St. Marks 2 Bros. Pizza – You Get What You Pay For
After our fabulous dining experience at Brooklyn’s Di Fara Pizza, Dodger Fan and I left the car in Brooklyn and hopped on the M Train to Manhattan. Since it was such a beautiful, sunny winter’s day to enjoy a walk in the City, our destination was The High Line. There and back, we couldn’t help […]
Brooklyn’s Di Fara Pizza – Watching a Master at Work
Since this blog began, several readers have placed Di Fara Pizza on a rather lofty pedestal including America’s Test Kitchen (see video). Everywhere I looked, I saw Di Fara’s referred to as the best pizza in Brooklyn, all of New York, and sometimes the entire world. All of this talk placed it atop The Snob’s […]
New York City’s Artichoke Pizza—Don’t Let the Name Fool You!
Taking full advantage of “The City That Never Sleeps,” I continued my evening’s adventure for what would be my third and final pizza stop of the day. On the advice of house-concert impresario Drew, I hoofed it in the winter’s cold over to Artichoke Pizza in the heart of Greenwich Village. I must admit I […]
Lombardi’s Pizza in Little Italy–America’s First is Still One of its Best!
Whenever I go home to New Jersey for a visit, I get to experience adventures in New York City both as The Pizza Snob and Music City Mike. On a recent visit, I borrowed Dad’s brand new Honda Accord (courtesy of Hurricane Sandy) and drove to lower Manhattan’s City Winery to hear the powerful and […]
Lee’s Tavern – Staten Island’s Hidden Gem for Great Pizza!
I recently made my first post-Superstorm Sandy trip back home to Bayonne, NJ, to see Mom and Dad. The storm was a tough experience for them although it could have been much worse. Thankfully, they are now back to normal. With the aid of the great Trip-It iPhone app, I laid out eight pizza stops […]
Thin, Crispy & Crunchy – Staten Island’s Joe & Pat’s
It was the Labor Day holiday, and the Snob planned a trip to the sometimes forgotten New York City borough of Staten Island. Always interested in seeing a good baseball game, I took the short trip over the Bayonne Bridge to see the Staten Island Yankees play. This minor league version of my favorite team […]
Ignazio’s Pizza – Why Wait In Brooklyn?
On the latest trip back to the Big Apple, the Snob set his sights on the borough of Brooklyn, and, specifically, the famous Grimaldi’s, a place said to be favored by Frank Sinatra. (Did he really send his private jet from Vegas to bring in pies?) Accompanied by The Kid, his girlfriend, and the Snob’s […]
One Last Slice of New York – Joe’s Pizza
Before my recent trip to New York City, I did a little internet research about joints to visit for the launch of the Snob. Outside of wanting to seek out the original Ray’s, the one place I came across that I just had to visit was Joe’s. Besides some glowing recommendations, how could I pass […]
Another Slice of New York – Ben’s Pizzeria
After completing my exploration to find the true original Ray’s, I saved some room for a mid-afternoon slice at Ben’s, one of my old familiar pizza joints in Greenwich Village. Ben’s is a place I have frequented many times over the years during my strolls through the Village. It’s got a great location (next to […]
