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 […]
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 […]
Il Vicino Wood Oven Pizza was recommended to me by those who call Wichita home (they also provided me with some trivia in that Pizza Hut was actually started in Wichita), and I believe their recommendation was a good one. I tried the Salsiccia pizza which was comprised of marinara sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, tomatoes, and fresh […]
The Pizza Ranch has grown to become a popular chain in the great plains and western midwest states since first opening in Hull, Iowa in 1981. They currently have locations in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. I believe most of their restaurants offer lunch (11am-1:30pm) and dinner (5-8pm) […]
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), […]
Villa Pizza is a typical New York-style food court pizza place similar to Sbarro. I do think that Villa Pizza might have a little more cheese and an airier crust though. Their garlic rolls are definitely worth having. The Villa Pizza is ate at is located in the C Terminal of the Las Vegas McCarren […]
Sbarro is located in food courts across the nation as well as a few other countries. The location I visited was next to the convention center in Anaheim and only blocks away from Disneyland. Sbarro serves an average New York-style pizza as well as a few other items. While it certainly isn’t the best pizza […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
