Just off JFK St. is Pinocchio's, affectionately dubbed. Noch's by its patrons. The verb form is to noch--usage: It was Chinese deli night at the dining hall so around midnight I went noching (rhymes with toking). Noch's features a variety of subs and pasta in addition to pizza, but the real attraction is the square-cut, thick-doughed Sicilian-style slices. According to Manager Adam DiCenso, Sicilian slices of pepperoni have been the most popular item for years, but the newer tomato basil topping (my personal choice) is also doing well. Plain pizza is $1.50, Sicilian...
...decor at Noch's is kind of funky Italian. As DiCenso says, "the owners are pretty proud of their heritage," and it shows in the many posters plastered around the small restaurant. Live vines are twined about the ceiling. On one wall is a rather trippy mural that shows Pinocchio eating a slice of pizza and fleeing a whale.

Unless otherwise requested (and why would it be?) all pizza is sold with the famous sesame seed edge. Tommy's also sells subs--the chicken parmesean is a favorite but the tuna should be avoided--and great garlic bread...
...Look at the text, people. Bach didn't leave us many musical marking because he didn't have to. It's all in the text. Basses--storm up that chromatic scale on "Sie noch so brummen." Brummen means, well, movement, confusion, like the French brouiller, boulverser. Make beautiful German vowels people: "Sie noch". And sopranos, pull that C-natural in measure 15 for everything it's worth. It makes the most ghastly chord...
