Over in comments on this week's review of Delancey, people are getting exercised about pizza:

wow. so what about via tribunali? or serious pie? or tutta bella? or flying squirrel? i'm all for anyone realizing a dream, but honestly, did their vision really spring from this much hubris? bringing something genuine to any part of seattle is a great enough thing on its own, but please don't thing that they are showing us the light. they are not...

Have you people ever been to New York? What are you talking about New York-Style pizza? First of all, this is wood fired pizza. Wood fired pizza is delicious, but it is not at all NYC-style pizza... Delancey clearly makes Neapolitan-syle pizza: It's wood fired, small pies, fresh, fancy, and local ingredients (including really good cheese). Don't get me wrong, it's great pizza, but it's not NY-style...

Floridian, I'll reserve judgment until I try Delancey's myself, but I think what "Ny style" means is a liitle less defined than you think it is. The pizza you are describing to me is "NY slice joint". However, NY Neopolitan is distinct from Naples Neopolitan, in that it tends to have a sturdier, slightly chewier crust, and be cooked a tiny bit more. Pizzas you get in Naples tend to have a very soft crust, and a floppy, almost soupy center that really is more suited to a knife and fork. So to me, "Ny style" can mean slice, or the firmer crusted neopolitan.

Read the controversial review and join the pizza fray here.

Also! It's easier than ever to get lucky at Dilettante on Broadway now that they have a bar ("a man and a woman sat as close to each other as legally possible, drinking the bar's namesake drinks and staring into each other's eyes from a distance of approximately four inches").

And! A game of find the fake wine-descriptors (angular? Chewy? Nervous? Pointy?) in honor of happy hour at Wallingford's Smash Wine Bar & Bistro.

Furthermore! A Chow Bio of the co-owner and chef of new crepe cafe Citizen in lower Queen Anne—people are saying that it's a really cute place, and commenter Cody says "that dude is hot as hell!!!!!"

Fresh in Chow tomorrow: Lindy West on the wonder that is dim sum at Chiang's Gourmet on Lake City Way; Bar Exam on the wonder that is happy hour at downtown's Sazerac; and more, more, MORE!
