The Snob and Mrs. Pie in Italy—Off to a Great Start in Rome at C’era una volta …la Pizza
Somewhere inside our brain is a place where we create and store imaginary mental images of the places we have heard of but have never actually visited. Mine had a directory full of almost sixty years of images of what Italy would be like. Finally, with the nest at home now empty, I was able […]
Nashville Pizza Company–Not in Nashville and Not Very Classic
Looking for more local pizza places to pick on, I decided to go back to a place I hadn’t visited in several years: Nashville Pizza Company. NPC currently operates two places in Franklin, but does not actually have a spot in the Music City. So let’s face it, why didn’t they call it the Franklin […]
UPDATE: The Market Closes for Franklin TN’s Wall Street Pizza
Original Review: 10/16/13 PIZZA SNOB RATING *** ½ Working on a Good Thing The Pizza Snob isn’t sure exactly when, but the once-promising Wall Street Pizza at the Moores Lane and Franklin Road shopping center has vanished.

Pie Five Pizza Co.–A New Design-Your-Own-Pizza Chain Comes to Nashville
It seemed that there had been a lack of hometown attention from the Nashville-based Pizza Snob. So after “blogging-up” the efforts of my recent pizza travels, it was time once again time to ruffle some local feathers.

London, England’s Ecco Pizza—An Exquisitely Excellent Italian Pizza
In what has hopefully become an annual biz trip, the Pizza Snob got to travel once again to England, his second favorite country. While I certainly did not anticipate matching last year’s home run at London’s Mulberry Street, I was also quite skeptical about whether I’d even find another pizza place worth trying. That was until […]
Lower Manhattan’s Steve’s Pizza—Yet another Run-of-the-Mill New York Slice
After having a yawn of a slice over at Stage Door Pizza, I still had more time to kill and thought I’d seek out another before catching the train back to Jersey. Googling about on my iPhone, I stumbled across a place called Steve’s Pizza. What caught my attention was some tourist’s remark that if […]
Lower Manhattan’s Stage Door Pizza—Just another Run-of-the Mill New York Slice
The Pizza Snob’s drizzly day in Manhattan was coming to an end. With still some time to kill before I needed to be anywhere, I thought I would see if I could scope out some new pie down near the World Trade Center where I’d be catching the train back to Jersey. Well, I thought […]
Manhattan’s Harry’s Italian—Spectacular Square Slices at 30 Rock
The Pizza Snob has had scant success in finding a decent slice of pizza in Midtown Manhattan. Determined to succeed on my last trip back for a biz meeting, my research uncovered Harry’s Italian which looked like a worthy place for me to try. Having only scoped out the basics of Harry’s location, I was […]

Manhattan’s V&T Pizzeria—Art Garfunkel’s Favorite Pie is a Winner!
When I am back home in the Pizza State of New Jersey, there is nothing better I like doing on a pretty Sunday afternoon than taking a journey into some new strange unexplored area of the island of Manhattan. It was a perfect day for doing just that, and I grabbed my brother and we […]
