Juliana’s Pizza in Brooklyn–Yep, It’s the Real Deal
It only took three years for the Pizza Snob to finally get to Juliana’s Pizza, Patsy Grimaldi’s much-ballyhooed return to the pizza biz. Located underneath the Brooklyn Bridge, along with his namesake Grimaldi’s and the unheralded Ignazio’s, this last leg of the Brooklyn Pizza Triangle truly lived up to my expectations. It was fantastic. As […]
New York City’s Solo Pizza—Snob Finds a Perfect Slice in Alphabet City
It was a nice quiet late summer Sunday evening in Manhattan. One of those nights when it seemed like no one was out doing anything. They were either slow in getting back from the beach, or just home retiring early before another work week began. The Snob was on holiday tomorrow, so I was free […]
La Margarita—A Pretty Good Slice of Pizza on Manhattan’s LES
Exploring the Lower East Side on foot, I knew that sooner or later I would find a new pizza joint to sample. I eventually stumbled upon La Margarita on a darkened and cluttered section of Ludlow Street. With a name like theirs (which I had last seen at a popular Mexican restaurant in San Antonio) […]

Original Review: 07/14/14 PIZZA SNOB RATING ****1/2 Nearer Perfection If you called Naples Pizza last week to order a pie, here is the recorded message you may have heard from a familiar female voice: “Yes, I would like to inform my customers that this Sunday (12/20/15) will be our last night.

Stanton Street Pizza—Great Neighborhood Joint on Manhattan’s LES
After an unplanned stop for a quick slice at Pomodoro on Spring Street, I got back to my mission of a multi-slice night on New York City’s Lower East Side. With plenty of time to kill before it was show time at the way cool Rockwood Music Hall, courtesy of good old Google, my first […]
Pomodoro on Spring Street—The Home of the Vodka Slice is a Winner!
Back home on a Saturday evening in the Pizza State, I took flight across the river into the Pizza City. Although my mission was to further explore pizza in the LES (“Lower East Side”), I first made an unplanned stop at Pomodoro Ristorante & Pizzeria. Located on a corner in the East Village just above […]
Brother’s Pizza – A Great Traditional Slice on Staten Island
Back home in the Pizza State, my brother and I decided to cross the “ever-lifting” Bayonne Bridge to see the Staten Island Yankees minor league baseball team. It’s one of the best Friday night deals around. For twenty bucks you get a box seat, cap, hot dog and a drink. However, if the Pizza Snob […]
Porta Via in Franklin, TN—A Certified Neapolitan Pizza Success!
Sometimes it’s a stretch for me to leave my New York-style pizza comfort zone to try a Neapolitan style pie, even when I know it’s gonna be good. While nothing could take the place of a nice crisp folded NY slice, the Snob has happened upon a few tasty Neapolitan pies. My first experience with […]
Wick’s Pizza Parlor & Pub – Louisville Favorite Fails to Win over the Snob
If you search on-line for what locals think is the best pizza in Louisville, Wick’s Pizza Parlor & Pub is almost always at the top if not on top. Will somebody please tell me what I am missing? I walked by Wick’s last year while making my way to Spinelli’s Pizzeria which is so far […]
Donatos Pizza—Heartland Chain Serves Up Chicago Tavern-Style Crispy
Leaving Columbus, Ohio after a short stay on business, I thought my trip had had its last taste of pizza. Until lo and behold, there was a Donatos Pizza staring me down in the airport terminal not too far from my departing gate. Since I was looking for dinner and had been wanting to check […]
