Cozzoli’s Pizza—Austin TX’s Sbarro Wanna-Be
After experiencing pizza heaven at Home Slice, I went to visit some sites of the old Austin I remembered when I lived in Texas 15 years ago. I took a stroll down Sixth Street and walked through the gorgeous Driskill Hotel. I headed towards the Paramount Theatre, a place where I saw many Texas greats […]
Austin’s Home Slice Pizza – New York-Style Pizza Perfection in Texas
The Snob lived in San Antonio for 18 years before moving to Franklin. When people in Tennessee used to ask me what I missed most about San Antonio, I had a simple, one-word answer: Austin! It was a city Mrs. Pie and I loved to visit for music, food, shopping, and mostly for its great […]
Mama’s Pizza—The Best in Fort Worth? No Way!
Mrs. Pie first told me about Fort Worth’s Mama’s Pizza back in the 80’s when we lived in the Lone Star State. She reminisced about loving their Hamburger Pizza in her high school days. That was a time when I didn’t trust eating any pizza in a Zip Code that didn’t start with a zero. […]
Fort Worth, TX – Another Pizza Place Named Joe’s
Having free time in a different town sends a consistent message to the Pizza Snob’s brain: “Find pizza!” It was a stinkin’ hot Texas afternoon, and with some time to kill I searched for a fast slice. My iPhone quickly indicated I was close to Joe’s Pizza & Pasta on Bryant Irvin Road. Of course, […]
Fort Worth’s Campisi’s Pizza—Just a “Cut” Below the Best
One of the benefits of being the Pizza Snob is that everyone wants to take you to a pizza place that they have discovered. My latest such encounter was courtesy of my in-laws (Bud and Ally) in Texas. On my last visit there, they couldn’t wait to take me to Campisi’s Pizza in Fort Worth. […]
A Big Time in Deep Ellum – Dallas, TX’s Serious Pizza
As the Snob, one of my biggest thrills is hitting a new town and getting the chance to seek out its best pizza. In all my years of living in San Antonio, I’d made countless visits to Dallas but do not recall ever having pizza there. After Christmas, everyone wanted to head to Dallas, specifically […]
Nizza Pizza – Weatherford (TX) Lands a Great One!
After our recent holiday pizza night with pies from Weatherford landmark, The Pizza Place, my young nephew The Tay-ster told me I had to try Nizza Pizza. Always eager to accept an assignment, I made plans for a solo visit the next day when I would be doing my usual last minute Christmas shopping. Well, […]
Fort Worth, TX – Why Are All the Pizza Places Named Joe’s?
While on my Snob Christmas holiday in Texas, my two sons, and I, along with the Tay-ster, planned our annual trip to pick through used CDs and books at several Half Price Books stores’ annual 20% off sale. Last year’s jaunt presented a Joe’s Pizza something-or–other that wasn’t too bad. In planning this year’s eats, […]
The Pizza Place – A Weatherford (TX) Institution
Mrs. Pie hails from the great state of Texas–specifically the town of Weatherford, population 25,000. Dubbed the Peach Capital of Texas, it is located half an hour west of Fort Worth. When we were first married, there seemed to be only a few signs of civilization to this Jersey boy, but today, just about every […]
