A pizza plate soaked in pizza grease, with a few key horse picks a day.
The grease never lies.
The Corner Sicilian: thick, square, with crispy cheese edges — the corner piece is the stakes race of the pizza box. Everybody wants it, only one person gets it, and today's plate came from right under one.
Pizza fact: a Sicilian gets its crunch from oil in the pan, so the bottom fries while it bakes. That extra grease is not a flaw — on this plate it's ink, and today's ink spelled out three Belmont names.
Grease reading: when the oil pools in a perfect, unbroken circle, the plate is confident. Today's pool never broke — neither did the picks.
Every day the pizza gets eaten, the plate gets read. Out of the whole card, a few key picks rise to the surface of the grease — those are the ones written here, each with the track it's running at. A fresh plate is served daily.
