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 […]
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 […]
Not to be confused with West Nashville’s great NY Pie, there’s a place called NYNY Pie that has opened up in Mt. Juliet’s new giant outdoor shopping center. I was easily enticed by the name, but for the Snob, Mt. Juliet is no short hike from Frank-town. So, there it sat on my list waiting […]
A few weeks ago, my weekly pizza-loving lunch buds suggested we try Little Chicago, a new joint in a tiny shotgun space on the Demonbreun strip near Music Row. It faces south and sits between the Interstate and the Music Row Roundabout (the circle surrounding those awful naked statutes). Several years ago, this city block […]
Life as a Pizza Snob means that friends and family love to take you to new pizza places they have discovered. Such was the case recently when The Kid’s girlfriend’s family invited Ms. Pie and me to join them and our young ones for a Sunday lunch after church. The chosen place was the brand-spanking new […]
Two Boots Pizzeria’s name represents the geographical shapes of both Italy and Louisiana, a tribute to the founders’ love for both pizza and New Orleans. Two Boots Pizzeria Nashville is located on the triangle where 21st splits into Broadway and Division. They reside in a colorfully refurbished building previously occupied by The Great Escape, one […]
It embarrasses the Snob to admit that there was a time in his life when he was not involved in serious pizza eating. This period of lost opportunity existed during my vegan years when my family and I stopped eating all meat and dairy. The dairy part eventually came to an end when I realized […]
Thanks to the wonders of Priceline, Ms. Pie and I can afford to spend our ATL getaway weekends in its upscale Buckhead area. Centered around the main thoroughfare of northern Peachtree Road, Buckhead boasts high-rise office buildings, classy hotels, fancy shopping and exquisite dining. On a previous visit, my better half stumbled on to Ray’s […]
Ms. Pie and I were heading south for our annual summer weekend in Atlanta. That means shopping for her and record stores and pizza for me. Our first planned stop was lunch, and we chose to visit a sushi place located in Marietta’s cool downtown square. After finishing, I playfully pulled out my iPhone Pizza […]
Since his pizza-loving nephew Tayster was in town, the Snob decided they could explore together Brothers Pizza Company, a place the Snob had been once before several years ago. My recollection about it was neutral, obviously not impressed enough to make a return visit. So, the whole fam made the journey across town for a […]
