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 […]
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 […]
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) […]
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 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 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”, […]
Rudino’s Pizza and Grinders has a special place in my heart as I was able to watch a Colts victory there while in Cincinnati, home of the “Bungles.” It is a nice sports bar that offers a wide variety of food which obviously includes pizza and grinders. I got a pizza with extra cheese and […]
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 […]
