could be lil' kim or these other losers that are posting. gimme a sign.
wow. i bet "she" also insists on sitting so that her dominant, i.e. stabbing hand, is positioned for attack. that is, if she is right-handed, she makes sure any compation sits to the left. if she is left-handed, visa versa. i once had a wife like She, and you don't want to fool with her!
david, i tried to folo you blog link and it is the pits.
twisted mongrel and catahoula are just jealous because they don't have the grace and balance to loll on a beam like cats do,
these pizza items also are the pits.
HERE'S MY RECIPIE FOR CAT SAUSAGE:
1 MEDUM CAT, SHREDDED
9 CUPS FENNEL SEED
1 SMALL BIRD

ONION
ANOTHER CAT, SHREDDED.
ROLL CATS IN FENNEL AND CHOPPED CELERY AND ONION. EAT BIRD. STUFF CAT MIXTURE IN HANDY CAT INTESTINE. EAT!
mutt: wouldn't a nice bechemel go well with that recipe?
That Bobby Flay couldn't grill a boudain if his life depended on it, y'all.
hit the road jack!
emmmjay: are you a fan of thin or thick crust pizza? do you like exotic toppings or are you pretty much a plain cheese pizza kind of girl? finally, do you have to have your daily fix at *$$$?
emmmjay: don't pay any attention to georgie porgie. we try not to get too personal on this blog.
tg: you're really not going to be here Friday??? WE WILL MISS YOU!!!
what a neat comment, emmmjay. tg is lucky to have you for a mother (and i bet your hair is not as blue as hers or that you don't get your morning caffeine fix at starbucks)
in case you are gloating tereese, my mother also thought i was a genius!!!
actually "ma" was me, just some form of glitch that slips by us people of genius.
i thought it was sort of sweet to have a ma posting. to discover it was d.b. was disconcerting. to say the least.
you know cats go really well on thin-crusted pizzas. gotta take care to remove all those sharp nails first.
my significant other says i didn't make it clear that cats are not good on thick-crusted pizzas. that is because they are edible and totally delicious on their own (if your toppings all come from a can so that you know you are not going to be sucking up a poisonous mushroom)
uh oh, tereese, how are you going to get around your mom's MOST ACCURATE assessment of starbuck's coffee?
don't worry, emmmjay. i'm sure tg will find a way to weasle out of it.
You go off for the day, and all kinds of lunatics post on here!

SBux is the reason I love Chai and the frappucino thing is good, but I could live without their straight up coffee. The coffee at Borders is better plus you get one free refill in house. Free refills are the goods.
Send some of that pizza to Fort Worth, will you? We'll make a trade: a dozen barbecue joints for one good pizza place. Please!

I went to Vinny's and urm, well, TG, you already know what I think, but for the rest of you, here goes.
It was a few weeks back and two friends called and said that's where they'd be eating. At first, I thought they meant Fireside Pies (would have been an excellent choice), but it was Vinny's.
I get there, say hello, and we order. One really big hamburger pizza with everthing on it, and a smaller, healthy (as healthy as pizza can be) one with grilled chicken and stuff.
Neither were very good and not very NY style. There is no Vinny and maybe that was the problem. To be fair, the pizza tasted better than the box, which is my new yardstick.
It was better than Isabella's, but not as good as Sal's. I'd rather have Papa John's as they have better sauce.
