Chris’ Corner in Bayonne, NJ—A Return to Where the Snob First Discovered Pizza
The Snob grew up on the same block as Chris’ Corner, and their pizza was the first he ever tasted. In the early 60’s, Mom would call in the order, and I would walk down the street to bring home a tasty, classic, large pie for $1.25 or a small one for $1.00. Like many […]

Santillo’s Brick Oven Pizza—Could This Be New Jersey’s Best?
Heading out for the evening in Jersey with enough time for a pizza stop, I took counsel from the 2010 article in New Jersey Monthly on the state’s “25 Perfect Pizzas.” Unfamiliar to me, I picked Santillo’s Brick Oven Pizza in Elizabeth—they’d been in business since 1918. I easily found the joint next to a […]

New York Penn Station’s Finest—Don Pepi Pizza

Bayonne NJ’s Venice Restaurant—Tasty Thin Pizza Tradition Thrives On
In revisiting the pizza of his home town, The Pizza Snob was uncertain about the current status of the Venice Restaurant. I grew up down the street from The Venice, so you could say The Snob’s standards were set by this place. Quite often, my Dad and I would shoot a game of pool in […]
Poppa Rollo’s Pizza in Waco, TX – What Was I Thinking?

Cozzoli’s Pizza—Austin TX’s Sbarro Wanna-Be
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 […]
Austin’s Home Slice Pizza – New York-Style Pizza Perfection in Texas
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 […]
Mt. Juliet TN’s NYNY Pie – Off the Beaten Path for Pizza Excellence
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 […]
