Patrick Stewart, a 72-Year-Old Man, Just Ate His First Slice of Pizza
New York Magazine ^ | 5/29/2013 | Dan Amira

"My first ever pizza 'slice'. Please note: the authentic NY fold," the Park Sloper tweeted today. How is this possible?

We don't know. It is incomprehensible that a man — particularly one who has spent much of his adult life in Los Angeles and New York — could go 72 years without ever consuming a single slice of pizza. Stewart does emphasize the word slice in his tweet, so perhaps he's eaten plenty of whole pizzas. Still, though. You'd really have to go out of your way to pull that off. One guy we know went so long without having tried pie that "not eating pie" became sort of his thing, and he embraced it, but we doubt that's what's going on here. Anyway, congrats, and nice technique on the fold.

Yeah, I noticed the fold hold, too. Holder ain’t the only one who’s lying to the cameras.

Are you saying only an experienced slice-eater could develop the fold?

New York and Chicago are the best places for pizza.


The Sicilian Restaurant I frequented in Germany made a decent pie. An Italian immigrant who set up shop in my new home town does a great job, too.

I’m 66 and I’ve never had a slice or a bite. In fact I haven’t had a taste of milk in 59yrs.

We have some surprisingly good pizza joints in Albuquerque, most, it seems, owned by expat NYC guys. The key is the number of restaurants... they all have ONE location. Try to get too big and the magic is lost.

A great native pizza place (voted best in the City) is down the hill from me in Tijeras proper next to Molly’s Cantina. Trail Rider Pizza... one oven in a single wide on a dirt lot. Advertized as “The best smelling trailer in the world”.

I have never understood pizza chauvinism. I’ve eaten plenty of New York pizza. Nothing special about it. Like anywhere else, it all depends on the pizzeria.

As a rule, I think pizza chauvinists are usually compensating for municipal inferiority complexes. Present company excepted, of course.

pretty crappy pizza id you need red pepper flakes

The hell you say! Red pizza enhances flavor, even on the best pizza, which Picard didn't actually have because he was in Manhattan and not Brooklyn.

I grew up in New York, Queens, actually, and the first time I had pizza was about 1958, when I was seven. There are certainly more varieties of pizza in New York. My wife was 37 when we married and she had never had Chinese or spaghetti, except Chef-Boyardee until she met me. I am about as ethnic as anyone from North Dakota, but I made scratch spaghetti sauce (and chili), she was definitely a meat and potatoes girl, but she did like pizza.

Clearly you've never eaten a New York pizza.

I have on numerous occasions and it is right up there with Chicago and Buffalo pizza, but certainly not better.

No, he’s engaged to a woman, but his friend Ian McKellen is going to perform the ceremony, and McKellen is gay.

You didn't get the connection with pizza (cheese) and milk (dairy).

But hey, don't let it bother you a lot of people pretending to be intelligent have problems with simple logic.
