Houlihan’s Restaurant and Bar has many locations, including two in central Indiana. I ate at the Houlihan’s in northeastern Indianapolis’ popular Castleton Square Mall (just to clarify, its attached to the outside of the mall but is essentially its own building and is not a part of the food court in the mall or anything […]
Bearno’s | Louisville, KY
Bearno’s Little Sicily has thirteen locations in the Louisville area and one in Florida. I dined at one in downtown Louisville not far from the Yum! Center, which I felt had to be a good omen. I was immediately proven right as soon as I noticed the sign outside of Bearno’s stating that their pizza and salad buffet with […]
Chuck E. Cheese’s | Indianapolis, IN
The fact that I visited a Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant with other grown men should help show that I will leave no stone unturned in my search for the best pizza. While it probably won’t be winning any awards soon, their pizza was pretty decent and was certainly better than I expected. It had a fairly […]
Marco’s Pizza | Westfield, IN
Marco’s Pizza just opened a new location in Westfield, Indiana, and they also already have locations in twenty-eight other states. Their restaurant in Westfield offers some limited inside seating and is likely utilized more for carry out or delivery orders. However, they do have a $5.99 lunch special – a six-inch sub, chips and a drink, a small salad […]
BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse Review | Shenandoah, TX
BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse has locations in fifteen different states with the majority being in California and Texas, and I visited one in The Woodlands/Shenandoah just north of Houston, Texas. They have some televisions and a bar but still offer a pretty nice sit-down restaurant atmosphere. They serve a very large menu that starts out with a […]
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 […]
Macaroni Grill Review | Carmel, IN
Romano’s Macaroni Grill is an Italian restaurant chain with locations throughout most of the United States, and I dined at the one in Carmel, Indiana. Like many Italian restaurants, Macaroni Grill starts you out with very good fresh bread and olive oil. We followed that up with their Mac & Cheese Bites appetizer which consisted […]
Giordano’s | Chicago, IL
I’ve never reviewed the same pizza place twice before, but I had to make an exception for Giordano’s. I had previously been very excited to find a Giordano’s location in Florida, and I enjoyed their thin crust at that time in anticipation of the moment when I could feast on their famous stuffed crust pizza […]
Pizzeria Uno | Chicago, IL
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), […]
