Like many other restaurants and bars around town, Home Slice Pizza is featuring bands on their back patio starting this Thursday and going through Saturday as an alternative to the SXSW showcases. You can check out the schedule for yourself. Neal Pollack mentioned Home Slice in a recent blog entry about his appearance at the Velvet Spade last week. Their pizza’s better than the average sixth street crap, so check them out if you have the chance. All you gen-u-ine New Yorkers can tell us if it’s the real thing or not.
