Menlo Pizza & Subs—Yes, Jersey is the Pizza State!
If I was a singer-songwriter, I’d write a song about the greatness of New Jersey pizza. I can even imagine a massive crowd at MetLife Stadium joining in with me on the chorus singing “Yes, Jersey is the Pizza State!” Well, that’s never gonna happen, but I mean what I say. There is no state […]
Scarr’s Pizza– Fantastic Pizza in a Hip Vibe on Manhattan’s Lower East Side
The Snob has been at this pizza business for a few years now and has covered New York City fairly well. Focusing on the best known places and sometimes those that simply cross my path, there are still probably a zillion spots left for me to visit. For my latest adventure, I visited a new […]
JB’s Pizza to Po’boys in Destin, FL—A Good Spot for Vacation Pizza
I pretty much had given up on pizza during my recent Destin family vacation. That was until my nephew, Tayster, came home one night all excited about a place he discovered.

La Famiglia—Destin FL Italian Restaurant Makes a Good Pie for the Beach!
Since our kids have grown and flown the coop, Mrs. Pie and I have moved our annual beach trips on the Florida Panhandle from Destin to the less-crowded and not-as-commercial confines further east on Highway 30-A. However, a family gathering this year in Destin brought us back to our old stomping grounds in “Ground Zero” […]

London’s Best American Pizza – Not at This Place
Thanks to my real job, I made my third trip to London in the last four years. While I absolutely adore the place, eating British-made pizza isn’t high on my list of things to do when I visit. However, the temptation is hard to resist, especially when I walk by a place named Best American […]
Angelo’s Pizza—Coal-Fired Pizza Magic in Midtown Manhattan
Let’s get right to the point on this one. If there was ever a potential tourist trap pizza joint it would be Midtown Manhattan’s Angelo’s Pizza. This place sees a lot of traffic. Just a few blocks north of iconic Times Square, it sits in the same building as the famed Ed Sullivan Theater. Named […]
Bayonne Patio Bar & Grille—A Step Back from the Venice
It was a sad day for Bayonne residents, past, present, and future, when The Venice closed its doors late last year.
