Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom | Champaign, IL

Individual Meat Me Pizza

Old Chicago restaurants are scattered around the country, but, not surprisingly, they are most prevalent near Chicago.  The selection on their menu is as vast as their geographic coverage, and they offer appetizers, salads, wings, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, and calzones.  Lastly, if it wasn’t obvious by their full name, they also have a large selection […]

Godfather’s Pizza | Iraan, TX

Cheese Pizza

Godfather’s Pizza started in Omaha, Nebraska, and it seems they are most prevalent in the surrounding areas.  Still, they have restaurants across the country – from Alaska to Florida.  Their stores vary from standalone restaurants to express locations, which are typically attached to gas stations.  I visited an express one in Iraan, Texas that was with a gas […]

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 […]

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 […]

Marco’s Pizza | Westfield, IN

Marco's Pizza_Extra Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza

Marco’s Pizza just opened a new location in Westfield, Indiana, and they also already have locations in twenty-eight other states.  Their restaurant in Westfield offers some limited inside seating and is likely utilized more for carry out or delivery orders.  However, they do have a $5.99 lunch special – a six-inch sub, chips and a drink, a small salad […]

Pizza Ranch | Willmar, MN

MN - Pizza Ranch

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 Toasted Frog | Grand Forks, ND

ND - The Toasted Frog_Pepperoni

The Toasted Frog is a neat restaurant and lounge with locations in downtown Grand Forks and Bismarck. The one I visited in Grand Forks is in a historic building just off the banks of the Red River. They offer a little bit of everything from appetizers, soup and salad, to lavosh, entrees, and pizza of […]

Space Aliens Grill & Bar | Bismarck, ND

ND - Space Aliens Grill & Bar

All I need to say about Space Aliens Grill & Bar is that their food is out of this world! (get it?) In all seriousness, their fire roasted pizza was pretty good, although perhaps not the best in the entire universe as they claim. I tried the Perfect Pepperoni from Pluto pizza, and I enjoyed […]

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), […]
