Little Caesars | Westfield, IN

Little Caesars_HOT-N-READY Pepperoni Pizza

With the proper limited expectations, I think you can be satisfied with the pizza you get from Little Caesars given the price.  I was able to get a HOT-N-READY pepperoni pizza, a HOT-N-READY sausage pizza, and two orders of their Crazy Bread for slightly less than $20.  Being able to comfortably feed four adults for […]

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 […]

O’Scugnizzo Pizzeria | Utica, NY

O'Scugnizzo Pizzeria_Sausage and Garlic Pizza

Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2014, O’Scugnizzo Pizzeria is truly a staple of Utica, New York, and it is not just those in Utica who can enjoy their upside down pizzas – they now offer shipping throughout the continental U.S. to satisfy taste buds nationwide.  Eugeno Burlino (depicted in the painting on the wall in left-hand side of the […]

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.  […]

Houlihan’s Restaurant and Bar | Indianapolis, IN

Houlihan's Restaurant and Bar_Margherita Flatbread

Houlihan’s Restaurant and Bar has many locations, including two in central Indiana.  I ate at the Houlihan’s in northeastern Indianapolis’ popular Castleton Square Mall (just to clarify, its attached to the outside of the mall but is essentially its own building and is not a part of the food court in the mall or anything […]

Chuck E. Cheese’s | Indianapolis, IN

Chuck E. Cheese's_Medium Pepperoni Pizza

The fact that I visited a Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant with other grown men should help show that I will leave no stone unturned in my search for the best pizza.  While it probably won’t be winning any awards soon, their pizza was pretty decent and was certainly better than I expected.  It had a fairly […]

Adrienne’s Pizza Bar Review | New York (Financial Districit), NY

Adrienne's Pizza Bar in NYC_Pepperoni and Garlic Pizza

Adrienne’s Pizza Bar in New York City is located in the Financial District of lower Manhattan.  It is in a neat alley of restaurants and bars that is closed off to traffic and has picnic tables covering the road for the outside seating.  Not far from the New York Stock Exchange, I imagine this is an […]

Lombardi’s Pizza Review | New York (Little Italy), NY

Lombardi's in NYC_Margherita Pizza

Lombardi’s Pizza in New York, NY is recognized as the first pizzeria in the United States originally opened by Gennaro Lombardi in 1905.  Gennaro Lombardi was an Italian immigrant who began serving Neopolitan pizza in the Little Italy district of Manhattan in 1897 and received a license for his restaurant by the city of New York in […]

John’s Pizzeria Review | New York (Times Square), NY

John's Pizzeria_Half Traditional and Half Sausage and Garlic

John’s Pizzeria and their coal-fired brick oven pizza have been a staple of New York City since the late nineteen-twenties, and I could understand why as soon as I took my first bite of their legendary pizza.  The oldest John’s Pizzeria site is on Bleecker Street, and it still contains a lot of its original features.  I, however, ate […]
