Manhattan’s V&T Pizzeria—Art Garfunkel’s Favorite Pie is a Winner!
When I am back home in the Pizza State of New Jersey, there is nothing better I like doing on a pretty Sunday afternoon than taking a journey into some new strange unexplored area of the island of Manhattan. It was a perfect day for doing just that, and I grabbed my brother and we […]
New York City’s Champion Pizza—A Two Dollar Slice in Soho
After scoring at Stromboli Pizza, the Pizza Snob continued his evening walk through the City with no particular place to go. Walking back to the Village, I overheard a young man asking a stranger where he could get a slice of New York pizza. I immediately got nosy, interrupted and took the Californian to Joe’s […]
Manhattan’s Stromboli Pizza—Get a Great Slice on St. Mark’s Place
I couldn’t believe that I had gotten too busy to have mapped out any pizza plans for a recent trip back home. But as fate would have it, my phone rang right as I got off the plane at Newark Airport. It was my biz associate Richard from the Left Coast. Leaving the true nature […]
Rosa’s Pizza on Fourteenth Street—A Great New York Slice in Manhattan’s Union Square
The Pizza Snob can only walk by a Manhattan pizza joint so many times without having to pay a visit. Such was the case with Rosa’s Pizza on the busy downtown thoroughfare of 14th Street—especially when there’s a cute little pizza guy statue out front trying to lure me in. It was a family day […]
Rosario’s Pizza—A Disappointing Slice on Manhattan’s Lower East Side
On my last trip to Manhattan, I sought out a Ray’s Pizza joint on the Lower East Side that as I expected turned out to be a dud. Working my way through the grimy streets after parking deep in the Orchard Street Shopping District, I noticed a late night pizza joint called Rosario’s Pizza. Their […]
Coney Island’s Legendary Totonno’s Pizzeria—“As Long as There’s Dough”
Growing up, I never realized how close the beach and boardwalk of Coney Island were to my boyhood home of Bayonne, NJ. Choosing the Jersey Shore instead, my family never took the short trip from our hometown peninsula to this one on the Atlantic Ocean edge of Brooklyn. Having never tasted an original Nathan’s Famous […]
Nolita’s Prince St. Pizza–New York City’s Home of the “Soho Square”
Sometimes a thrill-seeking mood strikes the Snob giving me the insatiable desire to try a new pizza place. When this happens, it helps to be in New York City where there are as many pizza joints as there are songwriters in Nashville. Recently the urge hit me while I was watching a show at Manhattan’s […]
New York City’s Village Pizza—Yet Another Perfect Slice in Greenwich Village
Walking in Manhattan one morning, I learned two bits of local trivia: (1) Hudson Street becomes 8th Avenue just before 12th Street and (2) the neighborhood of Greenwich Village extends to 14th Street. How did I uncover this vital information? Well, by taking notice of Village Pizza while I cruised uptown. A few weeks later, […]
Denino’s Pizzeria & Tavern — Solid Staten Island Pizza!
Following the wedding of my youngest son, The Kid, I travelled back home to Jersey with Mom and Dad. After we arrived at Newark Airport just before noon time and Uber-ed home, I put into action my fastest ever “plane-to-pizza” plan to put some food on the table. This was my perfect opportunity to head […]
Famous Original Ray’s Pizza – A Lifeless Slice on Manhattan’s Lower East Side
The Pizza Snob had been on such a roll lately (five “five-slice” ratings in a row) that I needed a reality check to see if I had lost my pizza-objectivity. So after a recent late night Manhattan adventure, I moseyed over to the Lower East Side to revisit a place that I recall disappointing me […]
