Fiore’s Pizza on Bleecker Street— A Shining Star of a Slice!
You sure see a lot of pizza places when you walk the streets of Manhattan. The Pizza Snob however has self-imposed limitations dealing with time and calories. I therefore try to be selective and rely upon recommendations rather than fearlessly making surprise walk-ins to unfamiliar pizza joints. In the last few years, I must have […]
Brooklyn’s Table 87—Home of the Coal Oven Slice Makes its Mark
Brooklyn is an awfully big island. Even after all of the times I’ve been there, I still don’t have a good sense of where things are. My alter-blogger Music City Mike ventured to its Gowanus section earlier this year for some live music at the Bell House. In need of a rest stop after parking […]
Famous Ben’s Pizza of Soho—A New York Slice as Solid as They Come
On a recent trip to New York City, I was determined to do some mop-up work and revisit some pizza joints where I had dined before officially crowning myself the Pizza Snob. My planned stop at Famous Ben’s Pizza of Soho would also hopefully clear up my confusion about the three pizzerias in Lower Manhattan […]
Rivoli Pizza II—New York City Street Slice Perfection on Hudson Street
It was time for the Pizza Snob to return to pizza basics on the streets of Manhattan—the epicenter of the New York slice.

Both have helped ooze out a great deal of the crime, sleaze and filth that once made NYC an undesirable […]
Motorino—Great Neapolitan Pizza for New York City Foodies
I have a friend living in New York City who is a “foodie.” You know, the food nerd who is incessantly trying new restaurants and tweeting photos of dishes before eating them. Nonetheless, I highly regard what he has to say about pizza since we both share the opinion that Joe’s Pizza in the Village […]
Nunzio’s —Some Special Pizza in Staten Island
The Pizza Snob is always looking for direction in his never-ending search for great pizza. Last year, I found a great source hanging on the wall at the famous Patsy’s in Harlem. It was a New York Times article by noted food critic Ed Levine listing six great pizza slices in the five boroughs of […]
Arturo’s Coal Oven Pizza—A Thick Pie and a Great New York City Vibe
The Slice website offers a map of the twenty current New York City-Area Coal-Oven Pizzerias. The intense dry heat of a coal oven can produce a charred and crisp pizza crust that is delightfully delicious. I have heard it said that new locations are currently banned for environmental sake, and that a prospective pizza-maker can […]
Lenny’s Pizza– Legendary Joint Still Stands in Brooklyn
When Bro said that he could have eaten another slice after our visit to L&B Spumoni Gardens, he should have known that The Pizza Snob always has a another plan. On my list of Brooklyn joints to visit was Lenny’s Pizza. In business since 1953, John Travolta made Lenny’s famous in Saturday Night Fever, the […]
