Gotham’s Second Annual Pizza Crawl
On Tuesday night Insurance Doctor Robert Intelisano presided over his 2nd Annual Gotham Pizza Crawl.
Not only does he know where to go, but he knows the history, the recipes and stories that go with it. In fact, he even writes about it. He’s been (Pizza) published!
Last year he took a select group of Gotham members to lower Manhattan to sample and enjoy his choice pizza places and he didn’t disappoint. It was fun and delicious!
This year Robert led a group of 8 through the Rockaways, his Queens youthful stomping grounds. Three of us were returning pizza lovers: Yours truly, Robert and Westchester member Ben Palancia who enjoyed last year’s excursion so much so that he drove 2 hours to join us 🙂
This year’s crew (pictured) also included Jason Greenberg and his son Ben, Vincent Russo, David Abeshouse (my Wheelman for the day) and extra special guest, Robert Intelisano Sr.
To spoil the ending, it was wonderful and my only complaint was that there was far far too much food. So much so that we all took a package home (even the bread).
We made three stomach stuffing stops, ending at “Rocco’s at Roc Beach” where the food, wine and camaraderie took us over the top.
Rumor has it that Robert is considering an Astoria Pizza Crawl for next year. I know I’ll be there, no matter where it is.
This is a very special Special Event. You should be there too!
Thanks again Robert!!!
I don’t understand why you have Fred Klein submitting articles about things and places unrelated to Key West. When he is here, let him write about KW experiences but when there’s so much here that could be covered, why have someone writing about New York or New Jersey or Long Island. I know he’s Maggie’s father or some other relative but she’s no longer here. Please cover Key West things. Maybe ditch Fred until he comes back but I don’t want to read about pizza crawl related to a restaurant and people that have nothing to do with anyone here.
Fred is a snowbirder for over 20 years and we get many people who like his writings the beauty about our digital paper if you know it’s an article by Fred you do not have to click it. Enjoy the upcoming season.
