New York City – Pandemic Pizza Closures
OK, I get it that folks are glad 2020 is over. Yes, there is finally hope that these vaccines will bring an end to this disgusting pandemic. Not to be a total downer, but let’s face it, things will still suck a while before we get back to normal. It will soon be a year […]
Ribalta—A Neapolitan Pizza in NYC
It’s now been nine months since I’ve been to New York City. That’s the longest separation I have ever had from my favorite city in the world and I miss it dearly. COVID has not been too nice to the City and to quote a former Manhattanite friend who has since left for Texas: “Everything […]
Paulie Gee’s Slice Shop–Brooklyn’s Best NY Slice
Having done this blog for over eight years, I am truly blessed to say that by now the Pizza Snob has gotten to visit most of New York’s legendary pizza joints.

NYC’s Proto’s Pizzeria – Superb Slice in the Bowery
I have never lost faith in the fact that no matter where I may be in Manhattan, I am never more than just a short walk away from a great slice of pizza. And although it is getting harder at times to always find one that is new to the Pizza Snob, such was fortunately […]
Rizzo’s Fine Pizza–A Round and a Square on New York’s Lower East Side

In near proximity to this corner just off Sixth Avenue in […]
Manhattan’s Pizza Mercato—A Slice Worth Passing On
On a pleasant evening, there are few things I enjoy more than walking the streets of New York City. One not-so-recent Sunday, I meandered about Greenwich Village relying on memory, sight and Yelp to try and find some pizza that I have yet to sample. Having already scored a decent slice at W4 Pizza, I […]
W4 Pizza in Manhattan—A Quick and Tasty Slice
Sometime last year, I had a biz meeting in Midtown Manhattan and opted for the joy of an early morning walk uptown from the Path train to the World Trade Center. While the exercise of a brisk hike is no doubt good for my health, the people-watching and sightseeing are without a doubt the best […]
Rose’s Pizza & Pasta—A Great Underground Slice at NYC’s Penn Station
A few years back, I heard somewhere that you had to go underground for the best slice in Midtown Manhattan. That intel was quite valuable since I found some great pizza at Don Pepi’s down in Penn Station. Back then, while searching for this place in the rather hectic train station, I was quite surprised […]
5 Boroughs Pizza – A Slice to Avoid
Location is as important for a pizza joint as much as it is for any retail business. Given the right spot with a big attractive sign, you should be able to attract customers. On several late-night trips from LaGuardia Airport to Jersey, I took the Williamsburg Bridge into Manhattan. Crossing through downtown on Canal Street, […]
