UPDATE: Paulus Hook Brick Oven Pizza in Jersey City is No More
Original Review: 10/14/12 PIZZA SNOB RATING **** Near Perfection I was sad to learn that Paulus Hook Brick Oven Pizza has closed for good. In addition to making a great Neapolitan pie, it was special to me in that it was one of my first reviews and was located in the neighborhood of my […]
Helen’s Pizza in Jersey City—On the Newark Ave Pedestrian Plaza
If you have noticed the recent wane in the Pizza Snob’s productivity, you have been paying attention. Even though I still carry a backlog of pizza places to write about from last year’s travels, the sadness in the air has made me melancholy. I miss the excitement of traveling and exploring, and my heart has […]
Bread and Salt—New Pizza in Jersey City: Scrumptious Squares with Sublime Crust
Oh, does the Pizza Snob just love it when the pizza world starts to go crazy about a new place, and he gets the chance to go there. Such was the case when the New York Times came out with a rave review of Jersey City, NJ’s Bread and Salt. It was some serious positive […]
Tutta’s Pizza—Dallas Pizza for Slow Smoked Meat Lovers
Part of me does not want to write about Dallas’s Tutta’s Pizza. For one, the owner came by to our table and seemed like a great guy. It’s also a fun place with local bands playing live music and the novel true-to-Texas concept of serving pizza topped with slow smoked meats. But on the other, […]
Sal’s Pizzeria & Pasta House—Super Slice in Sarasota, FL Sizzles
Although I need a cup of coffee every morning, I don’t think that I’m as addicted to coffee as much as I am coffee shops. There’s nothing I’d rather do in the early morning that get cozy with a cup and my laptop in a comfy spot in America’s new favorite place to socialize with […]
Angelo’s Pizza in Fords, NJ—Just Another Decent Slice in the Pizza State
While recently visiting my Dad in the heart of the Pizza State, my thoughts drifted to my non-pizza passion, and I checked to see if there was a record store nearby. For those of you who may not share this interest, some of us old timers prefer their music to be physical rather than digital. […]
Joe & Pat’s NYC –Another Superb Staten Island Pizza Comes to Manhattan
Back in my early Snob days, I once crossed the Bayonne Bridge into Staten Island and scored some spanking-good slices at the legendary Joe and Pat’s Pizzeria & Restaurant. It’s a place I’ve since reflected upon in that I was still learning the ropes of the Snob trade and I under-rated it. While I’ve not […]
Spunto Thin Crust Pizza–Splendid Surprise in Manhattan’s West Village
Regular readers will have noticed that some of the Pizza Snob’s Manhattan pizza adventures are tied to his other blog-denity, Music City Mike, when he visits the City Winery down on Varick Street in West Greenwich Village. While I am quite saddened to see the awesome CW space fall victim this month to the continued […]
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, […]
UPDATE: Bayonne’s Grandpa’s Kitchen Is Gone
Original Review: 10/01/16 PIZZA SNOB RATING ***1/2 Working on a Good Thing Whenever back in Bayonne, the Pizza Snob takes a drive along Broadway to check the status of the local pizza provider community. What did I notice on my last visit? Well, it looks like the third time for this location wasn’t a […]
