Eno’s Pizza Tavern—Chicago Tavern-Style in Dallas’s Oak Cliff

My business meetings were over right after lunch, and the plane didn’t leave until 7pm. This meant that there was plenty of time for an afternoon pizza adventure in Dallas on this lovely spring day. With my research coming up as dry as a stale piece of crust, seeing the word “thin” in a write-up […]

Coal Vines – Swanky Pizza Place in Big D

I spent a lot of time in Dallas when I was a Texan and have many fond memories of this fine city. My trips back since then have been infrequent, and my research unfortunately has resulted in little in the way of any pizza to get excited about. A few years back, I had a […]

Nashville’s Night Train Pizza—Pizza Comes to the Gulch!

Nashville’s Gulch area is perhaps one of its most blatant examples of the City’s quick and slick tourist-centric growth. While there are some places in the Gulch that I enjoy, I suspect most locals like me, would rather hang in Hillsboro Village or East Nashville’s Five Points. And if the Gulch growth ever messes with […]

Sorbillo Pizzeria— Neapolitan Pizzaioli Come to the Bowery in Manhattan

There is just something I like about a Monday morning in Manhattan. Maybe the best way to sum it up is that the “City That Never Sleeps” seems a little sleepy after the weekend. Nonetheless, you can feel the city starting to come awake for another week, but it just doesn’t seem to be in […]

Attilio’s Pizza & Restaurant—A Spectacular Slice Surprise in Edison, NJ

Sometimes the Pizza Snob just can’t get away from eating pizza. Let family or friends make the plans for dining out, and they often feel obligated to put pizza on the agenda. Case in point was a Sunday afternoon family lunch outing in my brother’s hometown of Edison in the Pizza State. The destination he […]

Broadway Pizza—A Poetic Pizza Disappointment in Patterson NJ

A pizza slice has three sides and three ingredients Cheese, sauce and dough Some say that it is the perfect food I think that it is delicious The above attempt at a poem is a tribute to the brilliantly minimal Jim Jarmusch film, Patterson. Set in the overtly urban New Jersey city, it is a […]

The Vic in Bayonne NJ—The Big Apple Pizza Finds a New Home

Since I spend a lot of my pizza time in my hometown of Bayonne, NJ, I closed out 2017 with a recap of the Peninsula City’s year in pizza. As fast as you can say Mozzarella, I was bombarded by the Bayonneites on Facebook with the fact that I left out the reemergence of The […]

New York City’s Rubirosa Ristorante– The Best Pizza I Have Ever Had!

Yes, I realize that I am making a rather bold statement. But, I spent at least a few hours before first making this declaration on Facebook, and it’s now been a few months since I ate at Rubirosa Ristorante. There’s no changing my mind. In fact, after now visiting over 300 pizza joints across the […]

Golden Boy Pizza—San Francisco Square Kills It!

Although I was a child of the 70s, I totally embraced the music and spirit of the Flower Power decade of the 60s for which San Francisco was the epicenter. So, for me, walking the streets of North Beach was a mind-blowing experience. One highlight was snorting down an Espresso named for the late Jefferson […]

Jersey Restaurant—Pizza with a Taste of Trenton in San Francisco

Still discovering new pizza in the vast Bay Area, I got quite excited when I came across Jersey Restaurant. Run by two restauranteurs who moved west from the Pizza State, I liked what I saw at their website. The probability seemed high that Jersey would be one of the pizza highlights of my recent stay […]
