Free Brooklyn Pizza Pie

by JD Barger » Thu Sep 24, 2009 4:04 pm

I just received this on my Twitter page:

We are giving away FREE SLICES next week. You have to sign on at TWITTER/BOOMBOZZ to receive your FREE SLICE mobile coupon. Set Mobile device to the ON position to receive your FREE SLICE via text.

I figured us offering slices at Ray's would get locals to start doing slices. I didn't think this fast though! (we started about four weeks ago)

About time!!

Spinelli's and Luigi's have been doing slices for years.

Yeah, that one just gave me a little thought balloon reading "WTH" too, Nimbus. I'm sure your stuff is fine, but as others said, Luigi's and Spinelli's, as well as Perfetto and several short-lived predecessors in that Plainview space have been selling by da slice for years. Nice, it is, but new it is not.

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!

I don't care who started the fade, I just hope no one ends it.

Didn't Boombozz start doing it several MONTHS ago at another location? I'm fairly sure this had been on the table for the taphouse for a while ...

The Springhurst location has been doing whole Brooklyn pies for a few months. It wasn't on the menu and I don't think it was available by the slice. It is currently tied with Luigi's for my favorite pie in Louisville.

My mistake. Could have sworn I read about it being sold by the slice at some point.

We went to the Taphouse last night with the express interest in having the Brooklyn. Our server informed us that they were not selling it yet. We were puzzled but had a lovely dinner none the less. When will you be selling it, Tony? :?

Weird - Tony's message above says it is available at the Taphouse, at least for free giant slices. . .
