Pizza in the Movies
As possibly America’s most favorite food, it’s no surprise that there have been many great pizza moments on the silver screen. Here are some of the Snob’s favorites from some classic comedies: Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) Who can forget this classic scene where surfer dude Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) orders a double-cheese and […]
Still Great After All These Years: Pizza at Jersey City NJ’s Three Guys from Italy
It’s time to admit that the Snob was once a preppie, having attended St. Peter’s Preparatory High School in Jersey City, NJ. I somehow managed to overcome those trying years and become the interesting albeit eccentric person that I am today. Four years of my life, nevertheless, were connected to the northern New Jersey metropolis […]
TOPPINGS – The Daily Meal presents America’s 35 Best Pizzas Slideshow
http://www.thedailymeal.com/americas-35-best-pizzas As you will see, this selection includes a lot of what the Pizza Snob calls “fu-fu” pies, but I do give them a big thumbs up for their inclusion of New York City’s Joe’s Pizza, one of our 5-slice honorees – #6 on their list. Thanks to the fun-loving Roger the Roof Guy for […]
TOPPINGS – America’s Test Kitchen Visits Brooklyn’s Di Fara Pizza
At the very top of the list of places the Snob has yet to visit is the legendary Di Fara Pizza in Brooklyn. Depending on who is doing the talking, this place is either the best in Brooklyn, all of New York or the entire world! I can’t wait to go, but for now, here’s […]
Florida’s 30-A – Pizza on the Panhandle
The Snob can never take a total vacation, so when he and Mrs. Pie headed south to the Florida Panhandle for a week’s stay, he naturally saw it as an opportunity to explore the local pizza joints. After 15 years of vacating to this beautiful place, we are convinced that there are no finer beaches […]
Searching for Pie in Columbus, Ohio – Adriatico’s New York Style Pizza
There was a time in the Snob’s real job where his co-workers called him the “Traveling Treasurer.” However, in these days of e-mail, internet and pricy airfares, my business travel has certainly been reduced. (Oh, the adventures the Snob could have had!) Fortunately, duty recently called, and I made a last minute trip to Columbus, […]
Atlantic City NJ Boardwalk Pizza – I Gambled and I Lost
On a recent trip home, Mom and Dad suggested we accept the Borgota’s offer of a free Atlantic City hotel room so that they could spend a day pushing buttons in the casino to win credits on slot machines. (I think slots were more fun when you got to pull the handle and coins poured […]
Broadway Pizza Walk (Bayonne, NJ) Part Two: – Pompei and Pizza Masters
Continuing my walk along Broadway, my third stop was Pompei, a long-established joint that recently had the distinction of winning the inaugural reader’s poll for “Best Regular Pizza” by the Bayonne Community News. I question this poll altogether as it cost a joint $300 to be listed as an entrant. As a result, not all […]
Broadway Pizza Walk (Bayonne, NJ) Part One: Tony’s and San Vito
Thomas Wolfe once said “you can’t go home again.” The Snob says “sometimes you go home.” Home for me is Bayonne, New Jersey, a peninsula surrounded by Newark and two boroughs of New York City -Manhattan and Staten Island. Mom and Dad still live there in the house I grew up in. It becomes my […]
Thin, Crispy & Crunchy – Staten Island’s Joe & Pat’s
It was the Labor Day holiday, and the Snob planned a trip to the sometimes forgotten New York City borough of Staten Island. Always interested in seeing a good baseball game, I took the short trip over the Bayonne Bridge to see the Staten Island Yankees play. This minor league version of my favorite team […]
