About the Journal
An independent food journal about pizza, Italian-American cooking and the culture around them.
Northern Blvd Food Journal is an independent, English-language food publication launched in October 2026. We write about pizza first — dough, sauce, cheese, ovens and the techniques that make a home pie worth eating — then about the Italian-American dishes that share its table and the history, pizzerias and restaurants that make the food culture interesting.
What you’ll find here
- Pizza & Recipes — recipes and technique guides, from New York-style dough to crisp crusts in a regular oven.
- Italian-American Food — red-sauce classics written for home kitchens.
- Food Culture & Restaurants — sourced stories about pizza history, notable pizzerias and famous restaurants.
How we work
Recipes list exact US and metric amounts, oven temperatures in Fahrenheit and Celsius, and the visual cues that tell you when something is done. Food-safety numbers come from the USDA and similar authorities. History and restaurant stories are built on sources we link to, and when a popular story is disputed we say so.
We don’t publish invented restaurant visits, interviews, ratings or reader reviews, and we don’t accept payment for coverage. The full rules are in our editorial policy.
Who is behind the journal
Articles are published under the byline “Northern Blvd Food Journal Editors.” Every piece is checked against the sources it cites before it goes live, and the journal is responsible for everything published under its name. We would rather credit the team plainly than invent chefs or credentials we don’t have.
About the web address
This domain, ilovenypizzaofnorthernblvd.com, previously belonged to I Love NY Pizza of Northern Blvd, a pizzeria at 336 Northern Blvd in Albany, New York. The restaurant announced on its website that it would close permanently on August 11, 2023, after 17 years, and local outlets reported the closing. The journal has no connection to that business or its former owners: we don’t sell food, take orders or use its menu or branding. We kept the address because it describes the kind of place we like to write about — a neighborhood pizzeria — and you can read more about the local scene in our piece on pizza culture in Albany.
