Desperately needing another pandemic break, Mrs. Pie and I took the chance on a November trip to the beach. Again, visiting our beloved 30A on the Florida Gulf Coast, we were truly blessed with a beautiful week with the weather forecasters being about as wrong as they possibly could be. This time though we stayed […]
Holidaying at the beach during COVID was a great getaway for me and Mrs. Pie. Trying to squeeze in one more pizza joint before we went back home, I took a chance on a place that I didn’t think would be too great. Leaving the sand for a quick afternoon snack, my intuition about Sauce […]

My most recent trip back to the Pizza State was in February which makes for the longest I’ve ever been away from home. On the Sunday before I flew back to Music City, I met my brother and his wife for lunch at a new pizza place near Edison where they lived. Little did we […]
It’s now been nine months since I’ve been to New York City. That’s the longest separation I have ever had from my favorite city in the world and I miss it dearly. COVID has not been too nice to the City and to quote a former Manhattanite friend who has since left for Texas: “Everything […]
Having done this blog for over eight years, I am truly blessed to say that by now the Pizza Snob has gotten to visit most of New York’s legendary pizza joints. But, earlier this year before COVID hit, I visited one that had long lingered on my pizza bucket list, Brooklyn’s Paulie Gee’s. Intrigued but […]
Brentwood is a somewhat wealthier than average American city located in between Nashville proper and the Snob’s home of Franklin. It’s a town that came to be from a lot of Country Music money, most notably from the late singer Eddie Arnold who once practically owned the whole town. The one thing about Brentwood though […]
I have never said that I didn’t like Chicago Style pizza. As a matter of fact, I do quite like it. It’s just that it is so different from the New York Style pizza that I was born and raised on. I’m guess I’m OK with calling them both pizza since both use the same […]
