Mamma Monica —Moves to Downtown Weatherford, TX and Adds Pizza

If you follow this blog, you may already know that Mrs. Pie hails from the Texas town of Weatherford. Just a 30-minute pickup truck ride west of Ft. Worth, in our 40-plus years together, I sure have seen this town change. More people, more places, and more traffic, it also now has its first Neapolitan […]

Zoli’s Pizza—Just When I Thought There Was No Great Pizza in Fort Worth

The Pizza Snob had all but given up on finding great pizza in Fort Worth. It seemed that there only was an pretty good Neapolitan pie at Cane Rosso and a bunch of mediocre New York slices at places named Joe something or other. But, I hadn’t been doing my homework and leave it to […]

Slice City Pizza—NY Slice in Fort Worth

Readers may recall that Mrs. Pie’s parents, who I will call A&C, live in Weatherford, TX. This ever-expanding city of 30,000 people, which now lies 28 miles due west of Ft. Worth on I-30, gets bigger and closer to FW every time we visit. A, her mom, likes nice things, especially in the food department, […]

Cane Rosso—Neapolitan Pizza Time in Fort Worth

It isn’t always easy when it involves others not having a powerful pizza-passion like me. But, it sure is a treat when travelling somewhere that the Pizza Snob’s first destination after arriving at the airport is a new pizza joint. I recently managed to accomplish this feat on a trip to Fort Worth although my […]

Eno’s Pizza Tavern—Chicago Tavern-Style in Dallas’s Oak Cliff

My business meetings were over right after lunch, and the plane didn’t leave until 7pm. This meant that there was plenty of time for an afternoon pizza adventure in Dallas on this lovely spring day. With my research coming up as dry as a stale piece of crust, seeing the word “thin” in a write-up […]

Coal Vines – Swanky Pizza Place in Big D

I spent a lot of time in Dallas when I was a Texan and have many fond memories of this fine city. My trips back since then have been infrequent, and my research unfortunately has resulted in little in the way of any pizza to get excited about. A few years back, I had a […]

Alex’s Pizza, Pasta & Subs—Texas Slice Beats the Chains

As the universe expands, so does the city of Weatherford, TX. Day by day, this blossoming city seems to edge closer and closer to Fort Worth. I’ve been told that scientists predict that they will someday connect. In doing so, adjacent communities like Willow Park are getting their names presented more prominently on the map […]

Piattello Italian Kitchen – A New Spiffy Place in Fort Worth with Great Pizza

Having already covered most of the territory, trips to the Fort Worth area lack any real new pizza promise. Recently however, I discovered that America’s construction boom is not limited to my home turf of Nashville (aka “Crane City”). On the advice of my smart “Sis-in-Law,” together with her and Mrs. Pie, we visited a […]

Rocco’s Wood Fired Pizza—Tasty Takeaway Spot in Fort Worth

It was the usual Christmas week in Texas, and our house full of family and critters kept us home inside most of the time. For the day we did plan to visit Forth Worth, I did my best to work in at least one pizza stop. Having attacked this town pretty hard over the years, […]

Joe’s Pasta-N-Pizza—Pretty Good Pizza in Weatherford, TX

It was Christmastime, and Mrs. Pie and I were visiting family in her hometown of Weatherford, Texas. (I sure am slow in writing these reviews, ain’t I?) We already had our now annual holiday tradition of a family gathering at Nizza Pizza, our favorite pizza place in town. For reasons unknown, it had been a […]
