Look out Pittsburgh! In the days to come, the home of the Pirates, Steelers and Penguins will have to face the wrath of The Pizza Snob. Chalk this up to my son, The Philosopher, and his lovely wife who recently moved there to continue their studies and help save this crazy world of ours. I […]
Plaza Pizza – Home of the “Power Slice” in Secaucus (NJ)
On an extended stay in my old hometown of Bayonne, I was on a short leash while taking care of things at the family compound. Seeking a brief respite, my good old brother graced me with a night off to spend 4 hours with my home state’s favorite son, Bruce Springsteen in the Meadowlands. Since […]
Bayview Pizzeria in Bayonne, NJ—Not-So-Special Slice by the Bay
Guess what? I found another pizza joint in Bayonne.

Grandpa’s Kitchen in Bayonne, NJ—More Pizza Turnover on Broadway
This is getting to be an old story. A simple brick storefront downtown on Bayonne’s Broadway continues to change hands—remarkably remaining its configuration as a pizza joint.

Vinnie’s Pizza III—Another Great Cheesy Jersey City Slice
Still living my temporary daily situation in the Greenville area of Jersey City, I tracked down another nearby pizza joint for a midweek late afternoon lunch, Vinnie’s Pizza III. Not quite sure where its Danforth Avenue address would lead me, I was surprised to find Vinnie’s at the western end of the avenue where it […]
Jersey City’s Prince of Pizza— Invades Bayonne, NJ with Its Perfect Slice
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of discovering a great “street slice” place in Jersey City called Prince of Pizza. While devouring one of their perfect slices, I was surprised to find that they also had a joint in the northern end of my neighboring hometown of Bayonne. News to me, I can only […]
A Big, Big Slice at Vincent’s in Jersey City, NJ
Here’s a little thinking game that you can play. Let’s assume that somewhere there exists a collection of stop watches that keep track of the amount of time you spend in each city on Earth during your life time. What cities would have you clocked the most time in? For me #1 would be my […]
