New York Magazine reports thatVancouver-based Papa Murphy’s has become the country’s fifth-largest pizza chain by serving up pies that (contrary to all logic) you cook yourself. Now Slice is following in their footsteps.
Slice, on the Upper East Side, has launched a line of “build your own pizza kits” that will satisfy all your take-and-bake urges. Buy them for $7.99 at Gourmet Garage, Fairway, Zabars, or Garden of Eden, and you get (in separate baggies, never frozen) two slices of whole-wheat crust, all-natural marinara sauce, and low-fat organic mozzarella cheese. Cook them for about five to eight minutes et voilà — way better than zapping a half-pound pepperoni-and-cheese Hot Pocket! Or more dignified, anyway…
