Feasting on the Pizza of the Seven Fishes

SliCE in Philadelphia has a new way to celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes, during which many Italian-Americans forego red meat on Christmas Eve.

SliCE gave out free samples to customers last Saturday and will feature the pie on its menu through Christmas Eve.
