It has a superbly chewy crust and is covered with fresh champagne grapes, fennel seeds and a drizzle of olive oil. I know it sounds kind of funcky, but it really is incredible. Cut into little slics and served with some cheese its an exceptional app with drinks. My current favorite yum. The signs say its going to have a limited run based on availability of the grapes. It also has a special Italien name which I've forgotten and I think its tied to an Italien festival/holiday. Anyway, I highly recommend checking this out while it lasts. Surprised this hasn't been posted about yet - or if it has I missed it and apologies to all.

Sat Oct 04 18:58:42 -0700 2008 4082261 10216 Lucia 3 4082444 i think they are know as "Roman-style pizzas". Sat Oct 04 21:46:04 -0700 2008 4082263 57300 nativeNYer 1 5049880 Its back! Had my first (and second) slice yesterday. Still unbeleiveable. Proper name is schiacciata d'uva (see link below for info and photo). Amazing with a hunk of blue cheese and a glass of port for dessert. Strongly recommend all to try if you can hit a Grandaisy easily. The one on 72nd Street still had plenty around 6 PM yesterday. Its usually around for a month or so during the early fall. http://www.grandaisybakery.com/pizza_schiacciatta.html Tue Sep 22 13:23:18 -0700 2009 4082151 154488 Almondine 2 5049982 Hooray! Tue Sep 22 13:50:49 -0700 2009 5049880 10936 kathryn 2 5050194 tried a free sample last week. DIVINE!

I have to admit that I wasn't too crazy about the schiacciata d'uva on its own. I could eat a couple of bites and then it got monotonous. But the blue cheese and port combo sounds so good!

I love the fennel and grape combo and pair it with some Greek yogurt and honey. Thu Sep 24 08:04:09 -0700 2009 4082151 41798 windycity
