Nizario’s Pizza—Somewhat Satisfying San Francisco Slice
In the midst of my second recent extended stay in San Francisco, there still were a few promising pizza places I had planned to visit. There also were tons of places that I lacked good intel on and some that just looked like they’d be downright awful. One that showed a spark of hope was […]
Bus Stop Pizza—Nothing Special, But A San Francisco Slice You Might Like
Bus stop, wet day, she’s there, I say, “Please share my slice of pizza.” My apologies to songwriter Graham Gouldman and the hit song “Bus Stop” he wrote for The Hollies in 1966, but I just couldn’t resist. However, just one look (yet another Hollies pun!) at the photo above, and you will see why […]
Velo Pizzeria in Napa, CA– Sorry, Just Not My Kind of Pizza
The Pizza Snob and his posse went on a Napa walk-about after finishing at our destination pizza stop, the superfine Neapolitan pizza-maker Azzurro Pizzeria e Enoteca. Working our way around an unfamiliar downtown, you could not help but notice the poles of small signs pointing you to local establishments. The placard for Velo Pizzeria kept […]
Azzurro Pizzeria e Enoteca—Some Killer Crust in Napa
Visiting the Cali-transplanted side of the family for Thanksgiving, we took a drive north from the Bay Area to the city of Napa. The Pizza Snob’s first and perhaps only-ever visit to the wine country would of course have to include pizza. Fortunately, this turned out to be an easy outing to convince the group […]
Vinnie’s Pizza—A Fantastic New York Slice in Brooklyn
Over the years, the Snob has accumulated a list of recommended pizza places so long, that I rarely can recall the source of any one of them. Case in point was my recent selection of Vinnie’s Pizza in Brooklyn. This lack of background also fails to include whether the tip differentiated between their Williamsburg and […]
Filippo’s Famous Pizza—Long, Lean and Delicious Slice in New Brunswick, NJ
Pick any city in the Pizza State, and you will find that it has at least one spectacular pizza joint. It’s a place that’s been there forever, for the most part is always open, of course serves slices, and most likely delivers. It also isn’t the kind of place you’d take your wedding party for […]
Pizza at the Reservoir Restaurant—A Family Tradition in South Orange, NJ
Spending a weekend home with my Dad in the Pizza State, as usual, I found myself trying to find a new pizza place to visit. While poking around in Cyberspace, it dawned on me that it had been over 40 years since I had been back to visit my old school, Seton Hall University in […]
Bayonne NJ Pizza in 2017– The Year in Review
Is this for real? Despite being one of America’s greatest pizza cities, believe it or not, there is still a Domino’s in my home town of Bayonne, NJ. With all the great slices available around town, who would eat here is a mystery to me. Here’s a brief recap of the year’s pizza news in […]
Manhattan’s Williamsburg Pizza—It’s Darn Good So Don’t Let the Hype Fool You!
My long hectic evening travelling through Manhattan had finally come to its last stop. My destination was a highly-rated pizza joint that had been on my radar for quite some time. The place was the LES (“Lower East Side”) location of Williamsburg Pizza. Taking its name from the Brooklyn neighborhood of its flagship spot, in […]
Manhattan’s Gotham Pizza – The Snob’s Super Slice Surprise of 2017
My friend Benny from New York City is one cool dude. Like me, he loves Elvis, Jesus, and pizza. To make it clear, that’s Costello, Christ and New York-style. When he learned that I was the Pizza Snob, he let out with a few of his favorite Manhattan joints with Gotham Pizza at the top […]
