Benny Tudino’s – Hoboken’s Home of the Largest Slice
The Snob’s alter ego Music City Mike always includes some live shows in his trips to NYC. This trip he and his old music mate Jersey City Charlie paid a visit to the legendary Maxwell’s in Hoboken to see reunited power poppers The dBs. Over dinner, I introduced Charley to my Snob persona, and he got […]
Ignazio’s Pizza – Why Wait In Brooklyn?
On the latest trip back to the Big Apple, the Snob set his sights on the borough of Brooklyn, and, specifically, the famous Grimaldi’s, a place said to be favored by Frank Sinatra. (Did he really send his private jet from Vegas to bring in pies?) Accompanied by The Kid, his girlfriend, and the Snob’s […]
Alabama Getaway to Famous Joe’s Pizzeria
The Snob’s alter-ego, Music City Mike, just loves a road trip. He jumped at his friend Monty’s suggestion that they head to Huntsville, Alabama to see Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit record a live record at a local club. As with any road trip, the Snob did his googling and came up with a […]
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 […]
UPDATE – The Famous Roio’s Pizza Gets A Facelift
One of the Snob’s first stories was about the great pizza and crazy history of the original Ray’s Pizza which now operates in Manhattan as The Famous Roio’s. As a first recipient of our “Perfect Slice Award,” I was pleased to get this recent e-mail from them: We would like to thank you for your […]
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. […]
Music City – Lunch at Manny’s House of Pizza
A few weeks ago, the Snob gave you a list of the five best joints for NY-style pie in Nashville. He has since visited all five and is ready to give you his run-down on each. And the Snob is going to make it easy for you to decide where to eat, as it may […]
The Puffy Pie – Sicilian Pizza & Pasta (Nashville)
You know what I’m talking about. That little round “personal” pizza that is puffy because it has way too much cheese and dough. It’s light and fluffy and also undercooked because it wasn’t made in a conventional pizza oven. The cheese doesn’t cling to the oversized crust and it also has those light brown toast […]
