UPDATE: Pizza Perfect Kebob— Owners of Nashville Pizza Joint Retire
Original Review: 11/23/12 PIZZA SNOB RATING ***1/2 Working on a Good Thing Wow! I am not sure how The Pizza Snob let this one slip by, but after 30 years in business, the owners of Pizza Perfect Kebob have hung up their aprons and retired. You can read about it here in a post […]
Crankees Pizzeria—Pizza Truck Fires Up Pies in Music City
Since the great food truck explosion at the turn of the century, the Pizza Snob has had only a few four-wheeled pizza experiences. A few years ago, I tried a truck at the Germantown Festival that I never saw again. Before I took to blogging about pizza, I had a few slices at the great PizzaBuds Truck that has since vanished. Now, there is a new […]
DeSano Pizza & Bakery—Italian Pizza Tradition in Nashville
OK, so I get it. Neapolitan style is the traditional way pizza is made in Italy, and the pies are baked in wood burning ovens using the finest imported ingredients. That doesn’t mean I have to like it. DeSano Pizza & Bakery arrived in Nashville a few years ago to much fanfare. (They also have […]
Al Taglio—New Nashville Convention Center Get a Swanky Pizza Joint
In January, the newly launched Music City Center announced the addition of two adjoining food places to their convention facility: a Dunkin’ Donuts and a pizza place called Al Taglio. These two establishments sit on the southwest corner of the gigantic downtown center at Fifth Avenue South and Korean Veterans Boulevard. Both places are accessible […]
Little Italy—A Quick Pizza Stop in Memphis
Since becoming official, The Pizza Snob has yet to spend any extended time in Memphis. Last year on our annual Christmas drive to Texas, I made a quick pit stop at the tasty Memphis Pizza Cafe. Following suit this year, the trip landed me an unexpected visit to Little Italy. With Ms. Pie staying back […]
Music City Pizza—A Nashville Music Venue Gets a Pizza Facelift: Classy But Not Classic
The crusty old bar and restaurant that once welcomed you into the 12th & Porter music room is no more. It has been replaced by the swanky Music City Pizza. The MCP name and logo now control the face of the music venue located down in the bowels of 12th Avenue North. While the music […]
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. Neither of us had ever been there before, but I had seen their bathroom adverts around town. I was intrigued […]
Nashville’s Little Chicago—A Long Pizza Lunch I Won’t Repeat
A few weeks ago, my weekly pizza-loving lunch buds suggested we try Little Chicago, a new joint in a tiny shotgun space on the Demonbreun strip near Music Row. It faces south and sits between the Interstate and the Music Row Roundabout (the circle surrounding those awful naked statutes). Several years ago, this city block […]
