Synopsis

Since its arrival on US shores in 1905, pizza has risen from an obscure ethnic food to an iconic symbol of American culture. In August 2009, Colin Hagendorf set out to review every regular slice of pizza in Manhattan, and his blog, Slice Harvester, was born. Two years and nearly 400 slices later, he'd been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the Daily News (New York), and on radio shows all over the country.

Suddenly, this self-proclaimed punk who was barely making a living doing burrito delivery and selling handmade zines had a following. But at the same time Colin was stepping up his game for the masses (grabbing slices with Phoebe Cates and her teenage daughter, reviewing kosher pizza so you don't have to), his personal life was falling apart.

A problem drinker and chronic bad boyfriend, he started out using the blog as a way to escape—the hangovers, the midnight arguments, the hangovers again—until finally realizing that by taking steps to reach a goal day by day, he'd actually put himself in a place to finally take control of his life for good.

I'm really glad the editor of this book didn't turn around and say, "Colin, you can't write a book that sounds like this, what are you even saying," (or maybe they did, and then changed their mind, I don't know the intricacies of how this book came to fruit.) Slice Harvester is an unlikely Good Book......more

Goodreads review by Hollowspine on October 21, 2015

Slice Harvester started as a drunken idea, something that probably would have just fizzled out if it weren’t for some good friends and a lot of determination. Colin Atrophy Hagendorf decided to eat a ‘regular slice’ at every pizzeria in New York City a feat which took him about 2 years to accomplish......more
