Roberta’s–Brooklyn Pizza Comes to Cali
It had been a few years since my last trip to LA. I was quite pleased that my recent one managed to coincide with the opening of the newest Roberta’s in the suburb to the south of Culver City, just blocks away from where I was staying. Having already journeyed to their original home space […]
Sa Za—Fine Italian Fare and Pizza in Montgomery, Alabama
Catching the tail of Hurricane Gordon, it was a rainy week at the beach that we made just a little better by extending our stay through Saturday afternoon instead of our usual morning drive home. This schedule change had the added benefit of allowing a dinner stop at Sa Za in Montgomery that is open […]
Southside Slice Pizzeria—A $6 Slice on the Florida Panhandle
Doing my homework for my annual 30A beach vacation with Mrs. Pie, I came across two new pizza joints in the swanky eastern end of the strip known as Rosemary Beach. One called Ticheli’s Pizza was a small shack meant mostly for take-out which won’t hear from me until next year’s getaway. However, I did […]
Amici 30A Italian Kitchen—Making a Great Pizza on the Florida Panhandle
First off, my apologies for this late report on the pizza activity on the Florida Panhandle. It seems that I’ve gotten to where I’ve been visiting places far faster than I can write them up. But, it’s January and many of my music friends are heading south for the annual 30A Songwriters Festival, so this […]
R.I.P.—Franklin TN’s Pizza & Cream
Some half-dozen years ago or so, a pizza joint named Pizza & Cream opened in a strip center off Highway 96/Murfreesboro Road in my hometown of Franklin. Clueless about what I could expect from the place, I tried on two different occasions to give it a try. On both attempts, I encountered notes on the […]
Midtown Pizza Kitchen – Fancy Pie in Alabama
Life is so good in that the Pizza Snob gets to spend a lot of time in the part of the country where the best pizza is made: New York and New Jersey. Let me just say, if you don’t agree with that statement, I beg to differ in a big way. But, that doesn’t […]
Rosario’s in Astoria, Queens—Italian Grocery Store Serves Some Delicious Pizza
Growing up in the 60s in Northern New Jersey, the corner grocery store was an essential element of everyday life. When you needed some household item in a pinch, you didn’t head for a prefab building erected by some big business chain that also sells you Slurpees, bad pizza and gas. Instead, there was the […]
Denino’s Pizzeria & Tavern — Great Staten Island Pie Comes to Greenwich Village
It was a late Sunday afternoon when my brother and I were riding the train downtown back from seeing my Yankees whoop the Blue Jays. There was no question about us going for pizza, but it remained unanswered as to where. Trying to find something new that wouldn’t be too far from a train station, […]
“The Best Slice There Is” Brightens Times Square – Joe’s Pizza in New York City
Thriving off the thrill of trying new pizza, the Pizza Snob doesn’t often make return visits to pizza joints other than for convenience. The one notable exception has always been to enlighten others about the slice that I and many others consider to be hands down the best there is—New York City’s Joe’s Pizza. Over […]
Francesco’s Pizzeria—Fine Food Fair in Edison, NJ
Why do I call New Jersey the Pizza State? Well, one reason is that each town usually has so many pizza joints that the people who live in those places don’t even know all those that exist. Case in point was when I suggested to my Edison-residing brother that we check out the highly Yelp-rated […]
