Cool Springs Brewery—A Reinvented Pizzeria in Franklin (TN)

It was a lazy Saturday night, and no one in the house felt like cooking. Ah! The perfect opportunity for the Pizza Snob to have a local pizza adventure. So, The Philosopher and I hopped in the car and journeyed over to Cool Springs Brewery, located in a strip center in the Cool Springs shopping […]

Mafiaoza’s – Nashville’s Hip Spot Still Disappoints

­­The Pizza Snob panned Mafiaoza’s Pizzeria & Neighborhood Pub big-time back in an earlier story I wrote on pizza in Music City. I caught some heat about this from a few friends and fans, so since I based this opinion on a bad birthday experience several years back, I decided to give it another try. […]

More Music City Pizza – Nashville’s Pizza Perfect Kebob

Pizza Perfect Kebob sits on Granny White Pike across from David Lipscomb University. Located since 1983 on a lone city block devoted to retail, I only recently made my first trip there. If the name surprises you, I am told that their owner is brother to Pizza Perfect’s owner who sports two Nashville locations! (I […]

More Music City Pizza – Angelo’s Picnic Pizza in Antioch, TN

My friend Frank the OT lives on the east side of Nashville near Antioch. He is a pizza lover who after reading my Nashville blog entry told me about Angelo’s Picnic Pizza. This was his go-to place along with Sal’s Pizza, and he thinks the owners of these joints are somehow related. So, on a […]

More Music City Pizza – Sal’s Pizza in Brentwood, TN

The Pizza Snob has a simple goal:  To visit and review as many of the USA’s pizza places as fast as possible.  During times of less travel, I check out Nashville area pizzerias.  Luckily for the Snob, the music industry has created a New York to Nashville axis which brings good pizza-makers to town.  I […]

TOPPINGS – Five Points Pizza Tops 2012 Nashville Scene Readers Poll

East Nashville’s new Five Point Pizza topped the 2012 Best of Nashville Readers Poll published this week by local alternative weekly, the Nashville Scene. Last year’s winner, Pizza Perfect moved down one spot which in turn pushed the local’s favorite Neapolitan pizza place, Bella Napoli, down to number three. While both Five Points Pizza and Pizza Perfect […]

Music City – Lunch at Joey’s House of Pizza

Like his brother Manny’s, this other House of Pizza owned by Joey is a great go-to place for lunch in Nashville. And lunch it is – Joey’s House of Pizza is only open from 11am to 3pm, Monday through Friday. Word was that he left Brentwood’s Maryland Farms location when he got tired of paying […]

Nashville West – NY Pie

It’s no East Nashville, but there recently have been some exciting new developments on the west side of the city. Music City Mike – the Snob’s alter-ego – routinely travels out Charlotte Ave. to pick the used CD bins of Great Escape and McKay.  Both establishments are relatively new to the area. NY Pie is one […]

Five Points Pizza – East Nashville Hip

“Everybody’s trying to get their kicks, living in 37206.” So sings Elmo Buzz, the alter ego of Americana Music hero Todd Snider. Elmo Buzz and the Eastside Bulldogs are a band famous for only having played shows in the zip code lovingly known as East Nashville. Let’s first set the story straight – there really […]

Music City – Pizza Perfect – It Sure Is!

Hillsboro Village is just downright one of the best spots in town. Whether it’s grabbing a great meal at Fido (a gourmet restaurant disguised as a coffee shop) or seeing a concert at the wonderfully intimate Belcourt Theatre, despite the tourist draw of Pancake Pantry, the Village is among the Snob’s favorite hip Nashville haunts.
