Marion’s Piazza | Mason, OH

Marion's Piazza in Mason, OH_Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza

Marion’s Piazza first opened in Dayton, Ohio over forty-five years ago, and they have since expanded to a total of nine locations.  I ate at its newest location in Mason, a northeastern suburb of Cincinnati.  Marion’s first restaurant in Dayton served as somewhat of a trailblazer by offering seating for over two hundred people in its […]

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 […]

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 […]

Matt the Miller’s Tavern Review | Carmel, IN

Matt the Miller's Tavern_Classic Margherita Flatbread

Matt the Miller’s Tavern is located in a new building in the City Center area of Carmel, Indiana at the corner of Rangeline Road and 126th Street, and they also have locations in Grandview and Dublin, Ohio.  Their restaurants have a little bit of something for everyone making them hard to classify, but I would consider them to be an upscale […]

Antonio’s Review | Parma, OH

Antonio's Restaurant_Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza

Antonio’s Pizza in Parma, Ohio was one of the first pizzerias in the Cleveland area, and it continues to be family-owned and operated with a total of nine locations.  For the first time in the history of this website, I started my meal off with a salad (that’s right, a salad…it was not a typo).  I […]

Luigi’s Restaurant Review | Akron, OH

Luigi's Restaurant_Pizza with Pepperoni, Sausage, Extra Cheese, and Extra Sauce

If the old school atmosphere of Luigi’s Restaurant in Akron, Ohio doesn’t win you over, then their pizza definitely will.  I watched the “Chicago Band Box” perform over their entrance like it has for the past fifty years while I started my meal with their garlic bread with mozzarella.  This appetizer was good, but the […]

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 […]

Hound Dog’s Pizza Review | Columbus, OH

Hound Dog's Pizza - Pepperoni and Sausage

Hound Dog’s 3 Degree Pizza is on the edge of Ohio State University’s campus in Columbus, Ohio. I found the front entrance on High Street is easy to miss, but there is parking in the rear on Dodridge Street (that is where the picture of the outside below was taken). It is a very large […]

Adriatico’s Review | Columbus, OH

Adriatico's Pepperoni Pizza

Adriatico’s New York Style Pizza offers delicious pies on the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. The pizza I tried was Sicilian-style (fairly thick) and thin crust is also offered at Adriatico’s. I greatly enjoyed my pepperoni pizza with the sauce and buttery crust being particularly good. The large we ordered was enough […]
