Pizza 317 | Carmel, IN

Outside

Pizza 317 is a new addition to the northeast Carmel pizza scene.  I imagine most of its business is delivery or carryout, but it does have some limited seating as well. Most of the items on the menu at Pizza 317 are named after something relating to central Indiana.  I started with the Colts Cheese […]

Flix Brewhouse | Carmel, IN

Inside Flix Brewhouse

Flix Brewhouse is a movie theater that also prepares their own food and brews their own beer.  Not only will they serve you in the actual theater, but they are also confident enough in their food and beer to offer it in a pub-like area of the lobby, regardless of whether you plan to see a movie there […]

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 […]

Subway | Carmel, IN

Subway Pepperoni Flatizza

Despite the fact that they annoyingly call it Flatizza, I felt obligated to try this offering at Subway since they are technically the world’s largest restaurant chain that serves pizza.  I went in with fairly low expectations, and I would say those were appropriately set.  My pepperoni “Flatizza” had a somewhat tough crust, and the sauce tasted […]

Blaze Pizza | Carmel, IN

Blaze Pizza_Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza

Blaze Pizza offers a new and unique take on the pizza-ordering experience, and I think their fast, highly personalized approach will only continue to gain in popularity.  While they have some signature pizzas, Blaze is most known for their “build your own” option that allows patrons to follow their pizzas through the preparation process and add […]

Coalition | Carmel, IN

Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano | Carmel, IN

Biaggi's_Sausage Pizza

Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano is a chain of nice, yet casual, Italian restaurants that offer soup, salad, pasta, seafood, steak, pizza, and dessert.  I dined at their restaurant in Carmel’s Clay Terrace outdoor mall, and I was impressed by how they classed-up the interior from the bars that were in its location previously.  I was with a group […]

Crust Pizzeria Napoletana | Carmel, IN

Crust in Carmel, IN_Soprano Pizza

Crust Pizzeria Napoletana, or simply Crust, just opened this week in Carmel, Indiana at the south end of the Providence Shoppes on Old Meridian.  As the full name implies, Crust strives to serve authentic Neopolitan pizza.  The owner personally cooks most of these pizzas in Crust’s stone oven that is kept at 700 degrees.  Before delving […]

Chili’s Grill & Bar | Carmel, IN

Chili's Bar & Grill_Pepperoni Pizza

It seems as though a lot of the large restaurant franchises are now starting to try to capitalize on pizza’s popularity, and Chili’s is no exception.  They recently began offering pepperoni, five cheese, taco, and southwestern chicken personal nine-inch pizzas.  The pan crust of my pepperoni pizza from the Chili’s in Carmel, Indiana was decent, but it also made up […]
