Granbury TX’s Nizza Pizza – Bringing Delicious Pizza (and More) to the Small Towns of Texas
Readers of this space know of my fondness for Nizza Pizza, one of the best places to get a classic slice of New York-style pizza in the Lone Star State. After first discovering their bedrock in Mrs. Pie’s hometown of Weatherford, I later visited a family-affiliated Nizza in Fort Worth. So when a late spring […]
Mike’s Pizzeria in Bayonne, NJ – A Great Name and a Great Slice
Yes, I found another great pizza place in my hometown between the bays! This one even has a name that I could relate to: Mike’s Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant. I was back home on a Sunday afternoon, and before the kickoff of the Giants game, I got hungry for a slice. Eagerly seeking out something […]
Rosario’s Pizza—A Disappointing Slice on Manhattan’s Lower East Side
On my last trip to Manhattan, I sought out a Ray’s Pizza joint on the Lower East Side that as I expected turned out to be a dud. Working my way through the grimy streets after parking deep in the Orchard Street Shopping District, I noticed a late night pizza joint called Rosario’s Pizza. Their […]
Nolita’s Prince St. Pizza–New York City’s Home of the “Soho Square”
Sometimes a thrill-seeking mood strikes the Snob giving me the insatiable desire to try a new pizza place. When this happens, it helps to be in New York City where there are as many pizza joints as there are songwriters in Nashville. Recently the urge hit me while I was watching a show at Manhattan’s […]
New York City’s Village Pizza—Yet Another Perfect Slice in Greenwich Village
Walking in Manhattan one morning, I learned two bits of local trivia: (1) Hudson Street becomes 8th Avenue just before 12th Street and (2) the neighborhood of Greenwich Village extends to 14th Street. How did I uncover this vital information? Well, by taking notice of Village Pizza while I cruised uptown. A few weeks later, […]
Bella Pizza—A Quick Slice in Downtown Elizabeth, NJ
Finding himself unexpectedly in Elizabeth, New Jersey on a weekday afternoon, the Pizza Snob took a chance on some unplanned pie. Unfortunately, I struck out when I arrived to find that my targeted destination of well-respected pizza place Spirito’s Restaurant was closed during the day time. However, since I was jonesin’ for a slice, I […]
Rana’s Pizzeria—Bayonne High Schoolers’ Favorite Slice?
Please forgive me for saying it again, but can there really be more pizza places for The Pizza Snob to discover in his hometown? Well, last trip home to Bayonne I found another. On a targeted trek to the now “made-famous-by television” Pizza Linos, I noticed Rana’s Pizzeria, directly across the street from Bayonne High […]
Fiore’s Pizza on Bleecker Street— A Shining Star of a Slice!
You sure see a lot of pizza places when you walk the streets of Manhattan. The Pizza Snob however has self-imposed limitations dealing with time and calories. I therefore try to be selective and rely upon recommendations rather than fearlessly making surprise walk-ins to unfamiliar pizza joints. In the last few years, I must have […]
Basile’s Pizza in Hoboken—The Best Pizza Crust I’ve Ever Had!
The Pizza Snob hadn’t been to Hoboken since legendary music venue Maxwell’s went silent. Last time I was in town though, I had a wonderful “large” slice at Benny Tudino’s. Their five-star delight made me reckon that there would be more great pie to discover in the town I call “Manhattan West.” On a recent […]
Famous Ben’s Pizza of Soho—A New York Slice as Solid as They Come
On a recent trip to New York City, I was determined to do some mop-up work and revisit some pizza joints where I had dined before officially crowning myself the Pizza Snob. My planned stop at Famous Ben’s Pizza of Soho would also hopefully clear up my confusion about the three pizzerias in Lower Manhattan […]
