Carrabba’s Italian Grill | CLOSED

Carrabba's Italian Grill_Pizza_Review

4/3/2013 Update – Unfortunately, the Carrabba’s in Carmel closed a little while ago.  They do still have Indiana locations in Mishawaka and Southport as well restaurants in thirty-one other states though. Carrabba’s Italian Grill gets The Pizza Fan’s recommendation for a quality date restaurant where you can still get good pizza. I think Carrabba’s can help […]

Domino’s Pizza | Westfield, IN

Domino's Pizza_Review_Westfield

I think Domino’s Pizza did a great job making their crust better when they went through their upgrade; it has some butter and seasoning that makes it pretty good. I think everything else tastes fairly similar, but as long as their prices stay the same then Domino’s is a great option for a decent tasting […]

Pizza Hut | Carmel, IN

Pizza Hut_Buffet

4/3/2013 Update – Unfortunately, the Pizza Hut at 1344 South Rangeline Road in Carmel that offered the buffet has closed.  However, they do still have a carryout and delivery location at 705 South Rangeline Road in Carmel.  The closest Pizza Hut restaurants with dine-in options and the lunch buffet are in Indianapolis, Fishers, and Noblesville. […]

Mellow Mushroom | Carmel, IN

Mellow Mushroom_Pizza_Rating

Mellow Mushroom is an interestingly themed restaurant that offers a fair amount of specialty pizzas as well as numerous different topping options for customers to build their own creations. I enjoyed their crust as they have some seasoning on it that tasted like garlic butter and parmesan to me (whatever it was added some nice […]

Buca di Beppo | Indianapolis, IN

Buca di Beppo_Indianapolis_Review

Buca di Beppo is a family-style Italian restaurant. Their pizza was pretty good, but they have other authentic Italian entrees that might be even better.  Their pepperoni pizza features large slices of pepperoni on top of mozzarella and provolone cheese. The crust is thin, and probably prepared in a coal oven, or the taste gives that […]

Fox & Hound | Carmel, IN

Fox & Hound Restaurant Group_Pizza_Review

Fox & Hound makes decent flatbread pizza, but their other bar food is more popular. Their platter appetizer with wings, pretzels, mozzarella sticks, and potato skins is a great place to start. From there, you can follow up with the pizza, or burgers, sandwiches, chicken, fish, etc. The pizza has a thin crust but is […]

Olive Garden | Indianapolis, IN

Olive Garden_Indianapolis_Restaurant Review

While it shouldn’t be surprising that I have only ever gotten the pizza at Olive Garden, I still think it is a decent option when combined with some of their breadsticks. This has been my standard meal at Olive Garden ever since they started giving away free pizza if you got an A in math […]

CiCi’s Pizza

IN - CiCi's Pizza

4/4/2013 Update – Many Cici’s locations, including the one I visited in Kokomo, have closed over the past few years.  I don’t know if they ever took my recommendation to bring back their cheesy garlic bread as there are no longer any locations close to me. I always found the cheesy garlic bread to be the highlight of Cici’s […]

Papa John’s | Carmel, IN

IN - Papa John's

I would say Papa John’s does a good job of having fresh-tasting pizzas as compared to their large chain competitors.  I think the garlic dipping sauce is a nice touch as their standard crust isn’t too flavorful otherwise.  They do offer thin crust as well, but then you lose out on the garlic dipping sauce.  […]

Fazoli’s | Carmel, IN

IN - Fazolis

Aside from that brief period when they charged you a quarter for breadsticks, I have always been a huge fan of Fazolis.  They have changed their pizza recipe quite a few times over the years, but I think the current one is pretty good.  It is a fairly greasy pizza with a hint of their breadstick […]
