The Pizza BeltPosted Feb 21st 2006 10:00AM by Nicole WestonFiled under: East Coast, On the Blogs, The History of..., Food Quest, Did you know?, America Slice NY, the blog that revolves around pizza, has featured an
excerpt from Ed Levine's Pizza: A Slice
of Heaven. This particular excerpt concerns the existence of the pizza belt, that swath of
America along which the first and best pizzas in the country originated. Essentially, the "belt" seems to
have spread along patterns of southern Italian immigrants, coming into Ellis Island in New York and gradually spreading
over towards Boston. Stretching over a 33 year period, the American pizza
timeline clearly shows the launch of some of the mainstays of pizza-dom. Slice also has a textual account
of the
history of pizza in America, contributed by Mr. Levine.
