I Dream Of Pizza A Pizza Blog, Established In 2008

It’s rare that I declare a pizza place “the best” in a particular locale. But I’ve spent a lot of time in Austin — and earlier this year, I took my 10th trip there over the past decade. That means I’ve eaten a lot of pizza there. From The Backspace and Via 313 to Bufalina and Pedroso’s. From Side Eye and Home Slice to… heck, I’ve ever driven out to Dripping Springs to get pies at Jester King. And my ...

Should you trust the hype? Everyone seems to have an opinion about Chrissy’s Pizza (142 Nassau Street), which until recently held the honor of being one of New York’s most elusive pies. What started as a Bushwick apartment pop-up during the pandemic, transformed into an East Village pop-up last year, operating out of the Superiority Burger space, after hours and only on select evenings.

I’m a sucker for old school pizzerias. Bonus points if it’s a neon-lit roadside building. Before even tasting a pie at Pizza Town USA (95-111 Route 46 West) in New Jersey’s Elmwood Park, I was already in love with the ambiance.

The place is bare bones — and that’s reflected in ...

Every year I look forward to counting down my five favorite pizzas from the past 12 months. I started this annual recap back in 2013 (that year, pies from Pizza Brain, Colony Grill, Table 87, Micucci Grocery, and Luna D’Autunno — a pizzeria in Vietnam!) made the cut. Since then, top accolades have gone to Pizzeria Pico (2014), The Parlor (2015), Westwind Orchard (2016), Pie For The People (2017), Mama’s Too (2018), La Morra Pizzeria (2019), Pizza Rita (2020), Kingston ...

I often say that many cities in the Midwest are underrated. Cleveland is not one of them. Until recently, it’d been about 15 years since I last visited. And while there are enough activities and attractions to fill a weekend, I’ve always found a lack of truly noteworthy food in the city. This time, I set my sights on Cent’s Pizza + Goods (5010 Lorain Ave), a spot that felt like it was trying just a bit too hard to ...
