Hamilton County Pizza

I’ve had a lot of pizza in Hamilton County, Indiana, so I thought it would be worth sharing some my favorite pizza places by its major cities: Carmel – Bazbeaux Pizza makes award-winning pizza in downtown Carmel. Fishers – Rockstone Pizzeria & Pub offers great pizza and beer, and they take my #1 spot in Fishers from Nancy’s […]

A Brief History of Pizza Hut

2011-11-16_11-24-26_808

I was recently in Wichita, Kansas, where Pizza Hut was founded, so I thought I should take a moment to share what I learned about perhaps the nation’s most recognizable pizza brand.  Brothers Dan and Frank Carney borrowed $600 to finance their pizza dreams, and the first Pizza Hut opened in Wichita on May 31, […]

Pizza buffets are very near and dear to my heart.  It all started with going to the Pizza Hut buffet with my parents as a child.  Ever since then, I have always treated going to a pizza buffet as a special event.  Due to the seriousness with which I take them, coupled with my previous experience, […]

Yesterday, the Tony Sacco’s in Carmel, Indiana was kind enough to allow me and group of coworkers to make our own pizza.  It was a great experience, far beyond making a Boboli at home.  I, of course, am quite proud of my pizza, and you can find pictures of the process below… Flouring the dough… Spreading the […]

That might seem like an odd title for a post on a website dedicated to pizza.  Well, luckily I would never actually say those four words together, and I would argue that nobody ever should.  Pizza is the world’s most popular food because of its versatility, and therefore, everyone should be able to find a […]
