I think it may only be available at lunch. I got a slice at lunch at the Tap house and it was great!

Apparently it is only available at lunch. I got my free slice yesterday at lunch and then I went back for dinner so my wife could try a slice but the server told us it was only served by the slice at lunch.

By the way the pizza was great! Crispy and foldable at the same time.
On another note... I was surprised about how few people were there taking advantage of the free slice promotion. There were maybe 20 people in the place at lunchtime?

If you'll look back up the thread to Tony's post, he pretty clearly said that slices are available only for lunch. The whole pie was a little more ambiguous ...

There was also an option to send a text... That is how my coworkers and I got the free slice.

Thanks Tony. Saw you on Fox in the Morning, the NY pie looked good... good enough for me to get one soon.

Nimbus Couzin wrote:Yeah, but it isn't the thing you want to have to drive to in order to get. Za's is across the street. No slices. Impellerzelli's is a few blocks. No slices. Did Boombozz have slices before? Again a few blocks. Sure if you go far enough someone will have a slice. I spend most of my time in a very small section of the city. A lot of Highlands people are the same way. Luigi's and Perfetto simply aren't on the beaten path for me (though Luigi's could be convenient at times).

Slices are a Brooklyn memory for me. Anywhere and everywhere. VERY easy to find. And cheap. And fast. Driving to get a slice would seem inherently wrong to me.

My thought is that many pizza joints simply don't want to deal with a customer for a three dollar purchase. They'd rather get you for twenty bucks (for a whole pie). Just thinking out loud.

Cheers!




Nimbus,

Impellizzeri's sells slices Friday and Saturday after 10pm with late night happy hour at the bar.

It doesn't work on cricket phones. Tried twice. Not complaining, but just so you know.

Perhaps I did not make myself clear - we were trying to buy a whole Brooklyn pie on Tuesday night. We were told it "was not in the computer yet" and we could not buy it. We had a regular crust that we enjoyed, jusr wondered why we could not get the Brooklyn after Tony said it was availible.

Suzi, I aplogize for the error, I had the put the cart before the horse on this one (spontaneous Italian here!). The Brooklyn Pizza Pie is now available to purchase by the whole (17 inch) everyday, ALLDAY, 7 days a week, or by the giant slice (mon-Fri 11-4) at the Taphouse Highlands and Springhurst locations.

We will begin late night slices very soon!

Best,

Tony

Ooh that is good news indeed. I had no idea.

Late night is about the only time I'm interested in a slice. . .

The Brooklyn slice is delicious! I had one for lunch yesterday.

And I'm pretty sure the idea of pizza by the slice was invented long before Ray's started offering it. :lol:

Better be more specific, Laura. In New York City, the Original Ray's has spawned several dozen street-corner imitators. That Ray, who most likely never got close to Louisville, may have been a pizza pioneer!

I was referring to Ray's Monkey House and its owner's insinuation that Boombozz was copying off him in their decision to offer by-the-slice. But you probably already knew that. :)
