Slicing up the Sicilian in Boston

Slice, a site devoted to all things cheesy and doughy, goes on a Sicilian Slice Crawl of Boston.

Slice is based in New York, so naturally their definition of Boston is "the North End and Harvard Square," but that's OK - more pizza at Romano's in Roslindale for the rest of us.

Via Alison.

What did Papa Gino's do to its pizza?

Blecched it all up, is what they did.

I admit it: I always liked their pizza. Sure, it was no Pizzeria Regina or DeNo's (or, for Suldog, no Pleasant), but it certainly did in a pinch and the wife, kidlet and I did our share to keep people at the Dedham outlet employed.

But now? For starters, the dough is yellow! How can pizza dough be yellow? Cooked, it has a different texture than real dough. Even the cheese tastes different, although that might just be my tongue recoiling from the "crust."

Wah.

They don't want Domino's delivering in Jamaica Plain

The Jamaica Plain Gazette reports on a packed Jamaica Pond Association meeting that told Domino's they're not welcome on Centre Street.

Among those in opposition: The owner of Zesto's Pizza, who said Domino's would create extra traffic on nearby streets (as opposed, presumably, to the traffic from his own deliveries). Also, one resident opposed the Domino's because pizza makes you fat and that's the wrong message to send to students at the Curley School a few blocks down the street.

The loudest restaurant in West Roxbury

There's something about Upper Crust pizza that's incredibly polarizing: People either seem to love it or hate it. The newest branch, 1727 Centre St. in West Roxbury, isn't going to change your mind. But if you do plan on frequent visits, consider investing in a pair of earplugs.

Meanwhile, Westie types jonesing for some shawarma will have to keep waiting. The King, i.e., Shawarma King south, has replaced the "Opening June 1" sign with a couple of hand-written "opening soon" signs on the door.

Whoever lives at 35 Bellevue Hill Rd. in West Roxbury probably shouldn't order a pizza any time soon

Boston Police have alerted West Roxbury pizza places that they need to dial Area E-5 detectives (617-343-4566) if they get any delivery requests from that address, following a robbery on Saturday:

The victim stated to police that 2 white males and 1 black male, all dressed in black wearing black ski masks, approached him in a threatening manner displaying knives. They demanded the victim give them his wallet and the pizza. The victim complied with the demands and the suspects fled from the scene on foot towards Washington St. Investigation revealed that the order for the pizza was not placed by anyone residing at the above listed address.
