Last week, Rachel announced the launch of Pizza by Certe’s Thanksgiving Pizza special featuring turkey meatballs, mashed potatoes with giblet gravy, butternut squash, and cranberries ($3.95 + tax). To be honest I was a little skeptical, but I headed over to check it out anyway, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.

Pizza by Cer Te has started offering Thanksgiving pizza this week, according to their twitter. Topped with turkey meatballs, mashed potatoes, cranberries, gravy and mozzarella, the slice sounds like the most delicious gut bomb ever! A call to the store told us the special is supposed to last through next week, and the slice will run you $3.95. If it’s anything like October’s special Tony Manero slice that Blondie liked so much, we’ll be stoked to try it. Has anybody tried this yet? If you have, let us know what you think in the comments!

Learn to Make Pizza by Cer té: Ever wanted to try making pizza at home? Why not start with the pizza from Pizza by Cer Te (on 56th btw. Park+Lex). The good folks over at Serious Eats posted a recipe the other day detailing how to make Pizza by Cer té's seriously good looking cauliflower "Merguez" pizza. Or you could always just buy a slice in person (we prefer the latter).

My last visit to Pizza by Certe (56th btw Park+Lex) not only yielded a slice of Tony Manero, but also something I had been seeking out ever since it popped up in the forums over the summer, fried spaghetti balls. Fried spaghetti balls are not frequent, but not regular, menu item meaning you might not get to score one every time you visit. I learned this the hard way having stopped by Pizza by Certe a few times looking for them. For those of you who did get to try the spaghetti sandwich from M. Wells and loved it, these should definitely be on your to-eat list!

Did you know that October was National Pizza Month? I didn’t. Not until I found out the Pizza by Cer Te (56th btw Park+Lex) was celebrating this underrated holiday by serving up a special pie all month long, The Tony Manero. That would be John Travolta’s character in Saturday Night Fever for you young’ins. This pie is special in a truly unique way: it’s a double-stack. Two margherita pies sandwiched together basically means you’re getting two of Cer Te’s crazy good pizza slices for $4. But does it really stack up?

Tomorrow is Earth Day, which also happens to be Pizza by Cer Te’s one year anniversary. So to celebrate their first year in business the first 200 customers of the day starting at 11:30am will score a free packet of basil seeds, a free pot (not that kind of pot you stoner), and a coupon for a free slice to be used on your next visit.

Half Off Pizza by Cer Te: It seems a day doesn't go by that we don't hear someone questioning the online coupon trend. We've got no idea whether it's good for restaurants or not, but a deal is a deal and today, InBundles is offering a $12 credit at Pizza by Certe (on 56th btw. Park+Lex) for $6. That's good enough for us.

Based on an ongoing forum discussion about cheese steaks in Midtown in the forums got my attention, and jogged my memory a bit. I recalled that Pizza by Certe had a menu item called the “Brooklyn Cheesesteak” ($8.50), which I’d been meaning to try. Try I did, and found that calling this thing a ‘cheese steak’ is a bit of a misnomer.
There’s cheese sure enough – gooey strands of mozzarella, which bind together tender strips of roasted peppers and tomato sauce. But there’s no actual steak in this sandwich. Instead, they use plump and fluffy meatballs, which turned out to be tremendously meaty, competently seasoned, and velvety smooth. It’s a tasty sandwich, but a cheese steak (in the traditional sense) it is not. Then again, with meatballs this good you don’t miss the steak.
