Impellizzeri’s Pizza – a String Cheese Incident in Louisville, KY
Louisville has grown to become one of my favorite cities. Apparently, the rest of the world is coming around since Australian-based Lonely Planet has just named it the top US tourist destination of 2013. Louisville, Kentucky is a great place to see historic architecture, shop in unique stores, enjoy a wide variety of food, and […]
Memphis Pizza Cafe – A Tasty Twist on Tradition
It was Christmas and that meant our annual drive to Texas to spend the holiday with Sweetie Pie’s family. Not wanting to seriously delay our twelve-hour journey, I had no set stops in mind but planned to keep my pizza-radar turned on at all times. We wound up getting a late start and as a […]
Spring Hill (TN) Pizza Surprise – Samboli’s
Spring Hill is a small community just south of Franklin which in turn is just south of Nashville. Spring Hill is a mess.

Bowling Green, KY’s Lost River Pizza Company – Where’s the Tradition?

It is a city […]
Fancy Pizza in the French Quarter – New Orleans’ Vieux Carre Pizza
The Pizza Snob decided to close out his NOLA pizza adventure by seeing what the famed French Quarter had to offer. One of the most unique destinations in America, this historic district is home to some of the world’s finest restaurants. Amongst its many open-air, music-filled bars and cheesy souvenir shops, I spotted several pizza […]
TOPPINGS – Spider-Man Works at Joe’s Pizza
On a recent visit to see his girl in New York City, The Kid enjoyed some slices at Pizza Snob’s Five-Slice Award favorite Joe’s Pizza. He texted me to ask how in the world I missed the fact that Joe’s is the joint featured in Spider-Man 2’s famous pizza scene. To set the record straight, […]
New Orleans’ New York Pizza—Not Living Up To Its Name
As he approached his second pizza stop in The Big Easy, the Pizza Snob wondered if these NOLA places read my “Naming Your Pizza Joint” blog. Like Metairie’s Brooklyn Pizza, Uptown’s New York Pizza also employs the biz-wiz of name-checking a location famous for good pizza. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the latter takes that liberty […]
