I Dream Of Pizza A Pizza Blog, Established In 2008

Once upon a time (back in 2011) I wrote a 13 part series for this blog about pizza in Italy. When I returned to Italy in 2016 (on my honeymoon), I reviewed a lone pizzeria in Puglia. So I was excited to try at least a few new places this summer, during my first trip back to Italy in nearly a decade. My trip started in Florence and on day two, I visited Giotto Pizzeria Firenze (Via Panzani, 57) which ...

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.

TLDR – until recently, if you wanted to eat a pie from Chrissy’s you had to ...

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. What’s Unique? Pizza Town USA opened back in 1958, the year which is prominently displayed on its signage. Inside, it doesn’t look like all that much has changed since then. 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 ...
