Jake’s Pizza Review | Willmar, MN

Jake’s Pizza has been serving the town of Willmar, Minnesota for about forty years, and, after eating there, I am convinced they will still be a favorite of the locals in another forty years.  I did some online research before heading to Willmar allowing me to already be fairly confident that Jake’s was the one place I had […]

Oley’s Pizza Review | Fort Wayne, IN

Oley’s Pizza has two restaurants in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and I ate at the one on the southwest side of town.  This location is in a small, less-than-spectacular-looking strip mall that offers limited signage indicating it houses a great pizzeria.  However, I quickly realized the facade is deceiving when I entered and found a packed house on […]

Al’s Pizza & Subs Review | Knox, IN

Al’s Pizza & Subs is fairly new to Knox, Indiana, but it now joins the ranks of some great pizza places in this small town in my opinion. I know some Chicagoans claim the secret to their pizza is the tap water, and mabye that is true for the northwestern-Indiana town of Knox as well. There […]

Kona Grill Review | Carmel, IN

Kona Grill in Carmel, Indiana is located within Clay Terrace, an outdoor shopping mall, and they also currently have locations within fifteen other states.  Kona Grill is most well-known for their sushi, but I appreciate that they serve pizza, sandwiches, and other dishes as well.  Being that I am in fact The Pizza Fan, and not The Sushi […]

Finch’s Brasserie Review | Bloomington, IN

Finch’s Brasserie is located on Kirkwood Avenue in Bloomington, Indiana in the block between two staples of Indiana University; the Sample Gates and Nick’s English Hut.  This family-owned restaurant is known for their farm-to-table fresh ingredients and for supporting other local businesses like Smoking Goose Meatery.  They are so focused on fresh ingredients that their […]

Mr. Pizza Review | Los Angeles, CA

Mr. Pizza in downtown Los Angeles is located in the Little Tokyo section of town.  As I am not a big fan of Asian food, it certainly stuck out as a solid dining option to me when I was in the area.  Mr. Pizza offers some unique pizza concoctions with non-traditional toppings such as a popular potato […]

Pitfire Pizza Review | Los Angeles, CA

Pitfire Pizza has a few locations in the Los Angeles area, and I stopped in at their downtown Los Angeles restaurant.  I started with their breadsticks (pictured below) which had a little bit of cheese on them and were very good.  My group then sampled three different pizzas, the pitfire sausage minus red onions (pictured […]

Antonio’s Review | Parma, OH

Antonio’s Pizza in Parma, Ohio was one of the first pizzerias in the Cleveland area, and it continues to be family-owned and operated with a total of nine locations.  For the first time in the history of this website, I started my meal off with a salad (that’s right, a salad…it was not a typo).  I […]

Luigi’s Restaurant Review | Akron, OH

If the old school atmosphere of Luigi’s Restaurant in Akron, Ohio doesn’t win you over, then their pizza definitely will.  I watched the “Chicago Band Box” perform over their entrance like it has for the past fifty years while I started my meal with their garlic bread with mozzarella.  This appetizer was good, but the […]

La Tana dell’Arte Review | Naples, Italy

I had incredibly high expectations for trying a margherita pizza in its birthplace of Naples, Italy, and the pizza I ate at La Tana dell’Arte Pizzera somehow managed to meet them.  Every element of the pizza was excellent.  The crust was probably one of the best I have ever tasted as it was fairly thin yet […]
