DeSano Pizza & Bakery—Italian Pizza Tradition in Nashville
OK, so I get it. Neapolitan style is the traditional way pizza is made in Italy, and the pies are baked in wood burning ovens using the finest imported ingredients. That doesn’t mean I have to like it. DeSano Pizza & Bakery arrived in Nashville a few years ago to much fanfare. (They also have […]
Al Taglio—New Nashville Convention Center Get a Swanky Pizza Joint
In January, the newly launched Music City Center announced the addition of two adjoining food places to their convention facility: a Dunkin’ Donuts and a pizza place called Al Taglio. These two establishments sit on the southwest corner of the gigantic downtown center at Fifth Avenue South and Korean Veterans Boulevard. Both places are accessible […]
Bayonne NJ Pizza Blitz—Part 5: Denapoli Krispy Pizza
Walking back home from my Bayonne Pizza Blitz, I thought I was finished until I saw another place that was off my radar. This joint was just a block up from Brothers on the other side of the street. Thinking that I had room for another slice, I thought I’d give this place with an […]
Bayonne NJ Pizza Blitz—Part 4: La Guardiola Pizzeria
The Bayonne Pizza Blitz continued with a walk further up Broadway. La Guardiola Pizzeria & Bistro was another recommendation from the folks on the Bayonne Facebook page and is a bit more upscale than most of the pizza joints in town. It has a nice European-style café look. Its hip look and fancy tables made […]
Bayonne NJ Pizza Blitz—Part 3: Pizza Lino’s
I resumed my Bayonne Pizza Blitz by heading across to Avenue A on the west side of town. Pizza Linos was another place recommended by the Bayonne Facebook page, located just a block away from Bayonne High School. Judging by their 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. weekday $1.00 slice special, I suspect they do a […]
Bayonne NJ Pizza Blitz—Part 2: Brother’s Pizza
The next target of my Bayonne Pizza Blitz was just a block up Broadway from Ronny’s Pizzeria and Restaurant. Brothers Pizza & Pasta was new to me, but many locals on the Bayonne Facebook page said great things about this family-owned and operated business. Entering the small joint, I made my way through a packed […]
Bayonne NJ Pizza Blitz—Part 1: Ronny’s Pizzeria
As the Snob has said before, it feels like I will never run out of new pizza places to try in my hometown of Bayonne, New Jersey. I took advantage of the mild winter weather one Sunday afternoon on my last trip back to walk around town and visit a few places for the first […]
Arturo’s Coal Oven Pizza—A Thick Pie and a Great New York City Vibe
The Slice website offers a map of the twenty current New York City-Area Coal-Oven Pizzerias. The intense dry heat of a coal oven can produce a charred and crisp pizza crust that is delightfully delicious. I have heard it said that new locations are currently banned for environmental sake, and that a prospective pizza-maker can […]
Lenny’s Pizza– Legendary Joint Still Stands in Brooklyn
When Bro said that he could have eaten another slice after our visit to L&B Spumoni Gardens, he should have known that The Pizza Snob always has a another plan. On my list of Brooklyn joints to visit was Lenny’s Pizza. In business since 1953, John Travolta made Lenny’s famous in Saturday Night Fever, the […]
Villa Victoria – Finding Pizza Perfection in Montclair, NJ
The Pizza Snob’s alter-ego, Music City Mike, was on his way to do what he likes to do best—see live music. My destination as my alter-ego, Music City Mike was to the Outpost in the Burbs concert series in Montclair, NJ, to see Willie Nile. As always, The Pizza Snob was also in the mix […]
