Fire by the Monon | Indianapolis, IN

Carnivore Flatbread

Fire by the Monon is a nice restaurant just a block west of the Monon Trail in Indianapolis’ Broad Ripple Village.  They are known for smoking and firing fresh, local ingredients.  Plus, they strive to offer a good selection of local craft beer.  Fire by the Monon has ample inside and patio dining, and their staff is extremely friendly.    They have several flatbreads on their […]

Upland Brewing Co. | Carmel, IN

Upland Brewing Company_Margherita Pizza

Upland is a brewery based out of Bloomington, Indiana that has become popular enough to open up a couple additional locations in central Indiana.  All of their beers are very good, and I am also a fan of their burgers and tenderloins.  Therefore, I was excited to try their pizza, but I don’t think it […]

The Cheesecake Factory | Indianapolis, IN

The Cheesecake Factory_Pepperoni Pizza

The Cheesecake Factory in the Keystone Fashion Mall on Indy’s north side must be doing something right because they are always busy, and I give them credit for having quick service despite the crowds.   Part of their draw may be that they have something for everyone with one of the biggest menus I have ever seen.  […]

Syd’s Bar | Noblesville, IN

Syd's Bar_PizzaReview

Syd’s is an older bar on the square of downtown Noblesville. They gained my respect for serving pizza even after the kitchen is closed (for everyone, not just The Pizza Fan). The pizza isn’t too special as it is just somewhat of a typical bar pizza. However, it does have a nice amount of cheese […]

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 […]
