research note

New York pizza by the slice with 'dozens of slices to choose from'; opened Oct. 1997 by the Great Dane's owners; after Samara Kalk's June 1999 remark that the slices had slipped, Sal's ran an Onion ad buying lunch for readers who wrote in its defense (142 did); listed for sale in Pizza Today in Aug. 1999 and taken over by Nafi Elmazi, who reopened it as Casa Bianca in Sept. 1999.
