Famous Pizza & Beer—Having a Slice in Sedona, Arizona
My whimsical idea of eating “snack bar pizza” at the Grand Canyon like I did a few years ago at the ruins in Pompeii, never happened. My pizza expectations at our next Arizona travel stop, Sedona, were equally as non-existent as they were at the Canyon. Being sort of a “foodie” town, I did spot […]
Famous Joe’s of the Village–Now Joe’s Pizza of Park Slope
If it weren’t for the recent news of the latest New York City Pizza War, I may have never gotten to visit what is now called Joe’s Pizza of Park Slope. Following similar battles involving the names Patsy and Ray, this one was about the use of the name Joe’s in Brooklyn by the guy […]
The Vic in Bayonne NJ—The Big Apple Pizza Finds a New Home
Since I spend a lot of my pizza time in my hometown of Bayonne, NJ, I closed out 2017 with a recap of the Peninsula City’s year in pizza. As fast as you can say Mozzarella, I was bombarded by the Bayonneites on Facebook with the fact that I left out the reemergence of The […]
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 […]
Slice Works—Somewhat Disappointing Slice in Denver
It was approaching the time when I needed to head to the airport to wing it back home to Tennessee. But, there was still time for one more slice. Continuing to press my luck with the so far successful Thrillist list, I walked over to the Slice Works on 17th Street in LoDo, in the […]
Two-Fisted Mario’s Pizza—Denver Bar Makes Some Fantastic Pizza
My last pizza day in Denver was a downtown jaunt during the Monday lunch hour. Walking along the city streets on a gorgeous spring day, my first target (another from the Thrillist list) was the oddly-named Two-Fisted Mario’s Pizza. On the bottom floor of what looks to be a renovated old warehouse building in LoDo, […]
Fat Sully’s New York Pizza—The Snob’s Favorite Denver Slice
You could imagine my surprise when my Sunday breakfast meeting with a Denver-based friend took me to the delicious Denver Biscuit Company. Located inside a large corner space on Colfax called the Atomic Cowboy, this beer joint houses a two-business collective that also includes Fat Sully’s New York Pizza, another pizza place on my Thrillist […]
Benny Blanco’s Pizza—Punk Rock Pizza in Denver
It was a Sunday and my second day in Denver. After spending a fun afternoon at the ballpark, I took an Uber over to Wax Trax! Records to browse the bins before my next pizza stop off the Thrillist list at the nearby Benny Blanco’s Pizza. I got real eager to visit this place when […]
Nick’s Pizza—A Crispy Margherita on Manhattan’s Upper East Side
Heading back home to Music City through LaGuardia, I came upon the idea of looking for a pizza place on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Totally unfamiliar with this area, all I had were impressions of it being a wealthy part of town. Doing my advance work, I was on to something about it being close […]
Lucia Pizza—The King of Pizza in Queens?
To be a truly adventurous Pizza Snob, you need to take advantage of every opportunity to discover new pizza. Landing at New York La Guardia Airport for my current trip back home to Jersey, I looked to see what might be close by and chose the highly Yelp-rated Lucia Pizza just 3.2 miles away. Lucia […]
