The Pizzeria Uno that I visited in downtown Chicago was the birthplace of Chicago-style deep dish pizza, and following is its history as described on Uno’s website: “In 1943, when Ike Sewell opened a restaurant at the corner of Ohio Street and Wabash Avenue in Chicago, Americans ate pizza primarily as a snack. Ike figured […]
California Pizza Kitchen | La Jolla, CA
California Pizza Kitchen offers good pizza and many more menu options than their name would imply. I liked that their pizza had a light, fluffy crust, however they aren’t exactly loaded with cheese and toppings. They offer a lot of specialty pizzas (the Meat Cravers pizza that someone I was with had is pictured below), […]
Hungry Howie’s | Indianapolis, IN
Hungry Howie’s has pretty good flavored crust options (sesame, cajun, butter cheese, butter, ranch, garlic herb, onion, and original) at no extra charge as they claim to be “home of hte flavored crust.” Their pizza is decent but not great, and the crust is probably the highlight. I also tried their breadsticks, or “Howie Bread”, […]
Carrabba’s Italian Grill | CLOSED
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
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
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. […]
Olive Garden | Indianapolis, IN
Papa John’s | Carmel, IN
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. […]
