BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse Review | Shenandoah, TX

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse_Gourmet Five Meat Deep Dish Pizza 1

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_Pepperoni Pizza

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 - Pepperoni Pizza

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 […]

Pizza Factory | Payson, AZ

AZ - Pizza Factory

I was unfamiliar with the Pizza Factory when I tried it, despite the fact that it apparently has over 120 locations across five states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, and Washington). I visited a location in a strip mall in Payson, AZ as I had been driving from northern Arizona for a couple hours and Payson […]

California Pizza Kitchen | La Jolla, CA

CA - California Pizza Kitchen

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), […]

Round Table Pizza | Woodland, CA

CA - Round Table Pizza_Review

Roundtable Pizza is a chain throughout most of the west coast. I enjoyed the ham and bacon pizza I ordered as the toppings were excellent. I tried the original crust which was pretty good but not too special. They also offer pan and skinny crusts though. Some of their locations, this one included, have all-you-can-eat […]

Hungry Howie’s | Indianapolis, IN

IN - Hungry Howie's

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”, […]

Grimaldi’s Pizzeria | Scottsdale, AZ

AZ - Grimaldi's Pizzeria

Grimaldi’s Pizzeria serves great coal-fired pies. Their pizza is nice and greasy, and it has the softest crust of any coal oven pizza I have ever eaten. The pizza I ate had enough cheese and delicious little pepperonis. I was with someone who also enjoyed the pesto pizza, and it is pictured below. Grimaldi’s Pizzeria […]

Villa Pizza | Las Vegas, NV

Villa_PizzaReview

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 […]

Trattoria del Lupo | Las Vegas, NV

Trattoria del Lupo_PizzaReview

Trattoria del Lupo serves better pizza than I expected considering it is a fairly fancy restaurant. Their pasta might be a better option though as it is made fresh daily. They also have a nice bar with a lot of beer and wine options. Some of the restaurant is enclosed, but they also have a […]
