Tony’s Italian Restaurant & Pizza—Fine Fare in Edison, NJ
Like most urban areas in the Pizza State, the Middlesex County township of Edison has more places to get a slice of pizza than business logic should allow. However, they all seem to survive, and since the Pizza Snob’s brother now calls Edison home, here’s a warning that it’s only a matter of time since […]
Paradise Slice Pizza Shop — A Touch of New York in London Town
There are some who think that I punish myself by looking for a great New York slice of pizza outside of New York City. Yes, I agree that NYC is where the mostest of the bestest can be found. However, in this space I have documented some fab slices elsewhere in the USA. Most come […]
Camden Pizza Co.— Great Pizza at London’s Camden Market
The last few times I have been in London, I’ve made a Saturday morning visit to the sprawling and splendid Portobello Road Market. Looking to do something different this year, a local mate suggested I try instead the somewhat similar Camden Market in lively Camden Town. So, I did just that and thoroughly enjoyed my […]
Pizza Union in London—Fast & Fantastic Pizza!

Slice and More – Pizza in My London Neighborhood
Becoming a creature of habit leads me to things like staying in the same flat whenever I travel to London. For several years now, I’ve been staying just off Old Street in the area known as Shoreditch. It’s a convenient lively area that has come to feel like my London home away from home. One […]
Homeslice Neal’s Yard—Fantastic London Pizza and Location
Those of you who have travelled to London from the Colonies probably know this drill. You fly through the night across several time zones, and when you arrive, your body is still at midnight while nature and the airline try to trick you into thinking it’s morning. You fall for this game, but next must […]
Little Italy on 33rd–Great Midtown Manhattan Pizza for Tourists
Finishing up some serious stuff in my favorite city of New York, I took a lunch time stroll from Times Square south to catch a train back to Jersey. Pizza on the way was of course an objective although the tourist-laden Midtown area of Manhattan tends to be challenged for a good slice. Recalling a […]
Phil’s Pizza – Another Perfect Slice in Lower Manhattan
In the guise of his alter ego, music-blogger Music City Mike, the Pizza Snob has spent many an evening enjoying live music at Lower Manhattan’s City Winery. I must have passed a darkened Phil’s Pizza on Varick Street (right where it turns into 7th Avenue) a dozen or so times, wondering if I will ever […]
Anthony’s Coal-Fired Pizza—America’s Best Pizza Chain?
One day, while sitting in a mini-Starbucks at a Barnes & Noble in Edison, NJ, I glanced out the window and spotted Anthony’s Coal-Fired Pizza. Thinking it sounded a bit unusual to see a coal oven in a location other than Manhattan or Brooklyn, my friend Google told me that ACFP was a chain and […]
