A Snowy Saturday at Salvo’s Pizza in Smyrna (TN)

On a lazy March Saturday at my local Starbucks blogging table, I read a comment from one of my readers recommending Salvo’s Pizza in nearby Smyrna, a bustling little town southeast of Nashville. It piqued my interest since Salvo’s owner was founder of both Sal’s Pizza and the former Hickory Hollow Mall’s Pizza Picnic. With […]

Brixx Wood Fired Pizza – Staying Simple Can Be Appetizing

You would think that I’d pick pizza every time it was my turn to choose the restaurant for our family’s Sunday lunches, but I seldom do.  Joints within reasonable striking distance are not up to The Snob’s standards. However, one of our frequent picks is Brixx Wood Fired Pizza. My family first became attracted to […]

Broadway Pizza Walk (Bayonne, NJ) Part Three: Mona Lisa Pizzeria and Mario’s Pizza

On my recent trip home, I had time for one last pizza adventure and decided to further explore the pizza in my hometown of Bayonne, NJ (see Part One and Part Two).  I started out early on a Monday morning with Mona Lisa Pizzeria, a full service Italian restaurant located in the Bergen Point area. […]

Marco’s Pizza – A Tasty Thin Take-Away

The Pizza Snob recently gave you the how-to’s of pizza delivery. I prefer not to order out these days, but when I do locally, I order from Marco’s Pizza, a chain of about 250 company-owned and franchised locations scattered around the country. A few years back, they took over the space previously occupied by the […]

Sloatsburg, NY’s Sunnyside’s Bar & Grill—Out-of-the-Way But Incredible Pizza!

During his last trip back home, the Snob’s alter ego, Music City Mike, was once again lucky enough to see a house concert at Live @ Drew’s in Ringwood, NJ. This time, it was the gritty but sometimes tender songs of New York City’s Jesse Malin & the St. Mark’s Social.  Jesse rocked the house […]

St. Marks 2 Bros. Pizza – You Get What You Pay For

After our fabulous dining experience at Brooklyn’s Di Fara Pizza, Dodger Fan and I left the car in Brooklyn and hopped on the M Train to Manhattan. Since it was such a beautiful, sunny winter’s day to enjoy a walk in the City, our destination was The High Line.  There and back, we couldn’t help […]

Brooklyn’s Di Fara Pizza – Watching a Master at Work

Since this blog began, several readers have placed Di Fara Pizza on a rather lofty pedestal including America’s Test Kitchen (see video).  Everywhere I looked, I saw Di Fara’s referred to as the best pizza in Brooklyn, all of New York, and sometimes the entire world. All of this talk placed it atop The Snob’s […]

New York City’s Artichoke Pizza—Don’t Let the Name Fool You!

Taking full advantage of “The City That Never Sleeps,” I continued my evening’s adventure for what would be my third and final pizza stop of the day. On the advice of house-concert impresario Drew, I hoofed it in the winter’s cold over to Artichoke Pizza in the heart of Greenwich Village. I must admit I […]

Brentwood, TN’s Matteo’s Pizzeria – A Take-Out Disappointment

It was a lazy Saturday night at home, and we had no dinner plans. It had been awhile since the Snob’s last adventure, so he thought about bringing home a pie to accompany that evening’s Netflix flick. I decided to try Matteo’s Pizzeria, a place once close to home at The Factory in Franklin. They […]

A Big Time in Deep Ellum – Dallas, TX’s Serious Pizza

As the Snob, one of my biggest thrills is hitting a new town and getting the chance to seek out its best pizza. In all my years of living in San Antonio, I’d made countless visits to Dallas but do not recall ever having pizza there.  After Christmas, everyone wanted to head to Dallas, specifically […]
