Filippos on First ~ Pizza Gods Are Smiling

My erection for all things Filippos on First will not subside. It has been 4 hours, time to seek medical attention.

Time to turn the lights down low

Pizza Pants in Hobroken

Not sure I can explain these reader submitted photos.

Not sure I want to know.


HobokenSandwich is at a loss

Imposto's Pizzeria - Hoboken

Never had a slice here when I was not intoxicated.
Imposto's is generally known as one of the spots to hit for pizza when you are shitty drunk.

Big fatty slices covered with all kinds of stuff including pasta and processed chicken cutlets.
Yummy and gross.
HobokenSandwich is not yet intoxicated.

Pizza Pie in Manhattan? Who knew?

Totonno's Pizzeria Napolitano at 1544 Second Ave., New York, NY 10028 near 80th St. in Manhattan is a Coney Island landmark. The Upper East Side location is one of several in this family of coal oven establishments.

Did you know the Upper East Side is basically not connected to the rest of the island of Manhattan? It seems to be some bizarre geographic anomaly.

My primary take away is the crust. I could happily consume plain crust from this pizzeria with the shameful, hurried, vigor of a fat kid sneaking a stash of feel good treats to my hiding place for bedtime.
There are few things better than a slice in Hoboken. Pizza is the most popular health food in New Jersey, after all. Followed by sandwiches, fruit smoothies, and oriental food.

Some of the most notable spots in the Squared Mile include:
Benny T's
Filippos on First
Uptown
Grimaldis Brick Oven

The annual per capita consumption of pizza in Hoboken to roughly 40 lbs versus an annual average of 25 lbs nationwide.

Recently HobokenSandwich received an email from a very sick little boy who wanted to share his favorite pizza spot with me.

But it turned out the kid lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan which would have been very inconvienient since the UES is essentially the middle of nowhere. So HobokenSandwich was forced to ask the terminally ill child to "please make the effort to come to Hoboken, or else stop sending tear stained letters written in crayon because HobokenSandwich simply cannot make the 4 hour trek from the heart of Manhattan to the Upper East Side. It's not gonna happen, little guy, so give it up! Nobody likes a whiner."

After a few more letters, and a small neighborhood fundraiser held by the childs family and neighbors to subsidize HobokenSandwich (and a little something extra for the effort), yadda, yadda, yadda, here we are.

So this post is essentially a "dream come true" for little sick kid, whats his name. In that light lets all give Timmy, or Jimmy, or whatever a big round of applause for giving HobokenSandwich the kind of social validation that precedes lucrative sponsorship.

Imagine the positive effect on this childs health when from the confines of his bubble he discovers HobokenSandwich has been picked up by the Food Network, or the BBC, on the strength of this hearwarming piece of human interest. God bless the power of the media to connect us and make us all feel a bit more human.

If you know a terribly ill child who may or may not have long to live, please email us at sangweech@gmail.com to set up a heartwarming photo op.

If you cover expenses, and a little something extra for the effort, HobokenSandwich will come to the childs bubble, or iron lung, or whatever and pose for some promotional pictures and video. (please note: this is not an offer to eat with, or talk to sick children)
HobokenSandwich believes that some children are our future. Others not so much.

The case for "Pro-Life" as it pertains to Pizza

This story deals with adult subject matter and is intended for mature audiences.
The picture you see below is nothing short of a miracle. This pizza was unwanted. You see the order was for a (1) Margherita pizza, and a (1) Pepperoni pie.

It does not take a genetic engineer to see what happened here. There was a coupling of the Margherita and Pepperoni pies to create this "mixed" pie below.

"Nobody plans to be in this position, nobody wants to destroy a pie." said the local area pizza shop proprietor who asked to remain anonymous. "I mean, it was definitely early enough in the baking to make the choice to get rid of it, but that is not my nature. You just never know what that pie might turn out to be if you let it. Maybe I'm old fashioned, or something, but that is why we decided to have the pie and give it up to a customer for five bucks. It just seemed like the right thing to do. Plus, we got five bucks out of it."
