A pizza for Count Slima


[Photo of Count Slima by Walter Wlodarczyk]

Joseph "Count Slima" Williams worked for the Two Boots family for 30-plus years, starting with helping build the original location at 37 Avenue A in 1987.

He has retired from Two Boots ... and now the pizzeria has named a pie in his honor.

Starting today, you can grab a slice of the Count Slima, featuring bacon, andouille meatballs and tasso ham on a thick Sicilian crust...


Even if you don't see Slima playing pool at Sophie's (on Fifth Street between Aveue A and Avenue B), you can still see his artwork that adorns some of the walls there.

Still miss the original location. I grab a slice at what used to be their video rental store but it's just not the same... Will def check this new one out tho.

Sounds like a heart attack on a plate—but I am happy to see Slima getting more than his 15 minutes. I've known him for years—via CHARAS—and love him.
