He's not retired. We were happily surprised to get a phone call from Chris a few minutes ago. He sounds upbeat and he assured us that he's still fully connected to Pizzeria Bianco. He told us that his brother continues to make the dough, and Chris is actively involved with the business on a daily basis. He's taking a break to deal with a health issue and, "get my head out of the oven" for awhile. His staff is doing as great a job as ever. Chris asked that we spread the word that he's taking care of himself and Pizzeria Bianco, and he's grateful for the good wishes and support of his customers, friends, and all of us in the "pizza community." Whew. Glad to hear you're okay, Chris, and that you're taking care of yourself. If you haven't read our interview, Twenty Minutes With Chris Bianco, use the permalink below.

 As readers of our newsletter know, we were invited by Slice-meister Adam Kuban to a gathering of New York area "pizzerati" at Nomad Pizza in Hopewell, NJ. Twenty-six pizza fans got to chow down on some astoundingly good Neapolitan-style pies, talk pizza, and take pictures. Among the attendees were photographer Philip Given (whose ace shots of the event can be found on his blog, Scott Wiener of Scott's Pizza Tours, pizza fanatic (and limoncello maker) Paulie Gee, and a host of bloggers, webmasters, and significant others. We're sure Adam has a full list of URL's on Slice at the Permalink below.
 Our favorite moment was when the first pizzas were brought out, and at least a dozen cameras appeared out of nowhere, like a photographic Gunfight at the O.K. Corral! We're still writing the story of this pizzadventure - and editing the video. If you'd like to be among the first to read it, visit our site and subscribe to our free e-newsletter!
