Bella Nashville Pizzeria—A Wood-Fired Surprise at the Nashville Farmers’ Market
A Saturday afternoon jaunt with Ms. Pie turned into an accidental pizza adventure for the Pizza Snob. While touring the Nashville Farmers’ Market (NFM), I happened upon their surprisingly exotic indoor food court, dubbed the Market House, where instead of the usual Sbarro, I found the locally-owned and operated Bella Nashville Pizzeria. It seems that […]

Chattanooga’s Community Pie—Launch of New York Style Pizza Is Almost Perfect!
The Snob’s alter, Music City Mike, was on a road trip that happened to pass through Chattanooga around lunch time. Not without trying, my travelling companion and respected foodie, the Clayman, failed to find us a convenient pizza stop. So, we settled for some Mexican at Taqueria Jalisco, an easy on and off from I-40 […]
Coco’s Italian Market—Pizza and Everything Italian on Nashville’s West Side
On a recent Saturday afternoon, Ms. Pie and I found ourselves on the west side of Nashville. After finishing our business and trying to find the I-40 entrance ramp, we stumbled upon Coco’s Italian Market.

Chris’ Corner in Bayonne, NJ—A Return to Where the Snob First Discovered Pizza
The Snob grew up on the same block as Chris’ Corner, and their pizza was the first he ever tasted. In the early 60’s, Mom would call in the order, and I would walk down the street to bring home a tasty, classic, large pie for $1.25 or a small one for $1.00. Like many […]

Santillo’s Brick Oven Pizza—Could This Be New Jersey’s Best?
Heading out for the evening in Jersey with enough time for a pizza stop, I took counsel from the 2010 article in New Jersey Monthly on the state’s “25 Perfect Pizzas.” Unfamiliar to me, I picked Santillo’s Brick Oven Pizza in Elizabeth—they’d been in business since 1918. I easily found the joint next to a […]
NY Pizza Suprema, New York, NY – Is it Really the Best Slice in Manhattan?
Following the lead of the Slice Harvester, I set out to taste the pie at NY Pizza Suprema in Midtown Manhattan across from Madison Square Garden.

New York Penn Station’s Finest—Don Pepi Pizza
Being back in the City for me means two things: live music and pizza. In town for a show, I parked the car down in the Village and hopped on an uptown train with plans of first checking out two pizza joints recommended to me by my readers. The first was Don Pepi Pizza which […]
Bayonne NJ’s Venice Restaurant—Tasty Thin Pizza Tradition Thrives On
In revisiting the pizza of his home town, The Pizza Snob was uncertain about the current status of the Venice Restaurant. I grew up down the street from The Venice, so you could say The Snob’s standards were set by this place. Quite often, my Dad and I would shoot a game of pool in […]
