UPDATE: Nashville’s Five Points Pizza
Original Review: 08/25/12 Previous Rating: ***** Near Perfection I have nothing more to say other than that I mis-rated it the first time. Simply stated, Five Point Pizza makes a perfect slice of cheese pizza. The Snob has now made three follow-up visits, and each time I was served a flawless slice. Since my first […]
UPDATE: California’s Travelling Pie for the People
Original Review: 07/21/2012 Previous Rating: ***1/2 Working On A Good Thing The Kid and I recently made a return visit to the Forecastle music festival in Louisville. Our adventure again gave us the opportunity to sample wares of the nomadic version of California’s Pie for the People. The end result was my realization that the […]
Soulshine Pizza Factory—Nashville’s New Hot Spot Is Not For the Snob
The news broke last November that Mississippi-based Soulshine Pizza Factory would be opening its first out-of state location in Nashville. This Pizza Snob had zero interest after looking at its menu and pizza photos on its website. Nothing classic or traditional about this place that offered only gourmet-style pies overloaded with toppings. Not that there […]
Mama’s Pizza—The Best in Fort Worth? No Way!
Mrs. Pie first told me about Fort Worth’s Mama’s Pizza back in the 80’s when we lived in the Lone Star State. She reminisced about loving their Hamburger Pizza in her high school days. That was a time when I didn’t trust eating any pizza in a Zip Code that didn’t start with a zero. […]
Fort Worth, TX – Another Pizza Place Named Joe’s
Having free time in a different town sends a consistent message to the Pizza Snob’s brain: “Find pizza!” It was a stinkin’ hot Texas afternoon, and with some time to kill I searched for a fast slice. My iPhone quickly indicated I was close to Joe’s Pizza & Pasta on Bryant Irvin Road. Of course, […]
Broadway Pizza Walk (Bayonne, NJ) Part Four: Late Night at Joe’s Pizzeria
Continuing to explore pizza in the city of my birth, my challenge this time was to see where I could get a slice on Broadway after 11 p.m. on a Friday night. Coming off the New Jersey Turnpike, I headed downtown on a rainy spring evening. Noticing some lights and activity on the northeast corner […]
Pizza Land—Soprano’s Joint in North Arlington, NJ Delivers
My friend, Doug the IT Guy, asked me if I had ever been to the pizza place that shows up in the opening credits to The Sopranos (watch here at 1:16). Pizza Land located on the Belleville Turnpike in North Arlington was the featured joint. Not only did I not remember seeing it on the show—which […]
Freehold NJ’s Federici’s—Springsteen’s Favorite Pizza Still One of Jersey’s Best
My brother, Dodger Fan, is now used to the fact that spending a day with me often requires more than one pizza experience. True to form, I ended our recent day trip to the Jersey Shore with a visit to a place I can’t believe I overlooked during my days living in the Garden State: […]
TOPPINGS – Pizza Compass iPhone App
Now here is something neat that my son, The iPhone Kid, sent my way—an iPhone app that points you to the nearest pizza joint. If you don’t like the one that is closest, spinning the pizza slice icon reveals the names and distances of all the pizza within your range. Clicking on a name gets […]
Greetings from Asbury Park NJ’s Porta Pizzeria
My brother and I spent a nice spring day down the Jersey Shore. I steered us first to Asbury Park, a place where I enjoyed the beach and boardwalk as a child then later followed its music scene. My last visit there was several years ago when I was shocked to see the overall decay […]
